You know how during the Poor Unfortunate Souls sequence, Ariel is lit in all these different colors? Which does she look best in?

Now I know a lot of people don't really like those direct to DVD sequels Disney used to do back in the late 90s and early 2000s. But in my opinion? Out of all of the sequels they made? This one is my favorite one and one that I can watch without any problems. Here's why. Because I like the idea of Ariel being a mother and having a child cause I could definitely see her being a mother considering how even though she's the youngest in the Triton family she still gets to mother Founder a little bit in the original Little Mermaid film like what Jodi Benson said in a video I saw on YouTube. Also I just think Ariel looks more beautiful in this than in the original. Yeah I know hate on me and call me a simp all you want to but I mean in the ending where she's wearing that gorgeous blue and white peasant dress during the "Here on the land and sea" scene? That became my favorite dress that she has ever worn throughout the franchise next to the "Kiss the girl" dress in the original movie. And her hair being completely down during that scene made it even better cause it matches her dress perfectly! I mean I kinda wish she was a mother that I had growing up considering now I have a mom who basically is schizophrenic and does drugs. I kinda think of Ariel as like a imaginary mother that I wish I had. But yeah I just wanted to express my opinion on this movie and why its my favorite sequel out of all of them.

For all of those who forgot the sisters are in order: Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana

Hey Everyone, just wanted to completely share in myself more of my Barbie, Iridessa dressing up as Ariel in her human blue kiss the girl dress ❤️ hope you'll like it!

It did good? Huh.

Does anyone else remember this forgotten Disney gem?

I first discovered it back in the early 90s thanks to a funny mistake. A friend knew how much I loved the movie, so he bought me what he thought was the soundtrack on CD. (In his defense, the title is quite misleading)

It turned out to be one of the happiest musical accidents of my life.

Not only was it the first Disney album I ever owned on CD, but I was absolutely blown away by how pristine it sounded compared to the cassettes I was used to.

I was hooked straight away. It's basically a concept album when you listen to it in order, with its own story and identity. It takes place before the movie events, so no Ursula (boo!), but the rest of the original voice actors reprise their respective roles.

Musically, it leans much more toward polished late 80s and early 90s pop than the classic Ashman and Menken sound. While it's very different from the songs from the film, it never feels like a lesser imitation. Instead, it has its own distinct identity. Even though each song was written by a different songwriting team, the album maintains a remarkably cohesive musical DNA. The production is consistently rich and polished, making it feel like a complete artistic work rather than a collection of unrelated tracks.

My favorite upbeat tracks are "H2O" and "The Sea Kingdom," while "Dreaming" is absolutely gorgeous. Jodi Benson's vocals on that song are just stunning.

I've always felt this album never got the love it deserved. I'd love to know if anyone else remembers it, or if I'm one of the few still listening all these years later.

No official release on any music streaming services afaik, but here's the album on YouTube. Take the time and listen in order if you can!

I just noticed this but Ariel is the only Disney princess to have a kid. She’s actually the only Disney princess to get married and have a kid, she was born a princess married a prince and later has a kid. Let me make this clear she’s not the only princess to get married, but she’s the only princess to have a kid as well as have a husband. Melody is also one of the least known princesses most people aren’t aware that she even exists. Ariel has three animated movies a series and a live action movie. I’m placing an image of Melody’s doll because she doesn’t have a lot of dolls.

I noticed years later I made her forehead too small lol
