[GASP]

OHH.

NEVER FEAR, ARIEL.

I, SUPER MERMAN, WILL SAVE YOU.

? HMM HMM HMM ?

HEY! WHAT--

CRAB SALAD, ANYONE? HA HA HA!

WHOA! HEY! WATCH IT!

[GASP]

URCHIN! LOOK OUT!

THE BOY'S SLEEPING IN,

AND IT ISN'T EVEN A SCHOOL DAY.

OH, URCHIN, WAKE UP.

TAKE THAT, CRAB MONSTER!

HUH? SEBASTIAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DELIVERING A MESSAGE,

THAT IS IF I LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO DO SO.

NOW...

PRINCESS ARIEL REQUESTS OUR PRESENCE

AT THE WATER SLIDE, MAN!

ALL RIGHT!

HEY!

URCHIN, GET BACK HERE

AND COMB YOUR HAIR AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

HEY! WATCH IT!

OHH.

BUT, ARIEL,

WON'T GETTING FROM UP HERE TO DOWN THERE

INVOLVE A LOT OF... SCREAMING?

WHEE!

WHOO HOO HOO!

WHEE!

WHOA!

WHOO!

WHEE!

WOW. ISN'T SHE GREAT?

OH MY. YES. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT MYSELF, MAN.

I THINK--HUH?

UH...OH.

GOOD MORNING, YOUR MAJESTY.

UH...EXCUSE ME.

I WAS JUST ON MY WAY TO DO SOMETHING VERY DIGNIFIED AND SERIOUS.

SHE'S WONDERFUL, ISN'T SHE?

[URCHIN] SHE'S GREAT, JUST GREAT.

[KING TRITON] AND PERHAPS OLD ENOUGH, TOO.

OLD ENOUGH? FOR WHAT?

I'LL GO TO OLYMPIA PERSONALLY

TO MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.

ARRANGEMENTS?

YOUNG PRINCE THOR AND ARIEL WILL BE PERFECT TOGETHER.

THE PERFECT UNION.

UNION?

AND WHEN I RETURN,

I MIGHT HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU, ARIEL.

BUT, DADDY, THE OLYMPIANS ARE BRUTAL AND WARLIKE.

I KNOW, BUT THEY'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN TO WAR.

BESIDES, I HAVE MY TRUSTY TRIDENT.

ONWARD, LADS.

[SQUEALING]

BYE, DADDY! I LOVE YOU!

BYE, YOUR HIGHNESS!

GOODBYE! GOODBYE!

HAVE A GOOD TRIP, YOUR MAJESTY!

YES! HA HA HA!

THANKS FOR NOT ASKING ME TO GO WITH YOU.

OLYMPIA IS A HORRIBLE PLACE.

SEBASTIAN, WHAT'S A UNION?

UNION. WELL, IT'S...

IT'S USUALLY A MARRIAGE.

KING TRITON'S GOING TO OLYMPIA

TO ARRANGE A MARRIAGE.

MARRIAGE? THE KING?

HA HA HA HA!

URCHIN, THE KING WOULDN'T BE GETTING MARRIED

WITHOUT CONSULTING ME.

NOT HIM. ARIEL!

[GASP]

OH, URCHIN, THAT'S THE SILLIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD.

YEAH.

I TOLD HIM, BUT HE THINKS THE KING'S ARRANGING A MARRIAGE

FOR YOU WITH THE PRINCE OF OLYMPIA NO LESS.

FATHER WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

DON'T WORRY, URCHIN.

DADDY HAS SIX OLDER DAUGHTERS

TO MARRY OFF FIRST.

MAYBE HE'S STARTING AT THE BOTTOM.

[KING TRITON] THERE'S NO QUESTION, AUGUSTUS--

YOUR SON THOR AND MY DAUGHTER ARIEL

WOULD MAKE A PERFECT PAIR

IN THE AQUABATICS COMPETITION

AT THIS YEAR'S SEA GAMES.

OUR TWO NATIONS NEVER HAD SUCH A PARTNERSHIP.

