The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea

Corrected entry: During the song "For a Moment" Ariel revisits her treasure cave. All of her stuff has returned, despite it being destroyed when she was a teenager by her father. As she was unable to return to the sea until now because of Morgana, she couldn't have restocked it.

Correction: As a doting father who misses his daughter, it was Triton who restored everything.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Ariel is calling for Melody (after the florist has just dropped a flower), she turns to Carlotta but Carlotta has already been stood there about 3 seconds before Ariel wants to talk to her. It was as if Carlotta knew she was going to talk to her even though she would have no way of knowing.

Correction: Ariel's lived in the palace now for 12 years, so Carlotta has gotten to know her better. So Carlotta would probably know when something was wrong with Ariel.

Corrected entry: Near the end, when Morgana freezes up after King Triton's blast, notice that she keeps on changing positions inside the ice. In one shot, she has her eyes and mouth closed, in a later shot, her eyes and mouth are open.

Correction: This was done to show that she's doomed to remain conscious, though frozen, forever.

Corrected entry: Everyone keeps calling Melody a teenager. Though 12 years old isn't really a teenager, but a preteen.

Correction: Nobody even said 'teenager' back then. King Triton said it in the first movie, so it might be a mermaid term. Also, we have no idea how they keep track of time when they can't usually see the sun.

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.

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

Question: If King Triton is the king of the sea, wouldn't he knew where Morgana was hiding? Do the humans know that Ariel and Melody are mermaids then if they do, do you think that those snotty kids would had told Melody?

Answer: King of the Sea does not mean psychic powers that allow him to be able to snuff out everyone's location. Only power he has is through the trident, which obviously cannot pinpoint location as he couldn't find Ariel when she was missing. It's likely the humans have no idea of the family's mermaid history, because yes, the snotty kids probably would have greatly teased Melody for it.
