The rumour for this plot is about Ariel's mother, Athena and whatever happened to her to make King Triton hate the humans. Well, turns out the rumour was false. The confirmed plot is horrible: Ariel brings music to Atlantica. I hope the film's plot is mildly interesting.

I post this because the long awaited trailer has just been released. See for yourself: http://video.homemediamagazine.com/?...d20&rf=sitemap

I think the original 'Little Mermaid' (Disney's) is a brilliant film - one of my favourites - but I am not a fan atall of the made-for-video sequels (I'm including the 'sequels' to other Disney classics as well). Some are watchable at best, but most are dire!

However, the kids love 'em. And that's what makes them big sellers on home video. I think Disney have some of these sequels lined up for Blu-ray release and it will be interesting to see how they sell as they are targetting the family market. If they sell well it would be a sign that Blu-ray is hitting the mainstream market.
