Yup, and Benjamins are the only reason Disney even bothered to make this. Lots and LOTS of Benjamins... :P

Actually, like Cindy 3, thought it was an "apology" for LM2, since 2 came out back before they'd gotten the hang of vidquels, and if they'd had it to do all over again today, they probably wouldn't have bothered with D*p and D*sh...

(At least, it wasn't a "Vault rescue" back-catalog-promotional sequel like Fox & Hound 2, or the dumped Aristocats and Dumbo II's.)

If you're referring to the two sidekicks, it's actually Tip and Dash - I have no idea why you censored the second letter in each name. :?

Also, I edited out Whippet's quote.

Because A) as fellow sufferer, wanted to spare Whippet the relapse of trauma, and B) they are the abominations WHOSE NAMES MUST NOT BE SPOKEN! :P

I think he's talking about money, OUAD.

No Once. It's for the money. End of discussion. Moving on...

TIP and DASH were one of my favorite parts of TLMII. I actually liked the movie a lot, and I know I will like it better than TLMIII. Yes, it's like the original redeux, but at least it has semblance to the original that way. And a villain related to the first villain and what the first villain was trying to do...not the nanny tries to get to be advisor to the king! Oooooohh!

Now, I don't agree with Once, but I have to say, I thought I was just being pushy, but now I wonder if you don't agree with everyone, you can't talk? Once is allowed to say the film was made because Ariel's so popular or "such a great character"...though we know it was also for the money, but that doesn't mean there's no room for more discussion.

And I really really don't mean to get on anyone's nerves, I'm just trying to defend people's voices.

And Once...I thought you didn't care for cheapquels? Wouldn't you agree it really is only made for money? I mean...are you honestly looking forward to Ariel's music club adventure?

It's for Ariel fans.
Maybe Ursula will be after credits,but Marina is great.
Little Ariel is adorable :D.
I agree with you Dusterian,about cheapquels-This film was also made for more money but it was also made for Ariel's character (And also I can't believe that some people actually believes that what happened in Little Mermaid II was canon and that's what actually happened after The Little Mermaid).
And this movie was made for Ariel fans-It tells about her mother,why Triton hate humans so much,how Sebastian got his job,how Ariel and Flounder first met,they shows her sisters and even show Ariel as a very little girl and very cute.
(By the way-The avater was too big so it didn't worked,can you shrink it?).

I think they should make a Black Cauldron sequel. Y'know, for Taran's character. I think we can all see that happening. Y'know, for the character.
