Hm, I think I might actually be a little excited to see this. When I saw just the trailer and only heard a little about it, I was really dissapointed. But after watched the sneak preview, it actually looks pretty interesting! Although, that's what I said about Cinderella III, and well... that didn't turn out so well. :/ But this looks much more promising, so I can't wait to get the DVD! :]

Anyone get this feeling that a Mermaid's "Seashell Bra" is actually some sort of natural organic armor from this pic? I mean, I don't know how long this was after her birth (Though, considering how she seems to still be an infant, it can't have been long.) I mean, after seeing that Purple stripe across her chest, I am suspecting that may be the case. As for everyones surprise for Athena looking exactly like Ariel, Suprisingly, although that wasn't what I had anticipated, for some reason, I'm not surprised. Maybe it's because I saw Bardock a few times to not be surprised by this revelation (Hey, Bardock looked almost exactly like Goku.) Also, I wanted to ask about a certain character. See, There was this character I saw from Aladdin from Agrabah's banner (No, I am not a member of Ultimate Disney Forums.) that I couldn't recognize. I mean, I recognized Queen Athena, I could recognize that purple haired, Mermaid Ursula: Marina Del Ray, I recognized Ariel, but I couldn't recognize the fourth character. I mean she looked like Anastasia from Cinderella with a Xenomorph hatcher latched onto her cranium (Sorry if I had to reference an "R" rated movie like the "Alien" series, but it was the best thing I could describe it as in regards to that... Errr... Thing.) If I can find an image of said character from something other than Aladdin's Banner, I'll post it. Also, I don't think that Marina Del Ray has any ties to Ursula, or even IS Ursula. I mean, Yes, she does resemble her original look as a mermaid from one of the concept arts, but they could have simply reused the design. I mean, In "The Little Mermaid 2", there was a couple at Melody's B-Day party that had a huge resemblance to Ariel and Eric from the original Movie, and the present day Ariel and Eric were there as well, so they were re-used designs. Plus, Not only were Ursula and Morgana Cecillians (or Octopids, as is their canon name), but, from the family portrait of Ursula's family, Their Mom was ALSO an Octopid as well, so unless Triton's own Mom was also involved with the events that Marina was laying down, I don't think that Ursula and Marina are the same being. However, let's just wait until August to try and find out all of the details on this mysterious new villain. And even IF she turns out to be Ursula, That doesn't mean she was originally a Mermaid, much less Triton's sister. For all we know, Ursula could have disguised herself as a Mermaid and adopted an Alias to get into Atlantica (I mean, she was the same creature who transformed herself into a darkened copy of Ariel's human form and named herself Vanessa. If she could do that, she can most certainly do the same in regards to transforming into a Mermaid.).

Bardock did look like Goku, but at least he had a scar on his face and a different wardrobe to make him feel like a unique character.
I think Ariel's top there is meant to be some kind of cloth, not shells.
Ursula WAS originally going to be Triton's sister & they use the plot point in the musical, but in movie continuity it is unconfirmed whether she is or not.
I agree that Marina is meant to be an original villain and not Ursula in dsiguise.
I'm cautiously looking forward to the movie.

Is better than tlm2... I like ariel´s mom and the pirates...I´m agree Marina looks like medusa and ursula... I expected another thing... but is ok... both are great villains... Arista is very different... the scene in the beginning with all the mermaids making music reminds me fantasia and peter pan too... is very beautiful... the movie is ok... but never can be compared with tlm...

I mean, I recognized Queen Athena, I could recognize that purple haired, Mermaid Ursula: Marina Del Ray, I recognized Ariel, but I couldn't recognize the fourth character. If you look at the banner again, it would be, in order from left to right: Athena's close-up, Marina Del Ray, Athena and Ariel's sister Attina, then Marina Del Ray in a different costume (notice the same make-up?), and the last one is Ariel really, really off-model because the animation in this is so bad. Yes, Marina Del Ray has a little costume change. We see her look two different ways in the Sneak Peek. Probably for the Lunar Tide Festival. As for your thing about character designs, there's a difference between having extras (people that just fill up space and have like no part in the movie) look exactly like the main characters because the animators have no imagination and going back to the archives to look for un-used designs for what a character (Ursula) looked like before. Ursula disguising herself as Marina sounds great.

I thought of Fantasia and Peter Pan too. It reminds me of the old disney movies. Very nostalgic.

I'm thinking the tune Ariel hums as she wakes up must be one of the songs. Just those few notes alone were kinda catchy, so I guess that's a good sign!

i love the sneak peak..but i am soo p***** they never looked back to the previews ariel movies and series...first we were talking about the mistake they did in showing "ariel & flounder's first meeting" since it was already shown in the series within the "in harmony" episode, next we see the palace guards are sharks.not mer people as they were in all movies and series , then we see alana in purple not as pink as we always seen her and her voice is way to different than all previous appearances i mean she was the only one with the weird voice then we see adella with brown hair while he actual hair color is black :(and i dont like the idea that ariel's mother is in red hair...i mean common triton had red hair so ariel could have taken it from him..but what about the other 6 sisters from where did they get the blond & black and brown hairs :S and they could have made the mum dress any other colors instead of dressing her up like ariel..the scene that got re-made of the sebastian club is not as good as the old one that was shown in the platnum edition :( but i am soo excited for the movie anyway as i said before anything with ariel is great

