Daughter is 2 years old and going through her Disney "PRINCESS" stage! We have seen the original "Little Mermaid" several hundred times and purchased the "LITTLE MERMAID 2" to return some of Mommies sanity!!! It WORKED!! This movie has the same characters you loved from the first movie; Ariel, Aric, King Triton, Sebastian and adds a few new ones for your little one to love! The story focuses around MELODY, Ariel and Aric's daughter and her adventure in the ocean. She has legs and decides she would like to be a mermaid!!! She runs in to a relative of Ursula and needs to be saved by Ariel!! This movie is an EXCELLENT replacement when you get tired of watching the original LITTLE MERMAID!! LOVE IT!!!!
We bought The Little Mermaid 3: A New Beginning. We had never seen it. Didn't realize Ariel's mom got crushed by a pirate ship in the beginning of the movie. My daughter, 3, cried her eyes out for the rest of the movie. We have to skip that part now. This movie takes place after Ariel and Prince Eric get married. Ariel has a 12 year old daughter named Melody. Ursula's sister, Morgana, is trying to capture Melody to get revenge on Ariel and her father, King Trident. Cute movie. A little slow in parts but not bad. My daughter liked this one much better.
My children actually seem to prefer Little Mermaid II over the original. Flounder's voice is noticeably different, but he is an adult now, so it is easily explained. Ariel's daughter Melody is lovely and Organa, Ursula's sister makes a charming villian. The new characters introduced in this movie are funny and the scary parts in this movie don't seem as scary as the original. There are a lot of similarities though. In the original Ursula grew very fat and large. In this one, Organa seems to get taller instead of fatter. This is a great Disney sequel and worth purchasing. Just watch out for pirated copies!
In "The Little Mermaid", Ariel is a mermaid wanting to become human, who does with the "help" of a sea witch. Just reverse the story for "The Little Mermaid 2": Ariel's daughter Melody becomes a mermaid via a sea witch. While it is interesting to see what has happened to Ariel and others after the end of the first movie, I don't see what this movie really adds to "The Little Mermaid" world other than we see she has a daughter. There are a few more "grown up" moments that kids might not get that are really touching, such as Ariel's longing for the water and joy when she becomes a mermaid again for a short time, and when Ariel mistakes Flounder's child for him, showing how fast time can go when we lose touch with friends. The songs were enjoyable and the animation was good for a direct to video, but this is pretty much standard sequel fare.Read full review
My girls are 5 and 2 1/2. They had the VHS of this movie and really love it. The music is really good for them. People don't seem to like it the way they like the first movie and I don't know why. They know all the words the the movie and the songs! I bought the DVD so they could watch it on our TV in the den. I recommend this movie if you kids like music and The Little Mermaid. The only thing I have to say is if you are looking for an original Disney DVD ask first. There are alot of imports out there. Make sure it has the DVD sticker seal and the UPC number if you care, otherwise it still plays the same.
Ordered little mermaid 2 and got the first one pretty upset when I got it but popped the first one in and my daughter loved it so it worked out!!!

It is alright, but my daughter loves it because she loves Ariel. It does show Ariel and Eric and the rest of the group as the original movie, which is good. Ursula is of course not included. A-lot of close up's which was kind of annoying that I could not see a certain person talking at any given time (the face was not in the picture quiet a bit on various characters) because the picture was focused on someone else. Other wise it was a great story line!
My sister use to have this film when she was younger, but she gave it away when she got older. Although, I really missed it and now I have a replacement copy.
