From Sea to Shining Sea: Breaking Down The Little Mermaid Sequels

In this episode, hosts Sammi, Ashley, and Dan, dive into a lively discussion about Disney updates and the world of direct-to-video sequels. Today's topic: "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea" and "Ariel's Beginning." They praise Jodie Benson for her continued devotion to voicing Ariel, but, unfortunately, none of the songs are particularly memorable when compared to the original. Plus, a fun "deep dive" into the film's geography leads to a debate over whether the story takes place in Denmark, Italy, or the Caribbean, especially given the presence of ice in the sequel.

Hi, I'm Sammi! I help produce and edit most of our podcasts on the network! I love Disney and scary movies, but I am not so sure about real supernatural experiences or ghosts...