IT MIGHT HELP KEEP THE PEACE BETWEEN US.

OLYMPIANS PREFER WAR.

YET YOU'VE NEVER REALLY HAD A WAR.

TRUE.

LET US DISCUSS THIS PEACE IDEA OF YOURS OVER LUNCH.

I'M NOT GONNA RISK MY CHANCES IN THE SEA GAMES WITH SOME ATLANTICAN PRINCESS.

I'M GONNA GO SEE IF SHE'S AS GOOD AT AQUABATICS AS HER FATHER SAYS.

HO, GNASHER. ON, CRUSHER.

I'M TELLING YOU, URCHIN, NOBODY IS GONNA MARRY ARIEL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SEBASTIAN.

WHAT I MEAN IS NOBODY IS GONNA COME HERE FROM OLYMPIA TO--

[MESSENGER] ANNOUNCING HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

PRINCE THOR OF OLYMPIA!

I'M HERE FOR PRINCESS ARIEL.

I TOLD YOU SO.

YOU CAN'T HAVE HER.

WELL, YOU'RE PRETTY ENOUGH.

AND YOU'RE MORE THAN ARROGANT ENOUGH.

WHAT DOES ARROGANT MEAN?

IT MEANS SNOOTY, STUCK UP, REALLY NO FUN AT ALL.

OH, GOOD. THEN SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIM.

LOOK, THIS ISN'T MY IDEA.

NOW I SUPPOSE YOU'LL TELL ME

MY FATHER ARRANGED IT.

YES, HE DID.

SEE?

YES. I SEE.

OBVIOUSLY THERE'S BEEN A TERRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING,

OR SOMEBODY'S PLAYING A BIG JOKE.

WELL, I OBEY MY FATHER.

IF HE SAYS WE'RE PARTNERS, THEN IT SHALL BE SO.

THOR. WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT?

HE IS ROYALTY.

WE MUST TREAT HIM WITH RESPECT, WITH DIGNITY.

SEBASTIAN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

I'M TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED!

WHEN DADDY GETS HOME, HE'LL--

BE MOST UPSET. YOU'VE INSULTED THE PRINCE.

UGH. ALL RIGHT.

INVITE HIM TO DINNER.

AND MAYBE BY THEN YOU CAN TEACH HIM SOME MANNERS.

URCHIN, YOU FIND THE PRINCE,

AND I'LL SEE TO DINNER.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH HE CAME TO ATLANTICA,

BUT HE BROUGHT SHARKS, TOO.

NO, WE MUST STAY, GNASHER.

WE MAY BE SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF TIME HERE, SO WE BETTER GET USED TO IT.

I HOPE HE HATES IT HERE.

WE DON'T WANT THIS PRINCE TAKING ARIEL AWAY, DO WE?

NO. NO. NO.

THEN DO WHAT I TOLD YOU, AND HE'LL WANT TO LEAVE ON THE NEXT TIDE.

HERE HE COMES.

SAY, THOR, ARIEL WANTS YOU TO JOIN HER FOR DINNER.

HUH. I KNEW SHE'D COME AROUND.

YEAH. BUT YOU'D REALLY IMPRESS HER

IF YOU KNEW SOME OF OUR... CUSTOMS.

VERY WELL. TEACH ME THESE QUAINT CUSTOMS OF YOURS.

WELL, IN ATLANTICA, YOU PET AN ELECTRIC EEL

BEFORE EVERY MEAL.

AAH!

[GIGGLING]

SHH.

TO WORK UP AN APPETITE,

ATLANTICANS ALWAYS WRESTLE AN OCTOPUS BEFORE DINNER.

[THOR] AAH! OOH! EE! OOH! EE! AAH! OOH!

YAAH!

IT'S OKAY. WE ALWAYS TAKE A BATH BEFORE DINNER--

A MUD BATH.

AAH!

HEY! CUT IT OUT!

AND DURING DINNER, YOU MUST ALWAYS

WEAR A WORM ON YOUR HEAD.