Excuse me if I sound a bit groggy in my post, I just had a really rough day at school (I didn't get into trouble, mind you, I just had stress overwhelm and tire me out from several changes in schedule) i love the sneak peak..but i am soo p***** they never looked back to the previews ariel movies and series...first we were talking about the mistake they did in showing "ariel & flounder's first meeting" since it was already shown in the series within the "in harmony" episode, next we see the palace guards are sharks.not mer people as they were in all movies and series , then we see alana in purple not as pink as we always seen her and her voice is way to different than all previous appearances i mean she was the only one with the weird voice then we see adella with brown hair while he actual hair color is black :(and i dont like the idea that ariel's mother is in red hair...i mean common triton had red hair so ariel could have taken it from him..but what about the other 6 sisters from where did they get the blond & black and brown hairs :S and they could have made the mum dress any other colors instead of dressing her up like ariel..the scene that got re-made of the sebastian club is not as good as the old one that was shown in the platnum edition :( but i am soo excited for the movie anyway as i said before anything with ariel is great Ok, no offense, but I do need to explain some things. First, with Ariel and Flounder meeting there and NOT In Harmony's flashback, Maybe they initially didn't recognise each other in this film because they looked somewhat different (Or at least, Flounder didn't recognize Ariel, I mean, It's understandable, since Ariel didn't always look like that, I mean, we saw her "Tween" form looking a bit like Misty from Pokemon.) But they eventually remember when they met. I mean, this isn't exactly the first time something like this has happened in an animation studio. In "The Simpsons" (Ok, maybe this is a bad example, but still...), Specifically in this Episode: The Way we weren't, they had Homer and Marge's actual first meeting at summer camp, and yet their OFFICIAL (as in, their known) First Meeting was during the Prom. As for the sword fish/Saw shark hybrids being the guards instead of merpeople, Maybe he pulled a Gatsby and fired all of the Merpeople guards and replaced them with those things? Ok, maybe More that Marina Del Ray pulled a Gatsby and influenced him into firing them with fear of losing anyone else. Also, I just wanted to say, exactly when were there Guards in the original movie? Also, about adella, maybe her hair color was actually a Very Dark Brown and only LOOKED Black? As for Fish Tails... All Right, you've got me there, but I noticed from screencaps (specifically in the throne room), that most of the areas are in near darkness, so maybe it was the way the light was hitting on Adella's tail? As for Triton having Brown Hair, maybe it's graying Red Hair. I mean, Hair generally get's progressively less color when someone grows older. Also, He has to be older than 50 years old as his face in the current age since right now, considering how the eldest sister looked almost exactly like her present self, which couldn't have been possible if she were about 7 years above Ariel's Age, and thus made Triton somewhat in the 50 year range in the present, so the only way this could have been possible is if he was at LEAST 70 years old at that time. As for all of her sisters having brown, black, and blonde hair, maybe all of those are a receeding genetic trait? And also, technically they did dress up Athena to make her seem somewhat more unique (though, admittedly it was just barely), since they gave her that clam necklace, that crown that's similar to Triton's, and limegreen eyes instead of aqua blue. Ok, that should be it for now.

OMG Triton' voice!... It's Pete! Too weird... When Ariel says "I was just listening to music in an underground club", I swear to God she sounds like she was doing drugs or something xD I don't really like how they changed the sisters' hair... They looked better in the movie. Also, from this preview, it seems like Attina's the "responsible one" out of the seven sisters, which I think is kinda off, since I've always picture Aquata doing that, what with her being the oldest and all... And Andrina sounds dumb, just like I imagined she would be XD Oh and do you recognize Aquata's voice? It's Frankie from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends!! ... Does anyone watch that show? Marina's animation is AWESOME!! Plus that manatee is just killing me xD One thing I think is weird is that they're trying to get a movie with dramatic and thrilling moments out of a very simple plot... Plus Marina doesn't seem like a fitting villain, she's more like an evil comic relief... From what I've seen, I just have to wonder... What is the teaser trailer all about? You know, the first one that showed up, with footage from TLM and TLM2. You can't really understand the meaning of it, but it certainly doesn't look related to this movie in any way. Did Lasseter's arrival really change the plot that much? Even though we've all gotten first impressions, I think we should wait until August. 5 minutes out of a 80/90 minute movie is not enough to make judgements, so I'll just wait with excitement I did like this sneak peek though. PS: I'm with Prince Eric, Athena's hair should have been a different color, maybe blonde. It's odd to have blondes and brunettes from two red-heads... Oh well, hopefully they'll explain it in the movie lol

I think the teaser trailer actually relates to the new sneak peek. First off, I guess we're supposed to think of Eric's ship as a pirate ship, and the locket that floats down, as the music box. And the dark atmosphere is supposed to reflect the mystery of the movie. I think Lasseter was in charge of the creative department already before TLM: PE was released, so if he had wanted to change something that last minute, we wouldn't have gotten the sneak peeks on the DVD.

I agree with Keith. When I watched the sneak peek I thought the teaser finally made sense. So Kenneth Mars is definitely not Triton's voice in this movie? Oh no! That's terrible news. I thought he just sounded weird because of the quality of the video clip. :(

Triton sounded like Jim Cummings to me.

Brian Cummings has voiced Triton in the past when Kenneth Mars has been unavailable, so maybe it's him. He was great as Simon the seamonster in the TV series, but he is really bad as Triton. Thnaaw, I'm still looking forward to the movie but I'll miss Kenneth Mars a lot. :( I know it's unlikely, but I'm crossing my fins that he just hadn't recorded his lines yet and they used someone else for the sneak peek.

What's weird is that Wikipedia says that Kenneth Mars is voicing Triton. But it doesn't sound like him, does it? Maybe they had some reason to use a different voice in the sneak peek... I sure hope Ken's in the movie :/
