Ariel's Beginning

It was great. My granddaughter loves it. Price good and shipping very quick.

Poor Ariel

I enjoyed the DVD and seeing Ariel and her sisters. You see more of Ariel and her sisters and you also see them living a normal life geting up out of their beds and going walking with their father. We see Ariel's mother and she is the spiting image of Ariel but gets crushed by a ship and King Triton turns into an underwater Scrooge banning music from the kingdom. What is sad though is King Triton making his daughters do chores and the worst one of all is cleaning Barnicles which poor Ariel has been made do because she tickles her sister with seeweed. She also meets her fish friend Flounder.

I give the DVD 5 stars!

Excellent!

This film is definitely not a dud as compared to Cinderella II. This is a great film. Could Disney have stopped at just The Little Mermaid, yes. But this film answers some unanswered questions that were not addressed in the first firm. Overall, it is a great film!

Ariel, the unique little mermaid

Many times during the original "Little Mermaid", my 3 year old daughter asked, "Where is Ariel's mom? What happenened to her--did she die?" This movie answers those questions. One reviewer said the accidental death of Ariel's mom was not for kids. I guess that means The Lion King, Bambi, and Snow White where intended and plotted murder transpires, aren't for kids either then!

My now 4 year old is satisfied that she understands the story better and how Flounder became her best friend as well. She's watched it 3 x times in two days since we got it, so I call it a kiddie hit.
Also the movie features the obedient but vainly shallow other 6 sisters; one can understand how curious and intelligent Ariel, the last daughter and more resembling her mother than the other children, just doesn't really fit in to their sorority. They tell her she "just doesn't know when to stop". It's no wonder she sought a better life on land.

The only out of place character is Benjamin (what is he a manatee?) the sidekick to Marina, the Ursula-lookalike governess to the 7 mermaid princesses. Benjamin tries to be the voice of conscience and reason to the power hungry governess but just ends up looking like a sea-oaf.
