While the king fumed, the little mermaid rumped miles from the palace with her companion, a roly -poly fish named Flounder.

Oh my gosh.
45
Oh my gosh.
46
Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?
47
Wow, cool.
48
But, uh, what is it?
49
Oh, I don't know, but I bet Scuttle will.

Swimming to the surface, Ariel found her seagull friend.
51
She held up the fork.
52
Scuttle, look what we found.

54
Human stuff, huh?

Hey, let me see.

See, just a little twirl here and a yank there.

I'm boyole.
65
I got an ass.
66
Aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over.
67
After Scuttle demonstrated, Ariel took the fork and began combing it through her long red hair.
68
A dinglehopper.
69
Flander pointed to another item, a tobacco pipe.
70
What about that one?
71
Ah, this.
72
I haven't seen in years.
73
This is wonderful.
74
A bandit, bulbous, snarfblatt.
75
Now, the Snarf Blatt dates back to pre -historical times
76
when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day.
77
It got very boring.
78
So, they invented this Snarf Blatt to make fine music.
79
Allow me.
80
Music.
81
It's stuff.
82
Oh, the concert.
83
Oh, my gosh, my father's gonna kill me.
84
The concert was today?
85
She had forgotten her debut.
86
Ariel frantically stuffed her treasures into a sack, then dove underwater.
87
As she swam toward the castle, two moray eels slithered in the shadows watching her.
88
They were called Flotsam and Jetsam, and their glowing eyes acted as spyglasses for the Sea Witch,
89
a half -octopus, half -woman, with black tentacles and purple flesh.
90
Confined to her ocean lair, Ursula sneered when she saw Ariel returning to the palace.
91
Yes, hurry home, princess.
92
We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's celebration, would we?
93
Ha!
94
Celebration indeed.
95
Bah!
96
In my day, we had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace.
97
and now look at me wasted away to practically nothing banished
98
and exiled and practically starving while he
99
and his flimsy fish folks celebrate well i'll give him something
100
to celebrate soon enough plant some get some i want you
101
to keep an extra close watch on this pretty a little daughter of his, she may be the key to Triton's undoing.
102
As Ursula grinned in anticipation, Ariel hurried into the throne room.
103
Triton was waiting for her, with Sebastian at his side.
104
I just don't know what we're going to do with you, young lady.
105
Daddy, I'm sorry.
106
I just forgot.
107
As a result of your careless behavior...
108
Careless and reckless behavior.
109
The entire celebration was...
110
Well, it was ruined.
111
That's all, completely destroyed.
112
This concert was to be the pinnacle of my distinguished career.
113
No thanks to you, I am the laughingstock of the entire kingdom.
114
Flounder, who had been hovering nearby, swam to Ariel's defense.
115
But it wasn't her fault.
116
Uh, well, first, uh, the shark chases.
117
Yeah, yeah, and we tried to, but we couldn't.
118
And he didn't, and we, whoa!
119
Whoa!
120
And then we were safe.
121
But then the seagull came, and it was this is this, and that is that, and...
122
Seagull?
123
What?
124
Oh, you went up to the surface again, didn't you?
125
Didn't you?
126
Nothing happened.
127
Oh, Ariel, how many times must we go through this?
128
You could have been seen by one of those barbarians, by one of those humans.
129
Daddy, they're not barbarians.
130
They're dangerous.
131
Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish -eater's hook?
132
I'm 16 years old.
133
I'm not a child anymore.
134
Don't you take that tone of voice with me, young lady.
135
As long as you live under my ocean, you'll obey my rules.
136
But if you would just listen...
137
Not another word!
138
And I am never, never to hear of you going to the surface again.
139
Is that clear?
140
Almost in tears, Ariel whirled around and rushed out of the castle.
141
The king thought for a moment, then turned to Sebastian.
142
Do you think I was too hard on her?
143
Definitely not.
144
Why, if Ariel was my daughter, I'd show her who was boss.
145
None of this flitting to the surface.
146
I know there's such nonsense.
147
No, sir, I'd keep her under tight control.
148
You're absolutely right, Sebastian. Of course.
149
Ariel needs constant supervision.
150
Constant someone to watch over her to keep her out of
151
trouble all the time you are just the crab to do
152
it as sebastian gulped the sea king waved him away with his trident the tiny crab had no choice
153
but to hurry after ariel he followed her to a grotto far from the castle sebastian hid behind a rock, then peered out.
