The land and the sea
My precious Melody...
I'm giving you this locket...
so that you will never forget
that part of your heart...
will always belong to the sea.
Melody!
- A party!
- Ursula's crazy sister!
I didn't miss the cake
and ice cream, did I?
Morgana!
Surrender the baby, or I'll...
Ursula would have simply
loved to have come...
but something came up.
Now-Now, what was it?
Oh, yes.
You all shish-kebabbed her!
One minute you're on top,
the next you're sushi.
Now, is that fair, gramps?
I ask you.
But then, whoever said
we had to play fair?
Oh, Undertow!
Make way, little mershrimp!
I'm comin' through!
Now hand over the trident,
or your precious granddaughter...
will be shark chow!
You can have
anything you want.
Just don't harm
little Melody.
Well, well.
I get the trident...
avenge poor,
unfortunate Ursula...
and gain all the powers
of the ocean!
And it's not even : .
Not a bad morning.
Hit the deck!
Melody!
What have you done to me?
Look at me!
I'm an anchovy!
This isn't the end, Triton!
It's just the beginning!
After her!
You'll never find me,
but I'll find you...
and your precious granddaughter!
We shall not rest until
that madwoman is vanquished!
Find her! Find her!
I'm sorry. There is no sign of her.
She's vanished.
We'll keep trying. We'll...
Sweetie, no.
Oh, we've got to keep
Melody away from her.
Until Morgana is found,
Melody can't go in the sea.
- And neither will I.
- But, Ariel...
I'm sorry, Flounder.
But if Morgana is anything like Ursula,
she'll never give up.
This is the only way.
Melody can't know about
merpeople or Atlantica...
or even you, Daddy.
Very well, Ariel.
You're right.
Sebastian,
you will watch over her.
Me? Aww!
Melody?
Melody?
Oh, Carlotta,
have you seen Melody?
Not since this morning,
Your Majesty.
Louis, Melody's not in here,
is she?
No, Your Highness,
but her birthday cake is.
Twelve petite candles.
Whoo-eee! This is gonna be
some kind of shindig.
Yes, sir, a real swanky soiree,
as they say.
There's just one thing missin':
The guest of honour!
"Sebastian, you watch
over her," he said.
I'm too old for this!
A crab my age should be retired,
getting a tan...
playing sea golf...
sipping a tuna colada!
Not baby-sitting
another teenager.
Melody!
Hey, Scuttle. Hey, Sebastian.
What's kickin'?
Uh, what's kickin'?
Hmm. L-Let me see.
Don't rush me.
Ha! You know perfectly well
what's kicking!
Now, come along.
You gonna be late for the...
Sorry, Sebastian.
Melody, child, how many times
do I have to tell you?
It is expressly forbidden
for you to be swimming...
- beyond the safety of the sea wall.
- Beyond the safety of the sea wall.
Any such swimmin' is a reckless
disregard of da rules...
don't ya know?
Stop dat.
Oh, Sebastian,
I can't help it.
I just love the sea!
Hey! Come back here!
You're just like...
like your mother.
Hi, Melody.
Trust me!
This time I'm sure
I've got it right.
Yeah, that's what you said last time,
and I was sore for a week.
Oh, stop your carping
and stand still.
Oh, this is gonna hurt.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Uh-oh.
Oh, it's just no use.
The power of the trident is just
too strong for me to overcome.
I bet Ursula could've done it.
What was that you said?
Nothin'.
I'm just sayin'...
Stop criticizing me!
That's all my mother ever did
was criticize me!
It was always "Ursula this"
or "Ursula that"...
or, "Morgana, why can't you be
more like your sister...
Ursula!"
Well, it isn't Ursula's fault
I got miniaturized.
- It's yours!
- Is not!
Your fault that we had to hide out here
for frostbitten years.
- Is not!
- Your fault that we can never show
our faces in polite society again!
You're really pushing it,
small fry.
- It's the locket!
- It's the locket!
This is just the kind of
break in the ice we've been waiting for.
When Ariel's
innocent little daughter...
uncovers the secret
of that locket...
she's going to have
lots of questions.
And who'll be right there
with all the answers?
- We will.
