@Ice-jin I have to disagree. Yes, the original is a romance fantasy while the sequel is a coming-of-age story, it does basically just repeat the same conflict of the original. A princess who suffers from her parent's overprotectiveness, wants to be a part of a different world and whose desperation is taken advantage of by a power hungry witch. And as much as I hate to admit it, the story does go downhill once Melody becomes a mermaid.

Which is sad, because I liked where the story was going in the first act. I also really like Melody as a character and I love how Ariel's motherhood has matured her and turned her from a free-spirited goofball to an elegant, respectable consort.
