The Little Mermaid II & Ariel's Beginning Blu-ray Combo Pack {Available Now!}

Disney logo
Last month Disney thrilled fans young and old around the world when they released Disney's The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition for the first time in high definition with new breathtaking picture and sound restoration.

Is there anyone that doesn't love the tale of this free-spirited mermaid and the courage and determination that she shows while on her adventure saving her father's kingdom from the sneaky sea witch Ursula?

But while I doubt that there are too many folks unfamiliar with Ariel, something that may come as a surprise is that there is more to her story than what is shown in the movie. What happened before, during Ariel's childhood? And what happens after, when Ariel and Prince Eric are living happily ever after?

Those answers, and more, can be found now in the Blu-ray Combo Pack of the Disney 2-Movie Collection of The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning and The Little Mermaid II: Return To The Sea!

Little Mermaid 2

Providing double the adventure and even more memorable music, everyone's favorite characters from Disney's The Little Mermaid have returned with the same captivating musical style, unforgettably colorful characters and brilliant animation to Blu-ray and 2-disc DVD.

In The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, the adventure continues in this enchanting sequel to one of the most celebrated animated films of all time. Even though her parents tell her merpeople and Atlantica are just "old fish tales," Ariel’s daughter, Melody, dreams of being part of that magical world.

The Little Mermaid 2

In an unforgettable story (running time 75 minutes), all the good creatures on the land and under the sea must join forces to show Melody that both of her worlds can live in perfect harmony.

Bonus features with The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea include:
  • The Little Mermaid II Storybook
  • Deleted song "Gonna Get My Wish"
  • Classic animated short "Merbabies"

In The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning, the extraordinary events that led up to Ariel's transformation into a princess are revealed! Long before Ariel walked on land and into Prince Eric's heart, she was one of seven beloved daughters of powerful King Triton. But times were troubled in the underwater kingdom – and music was banned!

Ariel's Beginning

In this magical adventure (running time 77 minutes), Ariel, her fun-loving sisters, and her loyal friends Sebastian and Flounder strive to bring music and friendship back to Atlantica. Featuring breathtaking animation – and some thrilling surprises – The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning is an enchanting tale for families everywhere to enjoy.

Bonus features with The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning include:
  • Splashdance: A dancer's adventures under the sea
  • Deleted scenes with intros by director Peggy Holmes
  • Sing along with the movie
  • The Little Mermaid: Under the Sea and Behind the Scenes on Broadway (DVD only)
  • Mermaid Discovery Vanity Game (DVD only)
Available now in stores near you, from Disney or on Amazon ($24.99 for the Blu-ray Combo Pack and $17.99 for the 2-disc DVD), this double feature of The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning would make a great holiday gift for Disney fans everywhere.

You can also keep up with all things Ariel by connecting with The Little Mermaid on Facebook and Twitter.

Other than Blu-ray Combo Pack that I was provided by Disney, I was not compensated or enticed to do this review in any way. This post is solely my honest opinion about this product.