- Exactly!
She'll be the perfect tool
for Triton's undoing.
And I'll get to be big again.
Finally I'll succeed at
the one thing my sister never could.
- Really, really big again!
- Total domination of the seas!
I'll be huge!
Melody, please.
If your mother ever found out
you'd been swimming out here...
I know, I know.
She'd flip.
I had a thought here.
Now, where'd it go?
Hey, Sebastian...
what's my mom
got against the ocean anyway?
I mean, how could there be
anything wrong with something so...
wonderful?
You know what?
Sometimes I even pretend
I have fins.
I wish I could
tell my mom how I feel.
But she'd never understand.
I can talk to crabs,
but not to her.
Wait a minute.
It just hit me.
How 'bout you tell Ariel...
how you really feel?
Oh, yes, by all means.
Just waltz right in
and tell her you been out here...
swimming in the ocean!
- We could all just have a big party.
- The party!
Say, that reminds me
of somethin'.
- Whoa!
- Oh, Your-Your Highness.
Sorry. My fault.
I gotta go. Can't go to
the party without shoes.
If you ask me,
she's a little strange.
I heard she actually
talks to fish.
It should make for
an interesting party.
I miss you, Daddy.
I wish you could
be here with us.
Mother?
What are you doing?
Uh, nothing.
L-I'll be right up!
Melody?
I'm ready.
Here. Let me help.
So, we're having
a bad hair day.
If we were, you wouldn't
be helping, would you?
Well, I'm just here to let you know
there are a lot of people downstairs...
Oh, we'll be right down.
Give us two minutes.
Right, two...
Now where have I heard that before?
Mom, put down the brush.
It's hopeless.
Oh. You look beautiful.
Do I have to do this?
Everybody thinks I'm weird.
Oh, honey, everyone has trouble
fitting in at your age.
I know I did.
I was a regular
fish out of water.
You? No way.
I'm just so afraid I'm gonna
make a total fool of myself.
Melody, this isn't
just about the party...
is it?
Is there something
you want to talk about?
You know you can always
tell me anything.
Well, okay.
I mean, it's kind of crazy
and sort of impossible.
Now, don't freak,
but what I dream about...
more than anything
in the whole world...
How's it coming?
Oh, Melody.
Is that you?
You look beautiful.
He's right.
Now, we'll talk later.
You're going to have a wonderful
time tonight. Trust me.
May I present
Her Royal Highness...
Princess Melody.
Oh, yeah. Mom's right.
I can do this.
Um, hi.
Would you like to dance?
Go on.
Sure. Okay.
- Oh, no!
- That's it.
I'm booking meself
on a cruise.
- I'm so sorry.
- Well, I should say!
- Are you okay, Sebastian?
- So.
Who is she talking to?
She's talking to a crab!
You!
Saboteur!
You're going
in ze bouillabaisse!
No, Louis!
You don't wanna do this, man!
I'm old!
I'm not tender any more!
No!
Melody!
Death to the crab!
Oh, Louis!
Oh, sweetheart,
I'm so sorry.
- What's wrong with me?
- Oh, nothing's wrong with you.
Mom, I'm the princess of disaster.
Being a teenager i-is hard,
and, uh...
all kids your age feel...
a-awkward.
- And, um...
- Melody?
What is this?
My name's on here.
That song.
Where have I heard it?
It's Atlantica.
With merpeople and everything.
Mother, you always said
it was just an old fish tale.
Where did you get this?
L... I found it.
You went over the wall,
didn't you?
Actually, I went under it.
I hate that stupid wall.
Melody, you know you're
not allowed in the sea.
But why? And why does
that necklace have my name on it?
- Melody, listen to me.
- You're hiding something from me.
Y-You deliberately disobeyed me!
I never want you going out there again!
Do you hear me?
It's dangerous in the sea!
How would you know?
You've never even been in it!
M-Melody, l...
Oh, no.
Ariel, darling...
we knew this day would come.
Oh, Eric.
You're right. It's time
I trusted her with the truth.
Oh, now, child,
it's gonna be okay.
You know,
when I was a teenager...
you couldn't get me
out of my shell for nothin'.
