I can't even understand why this is an actual movie...
What's so stupid about this film? :? it looks wonderful :D (and there's Ariel :wink:).
I think Ariel's Beginning will be my favorite sequel with Lion King 1 1\2 and Cinderella III.

I'm tempted to say...everything. ;)

Finally watched the 'sneak peek' of AB... I have mixed feelings. It's great to see Ariel in new animation, and seeing her sisters getting attention, but at the same time, really, why did they make this? The plot still sounds hoky, and I'm very dissapointed by Marina Del Ray. Not what I had in mind at all. As already mentioned, she looks like a cross between Medusa and Ursula. Boo! Still better than Morgana, though! ;)

The animation was also something I didn't care for. At times it looked really good, but other times it looked rather cheap. Also, ugh, Tritons voice! That's not his original voice!! :(

...And yet, I'm still exited, but that shouldn't be surprising. ;)

As many I have mixed feelings about this one.

Altough I am a big fan of the purple diva I fear that she won't see the attention she deserves.
BTW I am referring to Ursula not MdelRy
(or is she the same character on a special diet? still unsure :wink: )

Ultimate Disney's press release:
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/littlemer ... -0826.html
Hmm,hold on:
Plus, families will delight in meeting Ariel’s six mermaid sisters who sometimes think that their youngest sister, Ariel, is too rebellious but who ultimately love her for who she is: protective Atina, glamorous Alana, boy crazy Adella, self-confident Aquata, talented Arista and fun-loving Andina.
They worth the same thing on the sister on the Ariel and Her Sister merchandise,so those products were made to promote Ariel's Beginning?.

Yes I do - it looks very nice indeed - esp. her at the top looking at the 'Anastasia'-like musical box! Looking forward to this.

I don't know. I may see this one out of curiosity, but LM 2 was such a hideously bad movie that I can't help but be less than enthusiastic.

It is extremely unnecessary. I look forward to reviewing it! ;)