154
He...
155
Gasped.
156
Spread before him was an amazing assortment of human artifacts.
157
Books and vases, bottles and clocks, birdcages, salt shakers, a harp, and a globe.
158
Horrified, he watched Ariel examine her treasures.
159
Maybe he's right.
160
Maybe there is something the matter with me.
161
I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.
162
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
163
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
164
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?
165
Look at this truth, treasures untold.
166
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
167
Looking around here, you think, sure, she's got everything.
168
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty I've got who's its and what's its galore You want thingamabobs?
169
I got twenty But who cares?
170
No big deal I want more I want to be where the people are I want to see,
171
want to see them dancing, walking around on those, what do you call them?
172
Oh, feet.
173
Flipping your fins, you don't get too far.
174
Legs are required for jumping, dancing, strolling along down a, what's that word again?
175
Up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun Wandering free,
176
wish I could be part of that world What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
177
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
178
That's a Hunland.
179
They understand that they don't reprimand their daughters.
180
Bright young women, sick of swimming, ready to stand.
181
And ready to know what the people know.
182
Ask them my questions and get some answers.
183
What's a fire and why does it, what's the word, burn?
184
When's it my turn, wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
185
Out of the sea, wish I could be part of that.
186
as Ariel looked up at the surface she saw the bottom
187
of a ship drifting across the sea she swam up to investigate and Sebastian took off after her.
188
Ariel, please come back!
189
Above, fireworks exploded in the sky, showering the boat with bursts of colour.
190
Ariel headed for the ship, then hoisted herself up the side.
191
Hiding behind some ropes, she stared at the sailors dancing on deck.
192
Then she noticed one young man in particular.
193
The prince.
194
Mesmerized, Ariel leaned closer Until she heard a familiar squawk Hey there, sweetie Quite a show, eh?
195
Squirtle, be quiet, they'll hear you Ooh,
196
I gotcha, I gotcha We're being imprepidatious We're out to discover I've never seen a human this close before Oh
197
He's very handsome, isn't he?
198
I don't know, he looked kind of hairy and slobbery to me not
199
that one the one playing the snarf
200
while ariel gazed at eric from her hiding place sir grimsby presented him with a birthday gift an impressive marble statue
201
the prince stared at the likeness of himself gee grim it's uh it's uh it's really something Yes,
202
I commissioned it myself.
203
Of course, I had hoped it would be a wedding present.
204
Oh, come on, Grim.
205
Don't start.
206
Look, you're not still sore because I didn't fall for the princess of Glauerhaven, are you?
207
Oh, Eric, it isn't me alone.
208
The entire kingdom wants to see you happily settle down with the right girl.
209
Well, she's out there somewhere.
210
I just...
211
I just haven't found her yet.
212
Well, perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough.
213
Oh, believe me, Grim, when I find her, I'll know.
214
Without a doubt, it'll just.. bam, hit me.
215
Like lightning.
216
At that moment, lightning flashed across the sky and raindrops splattered the deck.
217
Out of nowhere came the wind, tearing at the sails and churning the waves into enormous swells.
218
Whoa, the wind's over!
219
It's got none of the moves here!
220
Go!
221
Ariel!
222
As Scotty was blown into the air, Ariel clung to the ship's side, straining to see Eric through the pouring rain.
223
When she finally glimpsed him at the helm, the boat heaved violently and Ariel tumbled into the water.
224
As she fell, a lightning bolt struck the mast.
225
Ariel struggled to the surface.
226
In the distance, she saw the burning ship crash against some rocks, hurling the crew into the ocean.
227
She spotted Eric clinging to a plank and swam frantically toward him.
228
Before she could reach him, he lost his grip and sank underwater.
229
Ariel dove after him.
230
Using all her strength, she pulled the unconscious prince to shore.
231
While she gazed down at him, a bedraggled scuttle landed nearby.
232
Is he.. dead?
233
It's hard to say.
234
Oh, I...
235
I can't make out a heartbeat.
236
No, look!
237
He's breathing.
238
He's so beautiful.
239
If we could stay all day in the sun,
240
just you and me, and I could be part of your world.
241
As Eric began to stir, Ariel heard Sir Grimsby approaching.
242
She dove into the water before they saw her.
243
Eric!
244
Eric!
245
Oh, you really delight in these synthetic strains and my blood pressure, don't you?
246
A girl rescued me.
247
She was singing.
248
She had the most beautiful voice.
