The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea
Grrr Disney Cinemagic started dying on me while I was watching this today but I’ve seen it way too many times already so I’m still gonna post something about it. I really don’t know whether to call this a guilty pleasure or actually seriously call it a good movie – while just about everything here that isn’t Melody is flat, cheesy, ridiculous even, I really think Melody herself ranks up there with the best of the Disney Princesses – the dreaminess, the outcast quality, the look of course, the wanting in her eyes, the song 
– she’s one of my favourites anyway, if not my absolute favourite. I love it, mostly, anyway. At least they get the absolute worst – the sickeningly perky opening number (but I just have a major problem with Prince Eric lol) – out of the way quickly, and I could listen to “For a Moment” on a loop for the rest of my life, Tara Charandoff-Strong kicks butt. Maybe that song is the only reason I love the movie, I don’t know, it’s possible – it’s a good reason I think. The Tip and Dash song is fairly catchy too. It’s definitely one of the “surprisingly good” Disney sequels to me anyway, and I’ll watch it way too many more times yet.

[...] of empty without it, and I did just watch it for the first time in a long time (I tend to watch the sequel more, lol, trust me I’m slapping my wrists as I type …). Actually, I don’t knowthe whole movie here by heart as much as I thought I would – sure there’s no surprises anymore, but it’s the music that’s engrained on me more than anything else. I had the soundtrack on cassette, probably on its first release … it was practically glued into my walkman and may have been one of the few recordings I ever actually “wore out” by listening to so much (I definitely know I cut up the liner notes to cover my dormitory wall in pics of Ariel at the height of my crush on her, lol). I have memories, too, that instantly make me blush feverishly, of walking around school singing along to it out loud, lol. [...]
