Watch it!

More harpoons!

Ready the nets, men!

I say kill her 'afore she comes aboard!

Where is she? Let me see!

Wait. Wait. Wait.

She's a fast one.

- Hand me another! - She's getting away!

I think she's smilin' at you.

I missed her.

- Another one. - Come on, another one!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Move! Move! Get back!

What are you doing?

- It's a mermaid! - A mermaid?

Use your eyes!

What were you thinking?

These are dangerous waters.

And this is a dangerous time.

Tonight's the Coral Moon.

They say this is when the Sea King calls

his mermaid daughters together

to lure men to their deaths.

- Is that what they say? - Aye.

Not even the strongest can resist their spell.

It's just an old lore.

Back to work!

- Come on, lads. - You see there?

See what, Hawkins?

Crosswind gust kicked up the chop, that's all.

- That's the Sea King's doing. - Give me a hand, mate.

He'd pull us under himself if he could.

- Sail faster! - Raising the main!

This line's tight.

Where's Prince Eric?

Up at the bow, Sir Grimsby.

- Whoo! - Eric!

What are you doing out there?

Get back here at once!

You ought to stop worrying so much about me, Grimsby.

Call me selfish,

but I do not want to tell the Queen

that her son fell overboard on my watch.

And on his birthday, of all days.

Looks like there's a Spanish galleon out there

headed toward the mainland.

We could follow it to port,

see what they've brought to trade.

Our ship is loaded to the gills as it is.

We've risked our necks out here

for seven weeks already.

We're going home tonight.

Eric.

Pay attention.

I need you to be more careful.

Careful, Grimsby!

My Daughters of the Seven Seas,

I welcome news from all of your waters.

Tamika, Perla,

it's so good to see you.

Caspia, Indira,

it fills my heart to have you all here.

Mala,

Karina…

Where is Ariel?

Sebastian?

You were supposed to see to it that Ariel was here.

I tried, Your Majesty,

but that child, she is impossible.

I reminded her

about the gathering just this mornin'.

What more can one crustacean do?

You can go find her.

- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes.

Right away.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

"Right away, Your Majesty."

How hard can it be to find a mermaid, after all?

If I'm lucky, I'll only have to search one ocean.

Where are you, child?

We aren't supposed to be this far from the palace, Ariel.

- Let's go back. - Oh!

How does that work?

Come on, Ariel. Please?

Oh, Flounder, stop being such a guppy!

I'm not a guppy.

I think we've gone far enough.

Wait.

What is that?

I've never seen that one.

Come on.

Ariel! Wait for me!

You know I can't swim that fast.

Whoa. Look at all that.

They must have used the ship for battles or something.

Yeah, great.

Now let's get out of here.

- Getting cold fins? - Who, me?

- No way. - Good.

Then you can stay out here and watch for sharks.

All right, good.

What?

Ariel, wait!

Do you really think there might be sharks around here?

Oh, Flounder.

Look at this.

Whoa.

It's the smallest trident I've ever seen.

I'm King Flounder,

Lord of the Seven Seas!

I wonder why a human would need one that size.

I bet Scuttle will know.

She always does.

Will you relax?

- It's just your reflection. - Whew.

Calm down.

Nothing is going to happen.

Flounder, look out!

Flounder!

You okay, Flounder?

Uh, sure. I mean, I've seen bigger sharks.

Just, you know, you can't back down.

You gotta show 'em who's in…

Come back, Flounder. It's just Scuttle.

Ariel. Hey, kid, how ya doin'?

Don't mind me, I was just grabbin' a snack.

Scuttle, we found more treasure.

Yeah. We went into this sunken ship,

and it was really creepy.

Human stuff. A-ha.

All right, all right, let me see.

Let… Let… Let me see.

Any idea what this is?

Oh. Oh, oh, oh!

Wow.

This…

This is… Yeah.

This is very, very unusual.

- What? What is it? - It's a…

It's a dinglehopper.

- A dinglehopper. - Yeah. Yeah.

Humans use these babies to style their hair.

You just give it a little twirl,

a little yank, you might get some pieces with it,

and you're left with an artistically pleasing

conflagration of hair that humans go nuts for.

Really? I would love to see that.

- Can't. - Flounder.

You know it's true.

Your father still won't let you go to the surface, huh?

No, it's forbidden.

He thinks all humans are barbarians.

Oh, they're not so bad.

Unless you're a coconut.

They hate coconuts.

I swear, they get a hold of one,

they smash it to pieces, just like that. It's weird.

- And what's this? - Ariel!

Swam half across

a whole ocean lookin' for this child. Ariel!

Ow!

Sebastian!

- Sorry about that! - Ariel!

What are you doin' up there?

Wasting your time with this know-nothing bird

that can't tell swimmin' from flyin'?

- Hey! - I suppose you've completely

forgotten tonight's the Coral Moon?

Oh, no!

Oh, yes!

The gatherin' of King Triton's daughters,

minus one.

My father's gonna kill me!

- Sorry, Scuttle, gotta go! - Yeah, yeah.

All right, sweetie. Me too.

Gotta get some air.

Yes, hurry home, Princess.

We wouldn't want to be late

for Daddy's gathering, now, would we?

Perhaps I'll join them.

Oh, wait, what a shame.

It seems that Big Brother forgot

to invite Auntie Ursula to the party.

Again.

Oh, I should be the one throwing the parties,

not waiting on an invitation.

Oh, the feasts we had when I lived in the palace!

And now look at me, the family pariah.

Wasting away to practically nothing.

Banished and exiled, driven halfway to madness

in this dim little crevice for 15 long years.

While Daddy and his spoiled little mer-brats

celebrate the Coral Moon.

Well, I'll give them something to celebrate.

I may have finally found Daddy's weakness.

Yes.

Red's fascination with humans might be just the opening

I've been waiting for.

It is irresponsible.

Your sisters are only here

for one phase of the Coral Moon.

Can you imagine any one of them

- missing the gathering? - No. You're right.

- I'm sorry. - It wasn't Ariel's fault.

We… We… We were exploring, and a shark chased us and…

Shark?