249
Ah, Eric, I think you swallowed a bit too much seawater.
250
Off we go.
251
Grimsby held the dazed Prince to his feet.
252
From the ocean, Ariel watched them walk away.
253
Meanwhile, Ursula was down in her lair Observing the mermaid through the eyes of Flotsam and Jetsam Oh,
254
no, no, no, no, no, no I can't stand it It's too easy The child is in love with a human
255
And not just any human A prince
256
Daddy will love that King Chiton's headstrong lovesick girl would make a charming addition to my little garden.
257
She waved her arm over a cluster of polyps, grimacing seagrass who had once been free souls.
258
They were all merpeople who had been transformed into writhing plants after failing to keep a contract with a witch.
259
later
260
that day Ursula watched Ariel toy with a flower plucking the
261
petals one by one the witch saw Sebastian try to reason with a mermaid Scuttle knows where he lives Ariel, please, will you get your head out of the clouds
262
and back in the water where it belongs I'll swim up
263
to his castle then Flounder will splash around to get his attention down here is your home Ariel, listen to me the human world,
264
it's a mess Life under the sea is better than anything
265
they got up there The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake You dream about going up there,
266
but that is a big mistake Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor Such wonderful things surround you,
267
what more is you looking for?
268
Under the sea, under the sea Darling, it's Better down where it's wet and take it from me.
269
Up on the shore they work all day.
270
Out in the sun they slave away.
271
While we keep boating full time to floating under the sea.
272
Tell you all the fish is happy.
273
As after the waves they roll.
274
The fish on the land ain't happy.
275
They suck cause they ain't a bowler.
276
But fish in the bowl is lucky.
277
They in for a worse fate One day when the boss get hungry Yes,
278
you got me on the plate But go under the sea Under the sea Nobody beat us,
279
fire us and eat us in fricassee
280
We what the land folks loves to cook Under the sea we have to hook up We got no troubles,
281
life is the bubbles Under the sea Under the sea Since life is sweet here,
282
we got to be here naturally Even the sturgeon and the ray, they did the earth and start to play We got the spirit,
283
you got to hear it under the sea The new to play, the flute, the cock, the harp, the players play, the bass and the sound The chub, the bass play, the brass,
284
the chub, play, the tub The flute is the duke of soul, the way he can play,
285
the names of the strings The black fish is in his belt and his front He know where it's at, he know that blue fish BLOW!
286
Yeah, under the sea, under the sea, under the sea, when the sardine begin,
287
it's music to me, what do they got, a lot of sand, we got a hot pistachium band,
288
each little clam here, know how to jam here, under the sea, each little slug here, cutting a rug here, under the sea,
289
Caught up in the excitement, Sebastian hadn't noticed that Ariel had disappeared.
290
As he was about to dash after her, a seahorse messenger delivered a message from the king.
291
Sebastian hurried to the castle and nervously approached Triton who believed that Ariel was in love with a merman.
292
I'm concerned about Ariel.
293
Have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?
294
Oh, peculiar?
295
You know, mooning about, daydreaming, singing to herself.
296
You haven't noticed, hmm?
297
Oh, well, I...
298
Sebastian, I know you've been keeping something from me.
299
I'm keeping something about Ariel, Ariel, in love, hmm?
300
I tried to stop her, sir.
301
She wouldn't listen.
302
I told her to stay away from humans.
303
They are bad.
304
They are trouble.
305
Humans?
306
What about humans?
307
Humans?
308
Who said anything about humans?
309
Fearing the king's wrath, Sebastian unwillingly led Triton to Ariel's grotto.
310
They found her staring at the prince's statue, which Flounder had retrieved after the storm.
311
Danny!
312
I consider myself a reasonable merman.
313
I set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed
314
but daddy is it true you rescued a human from drowning daddy i had to contact between the human world
315
and the world is strictly forbidden ariel you know that everyone knows
316
that he would have died one less human to worry about
317
you don't even know him know him i don't have to
318
know him they're all the same spineless savage harpooning fish eaters incapable of any feeling daddy i love Damn them!
319
No!
320
Have you lost your senses completely?
321
He's a human!
322
You're a mermaid!
323
I don't care!
324
So help me, Ariel!
325
I am going to get through to you!
326
And if this is the only way, so be it!
327
Aiming his trident, the Sea King fired bolts of lightning at her treasures, making them explode before her eyes.
328
Daddy!
329
No!
330
No!
331
Please!
