The new plot seems kinda dumb. I wish they stayed with the old concept of invovling Ariel's mom in the sense and how she got killed plus why Triton hates humans.

Much better back-story than music banned ocean......

No one has ever said that these things aren't still a part of the story. We still don't know why Triton decides to hate music in the first place.

Actually I don't remember seeing any storyboards, I just checked it out to see what's up with the villain. I sort of agree with Super Aurora, the plot does seem a bit lame compared to what it could/should be. They should give Triton a break though everytime I hear his name it's because he's angry about something. Personally I think Ariels Mom got too close to Humans and they accidentally killed her/hurt her (could explain why Triton hates humans so much?) seems logical IMO.

I don't think she trusted her,she just didn't had any other choice,see what i mean-she want to make her dreams come true,she hates her home and had engoue of it,no one want to help exept Ursula,so she did becouse she didn't had any choise.

I'm more disappointed that Sally Field not Ariel's mom anymore. And that she probably not in an active/speaking role anymore, now that Sally is the voice of a villian.

The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning

Post by Disney Duster »

Amazon.com has got two books already listed:
The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning (Picturebook)
Book Description:
WHEN ARIEL WAS A VERY YOUNG mermaid, King Triton banned all music beneath the sea. What happens when King Triton learns of his daughter’s secret music club? Find out in this full-color retelling of The Little Mermaid III: Ariel’s Beginning, releasing on DVD in summer 2008.
The Little Mermaid: Songs from the Heart (Deluxe Coloring Book)
Book Description:
FIND OUT what life was like for a young Ariel long before she ever met Prince Eric in this deluxe coloring book based on Disney’s brand-new direct-to-DVD movie, The Little Mermaid III: Ariel’s Beginning.
So, this may be called The Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning after all, and it definately is getting a push like Cinderella III did, because that had a picturebook and a 96-page deluxe coloring book, too.

Thanks,Disney Duster :D.
Nice title :D,but still.
I think that she'll be 15 years (like in the series),maybe it will tell about Ariel's mom (they said that they will talk to her,they just nedded a plot so they used this).

Disney Duster, please get those books when they come out or you will see me wriggle like a worm on a hook!

I can't wait!

What the...?

You know, I defended and will still defend sequels/prequels in concept, and I will defend the fact that any movie can have a sequel (even Snow White - gasp!) but...

this just sounds stupit.

The villain is a witch fish and she cast a spell on Triton.

Sorry, but it still sounds lame. L-A-M-E.

I've seen menus in McDonalds with more imagination.

I think this is a really simplified version of what the plot actually is. There will be more to it. They didnt even mention the villian! So don't give up on this already!

I always remember what Disney Duster said: The reviews and test screenings for this movie were really good! It was so good, they went and delayed it to add more scenes to make it longer. Remember this people!

I remember what I first heard about Cinderella III, I thought it was a horrible concept, but was happily suprised by it! So try to hold out until the second trailer is shown, hopefully around Christmas time.

I'm going to agree with atlanticaunderthesea here. I really doubt that the plot is just that simple. Remember it was for a children's book. None of the childrens books for Cinderella III take you through the emotional roller coaster that Cinderella went through in the movie.


by the way, 2099net you make me laugh a lot!.

I seriously doubt that Marina Del Ray (which, albeit distantly, links this movie to the anime once again) is a witch. To me, she sounds more like a minor antagonist (along the lines of Triton as compared to Ursula in the original). If they wanted a sorceress, they most likely would've just written Ursula into the story considering she's the villainess everyone remembers. She sounds more like a music teacher that Ariel doesn't get along with.

Well, for all out theories etc etc, we will just have to hold out for the trailer to get confirmed facts.

I have no clue why Disney is being so secretive about this movie. To get people like us talking about it maybe?
