ARIEL: Come along with me To my corner of the sea
Atlantica has so much In store
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
ARIEL: Music never ends
We're surrounded By our friends
There's always something New to explore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We'll use our voices Swimming free
Imagine what we'll find
Come with me!
CHORUS: Ariel, oh, oh, oh
There's so much adventure
CHORUS: Ariel, oh, oh, oh
We'll dive in together
In this sea Full of wonder
Who knows What we'll discover
CHORUS: Ariel, oh, oh, oh
With Ariel
Yeah!
CHORUS: With Ariel
Let's go!
CHORUS: With Ariel
ARIEL: "Crystal Cavern Caper."
I can't believe how much human stuff we found today.
So much human stuff.
(PANTING)
Flounder. You don't have to carry all that.
Let us help you.
No, no. I've got this, Ariel.
(GRUNTS)
(PLAYFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(OMINOUS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Okay, let's see what we've got.
LUCIA: And now comes the fun part.
We get to name all the things we found!
I wonder what this is used for.
Flounder, that is a flap-a-diddle.
What's a flap-a-diddle?
It's kind of like of a flap-a-doodle, but smaller. See?
Ah!
So you wear it on your head.
Exactly!
(OMINOUS INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Hmm. I think I'll call this one a scoopy-whippy.
Yes! Scoopy-whippy.
I love scoopy-whippy!
And we got another bootle-scootle to add to our collection.
We sure have found a lot of bootle-scootles.
Mmm.
I'm not sure what to call this one.
What do you think, Naima?
She'll get back to us. (CHUCKLES)
So, what should we play with first?
Wait, where's my scoopy-whippy?
-Uh... -Huh?
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
It was just here.
Look!
Our bootle-scootle's gone!
(SCREAMS) My flap-a-doodle's gone, too!
Someone or something must be taking our treasures.
But who could be taking them?
And why?
There has to be a good reason for it.
Maybe they just walked away on their own.
-Like that! -(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
What?
(EXCLAIMS)
(GASPS) It's a hermit crab!
You must be the one taking all our human stuff.
Ha!
(GASPS) Let's get our stuff!
(GRUNTING AND EXCLAIMING)
(LAUGHING)
I can't believe that crab took our land treasures.
That wasn't nice, Mr. Hermit Crab!
But I don't get it.
Why would the crab want our human stuff?
There must be a reason.
Whatever the reason, the crab should have asked us and not just taken it.
That's true.
You should always ask before taking stuff that doesn't belong to you.
But what if he comes back for more?
Then we'll be ready to stop him.
Okay.
I think we have every part of the cavern covered.
If that crab comes back, we'll see him.
Lucia, how's everything look from up there?
So far, so good, Ariel.
Fin-tastic! Flounder?
I'm moving my eyes really fast,
so I can see everything.
Excellent. And, Naima, you've got the front door covered?
Great.
Oh, Fernie, what have you got?
I call this plan "Trappy the Crabby."
A crab trap? Tell me more.
We know the crab likes flap-a-diddles,
so let's use one to trick him, and then catch him.
I've connected this basket to this string.
When the hermit crab tries to take the flap-a-diddle,
I'll pull the string.
When I pull the string, the basket falls down.
And trappys the crabby!
(ALL CLAPPING)
(GASPS) I hear the crab! Everyone, get ready!
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(LAUGHING)
He's coming.
(LAUGHS MISCHIEVOUSLY) Ooh!
ARIEL: Wait for it.
Almost.
(LAUGHING MISCHIEVOUSLY) Ha!
-Huh? -No! The crab cut the string!
The trap won't work without the string.
(LAUGHS MISCHIEVOUSLY)
He's getting away!
FLOUNDER: I'll get him!
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING)
Now he took the flap-a-diddle?
This is so strange.
Well, what are we going to do now?
We need a new plan.
And we need to figure out why he's taking our things without asking.
I know what we can do.
I call this plan
"Lucia uses magic to catch the crab in a bubble."
I'm gonna use magic to catch the crab in a bubble.
(ALL LAUGHING)
It's the perfect plan.
Let's hide!
-(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) -(ARIEL GASPS)
There he is!
(PLAYFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Now's your chance, Lucia.
Bubble-ka-bubble!