332
Daddy, stop!
333
Daddy, stop it!
334
Determined to destroy everything, he pointed the trident at Prince Eric's statue.
335
Daddy, no!
336
Ariel tried to stop him, but a lightning bolt flashed, shattering the statue.
337
She swam to the spot where Eric's image had stood and collapsed on a rock, sobbing.
338
After Triton left, Ariel looked up and saw two eels grinning at her. Who? Who are you?
339
Don't be scared.
340
We represent someone who can help you.
341
Someone who can make all your dreams come true.
342
Just imagine you and your prince together forever.
343
I don't understand.
344
Ursula has great powers.
345
the sea witch why that's I couldn't possibly no get out of here leave me alone when flotsam
346
and jetsam turned away Ariel glanced at the rubble from the statue she saw a fragment of the prince's face
347
and remembering her love for eric dashed after the eels wait as ariel
348
and the eels left the grotto their passing shadows fell over flounder
349
and sebastian ariel where are you going ariel what are you doing here with this
350
i'm going to see ursula ariel no no she's a demon
351
she's a monster why don't you go tell my father You're good at that.
352
Sebastian's jaw dropped as Ariel hurried to catch up with Ursula's spies.
353
The crab motioned to Flander, and the two set out for Ursula's domain.
354
Swimming past underwater volcanoes and barren terrain,
355
they entered the mouth of a whale skeleton and cringed as they watched Ariel timidly approach the sea witch.
356
Come in, come in, my child.
357
We mustn't lurk in doorways.
358
It's rude.
359
One might question your upbringing.
360
Now, then, you're here because you have a thing for this human, this, uh, prince fellow.
361
Not that I blame you.
362
He is quite a catch, isn't he?
363
Well, Angelfish, the solution to your problem is simple.
364
The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
365
Can you do that?
366
My dear sweet child, that's what I do.
367
It's what I live for, to help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
368
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
369
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
370
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch.
371
But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways.
372
Repented, seen the light and made a switch.
373
True, yes.
374
And I fortunately know a little magic.
375
It's a talent that I always have possessed.
376
And to you lately, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf of the miserable,
377
lonely, and depressed, pathetic, poor unfortunate souls, in pain, in need.
378
This one longing to be thinner, that one wants to get the girl, and do I help them?
379
Yes, indeed.
380
Those poor unfortunate souls.
381
So sad, so true.
382
They come flocking to my court and find spells, Ursula, please, and I help them.
383
Yes, I do.
384
Now it's happened once or twice.
385
Someone couldn't pay the price, and I'm afraid I had to break them across the goals.
386
Yes, I've had the odd complaint, but on the whole I've been a saint to those poor, unfortunate souls.
387
Now, here's the deal.
388
I will make you a potion
389
that will.. turn you into a human for three days got
390
that three days now listen this is important before the sun
391
sets on the third day you've got to get dear old princey to fall in love with you
392
that is he's got to kiss you not just any kiss the kiss of true love
393
if he does kiss you before the sun sets on the third day you'll remain human permanently
394
but if he doesn't you turn back into a mermaid
395
and you belong to me no ariel don't have we got a deal
396
if i become human i'll never be with my father or sisters again.
397
But you have your man.
398
Life's full of tough choices. In it.
399
Oh, and there is one more thing.
400
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
401
But I don't have it.
402
I'm not asking about you.
403
Just a token, really a trifle.
404
What I want from you is your voice.
405
But without my voice, how can i you'll have your looks your pretty face
406
and don't underestimate the importance of the body language the men
407
up there don't like a lot of blabber they think a
408
girl who gossips is a bore yet on land it's much referred for ladies not to say a word
409
and after all dear what is idle prattle for come on there not all
410
that impressed with conversation two gentlemen avoid it when they can
411
but they don't do fool

422
After Ariel signed the contract, Ursula hunched over a cauldron.
423
Soon, wisps of smoke appeared in the shape of hands and swirled around the mermaid's throat.
424
The magical hands removed Ariel's voice and carried it back to Ursula, who captured it in a shell necklace around her neck.
425
Ariel's transformation took place.
426
No longer a mermaid, she struggled under the water until Sebastian and Flander lifted her toward the ocean's surface.
427
They helped her to shore, where they found Scuttle scratching his head, trying to figure out what was different about Ariel.
428
Don't tell me.
429
I got it.
430
It's your hairdo, right?
431
You've been using the Dinglehoffer, right?