So, you went to the shipwrecks again?

Those waters are dangerous.

You don't have to worry about me.

Well, I do worry, my little one. I do worry.

This obsession with humans has to stop.

I just want to know more about them.

You know all you need to know.

I barely know anything.

You won't even let us go to the surface.

Why do you have to be so strong-minded?

- Just like your mother. It… - I am her daughter.

Yes, foolish enough to be taken

with the human world.

If you would just try to understand…

Well, I have tried.

I have tried to understand you long enough.

But as long as you live in my ocean,

you'll obey my rules.

Do you understand that?

Children, you give them an inch,

they swim all over you.

Was I too hard on her?

Definitely not.

It's like I always say,

"Children got to live by their parent's rules."

You're absolutely right, Sebastian.

Hmm.

My Ariel needs constant supervision.

Constant.

Someone to watch over her.

All the time, day and night.

And you're just the crab to do it.

I am just the crab to…

No, wait, that's not… What?

No, see, I serve you, Your Majesty,

as your honored majordomo.

There is no better way you can serve me

than to make sure my little one

stays out of trouble.

- But I… - Yes?

Go.

Go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How do I get myself into these situations?

I'm an educated crustacean.

I got options.

I don't need this.

I should be advising the King,

not chasing after some headstrong teenager.

Ariel, are you okay?

He doesn't even hear me.

I'm just not like him.

I don't see things the way he does.

And I…

I don't see how a world that makes

such wonderful things could be so bad.

Look at this stuff Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think My collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has ev'rything?

Look at this trove Treasures untold

How many wonders Can one cavern hold?

Looking around here You'd think

Sure, she's got ev'rything

I've got gadgets And gizmos aplenty

I've got "who's its" And "what's its" galore

You want thingamabobs?

I got 20

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I wanna be Where the people are

I wanna see Wanna see 'em dancing

Walkin' around on those…

What do you call 'em? Oh! Feet!

Flippin' your fins You don't get too far

Legs are required For jumpin', Dancin'

Strollin' along down a…

What's that word again?

Street

Up where they walk Up where they run

Up where they stay all day In the sun

Wanderin' free Wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give

if I could live Out of these waters?

What would I pay

To spend a day Warm on the sand?

Bet ya on land they understand

Bet they don't Reprimand their daughters

Bright young women Sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand

And ready to know What the people know

Ask 'em my questions And get some answers

What's a fire And why does it…

What's the word?

Burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love

Love to explore That shore up above

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world

Ariel!

Don't!

Oh, no, no, no!

What does she think she doin'?

- Oh! - Oh!

I'll tell you a tale Of the bottomless blue

And it's hey to the starboard Heave ho! Heave ho!

Look out, lad, a mermaid Be waitin' for you

In mysterious fathoms below

Who's an old man?

I'll sing you a song Of the King of the Sea!

And it's hey to the starboard Heave ho! Heave ho!

The ruler of all of the oceans And seas

In mysterious fathoms below Heave ho!

Heave ho!

Heave ho!

Enough!

Heave ho!

Thank you, gentlemen.

Oh, let's have a dance, aye.

Oh, come on. It's his birthday.

Oh, come on, Grimsby.

What's wrong with me having a little fun?

Everyone else is.

You, sire, are not everyone else.

It's time you separated yourself

from the rest of the crew.

- Oh, but I'm one of them. - And behave in a manner

more becoming of a future king.

You mean, be more like my father was?

Cut off from the rest of the world.

Oh, Eric, you know what I mean.

When you came to us 21 years ago,

the King and Queen took you in

and treated you as one of their own.

Now that you've come of age…

Max.

Max!

What are you doing over there? Come here, boy!

Come on. Come on.

Go on.

And now that you have come of age,

your responsibilities are at home.

Your father would have expected that.

Yes, trapped inside that castle

in isolation and fear.

I can't do it.

I believe a little fear may be advisable, sire.

Grimsby, you're not listening.

I want to be a different kind of leader.

That's the whole reason we're on this voyage,

don't you see?

We have to stay open to what's out here.

That's the only way our island can grow.

Eric, think what you risk.

I can't explain it, Grims.

It's in my blood.

Even now, I…

I feel there's something out here calling to me.

Storm coming in fast.

- Squall coming in! - Squall!

All hands on deck!

All hands on deck!

Batten down the hatches and crates!

Yes, sir!

Tie 'em down!

Get the ropes in! Tie her down!

Man the pumps! Man the pumps!

Pull the main sail!

Clew up and stow the main course!

We're over-canvassed!

Brail up the foresail!

Stow all of the sails!

Clew that!

Drop it down. Open up!

Oi, lads!

Fire!

Grab the port side!

Lifeboats! Abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

Into the water, boy!

- Go! Now! - Jump!

Get in. Get in!

Jump!

Give me your hand, boy.

Come on, get up. Hold on!

Boy! In here. All right?

Max.

That's it. That's it, boy. Come on, boy. That's it.

All right, boy. Go on. Go on.

Come here, boy!

- Max! Come on! - Good boy!

Come on.

Come on, Max.

There you go.

- I got ya. - Eric!

Oh, no.

Ahh! Get off me, you fool!

Oh, hey. Didn't expect to find you here.

And I really didn't expect to find her here.

Uh-uh. Hey. You listen to me, bird.

The King can never hear of this.

We are going to forget this ever happened.

- Ow! - Are you listenin' to me?

Yes.

You won't tell him, I won't tell him,

and I will stay in one piece. You got it?

Got it. Sorry, What'd you say again?

I'm a dead crab.

What would I give To live where you are?

What would I pay To stay here beside you?

What would I do To see you smiling at me?

Where would we walk?

Where would we run

If we could stay all day In the sun?

Just you and me

And I could be

Part of your world?

Check the cove, men.

Checking the cove!

- Eyes peeled! - On the other side!

Move it, lads. Follow me.

Down on the sand!

Over here!

This way.

Is he breathing?

He's alive.

Alert the Queen!

- You lead, mate. - Go quickly, lads.

Back to the castle.

