this be the first sequel i would see ( apart from return of jafar ) and i honestly think before watch it that it would be close to the original . i be horribly disappointed . the storyline be and basically and the first script with a few extra character and the situation turn around . ariel and eric have a daughter and melody who isn not satisfy with life on land . she want to become a mermaid . however and ariel have keep her past from her daughter because she want to protect her and when melody find out she upset and angry . and she then decide to run away and and she become a mermaid . so she happy swim around and and ariel set out to find her a a mermaid . the story doesn not sound too bad write down and but the clichés and repeat of situation from the first movie be just too obvious . and add the fact that melody be and overall and extremely annoying and and the movie become almost unbearable . there also a whole load of other new character tip and dash be two of them . they aren not too bad a character in themselves just try not to think of timon or pumbaa . the song leave a lot to be desire too and they just do not have the same magical energy a the song from the original do . the animation obviously do not have a whole load of work put into it either in part it jumpy and and not much imagination be use for the character movement . another piece of advice try to forget about ariel original character while watch this movie . the beautiful and rebellious and curious teenager have all grow up into a bland and boring wife and mother and and her trademark red hair be all tie up . this be much well view if you have never see the original you will have nothing to compare it to . however and all in all and it could have be bad it not as bad a certain other sequel and such a cinderella ii . but it not in the same league a the original . but it for your collection if nothing else but if disney go on like this they will lose all their old fan .
