Barbie: The Pearl Princess

[GASPS]

[BLOWING]

[GIGGLES]

[GIGGLES]

With the power vested in me

by nobody in particular...

...I hereby crown you Princess Kuda,

ruler of the seven seas.

[GIGGLES]

[SHELLS CLANGING]

[WHISTLING]

Oh, thank you.

Thank you, my loyal subjects.

[LUMINA GIGGLES]

Ladies and jellyfish,

let us celebrate my coronation...

...with a royal ball.

Let joy be unconfined!

May I have this dance, milady?

Charmed, I'm sure.

[CLANGING AND SQUEAKING]

[GIGGLES]

SCYLLA:
Lumina?

-Aah.

LUMINA:
Uh-oh.

-Aah!

Lumina?

Lumina.

What was that commotion?

LUMINA:

Um...

Oh, we were just playing coronation,

Aunt Scylla.

Were you using your pearl magic

outside?

Um...

Well, maybe, just a little.

Lumina, I've told you and told you...

...keep your powers private.

-Powers private.

I know, Aunt Scylla. I'm sorry, really.

You have a very special gift...

...but if word got out--

Well, all kinds of bad people

might come looking for you.

But I don't understand.

Who's gonna see me way out here?

You don't need to understand.

Please, just do as I say.

[KUDA GASPS]

Hello, Kuda.

KUDA:

Hi, Aunt Scylla. Ha, ha.

Ah. Great.

Now your aunt's mad.

And I've got clam dents in my head.

Oh, you look fine.

Hmm. Except for your hair.

Uh-oh.

[GRUNTS]

LUMINA:

Hmm.

Uh-uh.

[GRUNTS]

Hmm.

No. Still not right.

[GASPS]

LUMINA:

I think that's the one.

Let's see. You need something to wear.

[KUDA GASPS]

[KUDA SCREAMING]

There.

Now you look like a princess.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

[GIGGLES]

Hmm?

And now we both look like princesses.

[LUMINA SIGHS]

I wonder what a real princess

looks like.

KU DA:

Yeah.

And the royal castle.

LUMINA:
And all the beautiful mermaids

and their elegant clothes.

Can you imagine

the dances they must have there?

Kuda, you think we'll ever

really get to see the castle?

Maybe.

Someday.

I bet it's just

the most wonderful place ever.

I bet everyone there is happy

all the time.

CALIGO:

Your Gracious Majesties.

All I ask is that you consent

to appear in public just one night.

Your subjects need you.

Your kingdom needs you.

Dare I say it...

...I need you.

Caligo, as I've told you many times,

Queen Lorelei and I--

Of course, of course.

And like you...

...I am inconsolable

over the lost princess.

But we simply must face the fact...

...that with you and the queen

having no heir...

...the kingdom will one day pass

to your nephew, my son.

Hello, Neocrinus decorus.

And how are we today? Aah!

[FERGIS CHUCKLES]

I'm afraid Caligo is right.

Perhaps it is time.

Excellent! And since he'll also need

to choose a suitable wife...

...we'll give a royal ball.

We'll invite only the most beautiful...

...and eligible young mermaids

of the kingdom...

...for a chance to be my son's queen.

FERGIS:

Huh?

Aah!

[GRUNTING]

Aah, aah, aah...

[SNEEZES]

[WHIMPERS]

Oh.

Perhaps we should invite

all the maidens.

And throw in a door prize.

Whoa. Ugh.

[LAUGHS]

MURRAY:

Yoo-hoo!

Hmm.

Aah!

Oh, dear me.

Did I frighten you? Ha-ha-ha.

Who are you? What do you want?

I go by many names,

but you may call me Murray.

I come bearing an eel-mail

from an old friend of yours, Caligo.

Hey!

Gut!

[MURRAY SNICKERING]

I admit tracking you down

was a particular challenge.

But my Bottom Feeders Network

came through.

All right, you've found me.

What is it you want?

Ah, that famous hag hospitality.

A simple request, really.

My employer is once again in need

of your, urn, professional services.

Services? What services?

Caligo convinced His Majesty

to open up the castle for a royal ball...

...at which time the king will confer

the Pearl of the Sea medallion...

...onto Caligo's son.

His Majesty will then toast the boy

from a cup of merberry nectar.

- Which Caligo wants me to poison.

-Exactly.

The king croaks, the son is crowned,

everybody wins.

Well, maybe not the king.

Don't you love a happy ending?

Well, you can tell your employer that

I'm no longer in the poisoning business.

So unless you're interested in buying...

...some gill glistener or scale brightener,

get out!

He said you'd say that.

I am, therefore, authorised

to issue the following threat:

Do it or I'll tell everyone

you killed the princess. Ha-ha-ha.

You wouldn't dare.

He said you'd say that too.

I am, therefore, authorised to respond:

Would so.

Fine.

If it's poison Caligo wants,

it's poison he'll get.

A wise decision.

Here, you'll need this invitation

to the ball.

We'll leave the sordid details

in your expert hands.

After all, it's really all in the execution...

...wouldn't you agree?

[SNICKERS]

Now, don't be late, 8 p.m., Saturday,

at the castle.

LUMINA:
Castle?

-Huh?

What about the castle?

[GASPS]

Well, well. And who is this?

- Hmm.

-Hi. I'm Lum--

- Late again for dinner.

-Aah!

Our guest was just leaving.

But, Aunt Scylla...

Aunt Scylla?

I assumed you lived alone.

- Maybe I should--

-You assumed wrong. Get out!

Aah!

[GRUNTING]

Hmm.

Aunt Scylla.

KU DA:

Hey!

[SCOFFS]

What was your friend talking about?

Did he mean the royal castle?

Are you going there?

Can I go? Can I go? Can I go?

- Please?

-Lumina.

I heard it has golden doors

and pearl chandeliers...

...and a beautiful throne,

and it must be wonderful.

And I've always wanted to go there,

and so does Kuda.

Absolutely not. I've told you

how dangerous the journey is.

I do it to sell my potions,
