VHS Movie Reviews of The Little Mermaid II - Return to the Sea (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS]
Movie Review: good
Summary: 5 Stars
i bought this video for my granddaughter who lives out of state who loves itMovie Review: Great Movie With a Lovable and Fun Protagonist
Summary: 4 Stars
I've loved Disney forever and I loved this sequel. The story is predictable: Morgana, Ursula's younger sister, uses Melody's desire to be a mermaid against her. Yeah, been there done that, but the animation is stunning and I love Melody's personality. She is a fun, if not gullible little thing, that the viewer will love. Ariel plays the role of the overprotective mother in this one, acting as her father Triton did in the first one, she doesn't want Melody to learn about her past in the sea. It was interesting to see the former fun-loving mermaid become a stickler for rules and I liked that because it showed Ariel's growth over time. The plot is predictable, yes, but the animation is beautiful and the mother/daughter sequences are great to see. Eric is his usual self, as stated above, where he plays the stagnant "token" boyfriend figure, but he maintains a fatherly influence over Melody. Great film, I'd say!

Cute movie. Give 4 stars only cause its not as good as the first one but it is still a great movie!Movie Review: Number two not as good!
Summary: 2 Stars
My 2 year old absolutely loves "The Little Mermaid" and she watches it almost every day. I ordered this movie in hopes to switch things up a bit but she was not interested at all. Even though many of the characters had the same voices they did not sound the same. The movie plot was somewhat boring and the music was not nearly as good. I heard from many people that this was a good sequel but I would not agree.
Summary of The Little Mermaid II - Return to the Sea (Walt Disney Pictures Presents) [VHS]
Disney's amazing undersea classic lives on in an all-new story bursting with the same captivating musical style, unforgettably colorful characters, and brilliant animation that made the original film an Academy Award(R)-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 be 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 and four phenomenal new songs.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
