The original is one of my top animations and I enjoyed some episodes of the TV series, so I was eager to see this one. For once I didn't feel the need to rent it first. (Sequels to Lion King, Aladdin, Pocahontas etc were disappointing.)
The animation quality was less than I hoped, but the characters and plot were engaging. Ariel's daughter, Melody, was sympathetic and I liked her companions, Tip and Dash (An amusing penguin & walrus combination)The villain is Ursula's skinny sister, Morganna, who has more depth than the former. Her shrunken hench-shark gets some of the funnier lines. It's good to see Flounder and Sebastian again too, as well as Ariel. The songs are dreadful though.
I'd recommend the film to anyone who loved the original. 9/10