I had this high,
squeaky voice...
and these itty-bitty
little pincers.
And then one day, boom!
I sound like Caruso...
and these whoppers pop out!
Young lady, just where
do you think you're going?
I've gotta figure this out.
This necklace means something...
and if no one's gonna tell me...
I'm gonna find out myself.
Melody, please!
You're making a big mistake!
Oh, this is delicious.
This is divine!
Let's go, flatsos.
Hurry, Undertow.
There's a little girl out there
who needs our help.
All right, Sebastian,
you must remain calm.
This is not your fault.
All you have to do is
go in there and calmly explain...
that Melody has run away.
No reason to lose your head.
Whatever you do...
you absitively,
positutely...
must not panic.
- Melody!
- Melody's gone! Melody's gone!
- Melody's gone!
- Sebastian? Well,
what are you doing here?
All my fault!
I tried to stop her!
I don't deserve to live!
Gone? Gone where?
Out. Out to the sea.
What do you mean?
Where could she be going?
To Morgana's.
And she can tell me what this locket
means, why it has my name on it?
Oh, sure, kid.
Morgana's the best.
She'll help ya.
Okay. Then let's go.
Angel face,
meet the one and only...
Morgana.
Oh, welcome, my precious.
Oh, don't be shy.
Come in.
Come in out of the cold.
Sit, sit.
Put your feet up.
Hungry? Afraid all I have
is a cold plate.
Smelt-cicle? Kelp chip?
Hush guppy?
Uh, no, thank you.
I was hoping you could
tell me about this pendant...
why it has my name on it.
My mother wouldn't tell me.
She just doesn't understand.
Oh, you're not the only one with
a mother who doesn't understand you.
Believe me,
I know just how you feel.
Dear child,
did you ever consider...
that it has
your name on it...
because it has
your destiny in it?
Oh, deep down...
you know you weren't
meant to be a lowly human.
What you are is something...
far more enchanting.
A mermaid?
But it's not possible.
Darling, anything's possible.
You can turn me into a mermaid?
Piece of fish cake, honey.
Lots of luck.
Ursula's magic?
Where'd you get that?
I've been saving it
for a special occasion.
One drop of this and,
bada-bing, bada-boom!
You're in fin city! Whee!
- Really?
- Come, my darling.
Your destiny awaits you.
I don't believe it!
I'm a mermaid.
Say it loud, say it proud!
I'm a mermaid!
You had this all along.
You coulda changed me back.
Why, I oughta...
Keep your scales on,
small fry.
I'm still reeling her in.
Oh, Daddy, I'm so worried.
Everything's going to be
all right, Ariel.
We have search parties
scouring the ocean.
I'm going to join them now myself.
- Ariel, maybe you should go with him.
- But, Eric...
I need to stay here
and lead the search on land.
But you know these waters...
and you know our daughter.
- You have to go.
- It may be dangerous.
Eric's right, Daddy.
I should have known I couldn't keep
Melody from the sea. It's a part of her.
And a part of me.
I have to go.
Bring her home.
What a totally cool feeling!
Oh, excuse me.
I'm so sorry, ma'am.
Okay, get a grip
Get the hang of this flipper
It's like slipping two feet
into one big, huge slipper
This way is left
Which way is right
Oh, now I'll be circling
in circles all night
Oh, so this is forward
No problem
I can't believe
I can do this and more
To swim in the sea
like I walk on the shore
Out of my shell
Not closed up like a clam
Look out, sea
This is me
Here I am
For a moment
all of me
Is alive and at home in the sea
I'm swirling and twirling
so graceful and grand
Not stubbing my toes
Getting stuck in the sand
For a moment
life is cool
I'm a splash
in the world's biggest pool
This is more than my thoughts
ever thought it could be
For a moment
Just a moment
Lucky me
If only for one moment
I had shared with you
all I know
The sea wouldn't be
a mystery
Oh, why did you have to go
Everything's newer
and brighter and bluer
And truer to life than before
Watch me soar
For a moment
I can shine
Got a grin
and a fin that works fine
My fingers are wrinkly
and I really don't care
If all of my curls
have curled out of my hair
For a moment
I can feel
All the dreams
I've been dreaming are real
Wish my mother
could hear it
The sea is my song
For a moment
Just a moment
- I belong
- I will find you, my darling
And the moment that I do
I'll hold you close
my Melody
And sing the song of the sea
With you
- Sing the song of the sea
- For a moment, just a moment
- With you
- I belong
Oh, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Oh!
