Little Mermaid - Ariel's Beginning
 

Product Description

 
The story of Disney's LITTLE MERMAID continues in ARIEL'S BEGINNING, a lushly drawn prequel to the 1989 animated classic. Long before Princess Ariel (Jodi Benson) found her true love on land, the young mermaid lived many musical adventures in her amazing underwater home, amid her many performing sisters and royal parents. When lovely-voiced Queen Athena (Lorelei Hill Butters) is abducted by pirates, however, King Triton (Jim Cummings), outlaws all singing, leaving his youngest daughter bereft of the two things she loves the most: her mother and her music. Not wishing to displease her father, but incapable of giving up her true passion, Ariel attends secret concerts, carefully eluding the wicked and watchful Marina Del Rey (voiced by Academy Award winner Sally Field.) Together with her friends Sebastian (Samuel E. Wright) and Flounder (Parker Goris), the young mermaid must find a way to convince her father to reverse his ban, before the heart and soul of the kingdom wither forever.

Review: One of the first movies that completely entranced me was The Little Mermaid, which came out when I was in second grade. I was so enthralled, I even wrote a sequel to it, complete with songs. It's probably still floating around the house somewhere;...

Plot

I thought this movie was a huge improvement over other Disney straight-to-dvd movies. Is it as good as the original? Absolutely not. However, it is a huge improvement over the sequel that was released a few years ago, called...
