History WesternAnimation / TheLittleMermaidIIReturnToTheSea

** The three snooty kids are blatantly racist towards merfolk and sea life. They possibly get over this after
** Morgana, Undertow, Cloak and Dagger seem to be a case of HatesEveryoneEqually. They don't even seem to enjoy each other company very much either.

* IdenticalStranger: Melody dances with a young man at the ball who is creeped out by her when he sees her talking to Sebastian. Later, she meets a merboy named Alex, who looks ''just like him'' in Atlantica and runs off just after meeting him.

* InvisibleParents: Whoever the mother of Flounder's children is remains a mystery, as she never makes an appearance and is never brought up by Flounder.

* DramaticIrony: In Ariel's reprimand for Melody going into the sea despite it being forbidden for her, she states that the sea is dangerous. Melody, in anger at the comment, shouts that Ariel couldn't know that since she's never been in it.

The film's voice cast also includes Creator/SamuelEWright as Sebastian, Creator/BuddyHackett (in his final film appearance) as Scuttle, Creator/CamClarke as Flounder, Max Casella as Tip, Creator/StephenFurst as Dash, Creator/ClancyBrown as Undertow, Creator/ReneAuberjonois as Chef Louis, Kay E. Kuter as Grimsby and Creator/EdieMcClurg as Carlotta.

* IdenticalStranger: Melody dances with a young man at the ball who is creeped out by her when he sees her talking to Sebastian. Later, she meets a merboy named Alex, who looks ''just like him'' in Atlantica and runs off just after meeting him. It's never made clear if they just happen to look the same, or if he's also a merman and was just pretending to not recognize her.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After tricking Melody into stealing Triton's trident, Morgana asks her "Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed? Was it worth it?"

Melody (Creator/TaraStrong), the newborn daughter of Ariel (Creator/JodiBenson) and Prince Eric (Creator/RobPaulsen), is presented to her grandfather, King Triton (Kenneth Mars). However, Ursula's sister, Morgana (Creator/PatCarroll), tries taking Melody and using her as a hostage to gain Triton's power. Ariel decides to hide Melody from her mermaid past to prevent her making the same mistake she did.

** Morgana, when Melody gives the trident back to Triton and later when Triton is about to freeze her in a block of ice.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After tricking Melody into stealing Triton's staff, Morgana asks her "Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed? Was it worth it?"

* TheBigDamnKiss: Ariel and Eric at the end.

** Melody after Morgana, holding the trident, reveals her true evil nature and takes her mother hostage and imprisons her in an ice cave. Given to the fact that she let her anger against Ariel driving her to hand over the trident to Morgana, Melody holds herself responsible for dooming her family.

* NoManOfWomanBorn: Morgana’s taunt: “The end begins for all of you with fins!” [[spoiler: Melody, having legs, is exempt and this leads to Morgana’s defeat]]

** Morgana, when Triton is about to trap her in a block of ice forever.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After Melody realizes Morgana tricked her into robbing from her own grandfather so she could control the seas at her command, Morgana gives her this add further guilt:
-->'''Morgana:''' You've got no one to blame but yourself. Tell me, Melody. Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed? Was it worth it?

* InconsistentColoring:

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Once Morgana gets the trident from Melody, she reveals that [[ILied tricked her into stealing from her grandfather and giving it to her]] and gives her this for being so desperate for her dream that she let herself fall victim to her EvilPlan, and not listening to her mother when she tried to warn her:
-->'''Morgana:''' Your mommy was only trying to protect you from ''moi''! ''(mocking sweetness)'' What she did, she did out of… ''(sniff)'' love. Little Melody's been a very naughty girl, stealing from her own grandfather.\\
'''Melody:''' My… my ''grandfather''?\\
'''Morgana:''' '''KING TRITON!''' RULER OF ATLANTICA! COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF ALL THE OCEANS! [[TheUsurper Or at least he]] ''[[TheUsurper was]]'' [[TheUsurper until a certain little]] ''[[TheUsurper thief]]'' [[TheUsurper came along]].\\
'''Melody:''' You tricked me!\\
'''Morgana:''' You've got no one to blame but yourself! Tell me, Melody: [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed?]] [[WasItReallyWorthIt Was it worth it?]]

* ShownTheirWork: In the opening sequence, Morgana uses her ink the same way real octopi do-as a SmokeOut.

* VillainSong: There is a DeletedScene with this, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdvuDPx1ulo "Gonna Get My Wish".]]

-->'''Melody''': (learning the truth) All this time, and.... you never told me?!

* OffModel: Ariel doesn't look the same in some scenes. The updated re-release solved this, though. In the scene where Melody and Flounder are trapped beneath Morgana's ice trap, Flounder briefly looks exactly like he did in the first movie, whereas all the other scenes show him as bigger and fatter since he's an adult now. Several background characters from the first film appear here but with the wrong colors; for example, the snails that sing in the "Under the Sea" music number, and the tuba-playing fish (the one which says "yeah") appear in the final song, but their colors are all mismatched.

* BareYourMidriff: Melody, to a lesser extent than her mother. Her full clothes ''do'' cover her midriff, but after she becomes a mermaid, her shirt turns out to be too short to conceal it without her pants.

* TookALevelInBadass: Flounder. In the first film, he was terrified of everything, but in this film, he refuses ''point blank'' to leave Ariel and tells her that "wild seahorses couldn't keep [him] away" when she asks for his help. He even got himself into a head-match with Undertow by calling him up a pipsqueak, refusing to either back down or run away despite Undertow's threats.

The film's voice cast also includes Creator/BuddyHackett (in his final film appearance) as Scuttle, Creator/CamClarke as Flounder, Max Casella as Tip, Stephen Furst as Dash, Creator/ClancyBrown as Undertow, Creator/ReneAuberjonois as Chef Louis, Kay E. Kuter as Grimsby and Edie [=McClurg=] as Carlotta.

** Ariel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l95f1_mWXGc lets out]] ''a dramatic one'' concisely before Melody delivers the trident to Morgana.

** Ariel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l95f1_mWXGc lets out ''a dramatic'' one]] shortly before Melody delivers the trident to Morgana.

** Ariel yells "No!" shortly before Melody gives the trident to Morgana.

** This is even more of an issue with Max (assuming it actually is Max at the end of the movie and not a [[ReplacementGoldfish lookalike they replaced him with]]).

* NoManOfWomanBorn: Morgana’s taunt: “The end begins for all of you with fins!” [[spoiler: Melody, having legs, is exempt and this leads to Morgana’s defeat]]

* DarkSkinnedBlond: The handsome merboy that Melody meets in Atlantica and [[LoveAtFirstSight immediately falls for.]]

* SeldomSeenSpecies: While in the Arctic, Melody (recently transformed into a mermaid) briefly comes across a female [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harp_seal harp seal]] and her cubs. Undertow himself also counts, given he is a tiger shark. While his species in RealLife are quite dangerous and believed to be notorious man-eaters, they rarely show up in media.
