💬 Can she save the ocean from a marriage no one wants?
02:44Urchin, get back here and comb your hair and brush your teeth
02:57Urchin, watch it
03:00But Ariel, won't getting from way up here to way down there
03:08Involve a lot of
03:10Screaming
03:11Wow, isn't she great?
03:32Oh my, yes
03:34I can't wait to try it myself
03:36Good morning
03:41Your Majesty
03:42Excuse me
03:44I was just on my way to do something very dignified and serious
03:48She's wonderful, isn't she?
03:51She's great
03:52Just great
03:53And perhaps old enough, too
03:55Old enough?
03:57For what?
03:58I'll go to Olympia personally to make the arrangements
04:01Arrangements?
04:02Young Prince Thor and Ariel will be perfect together
04:05The perfect union
04:07Union?
04:09And when I return
04:14I might have a surprise for you, Ariel
04:17But Daddy, the Olympians are brutal and warlike
04:21I know
04:22But they've never really been to war
04:25Besides, I have my trusty trident
04:28All right, lads
04:30Bye, daddy
04:36I love you
04:37Bye, your highness
04:38Goodbye
04:39Goodbye
04:40Have a good trip, your majesty
04:44Yes
04:45And thank you for not asking me to go with you
04:50That Olympia is a horrible place
04:52Sebastian?
04:55What's a union?
04:56A union?
04:57Well, it's usually a marriage
05:00What?
05:01King Triton's going to Olympia to arrange a marriage
05:04Marriage?
05:05The king?
05:06The king wouldn't be getting married without consulting me
05:13Not him
05:15Ariel!
05:16Ariel!
05:18Oh, Urchin
05:19That's the silliest thing I've ever heard
05:22Yeah
05:23I told him
05:24But he did
05:25The king's arranging a marriage
05:26For you
05:27With the prince of Olympia, no less
05:29Father would never do that
05:32Oh, don't worry, Urchin
05:35Daddy has six older daughters to marry off first
05:38Maybe he's starting at the bottom
05:44There's no question, Augustus
05:51Your son, Thor
05:52And my daughter, Ariel
05:53Would make a perfect pair
05:55In the Aquabatics competition
05:58At this year's Sea Games
05:59Hmm
06:00Our two nations have never had such a partnership
06:03It might help keep the peace between us
06:06Olympians prefer war
06:08Yet you've never really had a war
06:12True
06:13Now let us discuss this peace idea of yours over lunch
06:17I'm not going to risk my chances in the Sea Games
06:20And some Atlantican princess
06:21I'm going to go see if she's as good at Aquabatics
06:23As her father says
06:24Ho, Gnasher
06:30On Crusher
06:31I'm telling you, Urchin
06:39Nobody is going to marry Ariel
06:41Oh, well, thank you very much, Sebastian
06:44What I mean is
06:45Nobody is going to come here from Olympia
06:48Announcing his royal highness
06:50Prince Thor of Olympia
06:53I'm here for Princess Ariel
06:55I told you so
06:56You can't have her
06:58Well, you're pretty enough
07:02And you are more than arrogant enough
07:05What does arrogant mean?
07:06It means snooty
07:07Stuck up
07:08Really no fun at all
07:10Oh, good
07:11That she doesn't like it
07:12Look
07:13This isn't my idea
07:14Now I suppose you're going to tell me
07:17My father arranged it
07:18Yes, he did
07:20See
07:21Yes
07:22I see
07:23Obviously, there's been a terrible misunderstanding
07:27Or somebody's playing a big joke
07:30Well, I obey my father
07:32If he says we are to be partners
07:34Then it shall be so
07:36Thor
07:40What kind of name is that?
07:42He is royalty
07:43We must treat him with respect
07:45With dignity
07:47Sebastian, this is ridiculous
07:49I'm too young to get married
07:51When daddy gets home, he'll
07:53He'll be most upset you haven't assaulted the prince
07:55All right
07:57Invite him to dinner
07:59And maybe by then you can teach him some manners
08:04Urgent, you find the prince
08:07And I'll see you to dinner
08:15It's bad enough he came to Atlantica
08:18But he brought sharks too
08:20No, we must stay, Gnasher
08:22We may be spending a great deal of time here
08:25So we better get used to it
08:26I hope he hates it here
08:28We don't want this prince taking Ariel away, do we?
08:37That's right
08:37I don't know
08:38Then do what I told you
08:40And he'll want to leave on the next tide
08:42Here he comes
08:44Say, Thor
08:45Ariel wants you to join her for dinner
08:47I knew she'd come around
08:50Yeah
08:51But you'd really impress her
08:53If you knew some of our customs
08:55Very well
08:56Teach me these quaint customs of yours
08:59Well, in Atlantica
09:01You have to pet an electric eel
09:02Before every meal
09:04To work up an appetite
09:12Atlanticans always wrestle an octopus before dinner
09:15It's okay
09:23We always take a bath before dinner
09:25A mud bath
09:26And during dinner
09:38You must always wear a worm on your head
09:40And in Atlantica
09:42Guests are always expected to paint their hair orange
09:45I should warn you
09:47That hair dye has a tendency to attract dogfish
09:50Dogfish?
09:51Dogfish?