What's the matter?
Oh, I knew this would happen.
One taste, and you're hooked.
Oh, Undertow,
I'm such a failure, such a...
Oh, my precious...
there wasn't enough potion
for this to be a forever spell.
Please.
L-I don't want to go back
to being an ordinary girl.
Isn't there some way
I can stay a mermaid?
Oh, I'm afraid there's
absolutely no possible way.
Well, there is one way.
No. What am I thinking?
It's far too dangerous.
What?
Wh... What's too dangerous?
Well, I could make
the spell last longer...
if I had my magic trident.
Oh, but it was stolen years ago...
by a deranged kleptomaniac...
and there's no one
to get it back for me.
Maybe I could
get it back for you.
You would do that for me?
If I did, would you
make me a mermaid forever?
Even longer, if you like.
Now, here is where
the scoundrel lives.
Atlantica? You mean
it's not just an old fish tale?
- It really exists?
- Of course it exists, dear.
Whoever told you otherwise?
My mother.
Well, I'm sure she didn't mean
to be cruel and deceitful.
Okay, I'll bring back
your trident.
- You can count on me!
- Be careful, dear.
Enjoy those fins!
While you can.
Hmm, let's see.
South to Two Circles Pass...
then, uh, north to...
No, no, um, east...
to, uh, hmm...
My map. It's ruined.
Now how am I gonna
find my way to Atlantica?
Help! Someone, please!
Help! Oh! Oh, hold on, sweetie!
We'll save you!
Help! Mama!
Hurry!
I can't reach her!
Oh! Oh! Somebody help us!
Mightier than a hurricane!
Braver than a killer whale!
Faster than a moray eel!
- It's the fearless adventurers...
- Slash-explorers.
Titanic Tip and
his trusty sidekick Dash!
- Oh, no.
- Not them.
This is it, Dash.
Redemption.
- No, not the walrus.
- Sorry.
- Excuse me.
- Ow!
Oh, was that your face?
We're finally gonna be
heroes for real.
Yeah. They're not gonna
laugh at us any more.
This is too easy.
And a-one, and a-two...
and a shark...
- Shark?
- Shark!
- Goin' up! Goin' up! Goin' up! Goin' up!
- Goin' down.
Get off me!
Well, that wasn't so bad.
Mama!
Another plan perfectly executed.
What did you think
you were doing?
We were just trying to be heroes.
You call abandoning my baby heroic?
You two boys
almost got us all killed.
Oh, yeah,
some fearless heroes.
More like zeroes!
- Hear that? Zeroes!
- That's a good one!
Go ahead.
Laugh your stinkin' tuxedos off.
We'll show you... someday.
Excuse me.
You don't have to be scared of me.
I won't hurt you.
Scared? Who said anything
about bein' scared?
Don't you know an evasive manoeuvre
when you see one?
Hi. I'm Melody.
This here's Tip,
and I'm Dash.
Excuse me, Mr I Spill My Guts
To Total Strangers.
- You just blew our cover!
- I was just trying to be friendly.
Uh, guys, I really
need to get going...
so if you could
just tell me...
See? Now she's gonna leave,
and it's all your fault.
- My fault? She's-She's-She's...
- Guys?
She's probably
allergic to blubber.
Oh, yeah?
Well, maybe she doesn't like
birds that can't fly!
- Guys.
- Well, you can't fly either.
And you walk funny.
- Guys!
- Oh, yeah? Well...
- You can't fly either!
- Guys!
Do either of you know how to get
to Atlantica? I don't have much time.
Why do you want
to go to Atlantica?
I have to get something
that was stolen from a friend.
If I don't,
I'll turn back into...
A what?
Turn back into a what?
A human.
I knew there was something
un-fishy about you.
Tough break, sister.
Drop us a line.
Let us know how
it all turns out.