AND IN ATLANTICA, GUESTS ARE ALWAYS EXPECTED

TO PAINT THEIR HAIR ORANGE.

I SHOULD WARN YOU, THAT HAIR DYE HAS A TENDENCY

TO ATTRACT DOGFISH.

DOGFISH? AAH!

[ARF ARF] [ARF ARF]

WE DID IT! HA HA! PIECE OF CAKE.

THOR SCHMOR!

SO, WE MUST BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO INSULT THE PRINCE.

I KNOW, SEBASTIAN, BUT--

ATLANTICA'S A TERRIBLE PLACE.

OH, REALLY? THEN I GUESS YOU'LL WANT TO LEAVE

AND NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

NO. OUR UNION IS TOO IMPORTANT TO OUR NATIONS.

BE READY TO LEAVE ON THE LOW TIDE.

I'M TAKING YOU TO OLYMPIA.

[GULP]

HALT, GNASHER.

HOLD, CRUSHER.

ARIEL, I'M READY TO LEAVE.

OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE

HE THINKS I'M GONNA MARRY HIM.

IF WE FOLLOW MY PLAN,

HE WON'T EVEN WANT TO BE IN THE SAME OCEAN AS YOU.

HE IS THE PRINCE OF OLYMPIA.

WE CAN'T BE MAKING HIM ANY MADDER THAN HE ALREADY IS.

THOR MIGHT NOT BELIEVE ME AGAIN,

SO I'LL NEED SEBASTIAN'S HELP.

ME?

[GULP]

WHAT IS TAKING HER SO LONG?

WHEN THE TIDE IS LOW, ARIEL IS EVEN LOWER,

AND THE TIDE IS UNUSUALLY LOW TODAY.

OHHHHHH.

I FEEL SO MISERABLE WHEN IT'S LOW TIDE.

[GRUNTS]

THIS IS NOTHING SHE REALLY GETS SILLY

WHEN GRUNION ARE RUNNING.

UH-OH! THERE GO SOME GRUNION NOW.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

BEING AROUND THIS ALL DAY GONNA MAKE YOU WANT TO LIVE ON LAND, MAN.

WORST OF ALL IS WHEN SHE FLIPS OUT.

YEAH, BUT DON'T WORRY. THAT ONLY HAPPENS

WHEN TWO GIANT SQUIDS SWIM BY DOING THE TANGO.

AND HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN?

[PLAYING TANGO MUSIC]

HA.

WHOO!

WHOO!

WHOO!

SHE'S FLIPPING OUT.

WHOO!

WHOO!

NOW I UNDERSTAND.

-UH, YOU DO? -ALL TOO CLEARLY.

YOU THINK SHE'S TOO GOOD FOR ME.

THAT'S ABOUT WHAT WE HAD IN MIND.

HOME, GNASHER.

HOME, CRUSHER.

YOU KNOW, OLYMPIA HOLDS ALL THE RECORDS

FOR TRIDENT TOSS.

[GRUNTS]

WOULD YOU CARE TO TRY YOUR HAND?

IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE.

[GRUNTS]

ARE WE GOING TO THROW TRIDENTS OR ARE YOU GOING TO FOOL AROUND?

FATHER...

PRINCESS ARIEL AND HER FRIENDS ATTACKED ME.

-WHAT? -ARIEL? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY HIT ME WITH MUD AND MADE DOGFISH CHASE ME.

MY ARIEL WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING.

YOU CALL MY SON A LIAR?

IF THE TAIL FITS...

LEAVE OLYMPIA.

ANY THOUGHT OF PEACE BETWEEN US IS IMPOSSIBLE.

WE'LL SHOW THEM

THEY CAN'T INSULT A PRINCE OF OLYMPIA.

FATHER, WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO?

AND THOR SAID YOU ATTACKED HIM

WHEN HE TOLD YOU YOU WERE TO BE PARTNERS IN THE SEA GAMES.

-GAMES? -GAMES? -GAMES?

