[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

YES, MY TALENTED ART STUDENTS,

EXPRESS YOURSELVES!

REACH OUT WITH YOUR IMAGINATIONS!

BE BOLD! BE BRAVE!

BE--OOH!

NOT THAT BRAVE, FLOUNDER.

OH...ARIEL,

I SEE YOUR STATUE OF A SQUARE ROCK

IS COMING ALONG JUST FINE.

AH, SEBASTIAN, I CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO MAKE.

WELL, PERHAPS YOU NEED INSPIRATION.

GO OUT INTO THE KINGDOM

AND FIND SOMETHING THAT EXCITES YOU.

OH, GREAT.

I'LL LOOK FOR A NEW, FRESH IDEA.

YES!

EH, YOU COULD USE SOME INSPIRATION, TOO, FLOUNDER.

TODAY, SON, WE BEGIN YOUR LESSONS IN EVIL.

ZAPPERS!

I WANT TO BE JUST AS ROTTEN AS YOU ARE, POPSIE.

UM...I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE, LITTLE EVIL,

PUH-LEASE DON'T CALL ME--[SOB]--POPSIE.

SORRY, POPSIE.

[HUMMING A SONG]

LET'S BEGIN TODAY'S LESSON

WITH EVIL GLARING.

? DOO DEE DOT BOOP DOO DEE-- ?

UH-OH.

NYAH HA HA HA HA!

HAH. A LITTLE EVIL MANTA.

HEY, DON'T YOU GLARE AT ME.

OH, GO AHEAD. TRY TO SCARE ME.

AAH!

THIS EVIL STUFF'S GONNA BE EASY!

NOTHING WRONG WITH A PARENT

HELPING HIS KID WITH HIS HOMEWORK.

OH, I CAN'T THINK OF A SINGLE THING

FOR MY ART CLASS PROJECT.

YOU COULD MAKE A STATUE OF A LITTLE YELLOW FISH.

I WANNA MAKE SOMETHING...WILD.

SOMETHING NO ONE IN ATLANTICA HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.

YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH NOW

TO ENTER MY CHAMBER OF EVIL.

SOMEDAY, ALL OF THIS WILL BE YOURS.

AH, THE JAR OF SCREAMS.

[SCREAMING]

THE RING OF FEAR.

[HISS]

AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL...

THE EVIL EYE.

IT'S HOW YOU FIND GOOD THINGS

THE NEED EVIL ATTENTION, RIGHT?

YES.

EVIL, EVIL, EVIL EYE,

SHOW ME THINGS I MUST DESTROY.

UGH! TOO EASY!

EW! TOO TRIVIAL.

HA HA! HA HA!

HEY, THEY'RE LAUGHING KINDA...DIFFERENT.

YOU LAUGH... HAH HAH HAH!

AND THEY LAUGH... HEE HEE HEE!

WHAT DOES IT MEAN, POPSIE?

UM, NOTHING, IT MEANS NOTHING, SON.

WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY WITH SOMEONE'S MIND.

DADDY HAS TO GO TO WORK.

[CHILDREN GIGGLING]

ART SURE IS FUNNY, ISN'T IT, FLOUNDER.

FUNNY?

IF YOU THINK TOO HARD ABOUT IT, NOTHING COMES OUT.

I GUESS I SHOULD JUST RELAX AND LET INSPIRATION COME TO ME.

[CAT SCREAMING]

HA HA HA!

[ROWR]

IT'S AN EVIL MANTA.

BUT HE'S...LITTLE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN A LITTLE ONE BEFORE.

ME, EITHER.

YOU DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S A BIG EVIL MANTA AROUND?

[ARIEL] HEY, STOP THAT! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT

IF SOMEONE PULLED YOUR TAIL?

JUST LET 'EM TRY!

HMM.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO SCHOOL?

NAH. MY DAD TEACHES ME EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH US IN ATLANTICA?

I WANT YOU TO MODEL FOR MY ART CLASS SCULPTURE.

NO ONE'S EVER MADE A STATUE OF A MANTA,

ESPECIALLY A BABY ONE.

BABY?

YOU'RE ASKING FOR AN EVIL GLARE!

AIEEEE!

[GIGGLING]

AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF ME?

NAH.

WELL, YOU SHOULD BE.

I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS SCHOOL.

I HEAR IT'S A REALLY GOOD PLACE TO MAKE TROUBLE,

BE REALLY BAD.

SOUNDS GREAT! CAN'T WAIT!

