Summary: My 4 year old loves this movie!
Comment: I am not sure why the bad reviews in this movie. I guess these people hope to entertain themselves as well. This is not a movie to entertain an adult, this movie is made for child entertainment. My daughter watches it over and over again. She completely loved the movie.

Summary: Rotten movie
Comment: I am not big purchaser of direct to DVD movies, we usually stick with theatrical releases, so this one may be decent compared to other movies of this type. But, compared to other Disney theatrical releases this one is terrible. The animation is fine, but the writing is bad and the music isn't anything special. Also, there are any number of scenes/actions in the movie that I don't want my daughter emulating.
The best part of the movie is the credits (they're animated and set to music in the Monsters Inc. style). The movie seemed promising when I read about it and pre-ordered it months ago, but it sure did fall short. As others have noted, bonus features do nothing to improve this movie purchase.

Summary: Loved it! 5 stars! Has the same feeling like the first!
Comment: I loved this movie. I loved the little mermaid when I first saw it. This movie has the exact same atomsphere as the first one. I got chills when I first saw it. It was so nice to have the orginal cast back, and some new friends and enemies. I also loved it because it was all about music, and I love music! Great film. Well done Disney! Thank you for at least getting a little better. It's refreshing to see Disney come up with something awesome. I think now Disney sucks, but that's just me. I love classic Disney, and if you want classic Disney, then get this film! It's a classic.

Summary: Lame - Disney Isn't Even Trying Anymore
Comment: The story is thin and really makes no sense. The music is just weird... songs aren't really songs at all -- more spoken than sung. And the melodies are really old mambos, generic jazz and stuff. It is just so sad, considering how wonderful the songs in the original were.
Disney is famous for killing off a parent, but they do it within two minutes of the movie. What used to be a touching moment in their animated classics, is now a cheap gimmick which disturbed my kids.
The animation quality is okay, but you can really tell they are taking shortcuts.
But most important is the storyline... I can't understand why they didn't work a little harder on a story that held a child's interest. My twin girls were so looking forward to this, and within twenty minutes they were squirming on the couch and looking for toys to play with.
Just a big disappointment. Disney should spend as much time creating the DVD as they do on marketing it.

Summary: Nightmares
Comment: Disney should have a warning label. My 3.5 yr old watched this in tears on the way to "the happiest place on earth" and after meeting Mickey, Minnie and Goofy, still had nightmares about mommy dying. Who the hell decided this was a good subject for a kids movie?
