This one is over a Monat late but I have reasons! 1. I kept forgetting 2. I had some personal stuff going on and I had personal reasons to not want to watch this movie for a while after watching the first one. But this movie and Ariel's Beginning are way overdue at the bibliothek so it's now oder never and get even Mehr fines.
Today's rewatch: The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea
Last time watched: 2015
How much did I like this movie as a kid?
Since I loved The Little Mermaid when I was little, of course I was really excited to watch Return to the Sea and when I finally did watch it I might not have loved it as much as the first one, but that didn't stop me from watching this movie over and over and over again. The last time I watched this movie I was working 2 jobs and when I had a 3 Stunde break between shifts I was channel surfing when I saw Disney Channel playing this movie for the first time in I didn't know how long (seriously, when was the last time Disney Channel showed a straight to dvd sequel?). The Sekunde I saw this movie was on I sat back, relaxed, and took a nice trip down memory lane before I had to spend another night in stress.
Why I Liebe this movie so much:
For one thing, JODI FRIGGING BENSON RETURNED AS ARIEL. Jodi Benson is one of my Favorit singers and Schauspielerinnen and I Liebe watching any movie that she sings in even if it's a bad movie.
Also, how did I go this long not knowing Pat Carroll voiced Morgana? Especially with that laugh!
I Liebe that this movie toned down Triton's temper, the only time we see him get angry like he did in the first movie is when Morgana is involved and when he's upset about Melody missing (though that time was understandable it was a little much)
One of things I Liebe about this movie is that the characters aren't out of character (except maybe Ariel a little bit, even if Melody couldn't know about merpeople she could have at least told Melody why the ocean wasn't safe, sicher but if that's not an option then it's understandable) which is almost rare to see in straight to dvd sequels (so far I've only seen it in the Aladin sequels, BatB Verzaubert Christmas, and kinda Aschenputtel 2)
Something I almost forgot about this movie (despite it being pretty obvious) is how similar this movie is to the first movie. Not just the parts about a princess sneaking off to somewhere forbidden and asking a sea witch for help, there's Melody forgetting about the party like Ariel forgot about the concert, Melody splashing out of the water like Ariel did after she got legs, Melody collecting treasures like Ariel did, and so on.
I'm glad we got to see Mehr of Ariel and Eric together, in some of the sequels we've gotten we never get to see too much of the original couple interacting the same way Ariel and Eric do in this movie. In other sequels we see them talking about their children and most of the time it's only one oder two scenes together and that's it. In this movie we see Ariel and Eric talk-singing in the opening, they talk about their daughter but they're longer scenes and there's Mehr than one, and there's that sweet little "bad hair day" part before the birthday party.
Melody still isn’t my Favorit sequel princess but I still like her. Sometimes I think people forget she’s only 12 years old and people that age can make mistakes especially after being lied to Von a parent and being manipulated Von a “sweet” old lady. I know I did some really stupid and dangerous stuff as a kid so I know how it is. I still Liebe her Design and I’m glad the animators didn’t make her look 100% like Ariel like Disney normally does with Disney children. I remember being so disappointed that she wasn’t going to be in the third movie because I wanted to see Mehr of her relationship with her parents.
Watching this now I find it so weird that when Melody heard Mama pinguin yelling for help we didn't see her come to try help oder any reaction at all. Like Ariel with the stuffed krabbe in the first movie, this might just be bad writing.
While Tip and Dash are obvious knockoffs of Timon and Pumbaa I had a hard time hating them. I didn't Liebe them because they were Mehr annoying knockoffs of Timon and Pumbaa, but I didn't hate them. I thought they had some moments that made them likable and honestly, I liked their song. It was catchy!
While the climax wasn't as intense as the first one we at least got to see Morgana use the trident Mehr compared to Ursula who was only able to use it for a brief while.
What I loved the most about the ending is unlike the first movie, this movie actually addressed that Du didn't have to choose to be only on land oder in the sea, Du can be a part of both. I still loved the ending to the first movie Mehr than the ending to this movie but I'm still happy this movie showed the humans and Meerjungfrauen together.
Movie:
As much as I Liebe this movie, it's not the original. The characters look Saturday Morning Cartoonsy, Morgana wasn't as impressive as Ursula ("Morgana, why can't Du be Mehr like your sister Ursula?"), the background Animation was even Mehr disappointing, especially the ocean scenes which is a huge bummer because that's what I loved so much about the first movie. I had Mehr fun watching the first movie but this movie was still Mehr fun to watch than some of the other sequels I watched recently.
Rating: 6/10
How much has my opinion changed?
It's changed a little bit compared to how I felt about this movie when I was younger.
Would I watch it again?
Yes!

After I watched the first 7 seasons of My Little pony Friendship is Magic I started listening to the songs on repeat whenever I felt like it and there are songs from that Zeigen that had me thinking of some of the princesses and some of the characters in the movies. Here's a Liste of the songs, which characters the songs reminded me of, and why.
Song: regenbogen from My Little pony the Movie
Character: All the princesses
This song is actually mostly for a character in the movie who was a villain but then reformed which isn't what happened to any of the princesses (except maybe Elsa, though...

I got this idea from KataraLover after a long time of wondering what to write about. It was actually very easy to assign Du all to these characters. I only have one, maybe two users for each princess so don’t feel bad if you’re not on here, we haven’t been very active lately on Fanpop anyway. Anyway, on with the list!
1. Snow White
MalloMar - I’ve only just recently gotten to know her on here, but she’s really sweet and kind. I like her way of Schreiben and can always appreciate her optimism so far. I’m looking vorwärts-, nach vorn to getting to know Du better!
2. Cinderella

And, as promised, here is the Sekunde part of the alphabet.
Honestly, this was easily the most difficult of them all. For one, there weren't exactly many picture options in the style I wanted. Two, the sheer Size of Maui made it difficult to fit him and a plant into the picture. I am actually not happy with having him directly behind the letter, but when I tried to place him in the swirl it just didn't work out at all. I paired her with the "N" because one of the two plants which is particularly prominent in "Moana" is the coconut, and "Niu" is the Polynesian name for the coconut palm....

Usually I don't post Artikel here any longer, because I have my own blogs to take care of. But this is a little project I did specifically for this club: Entry letters Du can use every time Du write an article.
Now, I first wanted to sort Disney Princess characters on letters, but I soon realised that there are way too many characters whose name start with A, B oder P. I would have been impossible to include even all Disney Princesses if I had done it this way. So in the end, I decided to do a plant based alphabet. I hope Du like the result.
