A prequel to The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is good family entertainment that deserves a spot in every Disney collection--even if the film isn't quite as striking as the original. It's hard to imagine the underwater world of Atlantica without music, but following the death of Ariel's mother Queen Athena, King Triton (Jim Cummings) outlaws music because of the painful memories it evokes. Ariel (Jodi Benson) and her six sisters are unhappy with their boring daily routine, unfeeling governess Marina Del Ray (Sally Field), and superficial relationship with their father; but only Ariel has the courage to confront their father with a desire for a more fulfilling life. A chance meeting with Flounder (Parker Goris) leads Ariel to the underground Catfish music club where the Caribbean jazz is hot and the starred soloist is none other the King's Chief of Staff Sebastian (Samuel Wright). Suddenly, a whole new world full of promise and excitement opens up for Ariel and her sisters, but things get ugly when Marina tells King Triton about the club and his fury erupts. Can the power of music, combined with Ariel's heartfelt pleas, convince King Triton to pardon all the underground music lovers and reconsider his ban on music? Ariel's Beginning is a wholesome story about love, family, and the power of music that's nicely animated and features a host of good music--the only things missing from the first movie are Ariel's innocent sense of wonder and the extreme catchiness of the original songs. Bonus features include two deleted scenes, four sing-along songs with on-screen lyrics; a mermaid discovery game in which viewers learn about Ariel and her six sisters; a quiz that matches viewers with the character most like themselves; an interview with director Peggy Holmes, and a look at the Broadway production of The Little Mermaid Under the Sea. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

3 out of 5 stars Noy As Good As The Original   January 4, 2009
I got this movie for my daughter for Christmas.It's not at all what I expected. This will not turn into a Disney Classic but it's worth the buy.


4 out of 5 stars Very cute   December 20, 2008
I really enjoyed learning more about Ariel's sisters, but I wish to have seen more of Ariel's mom- she was gone too fast! And the music was underdone, especially related to the first little mermaid, and even in comparison to little mermaid 2, in which there were at least a couple of songs that i still love!
All in all, though, a very nice film to watch with the kids and enjoy for yourself.



4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable movie for you and your child   November 8, 2008
I have to admit the beginning was not expected and the story line was thin, but overall it's a cute movie. My husband and I didn't have high hopes for it but my 3 year old daughter wanted to watch it. It isn't as good as the original but it was fun seeing Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder on the screen again after all these years. Now my daughter is a huge fan and talks about Ariel every day. Looks like we need to get the orginal now.


2 out of 5 stars not a typical Disney   October 27, 2008
I Love Disney movies. Usually it is because the story is good and so is the music. This story was nice, but I have to say that the music was just AWFUL!
It pretty much ruined the movie for me. I mean in one part there was this dreadful piano piece that didn't even fit.
Sally Field, as much as I love her, can't sing.
Disney could have made this movie so much better. I would suggest they try again with a different soundtrack.

Got an original, not a copy and fast shipping (even though I paid for regular shipping, I got in about 3 days).
