The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea (VHS/DVD)

After a lot of advertising since January 7, 2000, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea was released directly on VHS and DVD on September 19, 2000. It remained in stores until January 31, 2003.

Synopsis

Disney's amazing undersea classic lives on in an all-new story bursting with the same captivating musical style, unforgettably colorful characters and brilliant animation that made the original film an Academy Award-winning favorite.

After rejoicing over the birth of their daughter Melody, Ariel and Eric must face a new threat from Ursula's revengeful sibling Morgana -- a threat that forces them to hide Melody's true mermaid heritage. Melody, a young princess curious about her roots, ultimately ventures into the sea against her parents' wishes. There she meets new friends Tip and Dash, and in her dream to be a mermaid, becomes a pawn in Morgana's plot to gain control of the Seven Seas. Ariel must reunite with her childhood friends, Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle, to rescue her daughter and restore harmony to her family.

An all-star cast returns, including Jodi Benson (Ariel) and Samuel E. Wright (Sebastian), for a remarkable adventure teeming with surprises and four phenomenal new songs.
