***Review***
First off, The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning takes you to before Ariel met her prince in The Little Mermaid. In this movie you will learn why king Triton is so over protective of his daughters. The movie plot, music and scenes are spectacular, having the movie on Blu-Ray ups the quality of the film. In The Little Mermaid II: Return to The Sea we see what happens after Ariel and Eric got married. All the beloved character from The Little Mermaid are in this movie with a few additions, Ariel and Eric’s daughter Melody. The Little Mermaid II: Return to The Sea is basically a reversal of The Little Mermaid with Melody trying to find a balance between the two worlds. We love these two movies and they are a great addition to our movie collection. Below I have included a few film and bonus clips.