- We'll take you.
- You will?
- We will?
- She's a damsel in distress.
It's our big chance.
Hoo-boy. I can't believe I'm doin' this.
Somebody stop me.
All right, then, we're in.
On to Atlantica!
Taming the tides
Swarming the seas
Beware, barracudas
Drop to your knees
Defending our friends
and anemones
- As big as a whale
- Hey!
With a much smaller tail
Facing the foe
with our fearless flukes
Daring the dastards
to put up their dukes
Great globs of gore
We'll storm the shore
And seek the unknown
Then can we go home?
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers-slash-explorers
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers-slash-explorers
Our gallant quest to do our best
and smile for our adorers
- We'll save the day
- And make a splash
Titanic Tip
and Daring Dash
We'll clobber those crabs
with their clammy claws
We'll shatter those sharks
with their savagejaws
- The battle is fierce
- And mercifully brief
The conquering heroes return
as kings of the reef
We'll dine with the best
Dressed with a flair
Climb every mountain
Because it's there
Come on, follow me
We'll make history
- To courage, to us
- The trident
Or bust
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers-slash-explorers
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers-slash-explorers
- We'll save the day
- And make a splash
- Melody
- Tip
- And Daring Dash
All for three
and three for one
Atlantica
Here we come
I knew it! It's real!
Atlantica.
That's right, Princess.
Just a little further.
Cloak! Dagger!
Go make sure that no one interferes
with her return, hmm?
Have you heard anything, Daddy?
L-I've been searching everywhere,
but I'd... Flounder!
Daddy!
Now what?
- Sorry.
- Ariel?
- Flounder?
- Ariel!
Oh, I've missed you!
Boy, you're sure not
a guppy any more.
You can say that again.
- Over here!
- Throw it to me!
- Yeah!
- I want it!
Children, what did I say about playing
"kick the clam" on the reef?
- Sorry, Dad.
- Uh, kids.
I'm sorry about Melody.
Flounder,
I really need your help.
Wild sea horses
couldn't stop me.
- Oh, boy!
- Follow me!
- I'm the leader!
- Come on!
It's so beautiful.
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
- Sorry, my...
- Sorry, my fault.
- Fault.
- Hi.
I don't think I've seen you around here.
What's your name?
I'm Mel... Mel...
Hey, guys!
Meet Mel-Mel.
- Hi.
- Hey, you wanna hang out with us?
All right, all right.
Break it up. Break it up!
There's nothing to see here.
Move along.
Come on, Miss Popularity.
We have a previous engagement.
Remember?
Maybe I'll catch you later.
This is what happens when you bring
a country fish to the big city.
Was that a penguin?
Wow!
Nice crib.
Come on. Follow me.
That must be him.
He looks sad.
- He doesn't look like a thief.
- They never do.
Look! There it is!
A fork? We're risking
our tails for a fork?
We haven't time for this!
I want every available
merman searching!
Find her!
Find her!
Dash, if-if this is the end...
I just want you to know, pal...
I'm sorry I said that thing
about the blubber.
Well, I'm sorry
about the fish breath.
Yeah. You didn't
say anything about that.
But I was thinkin' it.
King Triton,
your daughter has returned.
Ooh, that was close.
Oh, sure, that's it. Take your time.
Kick back. Relax.
Let's all just
linger here and die!
I'm sure she'll turn up soon.
He's coming back!
My necklace!
Ah, don't worry, Ariel.
We'll find her.
Daddy! The trident!
But that's not possible.
Nobody can remove the trident
from the stand except you, sire.
You or one of your descendants.
- Melody.
- Who I was supposed to be watching.
Go ahead, crack me open.
Make a crab cake out of me, sire.
But how could she
have gotten here?
Morgana. If she gets
her hands on my trident...
Double the search parties!
- I want every creature
in the ocean on patrol!
- Yes, sire!
Wait a minute.
I know those two.
It's all my fault.
If I had just paid
a little more attention...
instead of blabbering
on and on and on...
and on and on.
From now on, Your Majesty,
nothing gets past...
Me.
We did it!
All this time...
Atlantica was never
that far away from home.
This is your home?