-(ALL GASP) -You got him in the bubble!
-Huh? -Oh, no. I missed!
(LAUGHS MISCHIEVOUSLY)
And he's getting away with our...
What do we call that one?
Whiffle-poof.
Whiffle-poof!
Ooh-hoo! (CACKLES)
(SIGHS)
Okay, we've had a lot of really good plans,
but the crab keeps getting away with our human stuff,
so it's time we turn to the expert.
Naima, what have you got?
-(FOOTSTEPS SCURRYING) -(ALL GASP)
Hold that thought, Naima.
He's back!
-Let's grab him! -(LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS) Got you!
Huh? Wait.
It's coral.
The crab turned into coral? That's so sneaky.
No, it's a fake crab.
The real crab put it here to trick us while he...
-CRAB: Ooh-hoo! -(GASPS)
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
ALL: ...takes our treasure!
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS) He's got Naima!
CRAB: C-c-c-c-catch me if you can
We're gonna get you We just need a plan
CRAB: L-l-l-l-leave you In the sand
We're gonna get you Yeah, I know we can
Catch me if you can
Gonna get Gonna get ya
-CRAB: No! -Gonna get, gonna get ya
-CRAB: No way! -Gonna get, gonna get ya
Not today!
So fun to see them try
Yeah, they're always A step behind
They can't catch me
Na-na, they can't catch me
I really love this game 'Cause I'm so good At getting away
They can't catch me
Na-na, not at this speed
Now I'm running And I'm swimming
Now I'm jumping Yeah, I'm winning
I'd love to stick around But au revoir
Wait!
C-c-c-c-catch me if you can
You almost got him!
We're gonna get you We just need a plan

L-l-l-l-leave you In the sand

-We can! -Catch me if you can
I'm gonna get Gonna get ya
-ARIEL: Wait! -Gonna get, gonna get ya
-Almost! -Gonna get, gonna get ya
-ARIEL: Got ya! -Ooh-hoo!
(SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
I didn't catch him.
I can't believe that crab got away with all our land treasures from today.
Me too, Flounder.
I mean, he took everything.
Except whatever this thingy is.
(INTRIGUING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Huh. When I look through it,
-everything looks bigger. -(ALL SCREAMING)
It sure does.
Wait! Look!
Those look like footprints.
Crab footprints.
There's a whole trail of them.
And they start at the cavern.
The crab must have left these footprints when he ran from the cavern.
If we follow this trail...
(GASPS) Jumping jellyfish! That's it!
It could lead us to the crab!
Great idea, Ariel!
Let's do it!
We're coming for you, crab!
I mean, yeah, let's do it!
(GIGGLES)
(DRAMATIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
-ARIEL: There he is! -(RATTLES)
Quick, before he gets away!
(GRUNTING AND SQUEALING)
How... How did you, eh...
What are you, eh... And if... I, um... (CLEARS THROAT)
Hello.
(SIGHS) I can explain.
We're listening.
My name is Hermes.
I am a hermit crab.
And I have outgrown my shell.
Outgrown your shell?
Oh! I see what's going on here.
Hermit crabs are always growing,
and when they get too big,
they don't fit in their shells anymore,
so they have to find a new, bigger shell.
Yes, yes, that's right.
And instead of a shell,
I thought I could use one of these... (SMACKS LIPS)
pretty treasures as a new home.
Wait, I get how all of these things could be a shell,
but why did you take Ariel's doll?
Yeah. Why'd you take Naima?
Well, I took Naima because she looked friendly,
and I could use a friend.
I understand you were looking for a new home,
but if you wanted one of our land treasures, you should've asked.
We love to share. Right, friends?
-Yeah! -Sure do.
Ariel, I am truly sorry.
I just got excited after seeing all your cool things
at the Crystal Cavern.
We'd be happy to give you one of our land treasures as a new home.
Just, next time,
please ask before you take things that aren't yours.
Does that sound like a good idea?
(EXCLAIMS) That sounds like a great idea, Ariel!
Oh, thank you all so much!
And here is your doll.
Mmm.
Thanks.
You won't be needing her company
because we are gonna be your friends.
Really?
I am so happy. (LAUGHS)
Now, which land treasure would you like?
HERMES: This one.
How does it look?
-You look great. -So cool!
