Editorial Review: Product Description: Disney's amazing undersea classic lives on in an all-new story bursting with the same captivating music style, unforgettably colorful characters and brilliant animation that made the original film an Academy Award®-winning favorite. After rejoicing over the birth of their daughter Melody, Ariel and Eric must face a new threat from Ursula s revengeful sibling Morgana, a threat that forces them to hide Melody's true mermaid heritage. Melody, a young princess curious about her roots, ultimately ventures into the sea against her parents wishes. There she meets new friends and in her dream to become a mermaid becomes a pawn in Morgana's plot to gain control of the Seven Seas. Ariel must reunite with her childhood friends Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle to rescue her daughter and restore harmony to her family. An all-star cast returns, including Jodi Benson (Ariel) and Samuel E. Wright (Sebastian) for a remarkable adventure teeming with surprises, a new deleted song and all-new game. Amazon.com: Ariel and her husband, Prince Eric, have a little problem with their daughter, Melody, in the sequel to Disney's landmark The Little Mermaid. Melody is threatened by Morgana, the evil sister of the sea witch Ursula (both voiced by Pat Carroll). Before you can say "Briar Rose," Melody's parents decide to keep their daughter's roots a secret, forbidding her to learn about the ocean while Morgana is around. Now the budding teenager secretly frolics in the sea with Ariel's old friends, Sebastian and Scuttle. When she learns the truth from Morgana, Melody becomes an unknowing pawn in her scheme--and Mom has to take to the sea again to help. As with Disney's other made-for-video sequels, The Little Mermaid II looks and sounds wonderful (and reunites much of the same vocal talent). Four- to nine-year-olds who grew up with the original will certainly enjoy seeing the friends again. A new set of artists has come up with four catchy tunes and some fun new characters, including Tip and Dash, a pensive penguin and his blubbery walrus friend. Yet, where Beauty and the Beast had a deliberate Christmas-themed sequel, and Pocahontas told the tale of her historical trip to England, the plot here is very forced. It is pretty much a rehash of the first film with different characters. Tip and Dash are a reincarnation of Timon and Pumbaa, and Morgana is exactly like her sister, except thinner. Besides the stellar music, this unneeded sequel also misses another important aspect of the original--heart. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - diamreM elttiL ehT - that's The Little Mermaid in reverseFrom an adult perspective, this is just the original in reverse. Ariel wants to live on land, her daughter wants to live in the sea. Ursala is dead, so her sister Morgana plays the sea witch. It's cute, but isn't a truly original idea. I would only give it 3 stars, except....... From my daughters perspective, it's wonderful. She is 5 and is a huge mermaid fan. She loves this movie (I have sat through it 10 time since Christmas) The movie was made with her age group in mind, so I had to go 4 ... Read More Rating: - Best of the direct-to-DVD SequelsI usually don't expect much from a direct-to-DVD sequel. Usually, it's just a way to give my three-year-old daughter her favorite characters without having to watch the original movie for the 3,000th time. But, The Little Mermaid II pleasantly surprised me. The plot is basically a reverse of the original movie. After being threatened by the evil sea witch Morgana, Ariel decides it's not safe to tell her infant daughter, Melody, about her mermaid heritage. Flash forward 12 years and Ariel ... Read More Rating: - Nice film, wonderful songs, similar plot to the originalAnimated primarily in Australia and Canada, this is the second in a trilogy of Mermaid movies; the first of course, being the theatrical megahit and the other two made for home video. Return to the Sea takes no chances with its presold audience by having the daughter of Ariel experience a similar adventure as her mother with perhaps even more intense defiance (Ariel's issue with her father in the first film is freedom, Melody's problem in this film is with Ariel's reluctance to open ... Read More Rating: - Not bad for a sequelMy daughter got this movie on VHS a couple of years ago, when she was four years old. She was totally into Ariel & the original movie at the time. She actually liked this movie better than the original, because the story is about a kid who wants to swim in the ocean, not a lovesick teenager. She could relate to it more. While it is clearly not as good as the original, if you have a Little Mermaid fan, they will enjoy this movie. Rating: - Direct-to-video release; pleasant enoughThis direct-to-video movie was released in 2000, 11 years after the original "Little Mermaid" was embraced by millions of Disney fans in 1989. This sequel is being released in a 1-disc special edition. As others have noted, it is a very similar rehashing of the original tale. Ariel & Eric are married and have a beautiful dark-haired daughter, Melody. When Ursula's evil sister, Morgana, appears on the scene, King Triton & Ariel must protect Melody by building a large wall around the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