432
No?
433
No, huh?
434
Well, let me see.
435
New seashells?
436
No new seashells.
437
I gotta admit, I can't put my foot on her right now, but if I just stand here long enough, I know that I'll...
438
She's got legs, you idiot!
439
She traded her vice to the sea witch and got legs.
440
Jeez, man!
441
I knew that.
442
Ariel's been turned into a human.
443
She's got to make the prince fall in love with her, and he's got to kiss her.
444
And she's only got three days.
445
Just look at her. On legs.
446
On human legs.
447
My nerves are shot.
448
This is a catastrophe.
449
What would her father say?
450
I'll tell you what her father'd say.
451
He'd say he's going to kill himself a crab.
452
That's what her father'd say.
453
I'm gonna march meself straight home right now and tell him just like I shoulda done de minute.
454
And don't you shake your head at me, young lady.
455
Maybe there's still time.
456
If we could get that witch to give you back your voice, you could go home with all the normal fish and just be,
457
just be, just be miserable for the rest of your life.
458
All right, all right.
459
I'll try to help you find that prince.
460
why what a soft shell I'm turning out to be
461
while Sebastian spoke Scuttle picked up a torn piece of sail lying on the beach now Ariel I'm telling you
462
if you want to be a human the first thing you
463
gotta do is dress like one now let me see Scuttle draped the sail around her
464
while she was admiring her human clothes she was startled to
465
see Eric's dog bounding towards her the prince ran up after him.
466
Max!
467
Quiet, Max.
468
What's gotten into you, Bella?
469
Oh.
470
Oh, I see.
471
Are you okay, miss?
472
I'm sorry if this knucklehead scared you.
473
He's harmless, really.
474
As Ariel shied away from the animal, Eric peered at her more closely.
475
You seem very familiar to me.
476
Have we met?
477
Ariel glanced up at him, nodding.
478
You haven't.
479
I knew it.
480
You're the one.
481
The one I've been looking for.
482
What's your name?
483
She clutched her throat, remembering that she had traded her voice to the sea witch.
484
What's wrong?
485
What is it?
486
You can't speak?
487
Oh.
488
No. Then you couldn't be who I thought.
489
Seeing Eric sigh, Ariel vainly tried to use sign language to describe the shipwreck and rescue.
490
What is it?
491
You're hurt? no no you need help whoa whoa careful careful
492
easy gee you must have really been through something don't worry boy I'll help you okay
493
when the prince saw Ariel attempt to walk he slipped an arm around her
494
and escorted her to the castle upon their arrival a maid named Carlotta whist Ariel upstairs for a bath.
495
Eric joined Sir Grimsby in the dining room and stared out of the window, haunted by the memory of the girl with the lovely voice.
496
Nice young ladies, just don't swim around rescuing people in the middle of the ocean
497
and then flitter off into oblivion like some - I'm telling you Grimsby, she was real.
498
I'm gonna find that girl.
499
And I'm gonna marry him.
500
Just then, Carlotta gently pushed Ariel into the room.
501
When Sir Grimsby saw her standing in there, dressed in a beautiful gown, he stood up from his chair.
502
Oh, Eric, isn't she a vision?
503
Uh, you look wonderful.
504
As Ariel beamed, Sir Grimsby took her hand.
505
Come, come, come, you must be Spanish.
506
Let me help you, my dear.
507
It's, uh, it's, uh, not often that we have such a lovely dinner guest, eh, Eric?
508
Once they were seated, Ariel saw a fork on the table
509
and remembered what scuttle had told her about dingle hoppers she picked up the utensil
510
and began combing it through her hair when she saw eric
511
and grimsby staring at her she quickly put down the fork
512
then noticed the pipe in sir grimsby's mouth do you like
513
it he handed it to her thinking it was a snarf blatt ariel blew into the pipe
514
and covered sir grimsby's face with soot eric burst out laughing
515
my sorry oh very amusing my dear what's for dinner oh
516
you're gonna love it chef's been fixing his specialty stuffed crab
517
she nodded toward the kitchen where the chef louis was preparing a masterpiece as he pared
518
and peeled chopped and cleaved one little crab was trying to stay out of his way.
519
It was Sebastian, who had accidentally wandered into the kitchen while Ariel was taking a bath.
520
Now he was shocked to see Louis slicing and dicing his fellow sea creatures.
521
With the cleaver I hack them in two I pull out what's inside
522
and I serve it up I've got a lot of little fishes, don't you?
