[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

OHH!

GRRR!

HEE HEE HEE!

DON'T YOU LOVE A DAY LIKE THIS?

SO CALM, SO PEACEFUL.

[CANNON FIRE]

-OHH! -HUMANS!

AII...

HA HA! YOU MISSED ME!

WHOA!

GRAB HIM! HOLD ONTO HIM!

-WATCH IT! -HA HA! MISSED AGAIN!

DO YOU SUPPOSE IT'S DANGEROUS?

IT SURE CAUSED A LOT OF COMMOTION UP THERE.

[GASP]

IT'S PERFECTLY OBVIOUS, DARLING.

ANYONE CAN SEE IT'S A HAT,

AND A VERY CHIC ONE AT THAT.

HMM...

AAH! GET THIS HORRID THING OFF ME!

GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!

THIS THING IS A MENACE!

WHAT'S MORE, IT IS NOT MY COLOR.

HMM...MM-HMM...

AHA, YES! THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT IT IS.

-WHAT? -A CONTRAPTION TO CARRY ONE

FROM POINT "A" TO POINT "B."

BUT WE DON'T HAVE A POINT "A" OR POINT "B."

-DO WE? -ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE.

OHH! OOH!

A SIMPLE MATTER OF PHYSICS.

NO BIG MYSTERY. NO DANGER.

AAH!

IS HE AT POINT "A" OR POINT "B"?

I THINK HE MISSED THE POINT COMPLETELY.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THIS THINGAMAJIGGER?

AHH!

YOUR MAJESTY, WHAT IS THAT THING?

IT FELL... FROM UP THERE!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, DADDY?

IT'S HUMAN, ARIEL, AND THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

-I KNEW THAT. -ME, TOO.

DON'T YOU ALL REALIZE THAT HUMANS ARE EVIL?

EVIL AS THE EVIL MANTA.

MAYBE EVILER.

WHATEVER HUMANS DROP INTO THE SEA IS DANGEROUS.

FISH HOOKS TO CATCH US.

-THAT'S RIGHT, MON. -NETS TO TRAP US.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

ALL MANNER OF FOUL POLLUTION!

I TELL YOU, MON, IT STINKS!

WE MUST GET RID OF THAT-- UH... THAT...

THINGAMAJIGGER?

THINGAMAJIGGER OR IT WILL DESTROY US ALL.

BUT, DADDY, IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY HARM.

WELL, MAYBE THERE WERE A FEW MINOR ACCIDENTS,

BUT... I WANT TO LEARN.

NOT ABOUT THIS, YOU DON'T.

SEBASTIAN, I'M APPOINTING YOU ROYAL DISPOSAL OFFICER.

MAKE SURE IT RECEIVES A PROPER BURIAL--

FAR, FAR AWAY AND NICE AND DEEP.

YES, YOUR MAJESTY.

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, YOUR MAJESTY.

I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS DANGEROUS THING FAR, FAR...

I'LL HELP YOU, SEBASTIAN.

DON'T WORRY. WE'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOU SAY,

"WHAT'S TAKING THEM SO LONG?"

GOOD RIDDANCE TO THAT TERRIBLE THINGAMAJIGGER.

IT WAS A MENACE TO US ALL.

EVEN KING TRITON FEARED IT.

OOH, EVEN KING TRITON WAS AFRAID.

A MENACE TO US ALL.

OOH, THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS A MENACE.

KING TRITON WAS AFRAID. PASS IT ON.

-BEWARE THE THINGAMAJIGGER. -IT'LL DESTROY US ALL!

PASS IT ON.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A LITTLE TARGET PRACTICE.

ALL RIGHT, SHRIMP.

ALL RIGHT, SHRIMP, BRING OUT THE DUMMY OF THAT DUMMY.

YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S GOOD. HOLD IT STILL.

ALL RIGHT, SHAKE HIM BACK AND FORTH. GOOD, GOOD.

-TAKE THAT, KING TRITON! -[HONKING]

AND THAT, SEE?

I'M TAKING OVER.

GRRR! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS BUBBLE GUN?

HOW AM I EVER GONNA TAKE OVER ANYTHING WHEN NOTHING WORKS RIGHT?

[GRUMBLING]

OOH! BEWARE THE THINGAMAJIGGER!

-THE WHAT? -THE THINGAMAJIGGER, IT'S EXTREMELY POWERFUL.

-OH YEAH? -EVEN KING TRITON'S AFRAID OF IT.

YEAH. THAT'S MY KIND OF THINGAMAJIGGER! YEAH!

ALL RIGHT, ARIEL.

GOODBYE, MY BEAUTIFUL THINGAMAJIGGER.

HEE HEE.

[HUMMING]

OH, EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!

THE THINGAMAJIGGER'S LOOSE.

-SPREAD THE WORD. -SPREAD THE WORD.

[FOOTSTEPS]

HEE HEE HEE. SURE IS QUIET AROUND HERE.

[HUMMING]

[CHATTERING]

OOOH, EMERGENCY! THE THINGAMAJIGGER'S HEADED THIS WAY.