I WON'T HAVE NO EVIL MANTAS IN MY CLASS!

NOT EVEN LITTLE EVIL MANTAS, MAN.

BUT SEBASTIAN, WHAT ABOUT THAT FAMOUS SAYING,

"ALL T'INGS HAVE A RIGHT TO LEARN"?

WHO SAID THAT?

YOU DID, SEBASTIAN.

OH, MAN.

THERE I GO, SHOOTING OFF MY BIG CRUSTACEAN MOUTH AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT, YOU LITTLE EVIL MANTA,

YOU CAN BE IN MY ART CLASS, BUT YOU MUST PARTICIPATE.

ZAPPERS! SOUNDS GREAT! CAN'T WAIT!

WHAT'S "PARTICIPATE"?

IT MEANS, YOUNG MANTA, YOU MUST BECOME AN ARTIST, TOO.

HERE. TAKE THIS PAINTBRUSH AND USE THE PAINT TO...

PAINT SOMETHING.

MMM-MMM.

VERY GOOD.

GOOD? I'M NOT GOOD!

I'M EVIL, JUST LIKE MY DAD.

[CRASH] HEY!

LIKE MY DAD ALWAYS SAYS,

[DEEP VOICE] HA HA HA!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, TEACH?

YOU BLEW IT, MAN.

NOW GET OUT OF MY CLASS!

AAH!

LITTLE EVIL! WAIT!

WAIT FOR WHAT?

AW, COME ON. APOLOGIZE TO SEBASTIAN.

YOU KNOW, HE CAN TEACH YOU WONDERFUL THINGS.

MY DAD'LL TEACH ME WHAT EVIL MANTAS NEED TO KNOW.

I COULD TEACH YOU TO DRAW WITH YOUR TAIL.

NAH.

REALLY?

SHOO! YOU LITTLE EVIL MANTA!

SCHOOL IS OUT FOR YOU, MAN!

AW, COME ON, SEBASTIAN.

WON'T YOU GIVE LITTLE EVIL A SECOND CHANCE?

NO! NEVER!

NEVER! NEVER IN A MILLION TIDES!

OH, YOU'VE GOT A BIG HEART, SEBASTIAN.

OKAY, OKAY, DON'T GET ALL MUSHY.

THE KID'S GOT TALENT, FROM THE SCALES ON HIS HEAD

TO THE TIP OF HIS TAIL.

WELL, I GOTTA GO. POPSIE WANTS ME HOME BEFORE DARK.

HOW SWEET.

SO WE CAN HAUNT YOU, GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES!

BOGGLEY-BOGGLEY!

AAH! I TOLD YOU TO STOP THAT!

HE'LL BE BACK.

OF COURSE HE WILL.

OLD SEBASTIAN HAS TO SUFFER FOR HIS ART.

WHAT A MISERABLE DAY AT WORK.

"GO AWAY, EVIL MANTA."

"WE'RE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU, EVIL MANTA."

IF I HEAR THAT AGAIN, I'M GONNA SCREAM!

WERE YOU A BAD BOY TODAY, SON?

[YAWNS]

THE WORST, POPSIE.

I'M SO PROUD.

TUCK ME IN, PLEASE?

NOW, LITTLE EVIL,

IS THAT ANY WAY TO TALK TO YOUR FATHER?

OH, SORRY.

WAAH! TUCK ME IN!

TUCK ME IN, OR I'LL DESTROY THIS WHOLE CAVE!

AHH! AW, IS IT ANY WONDER MY HEART MELTS?

? GO TO SLEEP ?

? MY ROTTEN LITTLE RAY ?

? AND DREAM OF DARK AND EVIL DEEDS ?

? FOR INSTANCE, WOULDN'T IT BE FUN ?

? TO SCATTER SCALLOPS WITH A GLARE? ?

? MAKE THE GRUNION RUN ?

? AROUND THE LION FISH'S LAIR? ?

ALWAYS MY FAVORITE WHEN I WAS A KID.

? TIME TO HIT THE SACK ?

? MY BROODING LITTLE BRAT ?

? FOR ONE DAY ?

? YOU'LL BE FEARED FROM SEA TO SEA ?

? WHEN YOU'RE WORST, YOU'RE AT YOUR BEST ?

? CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU NEED YOUR REST ?

? IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO BE ?

? JUST LIKE ME ?

IT'LL TAKE A LITTLE PRACTICE, OF COURSE.

? YOU'RE THE MOST DEPLORABLE ?

? HORRIBLY ADORABLE ?