523
Something for tempting the valet.
524
Prepared in the classic technique.
525
First you pound the fish fast with the mammoth.
526
Then you slash to the skin, give the belly a slice.
527
Then you rock some salt in, cause that makes it this nice.
528
Zoot allo, I have missed one.
529
Sacre bleu, what is this?
530
How on earth could I miss such a sweet little saccurent crab?
531
Far from the activity at Eric's palace, Triton was searching his underwater realm for Ariel.
532
Well, keep looking.
533
Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored.
534
Let no one in this kingdom sleep until she's safe at home.
535
As Triton agonized over his daughter, Ariel was busy discovering the human world.
536
She spent the next day with a prince, and as he showed her his kingdom, she marveled at everything.
537
The horses with their clattering hoofs, the carriage with its whirling wheels, the charming villages and blooming fields along the way.
538
Together, Ariel and Eric strolled in a marketplace, then danced, and later watched the sun set as the carriage crested a hill.
539
While Ariel forgot all about her bargain with the sea witch, Sebastian, Scotle, and Flander worried that the prince would never kiss her.
540
They followed Eric and Ariel to a lagoon, Then hid among the reeds and watched them row.
541
Nothing is happening.
542
Only one day left, and that boy ain't puckin' up once.
543
Okay, all right, this calls for a little vocal romantic stimulation.
544
Stand back.
545
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah,

548

558

560

563
You gotta kiss the girl, wanna kiss the girl, gotta kiss the girl,
564
go on and kiss the girl.
565
Eric leaned closer to Ariel, but as he bent to kiss her, the boat was tipped over by Flotsam and Jetsam,
566
who rose to the surface sniggering.
567
Nice work, boys.
568
That was a close one.
569
Ursula observed the incident from her lair.
570
Too close.
571
The little tramp.
572
Oh, she's better than I thought.
573
At this rate, he'll be kissing her by sunset for sure.
574
Well, it's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles.
575
Titan's daughter will be mine.
576
And then I'll make him writhe.
577
I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook.
578
She grabbed a magic potion and threw it into her cauldron.
579
Breathing in the smoke, the repulsive sea witch transformed herself into a beautiful maiden.
580
With a shell necklace around her neck, she set off for Eric's palace.
581
At that moment, the prince sat on the castle's steps playing his fife and glancing at Ariel's window.
582
Sir Grimsby came outside and put his hand on Eric's shoulder.
583
Eric, if I may say, far better than any dream girl is one of flesh and blood,
584
one warm and caring and right before your eyes.
585
The prince threw down his fife, determined to speak to Ariel.
586
Then he heard a voice emanating from the fog.
587
He recognized the song of the girl who had rescued him.
588
And he soon forgot all about Ariel.
589
He became hypnotized by the maiden with a shell necklace who appeared before him.
590
Using Ariel's voice, Ursula had woven her spell.
591
The next morning, Ariel was still asleep.
592
when Scuttle flew into the room and crash -landed beside Sebastian.
593
Ariel, wake up!
594
Wake up!
595
I just heard the news!
596
Congratulations, kiddo!
597
We did it!
598
What is this idiot bobbling about?
599
Right, as if you two didn't know, huh?
600
The whole town's buzzing about the prince getting himself hitched this afternoon!
601
You know, he's getting married!
602
Overjoyed, Ariel dressed quickly, then descended the stairs.
603
She paused when she overheard Grimsby speaking to the Prince.
604
Well, Eric, it appears that I was mistaken.
605
This mystery maiden of yours does, in fact, exist.
606
Her heart pounding, Ariel hid behind the banister, straining to see the young woman beside Eric.
607
And she is lovely.
608
Congratulations, my dear.
609
We wish to be married as soon as possible.
610
Oh, yes, of course, Eric, but these things do take time, you know.
611
This afternoon, Grimsby.
612
The wedding ship departs at sunset.
613
Oh.
614
Oh, very well, Eric.
615
As you wish.
616
Ariel drew back, stunned.
617
She was the one who had rescued the prince.
618
Fighting tears, Ariel fled the palace.
619
That afternoon, Scotle approached the wedding ship as it left the harbor.
620
When he looked into a porthole, he was surprised to see a strange maiden sitting at a vanity table, laughing.
621
Scuttle noticed the maiden's reflection in the mirror.
622
The sea witch!
623
Oh no, she's gonna...
