The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea

Continuity mistake: When Melody is in her room getting ready for her party, at one shot her hair is down. In the next shot of her, it's in a ponytail, and in the next it's down again.

Continuity mistake: When Morgana traps melody in the cavern, Flounder is seen in his younger size. The next time Flounder is seen he is back in his adult size.

Continuity mistake: When Morgana sinks Prince Eric's ship, he asks where Melody is and draws his sword. When Cloak and Dagger (the manta rays) pull him under the water, he no longer has his sword in his hand.

Factual error: In the birthday party scene Sebastian gets thrown into the air and lands in the birthday cake. A couple of shots later we see that the cake is completely obliterated. There is no way a crab Sebastian's size could create that much damage to such a large cake.

Suggested correction: This is an example of cartoon physics that isn't supposed to reflect reality.

Continuity mistake: When Melody is singing for a moment, as she rises out of the sea on that huge whale, her green ribbon is missing.

Other mistake: When Ariel hugs the adult Flounder, his eyebrows suddenly turn blue, then change back.

Melody: I'm sorry, Mother.
Ariel: Oh no, sweetie, we're sorry. We should've told you the truth.
Melody: I just wanted to be a better mermaid than a girl.
Ariel: Oh, Melody, sweetie, it doesn't matter if you have fins or feet. We love you for who you are on the inside, our very brave little girl.

More trivia for The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea

Question: Do the other children at Melody's birthday party know she's a mermaid? They must do if the snotty boys and girl joined Melody and all the other mermaids in the end.

Answer: Melody was only a mermaid for a short amount of time and they never saw her that way. By the end of the movie when she used the Trident to take the walls down, she was in normal human form, and so was her mother. The fact that other mermaids were around might have been a shock, but Melody could've just explained that off-screen. Either way, she was still kind enough to let them join.

Answer: Either possibility is true. They may not have known she was, which is why it was never said among them before, or they did and didn't say anything.