? MANTA THAT A DADDY'S EVER SEEN ?

? HAVE A REAL BAD NIGHT ?

? GIVE THOSE BEDDY BUGS A FRIGHT ?

? IT'S DELIGHTFUL WHEN YOU'RE SPITEFUL ?

? I'M SO PROUD, I WANT TO SCREAM! ?

I LOVE A LULLABY.

? REST YOUR WINGS, MY PRECOCIOUS LITTLE PUCK ?

? RELAX IN PEACEFUL MISERY ?

? DRIFT AWAY AND PRETTY SOON-A ?

? YOU'LL BE TERRORIZING TUNA ?

? JUST REMEMBER, BEING WICKED IS THE KEY ?

? IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO BE ?

? JUST LIKE ME ?

I'M GONNA MAKE YOU THE MEANEST KID ON THE OCEAN FLOOR.

ART?

MY SON, DABBLING IN SOMETHING GOOD, LIKE...

ART?

GRRR!

IT'S THAT LITTLE MERMAID!

HUH?

[SNARLING]

[LITTLE EVIL] WAAH! I WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!

I WANNA GO TO SCHOOL!

NOW DON'T TRY TO CHARM ME WITH WICKED BEHAVIOR,

LITTLE EVIL.

HANGING AROUND WITH THAT LITTLE MERMAID IS,

W-WELL, IT'S NOT BAD.

BUT I LIKE ART, POPSIE,

AND ARIEL SAID I HAD A GOOD IMAGINATION.

I KNEW IT!

THAT LITTLE MERMAID IS PUTTING GOOD THOUGHTS

INTO YOUR EVIL LITTLE HEAD.

GRRR...GO TO YOUR ROOM!

I'LL DEAL WITH THAT MERMAID IN MY OWN WAY.

[TEETH CHATTERING]

EVIL MANTA, HEH, YOU SENT FOR ME?

MY SON WANTS THIS LETTER DELIVERED

TO THAT LITTLE MERMAID.

THE ONE WITH THE RED HAIR AND ALL THE GOOFY LITTLE FRIENDS?

THE SAME.

AND, MOREY, MAKE IT QUICK.

SEE THAT GUY OVER THERE? THAT'S ME GOING OVER THAT DISTANT HILL.

[GRUMBLING]

I'LL STOP THAT MERMAID FROM MESSING WITH MY SON'S MIND.

[SNARLING]

IF ANYONE'S GONNA BE MESSING WITH MINDS,

IT'S GONNA BE ME!

AHH, BRAIN SPONGE,

HAVE A NICE NAP?

I THIRST. [SLURP]

I THIRST FOR A BRAIN...

[SLURP] YUM YUM YUM!

TO DRAIN.

YES, WELL, I HAVE SOMEONE IN...MIND,

SOMEONE RIPE FOR YOUR THIRST.

YOU WILL SOAK UP HER THOUGHTS

AND IMAGINATION.

I THIRST FOR THOUGHTS!

[SLURP]

I THIRST FOR...IMAGINATION.

IMAGINE THAT! HEH HEH HEH!

HA HA HA HA HA!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

BELIEVE IT, ARIEL.

LOOK YOU CAN SEE WHERE HIS HOT LITTLE TAIL

DID ALL THE DAMAGE.

THAT LITTLE EVIL MANTA DESTROYED OUR ART CLASS.

HE REALLY IS EVIL,

JUST LIKE HIS DAD.

THERE'S GOOD INSIDE LITTLE EVIL.

I CAN FEEL IT. HE JUST NEEDS--

A CHANCE?

WE GAVE HIM TOO MANY CHANCES ALREADY, ARIEL.

I DON'T EVER WANNA SEE HIS TAIL HERE AGAIN!

[SIGH] I UNDERSTAND.

OH, LITTLE MERMAID, I GOTTA LETTER FOR YA

FROM, UH... LITTLE EVIL MANTA.

THANKS, MOREY.

HUH.

LITTLE EVIL WANTS ME TO MEET HIM TONIGHT

AT COBRA CAVE.

LITTLE EVIL MANTA?

UM, YOU IN HERE?

IT'S ARIEL!

YES, AND IT'S GOING TO BE DELICIOUSLY EVIL

TO CAPTURE HER.

EVIL MANTA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

EVIL, OF COURSE.

AHEM. DON'T GO AWAY.

I'LL RETURN IN NO TIME TO...

TAKE A LOAD... OFF YOUR MIND.

HA HA HA HA HA!

HA HA HA...