Hey, Hermes, what will you wear when you grow out of the flap-a-diddle?
Hmm, I am not sure.
But when I figure it out, I am going to ask you all first.
(ALL GIGGLING)
(PLAYFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
ARIEL: "A Banner Moment."
-Sebastian, drop everything. -(EXCLAIMS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Got it!
Tasty. Oh!
The Duke of Clownfish is coming for a visit.
Oh, no, not the Duke of Clownfish.
Why? Clownfish are so much fun.
They always smile and laugh and--
Don't count on it.
This clownfish is quite grumpy.
Yes, indeed. It'll take something really special
to put a smile on his face.
Hmm.
How about we put on a glorious Atlantica welcome parade?
Ooh, I love parades.
This is turning into a special day.
Ooh, I like that idea.
Let's roll out our finest kelp carpet and make the Duke feel welcome.
Don't you worry, King Triton.
I'll make that grumpy Clownfish smile if it's the last thing I do.
And now it's time to assign you all a job for the parade.
(GASPS) I'm so excited to see what job I get, Flounder.
Me, too! I love parades!
Ayanna, you will design and decorate the parade float.
-(WHOOPS) -That's an awesome job for the parade.
It sure is.
Thanks, Sebastian.
Alanna, you will create everyone's hairdos, wigs, and fancy headdresses.
Ooh! That's a really big, important job, too!
Yes!
And, Flounder, you will help Ariel.
Fantastic!
Ooh! If you're helping me, Flounder,
then I must be getting a big, important job.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(GASPING) Will I sing? Drive the parade float?
Play my guitar in the band?
Ooh, tell me, tell me, tell me!
And you, Ariel, will carry this special banner!
(GASPS) Uh... Huh?
How can this be a very big, important job?
It's so tiny.
SEBASTIAN: But it's more than just a tiny banner.
Let me explain.
-KING T: Sebastian! -(GASPS)
KING T: I have questions about the parade schedule.
(GULPS) Coming, Your Majesty!
I'll explain later.
(SOLEMN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS)
What's wrong, Ariel? Aren't you excited about the parade?
(SIGHS) My sisters got very big and important jobs,
like designing the parade float,
creating fancy wigs and hairdos.
All I got was this teeny, tiny little banner.
(BARKING)
Aww! Such a cute dogfish.
Do you wanna play?
Yes, I know you do. Do you wanna play? Yeah, you do!
(BARKS)
I think he likes the banner.
(LAUGHS)
Here, go fetch!
(BARKING)
Careful, Ariel. Dogfish are easily distracted.
(PLAYFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
-(MEOWING) -Hmm?
Like that!
Oh, that's okay!
No one will miss that tiny little banner.
I'll just get another one from Sebastian.
Another one?
But that's the special banner we've used for Atlantica parades since...
Since... Well, since forever!
(CHUCKLING) Forever is a long time!
And your job to carry that banner was very important.
But the banner is so small.
How could my job be very important?
All jobs are important, even if they seem small.
And your job was very, very important,
because whoever holds the banner is the leader!
(ALL GASPING)
Me? I'm the line leader of the parade?
Yes. The entire parade will follow whoever holds that banner,
no matter where it goes.
You mean like that?
-(FESTIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) -(BARKING)
Oh, no! The Duke of Clownfish is almost here,
and his welcome parade is going the wrong way!
Not to worry, Sebastian.
I'll get that banner from the dogfish
and get the parade back on track.
-Ariel! -Yes?
You must use the banner to lead the parade to the palace
before the clock rings three times.
Three times?
When the clock rings once, the Duke arrives at the palace,
two rings means the parade will start,
three rings and the parade will be over.
One, two, three, you can count on me...
and Flounder.
We'll get everyone back to the palace before the clock rings three times.
Great. Fernie, Lucia, come help me distract the Duke.
Now, where did that dogfish go?
-(BARKING) -(BOTH GASP)
(MEOWING)
(BARKING)
(FESTIVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(CATFISH SCREECHING)
-(MEOWING) -(FLOUNDER GASPS) There's the parade!
ARIEL: And there's the banner!
(BARKING)
-(CLOCK RINGS) -Oh, no!
One ring means the Duke has arrived at the palace.
We better hurry. We've got to get everyone to the palace
before the clock rings three times.
