The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea

Factual error: In the birthday party scene Sebastian gets thrown into the air and lands in the birthday cake. A couple of shots later we see that the cake is completely obliterated. There is no way a crab Sebastian's size could create that much damage to such a large cake.

Suggested correction: This is an example of cartoon physics that isn't supposed to reflect reality.

Continuity mistake: When Morgana sinks Prince Eric's ship, he asks where Melody is and draws his sword. When Cloak and Dagger (the manta rays) pull him under the water, he no longer has his sword in his hand.

Question: Do the other children at Melody's birthday party know she's a mermaid? They must do if the snotty boys and girl joined Melody and all the other mermaids in the end.

Answer: Melody was only a mermaid for a short amount of time and they never saw her that way. By the end of the movie when she used the Trident to take the walls down, she was in normal human form, and so was her mother. The fact that other mermaids were around might have been a shock, but Melody could've just explained that off-screen. Either way, she was still kind enough to let them join.

Answer: Either possibility is true. They may not have known she was, which is why it was never said among them before, or they did and didn't say anything.
