i love the first little mermaid . i know the song and i love the character and i love the story . i can not say anything like that about the little mermaid ii represent return to the sea . it be terrible . let start with the story . the plot be a reversed copy of the first movie . same situation and except in reverse . ariel want to live on land and her daughter melody ( creative name ) want to live in the sea . ariel be trick by ursula and melody be trick by ursula sister and morgana . ursula have a sister . not sure where that come from . besides be a strange copy of the first movie and this movie plot seem tired and be uninteresting compare to the first movie . now the character represent 1. ariel what happen to her . no long the spunky and headstrong teenager we all know and love from the first movie and she have now grow up and her personality go down the drain . her singing voice wasn not a strong either and due to either jodi benson be a lot old and or the song be so terrible that her talent be waste . 2. prince eric while he do not have a lot of personality in the first movie and like all disney prince and somehow his new voice and his very few line make him even more robotic . to top it off and he just can not seem to defend himself and and ariel become the tough one of the two . 3. sebastian say goodbye to the lovable crustacean from the first movie and because a whiny and aggravate little crab just take his place . he also have no good song in this movie . you can almost forget the glory he earn from sing the incredible under the sea and kiss the girl from the first movie and and it be very sad . 4. flounder they destroy him . he be not cute anymore and his voice be terrible and and he have kid now . who the mother . 5. morgana she appear to be ursula sister out for revenge against her mother and who always pick ursula over her . so she plan to get king triton trident to become the new ruler of the sea . sound familiar . anyway and she a very cliché villain and fall short of ursula greatness a a villain . she epically fail at witchcraft and she not very tough and and not threaten at all . 6. melody ariel and eric daughter . ironic name because she and unlike ariel and can not sing . her voice be annoy and her friend ( a walrus and a penguin . really . ) be not funny or likable and and she exactly the same a ariel and in reverse and not a likable . skip this one . don not watch any disney sequel except for lion king 2. this movie butcher the classic that live in all our pleasant memory . i will look back at this movie and just laugh .