YOU AND THOR COULD HAVE WON THAT EVENT.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT UNION.

THERE'S NO WEDDING?

WEDDING?

of course, THERE'S NO WEDDING.

NOW WHERE DID I GET SUCH A SILLY IDEA?

FATHER, I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW.

OLYMPIA HAS DECLARED WAR ON ATLANTICA!

OHH!

THE OLYMPIANS HAVE FINALLY FOUND A REASON

TO GO TO WAR.

FATHER, I--

NOT NOW. GET DOWN.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS TO TRY THIS.

FIRE!

OH, OH, MON! I WAS ALMOST A CRUSHED CRAB.

WE HAVE TO STOP THIS.

YOU TAKE CARE OF FLOUNDER AND SEBASTIAN.

BE CAREFUL, ARIEL.

FIRE!

[BOOM]

[BOOM]

FIRE!

[SHOUTING]

YOU? HERE?

THOR, IT WAS ALL A TERRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING.

I APOLOGIZE.

NOW STOP THIS SILLY WAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

[BOOM]

IT'S ARIEL. THOR'S CAPTURED HER.

URCHIN, COME BACK!

OOH!

URCHIN!

NOOO!

OH, NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE?

FATHER, STOP THE SHELLING.

CEASE FIRE!

CEASE FIRE!

URCHIN?

ARIEL, YOU-- YOU CAN'T GO AWAY.

CAN'T GO AWAY.

CAN'T GO AWAY.

CAN'T GO AWAY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH EVERYBODY?

AHHH!

URCHIN, WHY HAVE YOU BOTHERED

TO RETURN TO ATLANTICA?

SINCE ARIEL LEFT,

THIS PLACE HAS BEEN NO FUN AT ALL, MON.

THE KING HASN'T SIGNED A PROCLAMATION IN YEARS.

THERE'S NO DANCING, NO SINGING,

AND FLOUNDER HAS BECOME...

THE JUVENILE DELINQUENT FISH.

THIS-- THIS IS TERRIBLE.

I'M GOING TO FIND HER AND BRING HER BACK.

OH, OH, OH!

HANG IT UP, MON.

ARIEL IS NEVER COMING BACK.

NEVER COMING BACK.

NO, WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

NEVER COMING BACK!

COMING BACK.

ARIEL!

ARIEL!

ARIEEEEEEEL!

CAN'T GO AWAY.

CAN'T GO AWAY.

I'M NOT GOING AWAY.

DON'T WORRY.

ARIEL?

THE MERBOY WAS ONLY STUNNED.

PERHAPS PEACE BETWEEN US

ISN'T SUCH A BAD IDEA, AUGUSTUS.

AGREED, TRITON,

AND WAR IS A BAD IDEA.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

I CAUSED A WAR.

I WAS JUST SO SCARED YOU'D LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK, ARIEL.

I WAS SCARED I'D LOSE THE FIRST REAL FRIEND I EVER HAD.

OH, URCHIN,

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OUR FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER.

AHHH, THAT ARIEL,

SHE'S GOT A HEART AS BIG AS THE WHOLE OCEAN.

YEAH, IT'S BIG ENOUGH

TO LOVE HER FATHER AND ME AND URCHIN

AND THAT BIG OLD OCTOPUS

AND THE SQUIDS AND JELLYFISH AND TURTLES,

GREAT BIG WHALES AND LITTLE TINY STARFISH.

I DIDN'T HEAR NO CRAB IN THERE.

OH, AND OF COURSE ARIEL LOVES YOU, SEBASTIAN.

THAT'S MUCH BETTER.

MAYBE WE CAN BE PARTNERS AFTER ALL.

MAYBE...

IN THE SEA GAMES.

[PLAYING FANFARE]

AND NOW, TO CONCLUDE THIS YEAR'S SEA GAMES,

PRINCESS ARIEL OF ATLANTICA

AND PRINCE THOR OF OLYMPIA

WILL PERFORM MIXED AQUABATICS.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
