I have now the special edition from TLM II. And I watched fast through the whole movie : Ariels transformation scene is now beautiful as we seen from the pics Ariel looking evil at Morgana really looks like Vanessa but so much better! they didn t change Max running into the water when Ariel yearns for her father at the end when ariel and melody are standing on the rock and they sing their duet is longer!!! What really impressed me. In the original cut you see Sebastian singing with them but now it s only Ariel and Melody and they perform on the rock "we re feeling better now, we sing together now her on the land and see"!! Melody s birthday dress is now white! they really changed the color of her dress!! I don t if it looks better or worse!

if somebody has questions concerning the special edition version don't be afraid to ask The color of the dress of the mean girl ( the blonde girl who is mean to Melody but swims with her at the end ) was changed, too.

@ Random Prince: Happy Birthday & All the best for the new year . In the final battle with Morgana, Morgana's skin colour was also changed. And in the song "Here On the land and sea" when Melody and Ariel perform on the rock, there's no cut to Sebastian. Mother and daughter are performing "we're feeling better now, we sing together now, here on the land and sea" alone.. it's a very nice scene. I didn't notice other changes, though. Have to watch the whole movie soon.

Thank you! What did people think of the bonus features? I thought the new game was crap - it wasn't fun at all! I liked the new song though and the storybook is better now that the pages turn automatically. The menus were good too.

I like the main menu a lot although I think that Ariel and Melody swimming together looks a little cheap. And I don't like that the fish ("Ariel s coming) was used because he moves his mouth but we don't hear anything. However a lot better than the old menu ^^. Bonus feature menu is cute with Sebastian walking through the picture. In the new game it was only fun to control Melody it's not that easy!! I especially liked the storybook menu because it has only Ariel on it ^^.. And yeah you're right the storybook moves. Looks much better now. The deleted song is the best although I also hoped for a deleted scene(Ariel searches Melody) I think they really did something for this special edition , they even changed the movie at some parts..
One question: Ariel's sisters are not in the final image of the movie are they??

I liked the new song though and the storybook is better now that the pages turn automatically. The menus were good too. I was kind of disapointed on the Special features. I would've hoped it would've had the first movies' special features like 'a making of' or something to that extent. The game wasn't not that fun, and that merbabies skit was pointless in my opinion.

I still haven't seen Merbabies all the way through, but I'm looking forward to it. I used to have a Sing Along Songs video with clips from it.

Random Prince is I think you have the same one that I do its with Ariel on the cover and, the song that goes with it is ''At The Codfish Ball". I love that hahaha!!!!! Happy b-day!!!

Yeah, I think that's the one. I haven't seen it for years. The song sounds familiar though. I forgot to mention I was surprised they used Chely Wright's version of Part of Your World for the credits. I heard they used a different version for the original US release. Is that not true?

Wow! That's amazing that they can go back and make those changes. I really like the detail they put on Ariel in the transformation. That's absolutely fantastic! I don't really like the change to Adella. I liked her being curvy; it made the sisters look less carbon copy of each other :( But that's fine; they're going with the new style of the sisters and I totally understand that.
Tell me what you guys think because I already have TLM II on VHS and DVD and I don't know whether it's worth it to get the special edition (especially because I really don't like the movie that much in the first place). But if the changes and extras are worth it, I'll think about getting it...

I'm really glad you said that about Adella. I think she looked better before too. At least Aquata looks a lot better now! I wasn't a big fan of TLM2 either until TLM3 came along, but I watched both the day the Trilogy boxset was released and it opened my eyes to how good TLM2 is! I've even warmed to Melody - she doesn't seem so bratty to me any more. My advice would be give the movie another chance and if you enjoy it, get the Special Edition. It's a pretty good DVD.

Now that I can do. I'll see if I can rent it and then I'll decide. I also haven't seen the movie for years so I might have a different perspective on it now, especially after Ariel's Beginning. Thanks, Random Prince!

Thanks Daniel for posting the screencaps, I really like the changes. Although I'm still not able to work out what the point was in changing the colour of the upper part of Melody's dress It's not like that was in real need of a change, but oh well Disney does work in mysterious ways. I'm excited now because I've ordered the trilogy boxset off the internet, but obviously to get TLM2:SE I had to order the Region 1 boxset, despite not owning a Multi-regional DVD Player which I was well aware of beforehand, but thought I had better get it before it gets vaulted. So does anyone know if I will be able to play it on my compter despite the region difference, Daniel how did you watch it? If not I will find some way of watching it Thanks again for the screenshots