Go ahead.

Go, let's go!

Let's go.

I don't know when

I don't know how

But I know something's Starting right now

Watch and you'll see

Someday I'll be

Part of your world

No.

No, it's too easy.

She's already in love with the human world

and now she found her soulmate.

Ugh.

Oh, wait until Daddy finds out.

He's gonna hit the surface.

That little girl's gonna run straight

into my tentacles.

Then I'll use her as a prawn in my little game

and finally get to rip the power away from Triton

that Should've been mine all along.

All right.

Okay.

As long as the King never finds out,

everything will be all right.

He never has to know she used

that precious siren song of hers to save a human.

I just have to find Ariel and get her back home.

Now, uh,

she was around here somewhere.

Ah-ha. Ah, yeah, this must be it.

I just have to be firm with her,

get her to see that this is all just a passing fad

and in time, she'll forget all about him.

Ariel!

Sebastian, how did you find me?

What is all of this?

What are you doin' with that

that thing?

Isn't it beautiful?

Look at the longing in his eyes.

What you know about longin'?

What is he doin' here?

It's from the shipwreck.

I found him at Merman's Reef.

And I'll bet there's so much more.

No, no! Ariel!

Child, get back here.

Ariel!

You have to let go of this obsession with humans.

I'm not obsessed.

I may be crusty, but I'm not blind.

I saw you the night of the shipwreck.

- What? - Your father wants you to stay

as far away from them as possible!

- But why? - You know why.

We don't have to be afraid of them, I know that now.

Sebastian, if you had just seen it up there.

The ship rode on the wind,

and they filled the sky with fire.

Okay, okay. Listen to me.

The human world is a mess.

Life under the sea is better

than anything they got goin' on up there.

The seaweed Is always greener

In somebody else's lake

You dream about going up there

But that is a big mistake

Just look at the world Around you

Right here on the ocean floor

Such wonderful things Surround you

What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea

Under the sea

Darling, it's better Down where it's wetter

Take it from me

Up on the shore They work all day

Out in the sun they slave away

While we devotin' Full time to floatin'

Under the sea

Down here All the fish is happy

As off through the waves They roll

The fish on the land Ain't happy

They sad 'cause They in they bowl

But fish in the bowl is lucky

They in for a worser fate

One day when the boss Get hungry

Guess who's gon' be On the plate

Since life is sweet here

Yeah, we in luck here Down in the muck here

- Under the sea - Sea

Yes

Hey, Ariel?

Somebody got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.

Oh, don't tell me Eric is still going on

about this girl who rescued him.

I'm afraid so.

And the shipwreck. Any casualties?

None, Your Majesty.

Well, thank goodness no lives were lost.

Indeed.

This restless nature of his, it concerns me.

Undertaking these dangerous voyages.

Oh, Eric, sit.

Any sign of that girl yet, Grimsby?

Have some breakfast, please.

Uh, we looked, sire.

There was no girl.

You were lucky to have made it to shore

before you passed out.

She was real. She saved my life.

Sit down, Eric.

- I'm not hungry, Mother. - I'm worried about you.

You've not been yourself since the shipwreck.

Have you checked the neighboring islands?

- Not all of them, but… - Then I will.

No, you will not.

You're not leaving this castle until you're feeling better.

I'll feel better when I find her.

Do not think you're using

this girl as an excuse to run off again,

risking your life on some trade ship

for the sheer adventure.

"Sheer adventure"?

I'm trying to reach out to other cultures,

so we don't get left behind.

Did you know on this last trip

we traded our cane for 20 cases of quinine?

They use it in Europe to treat malaria.

And where are those 20 cases now?

At the bottom of the sea.

How many shipwrecks have there been

in our waters this year, Prime Minister?

- Uh, six, Your Majesty. - Did you hear that, Eric?

- Of course, I did. - Shipwrecks, hurricanes,

the sea gods are against us.

How many times do I have to…

They are eroding our land from under us,

stealing it back into the ocean.

They would kill us all if they could.

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

May I remind you, that a deadly shipwreck

first brought you to us.

And now, I almost lost you to one the other day.

We cannot keep tempting fate like this.

It has got to stop.

Well, what does that mean?

It means that…

That your responsibilities are here now.

So, no more voyages

and no more chasing after girls who don't exist.

All I ever wanted

Was the open sea and sky

Freedom from the life I always knew

Now, all I am is haunted As days and hours roll by

All I ever think about is you

There you are

Over me

Taking me with your song

To wild uncharted waters

Miles beyond the sea

I was darkness bound

I had almost drowned

Till you came around And you found me

Now I am on the shoreline

But I'm still lost at sea

In these wild uncharted waters Come find me

Again

All I do is wonder

Who you are And where you'll be

In my mind Your melody goes on

Stronger than the undertow The night you rescued me

Silhouetted by the rising dawn

Oh, oh-oh

Over you

I cannot get over you

In wild uncharted waters

Beyond where man can see

When your eyes outshine The horizon line

And you're finally real Here beside me

Now I'm right here On the shoreline

I'm right where you left me

And your voice is like

A siren that guides me

To wild uncharted waters

Alone, just you and me

And I hope you're there In the open air

There's no map or compass To guide me, no

Time may change the shoreline

But time will not change me

if it takes my life

I will finally find you again

In uncharted waters

Come find me

Again

Ariel, could you give me a hand?

Ariel!

Oh. Yes, of course.

How do we untangle this?

Do these humans have any idea

how much damage their shipwrecks do?

I don't think they intended to have a shipwreck.

They are careless, Ariel.

It will take thousands of years

for this coral to grow back.

And they've killed nearly all of the sea fern.

They'd kill us too, if they had the chance.

No, no. They're not all like that.

Oh? How would you know?

You've never even seen one.

You were just a child when Mother died,

and Father stopped us going to the surface.

I just mean, we're not all the same,

so why should humans be?

What about humans?

I… I just meant…

Look at what their shipwreck did.

They got what they deserved.

They are the most dangerous species of all.

Spoiling our waters,

destroying the reefs,

having no respect for the balance of the oceans.

