Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh let's just get this over with...
Today's rewatch: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
Last time watched: 2008
How much did I like this movie as a kid?
I didn't. Like, at all. In fact, after we see how Ariel's mom died that was it for me. Okay, so let me start from the beginning; If you've read my artigos about TLM and TLM 2, you know that TLM is one of my most favorito filmes and was a huge part of my childhood so when I was 15 years old I found out that there was going to be another movie of course I was excited! I was thinking, "Yay! We'll get to see mais of Melody! We'll get to see Ariel with Eric again! We'll get a new villain and see old characters and new characters!" but once I found out this movie was a prequel, needless to say I was pretty disappointed. Unless it's a movie done right I'm not a prequel fan. We see a movie taking plase before the main story and we're supposed to be all worried for the characters and be all, "Omg the main character is dead! :'( " but it's like...how? How are we supposed to be so worried about all of that when we see all of them seguro and sound in the main story? Especially when the plot of the prequel is "Blaaaargh no music, Ariel!/But daddy we need music!" and in TLM the first time we see Atlantica we see everyone going to a show, concerto and we see characters cantar all the time! I mean, seriously! What?? And while the música ban is for a sad reason, who do you ban música for THAT long even though it was something your wife loved so much? Like, okay grieving can take a long time but to actually get angry at your own children for wanting to sing or play instruments several years later? Especially when it's clear that no one has been happy for so long? I'm sorry, rambling. Anyway, after I heard that this movie was going to be a prequel I was disappointed but I wanted to check it out anyway. So the week the movie was released I rewatched both TLM in one night and then popped the prequel in as soon as I was início alone (family tried to get me to stop watching so much desenhos animados once I became a teenager) and I remember being so...bored and annoyed. I barely remember any of the songs save for Athena's song and I still can't believe the missed opportunity to give the audience the story of what happened to Ursula and how Ariel got so interested in humans. I know in the tv show we see how Ariel learned that humans weren't all evil and how she met linguado, solha but for a lot of kids today unless they have a relative who has any episodes on tape or dvd or disney channel plays the show at a mais reasonable time, how many kids will tell you they have actually even heard of the tv series?
How much of this movie have I forgotten:
I forgot how rushed the opening was. We don't see Athena with her daughters too much except for at the beginning and in a flashback but that's it. It's kinda hard to have an emotional connection to a character who only had a few lines and then died trying to grab her música box. She stayed behind to save Attina at first why couldn't that have been the real reason instead of such a materialistic one? I know it was an anniversary present but still. On new years eve there was a bad fogo in my apartment building and you know what I grabbed when I ran out? Not a natal or birthday present, not my wedding album, I grabbed my cat. I didn't think of anything else, I just grabbed my cat from under the cama and made sure my husband was right behind me on our run out.
I forgot that marina had such a ridiculous reason for what she does in this movie. Really? She just wants Sebastian's job? That's it? At least with Morgana even though she was just trying to be "mother's favorite" she's at least mais memorable than marina del Ray. And I'm still confused about how she could have found the club so quickly when Ariel had to follow linguado, solha and marina didn't even follow anyone. She just saw the girls were gone and then just randomly found it. Also, what's with her outfit changes? Does she decorate her tail a different color, put some kind of cover over her tail, or are the writers trying to make it seem like she can just change out of her tail?
And plot hole: Even though música is forbidden in the kingdom how is marina not arrested or anything when she was cantar twice in this movie?
linguado, solha has to be the most out of character in this sequel. He was atuação way too Valente compared to the original, especially when he decided to just play música out in the open before he met Ariel. Yeah, he thought he was alone but it was still a dumb move. And when he wasn't being Valente out of nowhere he was being annoying.
I'm sorry I had a hard time taking Ariel's almost death seriously. There's evil electric eels and the thing that looks like almost kills her is just marina running into her? That was the almost death?
Movie:
While I still thought this movie was dull and frustrating and the new characters and songs weren't as memorable or good as TLM or TLM 2, the animation was much better than TLM 2 at least and we got to see mais of Ariel with her sisters which is something we didn't get to see in either of TLM movies.
Rating: 0/10
How much has my opinion changed?
It hasn't
Would I watch it again?
Hell nope
The seguinte movie will be Moana!

"Well well, isn't it a coincidence that 2 princesses and 2 princes from 2 different eras meet each other. I'm not surprise at all!" said Maleficent coolly.
"Who are you?" asks Cinderella, frightened and trying to keep her voice as calmly as ever. "I'm Maleficent, the Mistress of all Evil." replied Maleficent with pride, Aurora suspects that this isn't the Maleficent that she always knew, as she can tell from the glow onto her eyes. This is an evil Maleficent!
Aurora immediately yelled "You are not Maleficent! You're the evil Maleficent!" At this point, Maleficent declares "It's true! I'm not your Maleficent anymore and I was the one who magically transported you here!" She cracks into her evil laughter and vanishes.
At this point, Aurora bursts into tears and Cinderella, Prince Philip and Kit came to comfort her. Saying that the evil fairy will be perished.

Prince Ali, yes it is he
But not as you know him
Read my lips and come to grips with reality
Yes, meet a blast from your past
Whose lies were too good to last
Say hello to your precious Prince Ali!
So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin
Just a con, need I go on?
Take it from me
His personality flaws
Give me adequate cause
To send him packing on a one-way trip
So his prospects take a terminal dip
His assets frozen, the venue chosen
Is the ends of the earth - whoopee!
So long, ex-Prince Ali!

This is my opinion only. But I believe the reasons that Evil queen from Snow White and Lady Treamine from cinderela mistreat the titular characters is different from the in-story explanation.
Evil queen used the fact Snow was pretty as an excuse to get rid of an heir to the trono which I presumable that the queen was ruling for Snow.
Lady Treamine's daughters might be older por a few months in the animated disney movie. And back in those days older daughters were suppose to marry before younger ones.
I don't really have a reason for Edward's step-mother, Narcissa. But I assume that the Kingdom is suppose to be run mostly por a Queen?