(MAJESTIC INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
The Duke of Clownfish has arrived!
So nice to have you visiting Atlantica, Duke.
My pleasure, King Triton.
Is this my welcome?
Oh, no, no! You're going to love our Atlantica welcome parade.
I do love parades.
Where is the parade, Sebastian?
It should be on its way, sir.
(CLEARS THROAT) Fernie.
Why don't you share some of your fabulous fish facts with the Duke?
I'm sure you know a thing or two about clownfish, right?
I sure do.
Like, did you know that clownfish are not very good swimmers?
(GASPS) Clownfish are excellent swimmers!
Next fact, Fernie.
Right. The thing is, clownfish swim in silly zigzag patterns.
-(GASPS) -That's why you'll often find clownfish
hidden in anemones.
(EXCLAIMING)
Oh, Ariel, where are you?
(BARKING)
(SCREECHES)
(MEOWING)
-(SCREECHING) -(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
FLOUNDER: It's pretty dark in there.
ARIEL: It sure is, Flounder.
But we've got to get that banner back.
-(MEOWING) -(GASPING)
-(BARKING) -(EXCLAIMING)
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
(CLOCK RINGS)
Oh, no! Two rings means...
What does two rings mean?
The parade is supposed to start!
We have to get everyone back to the palace.
Let's hurry.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Lucia, our magician- in-training. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Will you please share some magic with the Duke?
Yes, yes, yes!
(PLAYFUL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
Turn this frowny upside downy,
zip-zap-zowny, flunny-clowny.
(BLOWS)
(ENCHANTING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(EXCLAIMS)
(GASPS)
Not the Atlantica welcome I was expecting.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Where is the parade, Sebastian?
It's lost, King.
Lost?
How can you lose a parade?
(VOICE TREMBLING) Well, I... I... I...
(BOTH WHIMPER)
(SIGHS) Does Ariel have anything to do with this?
Perhaps just a teensy, eensy bit.
Don't worry, everyone.
Ariel will get the parade back in time. I'm sure of it.
Mmm. Come on, Ariel.
We are counting on you.
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
Oh, Flounder. How will we ever catch up with that parade?
I... I thought carrying the little banner was a small job,
but it was a really important job.
And now I've lost the parade and we're out of time.
(SIGHS) I shouldn't have played fetch with that dogfish.
Yeah, too bad you didn't use this pearl instead of the banner.
Jumping jellyfish! That it!
Come with me! You and I are gonna play fetch.
We are?
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
-(MEOWING) -(BARKING)
Oh, look! We are playing fetch!
-(MEOWING CONTINUES) -(GRUNTS)
Uh, shouldn't we be chasing the dogfish?
Nope. Because he's gonna chase the pearl and drop the banner.
Oh! Here, boy!
(BARKING STOPS)
Come play fetch!
(YELPS)
(GRUNTS)
(YELPS)
(BARKING)
I got it! I got the banner!
-(CLOCK DINGS) -Oh, no, Ariel!
The clocktower rang three times.
The parade is supposed to be over now!
Come on, everybody! I'm the line leader now! Follow me!
We've got to get this parade back to the palace.
(TRIUMPHANT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
THE DUKE: Well, King Triton,
you promised me a grand parade
and you gave me... this.
(INSTRUMENTS CLATTERING)
(PLAYING HARMONICA)
I'll be leaving now.
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
Wait! What is that sound?
(LAUGHS) That's my Ariel.
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
(BARKING)
(FESTIVE MUSIC CONTINUES)
So glad you got the parade back on track, Ariel.
Now I know that every job is important, no matter how small it seems.
I'm really sorry, Sebastian.
Oh, my dear Ariel, we all make mistakes,
but you did your best to fix it.
That's what makes you a very special mermaid.
And just look at the Duke.
I've never seen him smile like that before.
Huh. Who knew the Duke was a dogfish lover? (CHUCKLES)
Of course, I am! Who wants to join me?
(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING)
ARIEL: I'm making waves!
I'm swimming to the rhythm Of my own beat
Playing my song and I keep on singing
Aye, aye, aye
I show the world what makes me me
Turn up the melody like Aye, aye, aye
I'm making waves!
I'm singing, aye
I'm making waves!