They're not the only ones

who have no respect for balance.

Ariel, where are you…

What's going on with her?

Oh, she's just at that age

when she doesn't want to hang out

with her older sisters anymore.

Exactly. You remember what I was like.

How could we forget?

Well, I wonder who the lucky merman is.

The crab, Your Majesty.

Come over here, Sebastian.

Breathe, Sebastian.

Remember, guilty is as guilty acts.

Don't overreact, remain calm.

Yes?

Yes, Your Majesty?

Sebastian,

have you noticed

that Ariel has been acting peculiar lately?

Peculiar, sir?

Mm-hmm. Distracted, daydreaming,

disappearing for hours.

You haven't noticed?

Oh… Well, I, um

Uh…

Uh, I actually haven't, you know, um

that is to say, I didn't, um…

- Sebastian… - Eh?

I know you've been keeping something from me.

- Keepin' somethin'? - Mm-hmm.

About Ariel.

Ariel?

Is my little one in love?

Oh, I tried to stop her, sir!

I tried to stop her from going to the surface!

I told her to stay away from humans!

- Humans? - When I saw her

with that statue, I… Humans?

Who said anything about humans?

Let's just drop these things off and go back.

No way!

With all that great stuff still down there?

Don't we have enough already?

Come on, Flounder.

We're just getting started.

So…

You broke the rules?

You went to the above world.

There was a shipwreck.

A man was drowning. I had to save him.

You should have let him drown.

They're savages.

You don't know that.

They killed your mother.

I know.

But

one man did.

Why blame every human?

- Mother wouldn't. - No!

Enough. That's enough.

And Eric had nothing to do with it.

Eric?

Eric?

Have you lost your senses completely?

If you would have just heard him, Father.

He's compassionate and kind and…

He's a human!

- You're a mermaid! - Yes.

But that doesn't make us enemies.

Promise me you will never look for him again.

- I can't. - Promise me, Ariel!

I can't lie to you. I won't.

I swear, I will get through to you!

No!

Please!

Father, stop.

This ends now!

Please, stop it!

It's for your own good.

Father, no!

Never leave again.

Ariel.

I'm…

Just go away.

Poor child.

Poor sweet child.

He can be so angry.

He thinks he knows everything.

Who are you?

Oh. You must not remember me.

I'm your Auntie Ursula.

The Sea Witch?

The what?

What has your father told you about me?

That…

That you like to stir up trouble

between humans and merpeople.

Oh. Is that what he said?

I'm not half the monster he claims I am.

And I'm only here to help.

I don't need your help.

Whatever you say, darling.

- Wait. - Yes?

How can you help me?

Ariel?

Where is she going

with those slippery good-for-nothin's?

Let's go.

Come in.

Come in, child.

We mustn't lurk in passageways.

It's rude.

Forgive my aggressive garden.

I wouldn't choose to live like this, believe me.

Daddy's been so unfair to both of us,

controlling everything we say and do.

In a way, we're the same, you and I.

You don't seem at all like Father described you.

Is that right?

Mm. We never did get along.

Squidling rivalry.

He always got what he wanted, and what did I get? Nothin'.

Zip, nada, squat.

Sound familiar, hon?

Oh, I know what you're going through, believe me,

and I know why you're here.

I'm not sure I do.

Oh, please.

I've been watching you for a long time now, dearie.

What you really want is to be up there

in the above world.

It's always had your curiosity,

and now it's got your heart.

What do you mean?

You're so young.

Don't you see?

You're meant for each other.

And I can't bear to see you suffer like this.

As it happens, I can help you.

How?

Mm, the problem is simple.

You can't live in that world, unless

you become a human yourself.

Become human?

Is that even possible?

Oh, my dear.

It's what I do.

It's what I live for.

I admit that In the past I've been a nasty

They weren't kidding When they called me

Well, a witch

But you'll find that nowadays

I've mended all my ways

Repented, seen the light And made a switch

True? Yes

And I fortunately know A little magic

It's a talent that I always Have possessed

And here lately Please don't laugh

I use it on behalf

Of the miserable, lonely And depressed

Pathetic

Poor unfortunate souls

In pain, in need

This one longing to be thinner

That one wants to get the girl

And do I help them?

Yes, indeed

Those poor unfortunate souls

So sad, so true

They come flocking To my cauldron

Crying "Spells, Ursula, please!"

And I help them?

Yes, I do

Now, it's happened Once or twice

Someone couldn't pay the price

And I'm afraid I had To rake 'em 'cross the coals

Yes, I've had The odd complaint

But on the whole I've been a saint

To those poor Unfortunate souls

- The Sea Witch! - Shh.

So, here's the deal.

I'll whip up a little potion

to make you human for three days.

Got that?

Three days.

Before the sun sets on the third day,

you and Princey must share a kiss.

And not just any kiss.

The kiss of true love.

If you do, you will remain human permanently.

But if you don't,

you'll turn back into a mermaid,

and you belong to me.

- No, Ariel! - Shh.

You understand, of course,

that you'll have to give up your mermaid gifts.

You won't have this tail of yours,

hangin' around, draggin' you down.

You won't be able to breathe underwater, who needs it?

And you'll no longer have that siren song of yours,

because that wouldn't be fair, now would it?

Don't worry.

I'll keep it safe and soundless here with me.

We got a deal?

I don't know.

Well…

I mean, I just gave you the premium package, kid.

Well…

…life's full of tough choices, idn't?

No.

This is wrong. I can't do this.

Fine then, forget about the world above.

Go back home to Daddy

and "Never leave again!"

Come on You poor unfortunate soul!

Go ahead

Make your choice

I'm a very busy woman

And I haven't got all day

It won't cost much Just your voice

You poor unfortunate soul

It's sad, but true

If you want to cross The bridge, my sweet

You've got to pay the toll

Pluck a scale From off your tail

A drop of blood inside the bowl!

Flotsam, Jetsam Now I've got her, boys

For boss is on a roll!

This poor unfortunate…

Soul!

Beluga! Sevruga! Come winds of the Caspian Sea!

