This is not one of Disney's best sequels. If you want a good sequel for once, try Simba's Pride. But this, on the other hand, was a flop. It was entertaining for a six-year-old, but the entire thing is The Little Mermaid all over again. Ariel and Eric are married and live on land with a great wall blocking the sea. Their daughter was born on a ship in the sea before the wall was built, and she was given a gift with her name on it, but it was lost to the sea. Now she's twelve and drawn to the sea, and one day she finds the gift with her name and questions her mother. It turns out Ursula has a sister, and, like Ursula, wants King Triton's trident. Ariel seems much more grown up and too mother-like, which I don't enjoy. It turns out the voice of Ursula is the voice of Ursula's sister.The plot is very similar to the first movie, and it has some pretty weird stuff in it. I recommend you skip it unless your daughter wants a bit more of The Little Mermaid, anything more. This is "anything." It's not worth being called "something."

Unfortunately, there is very little to like in this sequel.Characters? They are one-dimensional and they repeat the same jokes as in the first movie (yes, I am looking especially at you Louis vs. Sebastian!).Ariel and Eric are just placeholders, as is Triton and Grimsby.Only Melody gets her proper story, confronting Morgana and Undertow as her aide, but that does not save the day.And I do not even mention all the extraneous animal actors in the later part of the movie - atrocious and completely unnecessary! Plot? The same premise as in the first movie with a few tweaks here and there. Passable, but forgettable. The first movie was entertaining and I watch it from time to time with my young daughters, but this? No thank you.Art Direction? It's Disney, so there is quality control in place in the process, but it is evident this did not get similar treatment to the first movie.Script? Again, passable, but with the caveat of the aforementioned repeated jokes, some awkward dialogs and unnecessary animals.All in all - a really bad sequel, worth watching once at most and then reverting to the original, which is miles ahead.

It's been many years since Ariel left the depths of the ocean and married her Prince Charming; but now their journey continues with the birth of their daughter, Melody. Completely isolated from her family, in order to protect Melody from Ursula the Sea Witch's sister Morgana, Ariel now longs to pull down the castle walls and return to the twinkling blue. By the time Melody has turned twelve, she begins to suspect Ariel is hiding something, and begins her own quest for answers. Making friends along the way and finding out her family's long awaited secret; but at a price.It's a sweet movie, I love the mother/daughter element because it makes it relatable to the average viewer, and I did understand it from both perspectives. Very good songs, interesting character progression, awesome movie for your own little water babies!

I'm not saying that this is a very bad movie, but it's closely to being one. This movie is a much of a remake for the original than being a sequel and it's true that remaking is not always a curse but apparently this sequel is semi to be a curse. I found the events of this movie to be semi interesting but I didn't find any event not even remotely interesting for real; this movie had my interests in it's events killed by just every second when first I watched it and I was about to give up but hey why should I be so harsh? let's handle the events and see what's the end with the story. All I'm saying is that this movie needs to improve itself over 600,000 time to at least be as good as the original. You may say I'm totally overreacting but that's how I see it. My preschool brother and 2nd grader sister at the time didn't like this movie at all. Both of them actually borrowed this movie for movie time at school and guess what, the both reported us of how everybody were bored from the events and their teachers eventually ended up replacing another movie instead of this just when it wasn't even close to the middle. If you want to watch this movie just go to youtube or download it but my advice to you: never pay a penny over this for even rent cause you might cry from believing that you've waisted your money over this.