MOVING UNDER ITS OWN MAGICAL POWER.

OH, HI, DADDY.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, YOUR MAJESTY.

THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS BURIED SO DEEP,

NOBODY'S GONNA SEE IT AGAIN.

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS COMING. THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS COMING.

-WHAT? -HUH?

-B-B-B-BUT-- -NO BUTS. NOT EVEN LITTLE CRAB BUTS.

JUST FIND THAT BLASTED THING AND BURY IT PROPERLY.

[HUMMING]

OHH... OHH... OHH...

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT, SHRIMP.

AND... IT'S MINE. ALL MINE, SEE. HA HA HA!

YEAH, IT'S OURS. ALL OURS! HA--

[ALL GASP]

WOW! THIS THINGAMAJIGGER IS REALLY POWERFUL!

COME ON, SHRIMP.

WE CAN USE THIS TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE OCEAN, SEE?

YEAH, WE'LL START WITH KING TRITON'S PALACE.

IF WE DON'T FIND THAT THINGAMAJIGGER,

THE KING'S GONNA TURN ME INTO CRAB CAKES.

WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

OOH, THE THINGAMAJIGGER DID IT.

YES, THE LOBSTER MOBSTER TOOK THINGAMAJIGGER AWAY.

THE LOBSTER MOBSTER?

OHH, NO.

WE GOTTA FIND THINGAMAJIGGER, AND FAST!

I'LL WARN THE KING! YOU KEEP LOOKING!

WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?

FLOUNDER, OUR ONLY HOPE IS TO GO UP THERE.

-WHAT? -MAYBE WE CAN FIND OUT HOW THE THINGAMAJIGGER WORKS

AND HOW STOP IT.

IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE.

ARIEL, COME BACK!

OHH...

ARIEL, THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE.

FLOUNDER, I'M AS SCARED OF HUMANS AS YOU ARE,

BUT WE HAVE TO FIND OUT HOW TO STOP THE THINGAMAJIGGER.

OH, NO. THE HUMANS ARE GONE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING TO DO--

WE SWIM TILL WE FIND SOME.

GOING HOME WAS MORE WHAT I HAD IN MIND. ARIEL!

[CHATTERING]

TELL ME ABOUT THIS THINGAMAJIGGER

I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT.

OH, IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN TRITON'S TRIDENT.

YES. DESTROYED OUR CLIFF. MADE THAT HOLE.

HMMM...

[LOBSTER] AHH.

OOP!

WHEW. THIS THING WEIGHS A TON.

LET'S REST AND DAYDREAM ABOUT MY FUTURE.

WHAT'S HAVING A FUTURE LIKE, BOSS?

FOR STARTERS, I CAN SEE US TAKING OVER THE PALACE, SEE.

FIRST WE'LL MAKE THE KING AND THAT GOOFY CRAB OF HIS

OUR OWN PERSONAL SERVANTS.

HEE HEE! YEAH, YEAH?

THOSE ARE FISH... LIKE ME!

ARIEL, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

HALF OF ME SAYS GO.

THE OTHER HALF WANTS TO SEE MORE.

[WOOF WOOF]

OH. THINGAMAJIGGERS!

HUMANS USE THEM TO COVER THEIR... FINS?

JUST THE BACK ONES.

[SQUEALING]

SOMEONE GET RID OF THAT PORPOISE

BEFORE IT RUINS OUR NETS!

LEAVE IT TO ME, CAPTAIN SAYERS.

OFF WITH YOU, NOW. BACK TO THE SEA, WHERE YOU BELONG.

HOW CAN THAT BE?

A HUMAN WHO'S NOT EVIL?

MAYBE WE CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE.

I WISH I COULD'VE SEEN HIS FACE.

ARIEL!

SO MUCH FOR THAT PAIR OF BOOTS.

HEY, TOSS 'EM IN!

I LOVE IT WHEN LANDLUBBERS CATCH ONE OFF THE DOCK.

HE-- HE JUST THREW IT AWAY

LIKE IT WAS... WORTHLESS.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE KING'S FACE

WHEN WE TELL 'IM WE'RE TAKIN' OVER!

I GOTTA DO SOMETHING! I GOTTA DO SOMETHING!

[DEEP VOICE] I COMMAND YOU TO PUT ME DOWN!

IT'S TALKIN' TO US.

YEAH! WITH AN ACCENT.

HMM?

DON'T LOOK IN HERE!

BEGONE!

OR I SHALL RELEASE MY GREAT THINGAMAJIGGER POWER UPON YOU!

AAH!

THE JIG IS UP!

THE THINGAMAJIGGER'S GONNA LET US HAVE IT!

-RUN! -LOOK OUT!

HA HA HA HA HA!

HA HA! LOOK AT THEM GO.

NOBODY MESSES WITH SEBASTIAN D. CRAB,

ROYAL DISPOSAL OFFICER.

OH, NO. THE EVIL MANTA!

WELL, WELL. THIS MUST BE THE MAGICAL THINGAMAJIGGER.

THE ONE EVEN KING TRITON FEARS?