624
I gotta...
625
Ariel!
626
The flustered seagull hurried back to the dock, where he found Sebastian and Flounder trying to console Ariel.
627
Ariel, I was flying.
628
Of course I was flying.
629
I saw the watch.
630
The witch was watching the mirror.
631
Do you hear what I'm telling you?
632
The prince is marrying the sea witch in disguise.
633
What are we going to do?
634
Ariel looked at the wedding ship in the distance, remembering Ursula's words.
635
Before the sun sets on the third day.
636
Resolved, Ariel dove off the dock.
637
But she was human now, and could not swim like a mermaid.
638
Thinking quickly, Sebastian rolled a bunch of barrels into the ocean for Ariel to hold onto.
639
Then he motioned for Flandre to grab the rope that tied the barrels together.
640
Ariel, grab onto that!
641
Flounder, get onto that boat as fast as your fins can carry you!
642
I'll try!
643
I gotta get to the Sea King.
644
He must know about this.
645
What about me?
646
What about me?
647
You find a way to stall that wedding!
648
Stall the wedding?
649
What am I?
650
What?
651
That's it!
652
Scuffle flew up to gather an army of his friends.
653
Move it!
654
Let's go!
655
We got an emergency here!
656
While scores of sea creatures headed for the ship, the maiden led the hypnotized prince down the aisle.
657
The couple faced the minister just as the sun was about to set.
658
Dearly beloved, do you, Eric,
659
take Vanessa to be your lovely -witted wife for as long as you both shall live?
660
I do.
661
As the maiden smirked, Scuttle's battalion arrived, seals hurled water at her, pelicans tore at her hair,
662
lobsters and starfish clung to her, pinching her flesh.
663
Finally, Ariel made it to the ship.
664
When she climbed aboard, she saw Scuttle trying to tear the necklace from the maiden's neck.
665
Suddenly, Eric's dog rushed up and bit the maiden.
666
The shell necklace crashed to the deck and shattered.
667
Then a golden vapour floated towards Ariel's throat.
668
As soon as Ariel regained her voice, the prince snapped out of his hypnotic state eric you you
669
cannot talk you're the one eric get away from her it
670
was you all the time oh eric i i wanted to
671
tell you before eric could kiss ariel the sun set behind the maiden waved her arms in triumph
672
and began transforming back into the sea witch at
673
the same time Ariel felt her
674
legs changing Ursula grabbed the little mermaid
675
and dove overboard calling back to the prince as Ursula pulled
676
ariel underwater a titanic figure blocked her way ursula stop why king triton how are you
677
let her go not a chance triton she's mine now we
678
made a deal the sea witch showed him the contract ariel had signed triton blasted the contract with his triton
679
but the scroll remained intact The king shook in anger as Ursula transformed Ariel into one of a polyps.
680
You see?
681
The contract's legal, binding, and completely unbreakable, even for you.
682
But I might be willing to make an exchange for someone even better.
683
Now, do we have a deal?
684
Defeated, Triton nodded.
685
He replaced Ariel's name on the contract with his own.
686
And at once, the mighty king dissolved into a grubbling polyp.
687
As Ariel resumed her mermaid form, Ursula grabbed Triton's crown and placed it on her head.
688
At last, it's mine.
689
You monster!
690
Don't fool with me, you little brat!
691
Contractor, no old brat!
692
A harpoon had shot out of nowhere and grazed Ursula's arm.
693
It was Eric swimming above them.
694
The witch's eel sped after him.
695
Eric, look out!
696
Before the prince could climb onto a boat, Flotsam and Jetsam dragged him underwater.
697
Sebastian and Flander saw the commotion
698
and the crab clamped his claws down on their tails while Flander hit one of the eels over the head.
699
The furious vipers released Eric to chase after them.
700
When the sea witch saw Eric alone, she aimed the trident at him, glancing back at Ariel.
701
Say goodbye to your sweetheart.
702
Ariel lunged at Ursula, knocking the trident loose.
703
It misfired and blasted, flotsam and jest.
704
As Ariel hurried to join Eric, the enraged sea witch began spouting black ink.
705
The pools spread to the ocean surface surrounding Ariel and the prince.
706
Eric, you've got to get away from here!
707
No, I won't leave you!
708
Before they could get away, Ursula's colossal head emerged.
