Our
family has always been a big fan of Disney movies and the Little Mermaid is one
of my favorites. It was fun watching the Little Mermaid 2 with my 4 year old
daughter. My daughter said she likes Melody better than Ariel, likely due to
the newness of the movie and the fact that Melody is the child of Ariel. The
movie kind of represents our family in a lot of ways. It was nice to see the
original characters from the first movie in the second movie. It was a pleasant
surprise to learn that some of the original voices of the original characters
were the same, or at least they sounded very similar.
The movie is definitely
entertaining and presenting children with valuable lessons. In the original
movie, Ariel did not listen to her father and it got her into trouble. In
the Little Mermaid 2, the tables are turned and now and as a mother she is
trying to impose rules that are in Melody's best interest; of course Melody does
not listen to her mother and invariably gets herself into trouble. It's a
lesson for both mother and child. It is a coming of age movie for Ariel as she
realizes what it means to try and protect her child and an innocent life lesson
for Melody about the consequences when you don't listen to your
parents.
Immediately following this movie, my daughter asked to watch the
original movie. This movie is an exciting addition to our Disney movie
collection and we are happy to have yet another well done movie we feel
comfortable letting the children watch on a regular basis for years to
come.