Amnesia, glossitis Et max laryngitis

La voce to me!

Now sing!

Keep singing!

Whoa!

Yes!

Yes!

Look at her stupid little feet!

Oh, Ariel.

Well, come on, gal.

It's either sink or swim.

Don't worry, boys.

She doesn't stand a chance without this.

A mermaid without her voice?

And just in case,

I slipped a little somethin' extra into that spell of mine.

No matter how hard that girl tries,

she won't remember she needs to get that kiss.

Now it's just a matter of time.

And then she's mine.

Hmm.

Not so easy without your tail, is it?

Keep going.

You just got to get your sea legs.

We're almost there.

Get away from here!

Lord have mercy.

Are you all right?

Ah, poor girl.

You must be in shock.

I'll go find something to cover you up.

Another shipwreck.

Santa Maria.

Say, what's goin' on, kid?

I thought you weren't supposed to be up here,

now you're taking boat rides?

That… That… That rotten Sea Witch,

she stole Ariel's voice.

Hey, Flounder.

What… What are you talkin' about?

So, Sebastian told Triton that Ariel saved a human

- and Triton got so mad. - Okay, okay, okay.

- And then… Wait! - Explanations later, man.

We've gotta get you out of here.

Wait! I didn't tell you about the Sea Witch!

Bye-bye. And don't tell anyone about the Sea Witch!

Something about you seems different.

Don't tell me.

It's your hairdo, right?

'Cause you've been using the dinglehopper? No?

I can't… I can't quite figure it out,

but I know that if I stand here for long enough…

She got legs, ya idiot!

You know, we've discussed this.

I don't like it when you call me an idiot.

Why don't you tell me somethin' nice?

"Hey, Scuttle.

- "Your feathers look good." - Shoo!

Here you are.

It'll have to do for now.

I'll take you to the castle.

They'll know what to do with you there.

Come on, in ya go.

- Good catch today. - It looks good, though.

It looks raw.

You're not done yet?

His looks so good!

I must say a parrie fish.

Got plenty of fish for two weeks.

Hey!

Look at the sun and the sky

And the sand and the sea Behind me

Look at me, suddenly I am On land and I'm free

Don't mind me as I climb For the first time

Jump for the first time

Trying to stand

But this gravity's Pulling me down

Walk on, Emile.

Trot on!

Trot on!

Get Lashana, quick!

Right-o!

What is all this?

What on Earth?

The girl got tangled in the net.

- She all right? - She'll survive.

But she's been through it, though.

Won't say a word.

I wonder what happened to her out there.

Look, it's a fire

It's warm and it glows

And it lights this chamber

Let me admire it Ow!

Get too close and it bites

I came too close For the first time

Burned for the first time

Everything's clearer And brighter and hotter

But now that I'm here Like a fish out of water

I'm trying to stand

But this gravity's Pulling me down

Oh, my! Heavens.

Here, let me take you upstairs,

get you cleaned up, find you some clothes.

Okay, up we go,

one step at a time.

She can't speak at all?

Can you blame her, Rosa?

After all she's been through,

it's a blessing she's not worse off.

Such a faraway look in her eye.

Bit of a soap and a scrub, she'll be good as new.

Are we only

Food for slaughter?

Is this life on land?

Child, the blue dress that's in your room.

Well, you were lonely Under water

Come on, Ariel, time to stand

There you go. Smells nice, doesn't it?

Oh, no, you poor girl.

You must be starvin'.

Rosa, get this poor child some food.

And quick, before she tries to eat the scrub brush.

- Yes, ma'am. - Right.

Let's get that seaweed stink off you, girl.

Yes.

Squeeze in the shoes

And the corset, it's tight

And the seams are busting

Some women choose this I guess it's all right

Are my dreams adjusting

Hard to believe,

two shipwrecks in one week.

Prince Eric's still looking for that girl who saved him.

Said he won't rest until he finds her.

Stay right there. I'll get the Prince.

As I wait for the first time

Here for the first time

Now, for the first time

He's coming Through those doors

Up the stairs

From the shore

From that moment

And he'll smile

Like he knows

When I say

I'm so sorry to hear what happened.

What's your name?

She doesn't speak, sire.

She…

Oh.

Well, we're glad you've made it to us.

Do you have a place to stay?

Family?

Well, then you're welcome to stay here.

For as long as you like.

Make sure she has anything she needs.

Yes, Your Highness.

We should let you get some rest.

Realize The price that you paid

With your voice

As he turns from you

Those sacrifices you made

Were a choice That you can't undo

Lost

For the first time

Scared

For the first time

Gravity feels like an undertow

Pulling me

Down

This has got to be, without a doubt,

the single most humiliating day of my life!

I could have been fricasseed,

and then, having to climb all the way up here.

They couldn't give you a room on the ground floor?

I hope you appreciate

what I go through for you, young lady.

Eh, no.

Don't ya turn your back on me.

What were you thinkin',

choosin' to give up your mermaid gifts?

Now, if we could just get that witch to give them back,

then you could go home and just be

uh, well, and just be…

…just be miserable for the rest of your life.

Oh, my, what a soft shell I am turnin' out to be.

All right. All right.

I'll try to help you.

But we've got to be bold, act quickly.

Don't forget about the kiss.

Ah, no, no, not me, the Prince!

You gotta kiss the Prince.

Don't you remember?

You only have three days to…

Hello?

Oh, no!

She's put a spell on you.

You can't remember, can you?

Now, what are we gonna do?

Well, we got no time to lose.

We just got to find a way

to get the two of you together.

You are hopeless, child.

You know that?

Completely hopeless.

Ooh. A buffet.

What? No nuts?

What are you doin' here?

Oh, there you are. I've been lookin' for you.

Flounder told me the whole story.

Has Ariel killed the Prince yet?

No, not "killed."

"Kissed," ya bird brain.

And it's worse than we thought.

The witch has placed a spell on her.

Soon as I tell her she's got to kiss him,

the thought jumps clear right out of her head.

So, now it's up to us.

To kiss the Prince?

Forget it.

Where's Ariel now?

