Misplaced Wildlife: There aren't any polar bears in this movie, but the map Morgana gives Melody clearly shows that the sea witch's hideout is north of Atlantica, so it must be in the Arctic. However, there are penguins living in the area; penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere of the world. Also, the hammerhead shark and barracuda shouldn't exist in polar waters. |

Then, he'll utterly own you. If you want to really piss him off, hurt his granddaughter. Then, he will utterly own you and make you pay for all eternity in a MAHOOSIVE block of ice. |

Race Against the Clock: Melody faces this dilemma. She made a deal with the devil with Morgana. While Melody was able to become a mermaid with Morgana’s magic, it would have only been temporary. This is why Morgana instructed Melody to find King Triton’s trident and give it to her before Morgana’s magic wore off and Melody would turn back into a human. |

Fantastic Racism: The humans have a low opinion of the merfolk, in contrast to the merfolk and sea life in the first movie towards humans. The three snooty kids are blatantly racist towards merfolk and sea life. They can be interpreted as getting over it in the ending. Morgana, Undertow, Cloak and Dagger seem to be a case of Hates Everyone Equally. They don't enjoy each other's company very much either. |

Chromatic Arrangement: The three snooty kids had their own, signature colors: the skinny boy (green), the fat boy (blue), and the blonde girl (orange). Alex and his two merteen friends each have different colored fins: Alex (green), the brunette girl (pink), and the Asian boy (purple). |

Safety Worst |

comment |
Safety Worst: Melody almost getting killed by Morgana and Undertow as a baby makes Ariel and Eric decide that they should hide Melody's mermaid ancestry from her completely and forbid her from swimming in the sea, even building a giant wall between the palace and the ocean. They had a right to be worried about her exploring the ocean unsupervised, but cutting it off completely just needlessly gave Melody trust issues and made her more susceptible to getting tricked by Morgana with her lack of knowledge on Atlantica. |

Villain Has a Point: Undertow can be surprisingly insightful. He tells Morgana that she cannot keep trying to blame Ursula for her own failures, and he asks Melody what kind of friends Tip and Dash are if they would abandon her at the first sign of danger. Towards the end of the film, Morgana notes that it was wrong for Ariel to cover up the truth about her heritage, since it caused Melody to make a Deal with the Devil with Morgana and ultimately doom Atlantica. |

Bullying a Dragon: The party guests who ridicule Melody as her birthday party collapses thanks to Sebastian. At best, that's no way to curry favor with royalty, especially with her parents watching. At worst, she could order them to be thrown in the castle dungeons—or worse. Luckily for them, she's nice enough not to do such a thing. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While Melody did make the mistake of letting the Obviously Evil sea witch talk her into stealing Triton's trident, it is Ariel's own decision to keep Melody's entire heritage a secret from her for her whole life that prompts her daughter to run away out of spite and in turn take Morgana's word over her mother's. When Ariel finally reveals her true mermaid self to Melody, it is the last straw for Melody, and she angrily gives Morgana the trident before realizing the severity of her mistake. If not for Ariel's shortsighted decision, everyone might've been spared a lot of trouble. |

Take a Third Option: At the end of the film, King Triton offers Melody a choice to either live with him in Atlantica as a mermaid, or stay human and live with her family. She chooses neither. Instead, she uses his trident to dissolve the castle's seawall so both humans and merfolk can live together, with her presumably getting to spend her teenage years switching between human and mermaid form. |

He even gets himself into a head-match with Undertow by calling him up a pipsqueak, refusing to either back down or run away despite Undertow's threats. |

My God, What Have I Done? |
| The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea / int_a1b141f4 |
comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Melody realizes what she's done after Morgana, holding the trident, reveals her true evil nature and takes her mother hostage and imprisons her in an ice cave. Given to the fact that she let her anger against Ariel driving her to hand over the trident to Morgana, Melody holds herself responsible for dooming her family. Ariel gets this when she realizes that Melody had run away from her without even learning about her heritage. Made even worse when Melody finally learns about the truth and confronts Ariel for lying to her before handing over the trident to Morgana, which made Ariel even more guilty than ever. She eventually apologizes to Melody for this following Morgana's defeat in the end. |

Dramatic Irony In Ariel's reprimand for Melody going into the sea despite it being forbidden for her, she states that the sea is dangerous. Melody, in anger at the comment, shouts that Ariel couldn't know that since she's never been in it. Her frustration over being left in the dark leads Melody to run away the very night her parents decided she was old enough to be told the whole story. |

Oh, Crap!: Ariel, Eric, Triton and their friends at the start when Morgana captures the newborn Melody. Ariel, when she realizes that Melody has found her locket in the ocean. Sebastian, upon realizing that Melody is going to run off into the sea. Ariel, Triton, Flounder, and Sebastian have a Mass "Oh, Crap!" moment when Melody steals Triton's trident. Ariel and Melody, when the latter realizes that she has doomed themselves and Atlantica to Morgana's wrath. Sebastian screams in shock the moment Morgana returns Undertow to his original size. Melody panics when she realizes that she is about to be transformed back into a human. Morgana when Melody stabs her tentacle with the trident, coupled with a Big "NO!" when Melody returns the trident to Triton. Then again seconds later when Triton freezes Morgana into a block of ice. |

Misplaced Vegetation: The film features a massive tropical coral reef beneath a friggin polar ice sheet.note While coral reefs aren't vegetation per se (they're mostly animals), they would still count as they feature as the dominant underwater terrain. Actual polar marine ecosystems can sometimes appear quite lush, but definitely not tropical coral reefs with colorful fish. That's a pinch from the movie's big geography mess-up. Wait...complete with ice-hating giant clams. |

Inconsistent Coloring |

comment |
Inconsistent Coloring: Ariel doesn't look the same in some scenes. The updated re-release solved this, though. In the scene where Melody and Flounder are trapped beneath Morgana's ice trap, Flounder briefly looks exactly like he did in the first movie, whereas all the other scenes show him as bigger and fatter since he's an adult now. Several background characters from the first film appear here but with the wrong colors; for example, the snails that sing in the "Under the Sea" music number, and the tuba-playing fish (the one which says "yeah") appear in the final song, but their colors are all mismatched. |

Strong Family Resemblance: Melody combines her parents' features, such as having her mother's face and hair shape, but her father's eyebrows and hair color. She and her mom also have the same nose and similar ears, as well as the same mouth and same eyes. One of Flounder's sons looks exactly like the younger Flounder. In fact, the guppy looked so much like Flounder, Ariel initially mistook him for Flounder. |

Contrived Coincidence: Ariel vows no one tell Melody about her underwater heritage; at the same time, Melody stares at the ocean and begins sneaking out of the castle to go swimming through the years, and she doesn't tell her parents about that. |

History Repeats: The movie's conflict happens when Melody's parents decide she can't know anything about the sea—just like King Triton wouldn't let Ariel go onto land. In both cases, the child finds out about it anyway, and hiding it did no good. |

Water Is Air: It appears that Tip and Dash can breathe underwater. Though they often do spend a great deal of time underwater, penguins and walruses cannot breathe in it and need to surface regularly to do so. |

Beware the Nice Ones: Triton takes on a look of apoplectic fury when Melody is put in danger, then he launches a bolt of lightning and freezes Morgana into ice. If you value your life, things you do not do include harming any of his family. Ariel, for her part, uses a goddamn sword to bring down the rigging of a ship onto Morgana to save her child. |
