I read all the reviews and i think it's a pitty to make a negativ comment on this movie. It's wonderful. I really enjoyed it and isolated myself from the real world.
the movie is made very good. As always, they created the most enjoying music, the way it suits Ariel!
I would really recommend this movie!!!
Enjoy the world under the sea, one more time!!!
DVD Review: Good movie, not the first one
Summary: 3 Stars
As far as Disney movies go, this one is good, not great. Anyone purchasing this movie with the intent that it will be as good as the original Little Mermaid movie will be disappointed. It's a cute movie, but it is NOT the first one. Buy it if you want to continue collection and have a child or fan of the Little Mermaid, just don't put too much expectation in it. I have yet to see an animated sequel as good or close to the first one and this is no exception. Despite all that, my daughter enjoyed it and I am glad to have it in our collection.DVD Review: New Beginning Not Bad
Summary: 5 Stars
It won't play in my home DVD player for some reason but I can watch it on my computer and I liked it a lot. The music is better than the 2nd movies and we finally learn about Ariel's mom. Originaly it was also supposed to tell us about Ursula's banishment but was scrapped last minute. The plot was a bit simplistic but the characters made it fun to watch and the artstyle was better than the last one.
Description of The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Beginning
Every story has a beginning but only one begins under the sea now for the first time ever discover the story you never knew in The Little Mermaid: Ariel s Beginning an all-new motion picture only on Disney DVD. Long ago in a kingdom where music is outlawed King Triton s youngest daughter Ariel discovers her love for music in a secret underground music club. Torn with the choice of whether to hide her passion or share it with her father and risk losing everything Ariel sets off on a daring adventure to restore music to Atlantica.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC:?786936689334 Manufacturer No:?04917900A prequel to The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is good family entertainment that deserves a spot in every Disney collection--even if the film isn't quite as striking as the original. It's hard to imagine the underwater world of Atlantica without music, but following the death of Ariel's mother Queen Athena, King Triton (Jim Cummings) outlaws music because of the painful memories it evokes. Ariel (Jodi Benson) and her six sisters are unhappy with their boring daily routine, unfeeling governess Marina Del Ray (Sally Field), and superficial relationship with their father; but only Ariel has the courage to confront their father with a desire for a more fulfilling life. A chance meeting with Flounder (Parker Goris) leads Ariel to the underground Catfish music club where the Caribbean jazz is hot and the starred soloist is none other the King's Chief of Staff Sebastian (Samuel Wright). Suddenly, a whole new world full of promise and excitement opens up for Ariel and her sisters, but things get ugly when Marina tells King Triton about the club and his fury erupts. Can the power of music, combined with Ariel's heartfelt pleas, convince King Triton to pardon all the underground music lovers and reconsider his ban on music? Ariel's Beginning is a wholesome story about love, family, and the power of music that's nicely animated and features a host of good music--the only things missing from the first movie are Ariel's innocent sense of wonder and the extreme catchiness of the original songs. Bonus features include two deleted scenes, four sing-along songs with on-screen lyrics; a mermaid discovery game in which viewers learn about Ariel and her six sisters; a quiz that matches viewers with the character most like themselves; an interview with director Peggy Holmes, and a look at the Broadway production of The Little Mermaid Under the Sea.