HA HA HA HA HA!

LITTLE EVIL, UM, YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING.

I DON'T WANNA HURT ARIEL.

WHAT? HAS THAT MERMAID TURNED YOU INTO A GOODY-GOODY?

GO TO YOUR ROOM!

COME, MY EVIL BRAIN SPONGE.

WE HAVE BRAINS...TO SPONGE.

HA HA HA HA!

[SNARL]

I NEED THIS MERMAID'S IMAGINATION! MUST HAVE!

HA HA HA!

[STRAINING]

[EVIL MANTA CHUCKLING]

OH, IT'S NO USE.

[GASPS]

LITTLE EVIL!

ARIEL! I'VE COME TO RESCUE YOU.

YOU DIDN'T WRITE ME THIS LETTER, DID YOU, LITTLE EVIL.

MY DAD MUSTA DONE IT.

WOW. I'LL NEVER BE AS EVIL AS HE IS.

I'VE GOTTA SAVE YOU FROM THAT BRAIN SPONGE!

BRAIN SPONGE?

I KNOW I'M DOING... A GOOD THING,

BUT PLEASE DON'T TELL MY DAD.

OH, YOU'VE GOT IT!

I LIKE YOU, ARIEL.

I DON'T WANT THE BRAIN SPONGE

TO SOAK UP YOUR IMAGINATION.

ME, EITHER!

[BRAIN SPONGE] I THIRST FOR IMAGINATION!

[SLURP]

OH! IT'S YOUR DAD!

AND THAT'S GOTTA BE HIS FAMOUS BRAIN SPONGE.

LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!

I KNOW WHERE WE CAN HIDE!

TIME FOR DINNER, BRAIN SPONGE.

HOPE YOU LIKE MERMAID MIND--

[SNARL]

SHE'S GONE!

WE MUST FIND HER!

I THIRST FOR IMAGINATION!

[SLURP]

THIS VALLEY IS FILLED WITH OCTOPUS INK.

THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO HID FROM MY DAD.

OH, I USED THAT WORD "GOOD" AGAIN.

AW, LITTLE EVIL, YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF BEING GOOD.

MY DAD DOESN'T WANT ME TO BE GOOD.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE.

[BRAIN SPONGE SLURPING]

[LITTLE EVIL] IT'S THE BRAIN SPONGE!

COME ON, HE'LL NEVER FIND US IN THE DARK!

I'M NOT SURE THE DARK

IS THE BEST PLACE TO HIDE FROM EVIL.

COME, BRAIN SPONGE.

FOLLOW THE SCENT OF HER IMAGINATION!

[SLURPING AND SNIFFING]

I THIRST!

I NEED THIS MERMAID'S IMAGINATION!

[SNARLING]

[PANTING]

[PANTING]

OH!

DON'T THEY EVER GET TIRED?

MY DAD'S REALLY STRONG.

OH, THAT BRAIN SPONGE IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, TOO.

WE'LL HIDE UP THERE, WHERE THE CURRENTS SWIRL.

MAYBE THEY'RE GONE.

SON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

YOU'VE BEEN HELPING THAT LITTLE MERMAID, HAVEN'T YOU.

YES.

PROVE TO ME YOU'RE EVIL, SON.

TELL ME WHERE SHE IS.

I...I...

I WON'T TELL YOU.

[SNARL]

WHERE IS HE?

I SMELL IMAGINATION!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

NOW I WILL DRAIN YOUR BRAIN!

WELL, UH, TOO--TOO BAD YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME

O-ON A SMALL IMAGINATION LIKE MINE.

HUH?

WHEN YOU COULD HAVE

THE JUICIEST IMAGINATION OF THEM ALL...

OF SOMEONE WHO THINKS UP ALL THOSE...

EVIL SCHEMES?

UH...I THIRST FOR IMAGINATION.

EVIL IMAGINATION!

HA HA HA HA!

DAD, LOOK OUT!

[EVIL MANTA] LITTLE EVIL! HELP ME!

DAD!

AAH!

UH-OH.

YEOW!

[GROANS]

YOU...

YOU SAVED ME.

NO ONE'S IMAGINATION SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY,

NOT EVEN YOURS.

YOU'RE WELCOME AT SCHOOL ANYTIME, LITTLE EVIL.

JUST GET YOUR DAD'S PERMISSION FIRST.

OH, HE'LL LET ME GO TO SCHOOL

IF HE KNOWS WHAT'S BAD FOR HIM.

HA HA HA HA!
