The trailer looks great, but I'm not really sure about it until the movie comes out in August.

Not everyone’s seen the series. And not everyone (myself included) liked the way they met. About the animation, I really like it. I didn’t like the animation from the sneak peek from the DVD at all. I hope they re-did it. I think it may end up being a very good movie, we can wait till August. So here’s my idea for the plot. Okay, I’m willing to admit we see two different looking Ariels in the clips. One looks about 14, the other 15. We also see a gray-haired Triton and later a red-head Triton (which keeps canon to the series) which I think proves we will get flashbacks. We see the sisters in the clip and I don’t Disney would have added them unless they would be major in the movie. From the teaser site we see a music box which seems to have Triton and his wife swimming together in the middle. So, this is my rough idea. Triton has forbidden music from Atlantic, possibly for his wife (but I don’t see Disney being that bold). Ariel sets out to change that, and I think the music box will play into that. After she meets Flounder, I think he takes her to the night club. I don’t know how she’ll know Sebastian, though. The rest I have no idea about, and I am anticipating how Marina Del Ray fits into this. And don’t forget, this movie is supposed to be so good Disney added scenes to it. P.S. I think I recognize some of my friends from UD on here first of all, as much as we'd hate to admit it, disney today caters mainly to kids; as long as the characters in the scene are recognizable to the child, they'll sell. fortunately this movie looks like it was made for the fans i liked ariel in the sneak peak, but she was too solid and didn't flow well. the new animation is off, true, but no one can re-create the exact style. i bet glen keane himself would have trouble re-animating her to the T. what i'm most thankful for is the movement, one of the biggest parts of the movie itself that captivated me. and if you check out some of the scenes (i think i saw ariel by an anchor line?) the chost look somewhat dynamic. even if the plot is only so/so, this movie is going to be a great cap on the TLM trilogy. and the sisters..! i'm so excited to see all the merfolk swiming around^^ it'll be nice to see ariel interact with her sisters more. oh my gosh. i'm too excited XD SPECULATIONS(possible spoilers?)i'm guessing that triton bans music because his wife was a singer (it's mentioned in the broadway show ariel has her voice) and something tragic happens to her(she must be dead or gone if she's not in the original or sequel). the music box almost looks like triton and melody, but it can't be so it must be his wife. i bet ariel finds it and brings it to him and it rekindles his love for music. this marina del ray character is really intruiging me, i can't wait to see her!

I much prefer the animation to the actual trailer than to the sneak peak. Her hair in the peak looked like a round block, in the trailer (and ultimately, the movie) it looks like the original fluid motion that the original had. And as Chris said, Ariel wasn't drawn to perfection in every scene in the original movie, but no one had anything bad to say about that. Sure, nothing can and ever will top the original movie, but I think they're doing a good job so far. Also you happened to post poor screencaps. I took a really cute snap shot of Ariel from the trailer with my camera phone and she looks amazingly cute. I had to crop it. *edit* this was directed to toastie2 from page 2.

I just found the trailer on the Aristocats DVD. I think it looks pretty good so far and I like the fact that we get to see flashbacks when Triton was younger.

I think the trailer looks pretty good too. The animation doesn't look terrible, but not perfect. I think it matches the original movie more than the second movie. Put I guess we will have to wait until August to judge the sequel.

wow great screencaps, random prince! i love the shadows they can do now in the movies (digital must be a whole lot cheaper, it was too expensive to do it by hand in the original). it's the fluidity of the animation that's so wonderful compared to the sneak peak. and actually, i'm shamed in saying it but there is one scene that i HATE because the animation is so sloppy although it's one of the peeks of the movie..the reprise of Part OF Your World, the close up...so squiggly and jittery >.< i shake my fist at the screen everytime i watch it haha. but it's still amazing so whatev.

also, the tails are back to the original proportions as you can see in the screencap with all the merfolk swimming around. i'm excited for the random characters; i loved in the show how they turned atlantica into a real place, not just a backdrop to whatever ariel was doing in the episode.

I think the merpeople swimming was one of the best parts of the trailer - it looks like there will be fun musical numbers! I'm hoping we'll see a lot of Atlantica in the movie. I loved the different parts of the kingdom they introduced in the TV series, like the marketplace and the carnival.

i LOVED the market place in the Gift! it felt like they went so many places in that episode. ya know, it would be cool to see pearl in the movie but i doubt she'll be in it. does anyone know if urchin is still in the movie? that would be so awsome.

Anyone else think it's clever that they're not calling it TLM3? When they released Cinderella 3 over here, they dropped the 3 so that people wouldn't immediately think "a THIRD movie?!" and assume it was really bad. I guess it worked and they want to make sure Ariel's Beginning does well.

RandomPrince thanks for the screencaps. I used two of them in my sig.

Oh and look how Alana's tail also magically changes from pink: to purple: Go Disney! xD But I guess it's just in the trailer, right? They've probably fixed it by now.
