i suppose it be for temple matthew who write basically a remake even though there be few change which just make it bad . spoiler represent it be much similar to the original . melody and ariel new daughter be threaten by ursula sister and morgana . morgana escape and but keep her promise to take melody away from them . do ursula have a sister . and she be not that great a villain a ursula be . this be where there be similarity . medoly be keep from the sea until morgana be capture and but she doesn not know a thing about it and because it all happen when she be a baby . a wall surround the palace to keep her in and morgana out . she go under the wall day to day to have a swim and talk with sebastian and who be not a funny or fun a in the original . she find a seashell with her name on it and run away from home and to look for answer and find morgana . here be a similarity while morgana trick melody and make her happy by turn here into a mermaid . meanwhile and eric and melody and king triton look for her . to stay a mermaid she need to steal the trident from triton . so melody do and because she do not know king triton be her father . she make friend with a penguin and a walrus and here be where it be awful . the penguin who live with them in an icy ocean and hate them because they be coward . so they try to prove they be hero and fail . that do not suit the little mermaid . and the dialogue during those conversation between the penguin and those two character be ear bleed . you know why . because the first have a great story . this one be not and be not magical . it be just an example of how bad many sequel be . melody find them and they help to take her to atlantica to prove themselves . when they take the trident and ariel find melody with morgana . melody be angry at her mother for keep her from the sea so she give the trident to morgana and then she show her true colour once she grab it . poor ariel and melody be in her custody . the penguin and the walrus begin to prove themselves when they fight morgana shark friend . sorry i do not mention him early . they finally prove themselves . eric and king triton and his soldier arrive but be force to bow down before morgana by the power of the trident . melody take it and throw it to triton and he ice morgana ( literally ) . then ariel apologises to melody and think it be all her fault . it be not . ariel do the right thing to protect melody and but they never say so . triton offer melody to live in sea or land . she in fact have a good idea . she use the trident to vaporize the wall so human and m folk can be together . then everyone sings an awful song . the end . whoever have see it and like this obviously have not see the original . i do not dislike this because i be a teenager . i like it when i be very very little . then a i grow old i begin to see what be bad about this film . young and young kid will enjoy it and but it be likely that when they be in primary school and they will forget about it . normally i would think i over judge a film and it be well than i remember when i watch it again and but not this one . it be even bad . story be no exception . if you think and by read this that the story be good and read more of this comment and you will know the other bad point represent well and you know the story now . i be sorry for spoil it for you and but i have to point out some bad part of it . one of the bad thing be the animation . colour be awful . the original have beautiful colour . watch this almost make me want to go blind . even the illustration and landscape design be not good . the original have beautiful and magical colouring and beautiful underwater landscape design and for land as well and make it a joy to watch . the music be unbearable . compare to the first and the music here be crap . song be not that well compose and tara strong ( i think that be her name ) who do melody can not sing . she at time either sing too high or do not keep track for the melody in the song . so much for have melody a a name . and the music be not at all beautiful or move . little mermaid 1 win an oscar for it and it truly deserve it . this one deserve a razzie award for bad musical score in a sequel if it would exist . i do not like the voice . several people who play character from the first and do the same one in this . jodi benson be a great singer and but now that she be old and no offence to her and her voice be too deep and not so beautiful anymore . and i be really disappointed in her and others who be in the first for be a part of this . if i be choose for this film and just by read the script and i can tell it would be a bad film . the character be different now . ariel be more wiser now and but annoy . they overdo her character and make her too mature . in sequel you be not mean to change the character unless it be for a special reason . she be sixteen in the first . there be little chance she change . that be the stage when you become the person you be go to be for the rest of your life . screenwriter should think of that . they should think of the character . well and i suppose that be it for me . i hope you find my comment useful and because i be sure a lot of you will agree with my point of view .