- It used to be.
- Whoa! What a pad!
Talk about your kerb appeal.
But, uh, what's with the wall?
I know good fences make good
neighbours, but isn't that a bit much?
- Yeah. What you tryin' to keep out?
- It wasn't built to keep something out.
It was built to keep me in.
Come on. Let's go.
You know, kid, the three of us,
we make a pretty good team.
Once you're a permanent mermaid,
we'll be friends forever.
- We'll be inseparable!
- Nothing will ever come between us.
- Shark!
- Run! Run!
No, wait!
It's just...
Leavin' so soon, boys?
What can I say?
When you got it, you got it.
Hey! You got it!
Sweetheart,
you're my new hero.
Let's go.
It's time for some magic.
But... But my friends...
Ha! You mean you call those two
yellow-bellied sea slugs your friends?
Come on!
You wanna be a mermaid, or what?
We got the power.
We got the power.
We got the power!
So there it is.
Swim back as fast as you can and tell
my father. I'll try to find Melody.
Oh, but if that old sea witch
is in there, and then there's
that mean little shark...
and then those manta rays come,
a-and then she takes those-those
creepy tentacles...
so suction cups stick
to your face, and, and...
Uh. Uh-uh. No way you're
goin' in there alone.
But, Flounder,
if we both go...
who's going to tell Daddy
where Morgana's lair is?
Say, what's all the whisperin' about?
Is Melody around here?
- Did you find her yet? If she's...
- Scuttle!
Get down and be quiet.
Wait a minute.
Scuttle can get help.
Scuttle, I need you
to pay very close attention.
We're doomed.
Oh, there you are, darling!
Oh, I was so worried about you.
And look!
You've brought back my trident.
Clever girl.
Give it to her! Give it to her!
Give it to her!
- Hey!
- Forgive him, dear.
He's got a little size issue.
- Now, if you'll just hand over the...
- Melody, don't!
- Mom!
- Don't listen to her!
- You're a mermaid?
- You're a mermaid?
Ariel, how nice of you to come.
And you brought Flopper with you.
The name's Flounder.
"Grrr" yourself, pipsqueak.
Get that thing and hit me!
One bite,
and he's shrimp toast!
Sweetheart,
hand me my trident now.
All this time,
and you never told me?
Kept the most important secret
in her whole life from her own daughter.
Please, give it to me, Melody.
No. Hand it to me.
- It's for your own good.
- She's lying!
I've given you
what you've always wanted.
She's the one who lied to you
all these years.
- I was trying to protect you.
- By fencing me in?
You knew how much
I loved the sea.
Why did you
keep the truth from me?
Melody, listen to me.
If there was one thing in my life
that I could do over, l...
- Too late, Mom.
- Melody, no!
All the power of the seven seas
at my command!
Hello!
Can we get with the programme?
It's still
a small world down here!
Mom!
Your mommy was only trying
to protect you from moi!
What she did,
she did out of...
Iove.
Little Melody's been
a very naughty girl...
stealing from
her own grandfather.
My... My grandfather?
King Triton,
ruler of Atlantica...
commander in chief
of all of the oceans!
Or at least he was, until
a certain little thief came along.
- You tricked me.
- You've got no one to blame
but yourself.
Tell me, Melody.
Is being a mermaid
everything you dreamed?
Was it worth it?
Melody!
Oh, and by the way...
your time as a mermaid
has just about expired.
Catch you later.
I've got bigger fish to fry!
Bigger fish!
Now, there's an idea!
We gotta keep trying.
It's no use.
It's too thick.
Oh, Flounder.
I've ruined everything.
We're guppies, man.
Jellyfish.
The great Tip and Dash.
Cowards-slash-losers.
Well, at least we're alive.
Yeah, if you wanna
call this living.
Okay, on the one hand
we can live a long, healthy life...
albeit as disgusting,
pathetic, cowardly...
- Worms.
- That's good. Good.
Cowardly worms.
On the other hand, we could gather
our courage, if we had any...
and storm the fortress
and be heroes.
Yeah, until they
hack us up into fish bait.
You're right.
Melody's in there.
She could be in big trouble.
She may really need our help!
