The movie

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea is a 2000 Disney animated feature film, a direct-to-video sequel to the 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid. In this movie, Jodi Benson reprises her role as Ariel, the "former" Little Mermaid. Like most Disney DVD releases, the title was discontinued several years after its release.

Plot summary

The Little Mermaid II begins some time after the events of the first film, in which the mermaid Ariel, Triton's seventh daughter, marries Prince Eric. A celebration is being held for Ariel and Eric's newborn daughter Melody (named for Ariel's love of singing) on a ship at sea, so that both humans and merpeople can attend. Ariel's father King Triton, presents baby Melody with a magic locket ("Down to the Sea"). However, the party is interrupted by the cecaelia sea witch Morgana, the sister of the deceased Ursula, who plans to gain control of Atlantica by stealing Triton's Trident, As Ariel knocks Morgana back into the sea, the sea witch swears she will avenge her sister's death.

Ariel decides to withhold all knowledge of the seaworld from Melody. She gives the locket back to Triton - who tosses it into the depths of the ocean - and has a wall built between the castle and the beach. Melody grows up in a controlled environment, wholly ignorant of her mother's nautical origins. But as Melody grows older she develops a liking for the ocean, and sneaks under the wall to swim, finding her locket. When she sees her name engraved on it, before she demands information from her mother, Melody disobeys Ariel. Fearing Morgana, Ariel turns the issue into one of disobedience and scolds her for going to the sea. In a similar fashion to Ariel's own actions from the first movie, Melody steals a small boat and runs away. She meets Morgana, who reveals Melody's background is marine, and uses her magic to make Melody a mermaid. Melody explores her newfound abilities as a mermaid, and has a strong feeling that she was meant to be part of the sea.

Sebastian alerts Melody's parents of their daughter's departure and they prepare search parties with the help of Triton. Eric convinces Triton to reverse Ariel's human transformation so that she can help in the search, and as a mermaid she swims away. Melody comes back to Morgana to thank her and is told she is only temporarily a mermaid - unless Melody can bring her a magic trident to make the spell permanent. Morgana indicates that the trident was stolen from her by an evil merman, and shows Melody an image of Triton. Melody decides to get the trident, and during her search meets Tip, a penguin, and Dash, a walrus, who join her.

While Melody's parents and grandfather search for her, Melody, Tip, and Dash sneak into the palace and steal the trident. The trident is discovered missing shortly thereafter, and it is realized that only someone of royal blood could have stolen it, as the trident could only be removed by either Triton or one of his descendants.

Ariel trails Morgana's pet rays and finds her daughter, where she pleads for Melody not to listen to Morgana. She admitted to Melody that she lied about her mermaid heritage to protect her from Morgana. Melody angrily refuses to listen, and gives the trident to Morgana - who traps Ariel in her tentacles and kidnaps her. She swims to the surface with a struggling Ariel in her tentacles, proclaiming herself queen.

Triton and Eric's armies arrive as Morgana conjures an ice palace for herself. Sebastian and King Triton confront Morgana and warns her to release Ariel. Next, Ariel rescues Eric from being drowned in the sea by Morgana's two pets, Cloak and Dagger. Below, after the sun goes down, Melody turns back into a human and begins to drown. However, Tip and Dash trick Morgana's shark Undertow into smashing the ice containing Melody, then pull her to the surface.

Using Triton's trident, Morgana forces all of the merpeople, Ariel, Flounder, Sebastian, Triton, Dash, and Tip to bow down to her. Melody (human and thus unaffected by the spell) climbs the ice palace by confronting Morgana and snatches the trident off of her, throwing it to an enraged Triton. He encases Morgana in a block of ice, which sinks underwater, along with a picture of Ursula.

Melody is reunited with her family, and Triton offers his granddaughter the option of becoming a mermaid permanently. Instead, she asks him to use the trident to disintegrate the wall separating her home from the sea. With Morgana defeated and Melody together with her family, everybody is happy. A party is held and the humans make friends with the merpeople once again (Here On The Land And Sea).

What is a fanlist

A fanlisting is, quite simply, a listing of fans. Fanlistings are similar to any other group or club you might join. You can join a fanlisting to 'show your love of something.' Most fanlistings have small codes, buttons, or plaques available which you can display on your own website if you'd like. Our site definition of a fanlisting is: "A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are); they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans." [From thefanlisrings.org]
