Movie Reviews of The Little Mermaid II - Return to the Sea
Movie Review: This movie ruined the little mermaid
Summary: 1 Stars
I was really dissappointed with this movie. Melody was a really cool character but at the same time seemed to make really stupid decisions. I don't care if this is supposed to be a movie for kids they should make a much better story plot for the little mermaid 2.
About melodies decisions when her mom told her to give her back that tridant she gave it to Ursulas sister. How could you not trust your own mother like that? And then King tridant is not evil looking and he is the king and the merpeople are all happy so why was she stupid enough to believe Ursulas' sister when it was obvious that she was lying. They just should have made melody more intelligent.
Then like I said before the story plot just really sucks. It was a short and boring movie. They should have had way more adventure in it and some other problem besides Ursulas sister.
Another thing that bothered me was the voice of Eric! He sounded really gay! I hated it. The whole movie just sucked really bad. The first little mermaid was so awesome and this movie just destroyed the whole ariel and eric relationship too. It just did not seem to fit.
A second little mermaid movie would have been great if they would have acaully made a good one.
Movie Review: just as usual - another sequel!
Summary: 3 Stars
Little mermaid was just the same as the first! The first one the story was complex and it fit nicely together, but they should have made another story line for it!
I liked seeing Melody but she took away Ariel's free spiritedness that all girls would like to copy.
The villian is the exact same! For the same goal too! It was totally predictable what would happen!!
I think the songs weren't all that except "For a Moment" that was cute. The jokes were corny and Scuttle is soooo dumb in this sequel!!! Honestly! In the first one he had SOME sense but in this one, he couldnt answer, "whats kickin'"!!!
Tip and Dash.. I think I've seen them somewhere before *cough cough* the drawings or the art didn't look that good.
COme on Disney!!! Make another movie stop with the sequels!
I was a BIG fan of little mermaid but this movie kinda ruined it.
sorry, but this sequel was just plain OK
Movie Review: A WORTHY SEQUEL !
Summary: 4 Stars
Great animation, great plot, great songs, great new characters! A cute introduction of Ariel's daughter Melody. Worth seeing and owning!Movie Review: What have they done to Ariel
Summary: 1 Stars
Oh my goodness what have they done to the little mermaid.
They sucked the soul out of her and made an obnoxious clone aka her daughter.
This movie is very terrible. I believe the original isn't on sale anymore because if that were the case this movie would have been sent back to the vault in a hurry.
Movie Review: I wish I could give this one a billion stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
I for one loved this movie and didn't compare it to the original. I loved the Lion King 2 (Simba's Pride) and didn't compare that one to the first one. I adore the Rescuers Down Under, but its not the same as the first one. And the sequel to Lady and the Tramp? I liked that one too. Yes, there are going to be changes when one waits years to make a sequel. I love the sequels for being movies in their own right. By the way, I am almost 22 years old and remember the first Little Mermaid very well. I've grown up on Disney, and out of the forty dvds I own, 80% of them are Disney.
Anyway, the Little Mermaid 2 is a great movie. The animation is even clearer and more beautiful than the first one, due to the changes in technology over the last decade, and the songs are just as catchy and fun. In fact, I watched it a few days ago and still have "Tip and Dash" stuck in my head. In my opinion, Disney did a great job with the story itself, making it believable and moving. The actors and actresses all give their best and it shows in the emotion the characters display. Melody is exactly what you would expect a lonely preteen princess to be--tortured by her secret desires and her need to fit in, yet her seeming inability to do so. And like all kids that age, she is convinced that she is the only one who could possibly feel this way and brushes off her mother's attempts to cheer her up with edited stories of her own childhood. She creates a situation and has to deal with the repercussions, and does so very well.
Jodi Benson proves once again that she is the only woman who could play the part of Ariel. Reprising her role from so many years ago, she now plays the part of the older, wiser, more mature mermaid-turned human, and does it perfectly. In addition to dealing with Melody's preteen anxieties, Ariel has to contend with her own feelings of loneliness and helplessness, as her years as a human and the wall that separates the castle from the sea also separates her from her family. There is a very poignant scene in which Ariel wades in the water behind the wall, just to feel the water again and to remember her life before. It moves me every time.
Eric gets a lot of screen time in this one, but he doesn't speak as much and really just stands off to the side, silently offering encouragement. He doesn't act as a prince, but a father concerned with the well-being of his only daughter and a husband worried about his wife's happiness. I don't think his voice actor is the same as in the first one. Triton's either.
I've rambled on long enough. I just want everyone to watch this movie and decide for yourselves if you like it or not. But please, don't compare it to the original. Just as younger siblings hate being compared to their older brothers and sisters, and children dislike being forced to follow in the path of their parents, so too are sequels not meant to be the exact replicas of the original films. Give the Little Mermaid 2 a chance to stand on its own.