What do ya mean? She's right…

Oh.

What are you doin' in here, child?

You can't just go wanderin' around wherever you please.

- Hide! - Who's in here?

Oh, it's you.

Nobody usually comes in here.

My little mermaid.

It's all right, it's all right.

You can look at it.

I found her on the coast of Cartagena.

Isn't she beautiful?

Oh, that's right. You…

Well, it really doesn't matter.

Most people around here use too many words

and have nothing to say.

You know,

I never believed all that lore

about mermaids luring sailors to their deaths.

Here, take her.

No, really. I want you to have her.

I'm running out of space as it is.

Nearly all of these things come from my voyages.

I know it must seem silly, collecting all this stuff,

but just look at this fossilized sea stone.

Can you believe that such amazing things

exist down there?

No, wait!

How did you know that was in there

all this time?

That's incredible.

- Well, that. - Hey, girl.

That I just picked up from the beach here on the island.

There's loads of them at this time of year.

I had no idea you could do that.

Oh, me?

No… Oh.

Really?

All right, hand…

How do I…

Yeah, that's it.

That's it, girl.

Go get it, go get it.

I see ya.

Go on, come now…

Sorry.

Yeah, well…

I'll work on that.

I love the people there.

Their culture, their custom.

This whole region is known as the Brazilian Empire.

Then there's Venezuela,

uh, Colombia…

Oh, the area up here is called Mosquito Coast.

Those waters are all uncharted.

Wouldn't it be amazing to discover someplace

no one's ever seen before?

Ah. Well, this

this was one of my favorite voyages.

I bought that Peruvian rug there,

along with six of the looms they used to make it.

Oh.

Another one. All right.

Ah. This is our island.

We're in that very castle right now.

Over here's our main village.

Now, our port there was once the busiest in the region.

I'm hoping it will be again one day.

And there's a beautiful lagoon

with a little waterfall right here.

And then all of that is rainforest.

I could show you around, if you like.

All right.

- We'll go tomorrow. - But, sire…

Oh, Grimsby, good.

We'll need a horse and carriage

ready for us in the morning.

May I have a quiet word, sire?

Of course.

He's a special one, isn't he?

And that moonlight. Ah…

We were going to send out all the carriages tomorrow

to look for the girl.

The girl! I wasn't thinking.

Of course, yes, we must do that. Absolutely.

And I must remind you, Eric,

what your mother said yesterday

about you not leaving the castle

- until you're feeling better. - Grimsby, I feel fine.

I feel better than ever.

Yes.

Yes, I can see that.

I suppose we could spare one carriage.

Looks like you made a friend there.

Come on, Max.

We'll see you later.

Oh, no. You're not goin' without me.

I only got two days left.

I'm a crab on a mission.

Trot on, King.

I'm getting too old for this.

Oh, no, no, no! Down, beast!

Whoa!

I still got it.

Who is that ridin' out with Prince Eric?

Is that the girl who washed up the other day?

Yes, it is, Lashana.

Didn't the Queen tell him to stay in the castle?

Yes, she did, Lashana.

Aren't you going to get into trouble

for fetching him a carriage?

What carriage, Lashana?

Oh.

Do you wanna try?

Here.

Oh!

Um…

Look out! Look out!

Come on! Move, move, move!

Sorry about that!

That was close.

Whoa!

Hey, guys! Get out the way!

- Turn! - Quickly!

Wait, wait, wait!

Careful!

Oh!

That was

fun.

Here, I'll…

Let me give you a hand.

Move, move 'em.

Here we go. This way.

Come on. This way.

Here we go.

Go on. That's it.

Thank you, lad.

Island berry?

How is it? Pretty?

- Whoa! - Coconut!

- Breadfruit! - Coconut!

Fresh coconut?

No? You don't want it?

Get some water in ya.

- Thank you, Miss. - Young lady,

would you like to try some?

Oh!

I think you'll be needing this.

Hey, can I have some salt?

Good day, sire.

How ripe the mango?

Hat for the lady?

Oh. There you are.

- Oh. - No, no. Too big.

Try this.

Tropical flowers?

Hey! Everybody, everybody!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

Say, any kissing yet?

No. When it comes to romance, these two are slow as snails.

Hey, go find Flounder.

We got to move this thing along, and quick.

Okay, bossy.

Hey!

Hey!

Bring it here, bring it here, bring it here now!

Back it up, back it up, back it up!

Come on, now!

I love this time of night.

Sometimes you'll see the eyes of a screech owl,

up in the tree…

Hey! Hey!

Hey, come back with that!

Come on.

Watch out.

I think it went this way.

You all right? Hey!

Give me my hat back!

Oh. All right then.

I didn't want to lose this.

Move your big fat feathers, bird.

I can't see a thing.

Well, that worked pretty good, didn't it?

But nothing's happening.

We're running out of time, and no one's puckered up once.

I think it's time for a little

vocal romantic stimulation.

Please, no.

- Scuttle? You got to be… - Me, me, me

Womp chicka womp womp

- Chicka womp womp - Shh!

Chicka womp

Womp womp

- All right. Gosh. - Womp

I was off. I was off on that one.

- No. - Womp

Let me find it. Let me find it.

- Womp - Ya finish?

Womp

All right, all right. Listen.

Ariel cannot know we're helpin'.

If she sees or hears us, she'll shut us down.

Nah, man. We got to be sneaky about this.

We got to work on the Prince

using the power of suggestion.

Good.

How are we gonna do that?

We got to blend in with the sounds of nature,

so she doesn't hear us.

Percussion.

Strings.

Winds.

Words.

There you see her

Sitting there across the way

She don't got a lot to say

But there's something About her

And you don't know why

But you're dying to try

You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her

Look at her, you know you do

Possible she wants you, too

Use your words, boy And ask her

Do you want to try?

If the time is right

Then the time is tonight

Go on and kiss the girl

sha, la, la, la, la, la, my oh, my

Look like the boy too shy

Ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

Ain't that sad

Ain't it a shame, too bad

He's gonna miss the girl

Hey, pull it back.

Scuttle, pull it back.

