Little Mermaid II, The: Return to the Sea

Pros: The entire movie
Cons: None, none, none!

Last night I sat down with my two year old daughter, Courtney, and my eight year old son, Nicholas, to watch The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. I was a little weary at first, thinking it couldn't possibly be as good as the original. Boy was I...

Cons: poor dialogue, hackneyed plot, uninspiring songs, incontinuity

Pros: Continues the story, animation is similar to the original
Cons: Songs are a little odd in lyrics

This week Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid II was released and I just had to see it, with or without my kids. The original had wonderful animation and songs and I really hoped this would be just as good.

In the Beginning we find...

Pros: wonderful story, beautiful music

Ariel, the Little Mermaid has been a regular in our home for years. All three of my girls have adored stories and movies about her, but my youngest at age 7 is particularly enthralled.

A few weeks ago I bought this movie during a shopping...

Pros: cute story, returning characters
Cons: the songs aren't as memorable

Today was the day that Walt Disney Pictures released the sequel to the hit movie The Little Mermaid. Though I’ve been rather disappointed with other “direct to video” sequels, The Little Mermaid II-Return to the Sea was better than I...

Pros: Great movie for all
Cons: None

I saw The Little Mermaid when I was a pre teen years back. I loved that movie and bought it for my daughter last year when I saw it at Walmart. I just recently found out there was a second one called Little Mermaid II, The: Return to the Sea. I guess it ...

Pros: A excellent sequel to the original
Cons: Fewer and more mediocre songs

Pros: Sweet movie, similar cast from first Little Mermaid
Cons: Sad to see Ariel grow up! Some animation

My daughter must be the biggest Ariel fan around. She is 2 1/2 and adores the mischevious-but-sweet, red-headed Disney Princess. Her fascination with "The Little Mermaid" amazed my husband and I. Thus our decision to purchase the sequel.

...

Pros: top-notch story and voicework
Cons: pedestrian songs, usual wacky sidekicks

With the notable exception of Robin Williams goosing up Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the Disney direct-to-video product is usually guilty of taking a cash cow and slaughtering it for the last vestiges of moohla. But surprisingly, The Little Mermaid...

Pros: same wonderful characters along with a few new ones, same wonderful animation
Cons: I do not like the music as well though there are a couple of cute songs

Every once in a while a sequel will surpass the complexity and life-like quality the original had, but in the case of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea vs. The Little Mermaid – there is no doubt in my mind that The Little Mermaid was far more...

Pros: good songs, music, and characters
Cons: a sequel

My daughter loves The Little Mermaid, the original. Therefore, it didn't surprise me to find out she would love The Little Mermaid II as well.

Cons: Just not the caliber of an original story.

My girls and I have accumulated quite the collection of Disney movies. I think we are only missing maybe two or three of the entire Disney parade. So, of course, we had to pick this one up. I am always hesitant about sequels. In my experience with...