09:53We did it
09:55Ha ha, piece of cake
09:57So, we must be very careful not to insult the prince
10:04I know, Sebastian, but
10:06Atlantica is a terrible place
10:10Oh, really?
10:14Then I guess you'll want to leave
10:15And never see me again
10:18No
10:18Our union is too important to our nations
10:20Be ready to leave on the low tide
10:22I'm taking you to Olympia
10:24Oh, I can't believe he thinks I'm gonna marry him
10:39If we follow my plan
10:53He won't even want to be in the same ocean with you
10:55He's the prince of Olympia
10:57We can't be making him any smarter than he already is
11:00Four might not believe me again
11:02So I'll need Sebastian's help
11:05What is taking her so long?
11:17When the tide is low
11:18When the tide is low, Ariel is even lower
11:21And the tide is unusually low today
11:25Oh, I feel so miserable when it's low tide
11:31This is nothing
11:35She really gets silly when the grunion are running
11:38Uh-oh
11:45There goes some grunion now
11:47Being around this all day
11:54Gonna make you wanna live on land, man
11:56Worst of all is when she flips out
11:59Yeah, but don't worry
12:00That only happens when two giant squid swim by doing the tango
12:04And how often does that happen?
12:24She's flipping out
12:25Now I understand
12:30Uh, you do?
12:31All too clearly
12:32You think she's too good for me
12:34That's about what we had in mind
12:36Home gnasher
12:38Home crusher
12:39You know, Olympia holds all the records for Trident Toss
13:06Would you care to try your hand?
13:23It would be my pleasure
13:36Are we going to throw Tridents or are you going to fool around?
13:51Father
13:51Princess Ariel and her friends attacked me
13:55What?
13:56Ariel?
13:57I don't understand
13:58They hit me with mud and made Dogfish chase me
14:01My Ariel would never do such a thing
14:04You call my son a liar
14:07If the tale fits
14:09Leave Olympia
14:10Any thought of peace between us is impossible
14:13We'll show them they can't insult a prince of Olympia
14:22Oh, Father
14:23What do you intend to do?
14:24And Thor said you attacked him
14:32When he told you you were to be partners in the Sea Games
14:35Games
14:37You and Thor could have won that event
14:40It would have been a perfect union
14:42There's no wedding?
14:45Wedding?
14:46Of course, there's no wedding
14:48Where did I get such a silly idea?
14:50Father, I think there's something you should know
14:59Olympia, it's a great war on Atlantica
15:01What?
15:02The Olympian
15:19The Olympian
15:32have finally found a reason to go to war.
15:35Father, I...
15:36Not now. Get down.
15:41I've been waiting for years to try this.
15:45Fire!
15:58Oh, man!
16:00There was almost a crash grab.
16:01We have to stop this.
16:03You take care of Flounder and Sebastian.
16:06Be careful, Ariel.
16:20Fire!
16:20Fire!
16:31Fire!
16:34Fire!
16:34You, here?
16:53Thor, it was all a terrible misunderstanding.
16:56I apologize.
16:57Now stop this silly war before someone gets hurt.
17:04It's Ariel.
17:07Thor's captured her.
17:11Urchin, come back!
17:19Urchin!
17:21No!
17:22Oh no!
17:23What have I done?
17:25Father, stop the shelling!
17:27Cease fire!
17:29Cease fire!
17:34Urchin?
17:37Ariel.
17:38You can't go away.
17:40He can't go away.
18:10What's wrong with everybody?
18:26Urchin, why have you bothered to return to Atlantica?
18:31Since Ariel left, this place has been no fun at all, man.
18:35The king hasn't signed a proclamation in years.
18:38There's no dancing, no singing.
18:41And Flounder has become the juvenile delinquent fish.
18:45This is terrible.
18:49I'm going to find her and bring her back.
18:52Hang it up, man.
18:54Ariel is never coming back.
18:57Never coming back.
18:59No, what am I going to do?
19:01Never coming back.
19:08Ariel!
19:10Ariel!
19:18Ariel!
19:21Can't go away.
19:22Can't go away.
19:23Oh, I'm not going away.
19:26Don't worry.
19:27Ariel?
19:28The Merboy was only stunned.
19:33Perhaps peace between us isn't such a bad idea, Augustus.
19:37Agreed, Triton.
19:39And war is a bad idea.
19:43Can you believe it?
19:44Can you believe it?
19:45I caused a war.
19:48I was just so scared you'd leave and never come back, Ariel.
19:51I was scared I'd lose the first real friend I ever had.
19:54Oh, Urchin.
19:55No matter what happens, our friendship is forever.
20:00That Ariel, she's got a heart as big as the whole ocean.
20:05Yeah, it's big enough to love her father and me and Urchin and that big old octopus and all the squids and jellyfish and turtles, great big whales and little tiny starfish.
20:20Yes, I didn't hear no crab in there.
20:22Oh, and of course Ariel loves you, Sebastian.
20:24That's much better.
20:25Maybe we can be partners after all.
20:29Maybe.
20:30In the Sea Games.
20:31And now, to conclude this year's Sea Games, Princess Ariel of Atlantica and Prince Thor of Olympia will perform next Aquabatics.