What a clear night.

You can see Orion.

Oh, the… The sailors use the constellations to navigate.

That one's Orion, the hunter.

There's Aries, the ram.

That's Cassiopeia.

That's funny.

I still don't know your name.

Let's see. Is it…

Diana?

No?

Or…

Katherine?

No, definitely not Katherine.

How…

Sky…

Uh…

Aries?

Aries.

Arie…

Ari-el.

Ariel?

Ari-el?

Ariel.

That's a beautiful name.

Written in the stars.

Now's your moment

- Ooh, ooh-ooh - Floating in a blue lagoon

- Ooh-ooh, boy, do it soon - Boy, you better do it soon

No time will be better

She don't say a word

And she won't say a word Until you

Kiss the girl

Kiss the girl

Kiss the girl

Sha, la, la, la, la

Don't be scared

You got the mood prepared

- Go on and kiss the girl - Kiss the girl

- Wow, wow - Sha, la, la, la, la, la

Don't stop now

Don't try to hide it How you wanna

Kiss the girl

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

Float along

And listen to the song

The song say

"Kiss the girl"

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

The music play

Do what the music say

- Oh! - You gotta

Kiss the girl

You gotta

Kiss the girl

Why don't you

Kiss the girl

- Come on and - Kiss the girl

Go on and

Kiss the girl

What… What was that?

That was close.

Too close.

I don't get it.

I didn't think that little barracuda stood a chance

luring him in without her voice.

How's that even possible?

Well, we're not gonna let that happen again.

It's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles.

Where is it?

Come on, come on. It's gotta be here somewhere.

No! No!

Nobody ever puts my things back!

No! Where is it?

No, no, no!

No!

Oh, there it is.

I got it.

That Prince won't know what hit him.

Only one more sunset

and then I'll make Triton writhe.

I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook.

So where is she?

- We don't know, Father. - She's gone.

What do you mean, she's gone?

We've been looking and looking.

There's no sign of her anywhere.

- She's not in these waters. - Then look again.

Search all of the Seven Seas if you have to.

Ariel wouldn't dare go above again.

Don't even think such a thing.

Doesn't make sense. Why would she leave?

I… I have no idea.

Never mind that. Just find her.

What have I done?

Everyone's asleep.

- We should probably be quiet. - In his room,

- all day? - Wait.

- Go. Oh, no. - I haven't seen him once.

Go, go. Go in there. Go. Careful.

I imagine he's just resting.

Has he been avoiding me?

No, Your Majesty.

- No? - No.

- No? - No.

You seem awfully certain.

Avoiding you?

Doesn't seem like Eric, does it?

Then where is he?

Oh, he's not searching for that fantasy girl, I hope.

No, Your Majesty.

That I can say with certainty.

Thank heavens for small blessings.

Oh!

It's wet.

I will look into it.

You really must get some rest yourself.

Yes, I suppose I should.

Thank you, Grimsby. Good night.

Ma'am.

Sorry about that.

I wasn't supposed to leave the castle today.

But I'm glad I did.

All these rules…

The truth is, I wasn't born to all this,

and it all makes me feel a little uneasy…

- Welcome back, sire. - Oh, Grimsby.

Uh…

Uh…

I trust you two had a pleasant outing.

Uh, yes, we did. Didn't we?

Yes. Very nice.

You've had a long day, Miss.

I imagine we should let you get some sleep.

And perhaps dried off as well.

Oh, uh… Yes.

We… We took a rowboat out onto the lagoon,

and I'm afraid we ended up in it.

Anyway, good night.

Oh.

Good night…

Ariel.

About the carriages, sire,

I'm afraid they, uh,

didn't find the mystery girl.

They didn't?

Oh.

May I then ask,

should we continue the search?

Grimsby, um…

I just…

I feel a little…

Well, if you want the advice of an old man, sire,

don't be held back by what you think should be.

Think only of what is.

Good night, sire.

Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

What?

Hey, have you Not heard the scuttlebutt?

Your butt?

No, the gossip, the buzz

The who-said-what- who-does-that

Yeah, the scuttlebutt

Well, I was flying Over land and sea

An ear to the ground

Then I came flying here For you to see

And hear what I found

"Womp chicka womp womp Chicka womp womp"

I remember.

Well, ever since

Our little Ariel's Marriage material?

Time for the rice And the dress

Say, you're awfully quiet.

Oh, yeah. So, uh, what now?

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Can you believe The scuttlebutt?

The scuttlebutt

Scuttle, you're too close.

Oh!

My goodness, it is wonderful news.

- Isn't it, Grimsby? - Oh, yes.

I must admit, I was mistaken.

It seems you really have found

the girl of your dreams after all.

Yes. Quite the surprise, Eric.

What?

Oh. Uh, I know.

I know it must seem fast,

but… but I do owe her my life.

We will celebrate.

This evening.

You shall introduce your intended to the court.

We can make that happen, can't we, Grimsby?

Yes.

If it's really what you want, Eric.

What I… want?

It's…

It's what we both want.

Lovely.

Well, we've got our work cut out for us.

Mm-hmm. Indeed.

Then let's begin preparations. Grimsby…

Oh, Ariel, girl.

Where have you gone?

- Yeah. Any sign of her? - No luck.

I flew over the village three times.

Well, check the castle again!

It's almost sunset. We got to find her.

Copy that.

What's wrong with that fool Prince?

Something fishy going on here. I don't like

- the smell of it… Hey. - Sebastian!

- Over here. - Yeah, what?

I coming, I coming. Hold on.

Yes, what?

I think I know where Ariel is.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Ariel?

So long, Red.

Oh, no!

Risking it all

Only to fall

Back where I started

Back near the shore

Back to before

You took my hand

Bet ya on land

They understand

And they don't Strand you brokenhearted

What did I give to live Where you are?

Where do I go With nowhere to turn to?

Hey, what are you doin', child?

You can't give up so easily.

This all has to be some sort of misunderstanding.

I watched both of you.

You're meant to be together.

There you are. I've been lookin'.

And I… And I thought I found you, 'cause I heard.