So what's it gonna be?
A lifetime as worms...
or two minutes as heroes?
All hail Queen Morgana!
I'm hailin'!
I'm hailin'!
Hold on, sweetie!
The cavalry is comin'!
- Ariel!
- Ah!
Prince Eric.
Come to join the party?
We're having a blast!
Oh, how dear Ursula
would have adored this.
Morgana!
King Triton?
Oh, please!
Is that the best you can do?
Release my daughter,
surrender my granddaughter...
and I shall spare you.
Ooh! What you gonna do?
Throw the crab at me?
Face it, Triton.
You're all washed up!
Uh-oh!
I'm gonna be teachin' you
some manners!
Now look at me.
I'm bait!
Oh, yeah!
Look out!
Where's Melody?
What have you done with her?
Oh, you want to join
your daughter?
Well, I think
that can be arranged.
Eric!
You are a very bad lady!
Very bad.
Goin' somewhere, boys?
Um, we're just lookin'
for the little penguin's room.
Well, it's been nice knowin' ya.
Now, that is one brave
hunk of blubber.
I'll hold him!
You go find Melody!
Hurry!
What's... What's happening?
Oh, no! Oh!
- I thought you were gonna hold him!
- I am holding him!
Nice fishy.
Ooh. Big fishy.
Hold on, Melody!
I'm gonna bust us outta here...
if it's the last thing I...
do.
Tip! No! Help!
Another plan
perfectly executed.
- Melody!
- Uh-oh.
Fools!
I have the trident now.
And all the creatures of the sea
are in my power!
I'm the queen of the sea...
and you will
bow down before me!
Oh, this can't be good
for the lower back!
Pathetic fools!
- Watch and see how
utterly powerful I can be!
- Mom!
The end begins
for all of you with fins!
That's it, Triton.
Bow down!
Bow down before me!
No, Your Majesty!
You mustn't!
I'm sorry, Sebastian.
I have no choice.
Oh! Wishes do come true.
See that, Ma?
Who's your favourite now?
It's over, Triton!
I sentence you to oblivion!
You!
Just what do you think
you're going to do...
with that?
Stay back!
Wrong end, sweetheart.
Grandfather?
I think this belongs to you.
No!
Never again will you or yours
threaten my family!
There will be
no escape for you...
ever!
Mommy.
Dad?
Oh, Melody,
I was so afraid we'd lost you.
- I'm sorry, Mother.
- Oh, no, sweetie.
We're sorry.
We should have told you the truth.
I didn't mean to hurt anyone.
I just hoped I'd be
a better mermaid than a girl.
Oh, Melody, sweetie, it doesn't matter
if you have fins or feet.
We love you for
who you are on the inside:
Our very brave little girl.
Just like your mother.
Oh, Grandfather!
Melody, I don't blame you
for wanting to join us merfolk.
And because you're
my granddaughter...
I'm giving you
a most precious gift:
A choice.
You can come to
Atlantica with me...
or you can return
to your home on land.
It's up to you.
I have a better idea.
Now we can all be together!
I feel the music playin'
It's swingin'and it's swayin'
Life is a rhapsody, whoo
Today we're so delighted
Today we're all united
Here on the land and sea
I see the sails are sailing
Even the whales are whaling
We're swimmin'fancy free
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
La-dee-da
Pick up the beat
Move your fins
and move your feet
Life is sweet
Life is grand
Blowing bubbles
with the brass bass band
Everybody now!
Come on in!
There's plenty of water
for everyone!
- There's no more stormy weather
- Now we can sing together
In perfect harmony
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
here on the land and sea
- Those on land sing
- La-dee-dah-doh
- Those below sing
- Lo-dee-doh-doh
Life is sweet
As sweet can be
On the land and on the sea
Everybody sing
Come on, Grimsby, join us.
The water's great!
I think not, sir.
The very idea seems rather absur...
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
- Whoa!
- Sorry.
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
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 everything
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders
can one cavern hold
Looking around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets
and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits
and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs
I've got twenty
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
forjumpin', dancin'
Strollin'along down the...
What's that word again
Street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day
in the sun
Wandering 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
the shore up above
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
