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!

So I did this awhile back for Esmeralda and Megara (and even further back for Merida). So I thought I'd do it for the other two main unofficial princesses. Funny thing is, Kida, despite being a princess, probably has Mehr reasons not to be included than any other heroine. But I digress, let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of adding Jane Porter and Kidagakash to the line-up.
Reasons Why
-Kida actually is a princess.
-One could say Jane is the princess of the jungle.
-Tarzan was a relatively successful movie, that produced a successful franchise.
-Kida is somewhat...

For now I'm sticking to the usual "who came first" order, but I might mix them up later on.
Character: Top! As my Favorit childhood princess, she will always be something special.
Role Model: oben, nach oben – no middle – no oben, nach oben – no middle. The thing is, I like her in the top, because she is friendly, acts responsible and is an all around positive character. But it does become rather crowded in the top, and there are three princesses I would rank above her. 
Beauty: oben, nach oben – it’s easy to make Icons with her, because she looks good from Mehr oder less every angle. From the blue eyed princesses,...

12) Evil Queen as the Old Hag
I don't think that I have to say why she's last. She's hideous and very scary, her face is horrible and I hte her hair. The only thing I like about her is the light green color of her eyes.
11) Old Mother Gothel
I believe that she's very ugly. But I actually like her hair...
10) Ursula
I think that if she was slim and with beautiful facial features, Ursula would be absolutely gorgeous, because I really like the combination of white hair, purple skin, gray eyes and red lips. Unfortunately, she's plump, with an awful nose, weird eyes and a huge mouth....

9.Aurora
Aurora came in last in this countdown for one obvious reason- We simply didn't see her do anything brave. While Snow White did Zeigen cowardice, she also showed bravery. Aurora simply didn't do enough to Zeigen any bravery, and only showed moments of fear. I'm willing to bet had Aurora run through the woods like Snow White, she wouldn't have been able to recover so easily, nor barge into a stranger's house.
"It's not that Aurora isn't Merida - Legende der Highlands but she really doesn't get a chance to Zeigen us her personality so we can only assume off of what we know." (dweeb)