709
The sea witch had grown.. into a giant monster and she leered down at them smashing her tentacles into the water
710
you pitiful insignificant fool now i am the ruler of all the ocean
711
the waves obey my every whim the sea and all its spoils bow to my power Using the trident,
712
the witch stirred the sea into a deadly whirlpool.
713
As Eric and Ariel became separated, dozens of sunken ships dislodged from the ocean floor and rose to the surface.
714
When one ghostly galleon sailed by Eric, he grabbed a rope and pulled himself aboard.
715
As he staggered to the helm, he saw Ursula towering over Ariel, the trident poised in her gargantuan hand.
716
So much for true love!
717
She brought her arm back, then glanced over to see a ship speeding straight toward her.
718
At the last moment, Eric steered the bowsprit into the witch, stabbing.
719
Ursula writhed and squirmed.
720
Lightning flashed across the heavens as her body sparked and sputtered, then disintegrated into a gelatinous mass.
721
moments later the witch's glowing remains trickled down to her domain
722
where they dusted the polyps in her garden the plants magically transformed back into myrrh people
723
and the freed soul swam away one polyp remained king tritons now
724
that ursula no longer wielded the triton it sunk underwater to complete the metamorphosis.
725
It gently touched the one remaining polyp and the Sea King emerged restored to power.
726
After the waters calmed and the gulls began to circle and dolphins glide through their ballet, Triton went in search of his daughter.
727
He found her on the surface, sitting on a rock.
728
She was gazing at Eric in the distance the king turned
729
to Sebastian she really does love him doesn't she Sebastian well
730
it's like I always say your majesty children got to be free to lead their own lives you always say
731
that then I guess there's just one problem left and what's that your majesty how much i'm going to miss her
732
he pointed the trident at ariel and a glowing mist drifted toward the mermaid
733
it engulfed her
734
and within moments she became human ariel glanced down at her legs then looked back at her father and smiled.
735
The king and Sebastian watched as she emerged from the ocean into the prince's embrace.
736
Soon after, Eric and Ariel were married on board the wedding ship.
737
The couple turned toward King Triton, who had been watching the ceremony from the ocean eric bowed
738
and ariel blew her father a kiss then the king waved his trident
739
and a magnificent rainbow appeared spanning the sky above all who walked on earth and all who swam the sea
740
I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you,
741
I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you.

Cosa imparerai
Questo video è perfetto per esercitare due abilità chiave: la comprensione di dialoghi con contesto narrativo e la produzione di frasi con intonazione espressiva. Attraverso la storia, imparerai a seguire un racconto con dettagli descrittivi e a riprodurre la fluidità di conversazioni tra personaggi con personalità diverse, come il re Tritone o la giovane Ariel. Inoltre, la pratica di "shadowing in inglese" (ripetizione immediata del parlato) con questo clip aiuterà a rafforzare la tua pronuncia e la sincronizzazione tra ascolto e produzione.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nella dialogue, noterai diverse forme di connected speech (parola collegata) e riduzioni tipiche dell'inglese parlato. Ad esempio, frasi come "I'll tell you a tale" diventano "I'll tell ya a tale" (con "you" ridotto a "ya"), o "don't count that" che si trasforma in "don't count that" con un legame tra "count" e "that". Anche le consonanti finali spesso si attenuano, come in "mysterious fathoms below" dove "below" si collega a "fathoms" senza pausa. Questi dettagli sono fondamentali per capire l'inglese spontaneo e per rendere la tua pronuncia più naturale.
Parla come un madrelingua
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento del narratore, focalizzati sulla stress (enfasi) sulle parole chiave. Nelle frasi descrittive, come "a majestic ship skimmed the ocean's surface", l'enfasi cade su "majestic", "skimmed" e "ocean's" per creare un senso di immagine. Nella conversazione tra i marinai, il tono diventa più informale e il ritmo accelera: "A fine strong wind and a following sea" si dice con una cadenza leggera, quasi cantilenante. Usa la tecnica del "shadow speak": ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di copiare l'intonazione e la durata delle sillabe. Questa pratica di conversazione in inglese ti aiuterà a internalizzare il flusso naturale del linguaggio e a superare la timidezza nella produzione spontanea.
Con "shadowspeaks" e questi esercizi, potrai trasformare la semplice ascoltazione in una pratica attiva che migliora non solo la pronuncia, ma anche la confidenza nel parlare inglese. Ricorda: la chiave è la ripetizione costante e l'attenzione ai dettagli del parlato reale.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso | haven't been looking · she's been acting · you've been keeping |

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