But… But then I saw it wasn't you.

It… It was her!

But… But it wasn't…

In the mirror, except she had…

She had your voice!

What are you talkin' about?

Don't you get what I'm tellin' you?

- No! - The Prince has been tricked.

That lady who showed up

is actually the Sea Witch in disguise.

Are you sure about this?

Of course I'm sure!

Have I ever been wrong?

I mean, like, you know, when it counts?

Well, what are we gonna do?

Well, we have to do something

before Prince Eric ends up with that slimy squid.

Yes, girl, go!

Flounder, go tell the Sea King what's happened.

He has to know everything.

- Okay. - Oh…

What do I… What… What do I do?

You give me a lift to the castle.

We got to find a way to stall that engagement.

Really is very special.

Heroism's too strong a word for it,

but I suppose I did save Eric.

- That's what anyone would do. - Of course.

- Grimsby. - Sire.

Have you seen Ariel?

According to the servants,

she left the castle early this morning.

Left?

Can you blame her, Eric?

I don't understand. This is not like you.

I'm not sure I understand it myself.

I just wanted to…

- I thought if… - Eric.

Thank you.

I don't really know what I wanted.

Almost there!

Now, when I give the signal, you drop me!

- Got it? - Got it.

No, you idiot…

Guess I'm on my own.

My darling,

this belonged to my mother.

And I'd like you to have it.

Your happiness means everything to me.

You're very sweet, um…

Uh, would you excuse me?

Enjoy yourself.

Oh, Eric.

It's beautiful.

- What in the… - The ring.

The ring. I lost…

Has anybody seen the ring?

Have you seen the ring?

Have you seen it?

Get off me, you filthy bird!

Help me! I'm being attacked!

Ariel! Ariel, I've been looking for you.

Who is that?

What are you doing?

- Grimsby, let me go! - Sire!

Get her away from me!

She's insane!

What's going on?

Ariel, stop!

Get off!

Ariel.

Yes.

It was you all along.

I Should've known.

I don't know what came over me.

She bewitched you.

Get away from her!

Eric, I want you to know I…

Oh, just kiss!

I want you to know everything.

Nothing matters now.

No!

Oh, good Lord. She's a sea creature.

You're too late!

You're too late!

Stay back!

Shut up!

Eric!

Eric, no.

This is the work of the sea gods.

I warned you.

Their whole world is evil.

Eric, wait! Eric!

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Not a chance. You made a deal, remember?

Three days, no kiss.

Yeah, is it all comin' back to ya?

I thought so.

Well, now you gotta live with it, toots.

Ursula!

Let her go.

Forget it, Big Brother.

She belongs to me now.

Oh, you see?

We made a deal.

In blood.

It's unbreakable, even for you.

I'm sorry, Father. This is all my fault.

What do you want with my daughter?

Oh.

Nothing.

It's you I want.

I want to see you suffer,

like I've suffered all these years.

And the daughter of the great Sea King

is a very precious commodity.

Oh, poor, unfortunate soul.

Hey! Get her, boys!

Uh-uh. I wouldn't.

Shocking, isn't it?

Of course, I always was a gal

with an eye for a bargain.

What do you say to a trade, hmm?

What's your precious little Ariel worth to ya?

It's mine now.

No!

Father!

You…

You monster!

Don't be a fool, you little brat!

You are powerless against…

You're gonna pay for that.

Get him!

Say goodbye to your human heartthrob.

Don't!

Ahh!

My babies!

Eric!

Get to shore. She'll kill you!

I'm not leaving you!

Yes!

Give me your hand!

Now!

Look out!

Now I rule the seas

and all will be helpless under my power!

No!

So much for true love.

So long, lover boy.

You gave your life for me.

And you fought to get my life back.

I didn't fight alone, Father.

Eric was with me.

All that matters now is that you're safe and home.

Where you belong.

- Sire, please! - We need a boat.

Grimsby, we have to find her!

And then what?

And then what, Eric?

Darling.

You were right.

I was chasing after a fantasy girl.

No. No, I was wrong.

She was very real.

And so were your feelings for her, I see that now.

It's just that…

…our worlds were never meant to be together.

Sebastian!

You gotta be kidding me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I have always tried to do what's best for our people.

Yes, Your Majesty.

And what's best for my daughters.

Indeed, Your Majesty.

And I've done everything in my power

to make her happy.

Well, not quite.

She wants a different life

than I had planned for her.

She did try to tell you, Your Majesty.

But I won't be able to protect her anymore.

Well, it's like I always say,

children got to be free to lead their own lives.

Oh, is that what you always say?

Somethin' like that. Yeah.

Then there's just one problem left.

And what's that, Your Majesty?

How much I'm going to miss my little one.

Good boy. Go on.

Again?

Max?

Blessings to you both.

Magical news, yeah.

Oh, what's all this, Grims?

Oh, the Queen wanted the two of you

to have a proper send-off, sire.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

No. Thank you.

Much as I hate farewells,

we still have cause to celebrate.

Our worlds have misunderstood one another for far too long.

Your marriage marks a new beginning for us.

Yes. A beginning.

Now,

get out there

and change the world,

or whatever it is you have to do,

so we don't get left behind.

That doesn't sound like my mother.

- What have you done with her? - Oh!

Off you go.

Have you decided where you're headed first?

Uncharted waters.

Okay!

A mermaid and a man.

Whoever would have imagined?

Well, look who's here.

- We got you something, Ariel. - Sure did.

Something you almost lost.

Where… Where is it?

You're sittin' on it, bird.

Ow!

My little mermaid.

Keep her for me.

I hope she causes you less trouble than I did.

I was right about the dinglehopper, wasn't I?

Yes, you were, Scuttle. You were.

You won't be gone too long,

- will you, Ariel? - Of course not.

I'll be back by the next Coral Moon.

Yeah, don't be late this time.

You ready?

Yes.

Yes, I'm ready.

My child.

Eric.

Thank you for hearing me.

You shouldn't have had to give up your voice

to be heard.

But now I am listening.

And I will always be here for you.

We all will.

I love you, Father.
