Unlike the previous reviewer, I and my six year old absolutely loved the movie & Cd "Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea". It is a classic mother/daughter tale ... depicting the struggles of little girls to create their own autonomy, and of mothers to allow their daughters to grow while still supporting them with unconditional love and guidance. Such a great movie to watch with your daughter.
And the music was wonderful. In fact, 2 songs brought me to tears ... the duet between Ariel & her daughter Melody, and the song Ariel sings to Melody when she is an infant. "Mother-love" songs.
I am not a music expert, but I know that if music moves you in some way, then it must be "good"... at least to you. And that is all that matters. ENJOY ...

Why is everybody saying this CD was bad, save one person??? The soundtrack for the original movie was wonderful, as can be expected. As for the second one, that was pretty good...at least most of them. I loved that lullaby Ariel sings to baby Melody, as well as a few others (something I can't currently remember). However, if unsure as to whether to buy this complete collection, I STRONGLY suggest buying just the regular ole Little Mermaid soundtrack, seeing as how so many people weren't pleased with the second...

I love "The little mermaid", no mater the original or the second one. I bought this album with the help of one of my friends. It was expensive, but it's worth buying! The music in this two movies are wonderful, and I love Jodi Benson's voice very much! Her voice is like a bell and it's very sweet and beautiful. Tara Charendoff's voice is lovely too! The song named "For a moment" which Jodi Benson and Tara Charendoff sang together was beautiful and enchanted, I felt warm inside when I heard it. I suggest that if you're a fan of The Little Mermaid, don't miss this good album!

Well, the original soundtrack is awesome. But the Return to the Sea..... not the best. I recommend that you get the original soundtrack and leave the double pack.
P.S. Also Highly Recommended Soundtracks: Aladdin, The Lion King

Before I bought this album, I thought it was printed in the U.S.A, but I found it was made in Australia when I receive it. However, it's not important that where it printed. This album collected almost all songs from the 2 movies of Little Mermaid, so it's really colletable to real Little Mermaid fans!
Well, the soundtrack of "The Little Mermaid" is very familiar to many Disney fans and it will always be classic. The song "Part of Your World" is still so beautiful and calssic even though more than 10 years had passed. Jodi Benson's voice is always so unforgettable to every Disney fans, so to me. Especially the reprise of "Part of Your World", I can feel Ariel's steadfast faith and her beautiful dream from her voice. "Part of Your World" is the best ever in my opinion, even "Under the Sea" can't be compared with it!
But then, in the soundtrack of "The Little Mermaid-2: Return to the Sea", the musical legend continued! Every character performed perfectly. To my excitement, Jodi Benson returned! "For a Moment" is one of my favourites, and it's really indescribable! The melody and the lyric are beautiful. Maybe it feels better if you listen to it with watching the movie. "Down to the Sea" is a vivid and festive song, but it's a little confusing, and so is "Here on the Land and Sea". "Tatanic Tip and Daring Dash" is not much of a good song, but it's quite funny, and Melody's voice is so cute! However, this soundtrack is very imcomplete, there are 11 tracks in which I bought in China. The end title "Part of Your World" is in it too.
Generally speaking, this is really a good collection, you can collect all songs of Little Mermaid in only 1 purchase!

Both of these CDs are so much fun to listen too. My 4 year old daughter's dance recital this year is Little Mermaid and she's dancing to IKO IKO off LM II. She's so excited about it. Her and my 17 month old could listen to them all day long and sing and dance. Sometimes Mommy joins them too!! Highly recommended for all the little princess' out there.