[CLAM] OH, YES, THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE TERRIBLE THINGAMAJIGGER.

IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN TRITON'S TRIDENT.

EVEN KING TRITON WAS AFRAID.

A MENACE TO US ALL.

IT REALLY IS POWERFUL.

[HIGH-PITCHED] BEWARE-- [GULP]

[DEEP VOICE] BEWARE THE MIGHTY THINGAMAJIGGER!

[WHISPERS] PLEASE, OH, PLEASE BEWARE.

[DEEP VOICE] GO AWAY, EVIL MANTA!

-SHOO! -NOT SO FAST. WE CAN BE PARTNERS.

TOGETHER WE CAN RULE THE WHOLE OCEAN.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

LET ME THINK ABOUT IT A CENTURY OR TWO, O.K.?

-SEE YA! -TRITON FEARS YOU, THINGAMAJIGGER.

NOW'S THE TIME TO STRIKE!

WITH YOU, THINGAMAJIGGER,

I WILL FINALLY SUCCEED.

[HIGH-PITCHED] EXACTLY-- [AHEM]

[DEEP VOICE] EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AT, EVIL MANTA?

SUCCEED AT HAVING MY WAY

AND NOT LETTING OTHERS HAVE THEIR WAY.

SUCCEED AT MAKING EVERYONE ELSE'S LIVES

MISERABLE AND HOPELESS!

I WANT TO STOP ALL MUSIC!

TO ABOLISH ART! TO DESTROY DANCING!

BESIDES, WHAT'S IT TO YOU, THINGAMAJIGGER?

UH, JUST MAKING CONVERSATION, MISTER MANTA.

WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?

YOU'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO A THINGAMAJIGGER,

YOU FOOLISH CRAB.

WHEW. IT SMELLS TERRIBLE IN HERE.

JUST SHOOT YOUR POWER WHEN I TELL YOU, THINGAMAJIGGER.

I'LL DO THE TALKING FROM NOW ON.

WHY DO I HATE HUMANS SO?

WELL, UH, YOUR MAJESTY...

I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE THAN JUST DANGEROUS.

HUMAN THINGS WILL CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE, WON'T THEY?

OH, WELL, WELL, I--

DESTROY THE PEACE AND HARMONY OF OUR WORLD.

I HAD TO BE FIRM, DIDN'T I?

I WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, WASN'T I?

UH, WELL...

THANK YOU, DUDLEY.

I'M GLAD WE HAD THIS TALK.

I'M JUST GLAD

THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS GONE...

SIR.

EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY. THIS JUST IN.

THE EVIL MANTA'S COMING,

AND HE'S GOT THE THINGAMAJIGGER!

[SCREAMS]

TRITON! AT LAST I HAVE A POWER

SURPASSING EVEN YOUR TRIDENT.

OH, DON'T BE A FOOL, MANTA.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH POWER IT HAS.

IT COULD DESTROY US ALL.

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.

NOW, THINGAMAJIGGER,

SHOOT!

DON'T KILL TRITON! WE GIVE UP!

HAIL TO THE NEW KING! KING MANTA!

AND HIS MAGICAL THINGAMAJIGGER!

WATCH IT! OUT OF THE WAY.

MANTA, YOU ARE FINISHED.

LET'S JUST SEE WHOSE THINGAMAJIGGER IS MORE POWERFUL.

WH--WH--WHAT?

CAREFUL, ARIEL!

THAT THINGAMAJIGGER

IS NO MORE MAGICAL THAN THESE ARE.

[SEBASTIAN MOANING]

[ALL GASP]

OOOH...

SEBASTIAN!

BUT IF THE THINGAMAJIGGER IS NOT A WEAPON,

THEN WHAT IS IT?

-YEAH, WHAT IS IT? -THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

IT'S SOMETHING HUMANS USE TO COVER THEIR FINS.

COVER THEIR FINS? IMAGINE THAT.

[LAUGHTER]

ARIEL, HOW DO YOU SUDDENLY KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT HUMANS?

I, UH-- I KINDA, SORTA WENT TO THE SURFACE.

-YOU WHAT? -IF I HADN'T,

I WOULDN'T HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE THINGAMAJIGGERS.

IF WE COULD LEARN MORE ABOUT HUMANS--

HUMANS ARE DANGEROUS, ARIEL.

LOOK AT THE DAMAGE THEIR THINGAMAJIGGER DID.

ACTUALLY, YOUR MAJESTY,

YOUR TRIDENT DID THIS PARTICULAR DAMAGE.

WELL... WHATEVER.

FOR NOW, JUST GET RID OF THOSE THINGAMAJIGGERS.

STOP WORRYING, SEBASTIAN.

NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW THEY'RE HERE.

OH, ARIEL...

IF THE KING EVER FIND OUT YOU'RE COLLECTING HUMAN THINGS,

I'M GONNA BE CRAB CAKES.

-DEEP-FRIED CRAB CAKES. -[LAUGHTER]

DEEP-TRIDENT-FRIED CRAB CAKES.

AND THAT'S IF I'M LUCKY!
