** Melody and Alex meet again near the end of the movie in the same manner of accidentally bumping into each other. They remember each other, greet each other warmly, and shyly smile at one another.
* When Melody realizes her mother lied to her, Morgana comforts her by saying "you're not the only one with a mother who doesn't understand you; ''believe'' me." Although Morgana is manipulating her, that's the one truthful thing she says. It's a rare PetTheDog moment for an otherwise sadistic villain.
** Unfortunately, this is downplayed as Morgana uses Melody's ignorance of her heritage to her advantage.

* It's not canon, but [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Melody-and-cousins-46921418 this portrait of Melody and her cousins was heartwarming.]]
* Official art from one of the movie's artists: [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/7b/e5/ea/7be5eaf3b68f86df34fc7d405ee87f90.jpg Mother-daughter bonding between Ariel and Melody.]] This most likely implies that both mother and daughter make regular trips as mermaids with Ariel guiding Melody about part of her heritage.
* Creator/TaraStrong was a huge fan of the first film and lists Melody as her favorite role. She originally wasn't going to be the official voice for Melody; she was just brought in to read a template of what they wanted the voice to sound like. Her performance was so good, they cast her as Melody properly. Also, Tara apparently burst into TearsOfJoy when she got to meet Jodi Benson in the studio.
** And then in [=FanX=] convention in Salt Lake City on September 24, 2022, both Tara and Jodi [[https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1573802899083141120 reunite, complete with a few lines from "For a Moment"!]] Even Jodi got to hug Tara and say on camera that Tara is her "baby girl, (my) Melody!" Then Instagram user whatdoyousuppose made it better by syncing Tara and Jodi's lines from the song with clips from the movie [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci6hqUpLAHd/ here.]] To top it all off, Tara's tweet of her and Jodi in a picture together in the same event says [[https://twitter.com/tarastrong/status/1573771234973650944 "Me & mom"]] (The mom of course, being Jodi!)
--> '''Jodi''': This is my baby girl, my Melody!\\
'''Tara:''' I love you mom!\\
'''Jodi:''' I love you Melody, my sweet girl.\\
* Both laugh for a split second at the end*
* Even though the movie received much flak from both audiences and critics, those same negative reviewers had one thing in common: That Melody was one of the few good things about the sequel.

* Although he was assigned by Triton without being consulted first, Sebastian seems to view Melody like the granddaughter he never had. He’s willing to listen to her when she’s having difficulty with her mother and he tries to cheer her up after having a fight with Ariel.
* Triton giving Melody the locket so she'll always have a part of the sea with her.
