A Painful Melody of a Bad Sequel | The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea Review

Even for a moment, returning to the sea turned out to be a mistake for those poor unfortunate souls

Yeah, this sequel sucked. I mean, sure, Ariel’s Beginning wasn’t anything special either, but I’ll give it some credit that it at least tried to be it’s own thing, and not copy the original like this one did.

I really do not like this movie at all, while I wouldn’t go as far and say it’s one of the worst direct to DVD Disney sequels as much as Cinderella 2 or Belle's Magical World, it is still a lazily put together film that just flat out rehashes the original film and also just a watered down version of what we got before. (No pun intended) While I do get there are people are people who do like this film, and if they do that’s fine, and who like Melody as a character, honestly I actually do think the reason a lot of people like her as a character is mostly because she is actually voiced by Tara Strong. Although I will give this film credit is that it at least gave us the classic line “URSULA'S CRAZY SISTER" seriously I always burst out laughing when Sebastian says that line. So it looks like the next classic review is going to be Ratatouille, easy one of Pixar's best films they’ve done and one of the best films created by the legendary Brad Bird.

Ratatouille next. Never really watched much of Return to the Sea. The fact you weren’t really kind to Ariel’s Beginning, wasn’t surprised this wasn’t any better.

I knew that The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea would get a Seal of Garbage no matter what since this sequel is nothing but a rehash of the original film whatsoever. I only seen it like a few times from what I remember as a kid although I seen the trailer many times upon watching old Disney films on DVD that either released on home media in the early 2000s. Each time I watched it, I find it very forgettable since this one is nowhere near the levels of the original film. I’ll agree that Morgana, aka “Ursula’s crazy sister”, is one of the better parts of the movie since Pat Carroll seems like she having a blast with this role even if her character is basically Ursula all over again. By the way, the whole joke of “Ursula’s crazy sister” really made me laugh since that dialogue is not dumb, but very laughably bad at the same so thanks for bring that joke in. I also like that it had Tara Strong voicing Melody in this considering that she was a rising actress voice actress at the time thanks to her success in early shows like Powerpuff Girls for example. In fact I have no idea she was the voice of Melody until years later so good for her I guess. Overall, I feel like this sequel is just as bad as the prequel film so neither of them deserves a recommendation to people anytime soon since both of them are forgettable at best. Can’t wait for the Ratatouille review next month because it is one of my favorite Pixar films and I grew up with it as a kid and I already post my list on Instagram of my top ranking Pixar films where I placed it as number 9 ahead of Soul and behind Finding Nemo. I know this will get a Seal of Approval for sure so I can’t wait for that one to come out!

If there is one thing that this film did get right is that I think Tara Strong did a very good job as Melody with the material she was given. This really was around the time when she really was starting to become a rising voice actress in the field of animation especially since this came out around the time when she was voicing Bubbles in The Powerpuff Girls and a few years before she voiced Raven in Teen Titans, and a year before she voiced Timmy Turner in The Fairly Odd Parents. I also did not know Tara Strong was the voice of Melody the first time I saw this. I think the main reason why I discovered it is because of how Tara Strong has become such a big voice actress over the years and you would have at least one roll you would remember her as, rather it be Bubbles, Timmy Turner, Raven, Ben 10, Twilight Sparkle and so much more. Heck even nowadays Tara Strong is still getting big voice acting rolls considering Marvel Studios actually brought her in to be the voice of Miss. Minutes in Loki.

Morgana: "Even longer if you'd like..." Nogla: "How do I make it longer?" John Oliver: "About YAY big!!" #UltimateLOL

Wow you put Finding Nemo low on your list? It’s my favorite Pixar film. So it’d rank higher on my list of Pixar films at #2. And so would WALL-E. as well at #3. I love that one too. Then again, what can I say, I’m a fan of Andrew Stanton. 😁

Hunter O'Laughlin

You got to give credit to the late Samuel E. Wright for doing the best with the material he was given. Even with cringey lines like “URSUALA’S CRAZY SISTER!”, he manages to find a way to make it ironically hilarious. You can tell he still did put effort into the performance to try to still maintain the charm and likability he had in the original. He certainly was such a trooper. May he Rest In Peace.

Weirdly I recall a lot of attempted sequels to be similar plot wise to this. Like there was going to be a dtv sequel to Beauty and the Beast where Gaston has a brother... creative I know.

Kenneth Stoddard

To be fair, ranking Pixar films were not easy to rank and Finding Nemo is one of the my favorite on the top ten list, but it a nine out of ten just films that barely close to perfect in league like WALL-E, Up, and the first two Toy Story films. It still manages to make it on my list due to having nostalgia back when I was a kid.

Hunter O'Laughlin

Same. For me Finding Nemo is a 10/10 movie so it ranks much higher on my list.
