The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning
THE LITTLE MERMAID-ARIEL'S BEGINNING (2008)
[Sebastian] The world above
is a wonderful place.
But everyone knows
the true magic lies...
... under the sea,
where the water is clear,
the fish swim free,
and the mer-people live
in the beautiful kingdom of Atlantica.
[laughter]
[Sebastian] King Triton ruled the seas
with a fair hand...
- Yoo-hoo!
- You're very kind.
- [cooing]
- ... and an open heart.
Ariel! Oh!
- [clears throat]
- [gasps]
[blows deep note]
[guffawing]
[Sebastian chuckles] Oh, mon.
Triton's beloved queen, Athena.
She and their seven
darling princesses
filled his life with joy and song.
# Oh, the waves roll low
# And the waves roll high
- # And so it goes
- Oh! [chuckling]
# Endless sky
# Waves try to measure
# The days that we treasure
# Wave hello
# And wave goodbye #
Good night, girls.
[Sebastian] Ah, yes,
the king loved his queen,
and he took every opportunity
to show her.
[playing Athena's Song]
#... endless sky #
Our song.
Our song.
[Sebastian] Oh, mon!
It was a magical time!
The pure joy of song
filled life in Atlantica.
[playing shell]
[all harmonizing]
[gasping]
[all giggling]
- Shh.
- [laughs]
- [all gasp]
- [sighs]
[all exclaim, laugh]
[Sebastian] But even the brightest days
can be darkened by an unseen tempest.
- [rumbling]
- [gasping]
Go!
[all exclaiming]
[gasps, grunting]
[gasps]
[Sebastian] Somewhere in the chaos,
Queen Athena was lost to us.
Athena!
No!
[softly plays Athena's Song]
[Sebastian] Each note
of that lovely melody
seemed to deepen the king's anguish.
He couldn't bear to hear it.
[growling]
[Sebastian] From that moment on,
And music was banned from Atlantica...
[whispers]... forever.
Ten years later,
Atlantica looked the same.
But I can't say that about...
everything.
[both squeaking]
[sighs]
- Uppy-uppy, my darlings.
- It's us.
[girls groan]
[groans] Governess!
- Hey!
- Rise and shine.
- Why so early?
- Mustn't be late.
But it's still dark out.
Uh...
- Oh. Hi.
- Wakey-wakey.
- Oh, I was dreaming about a boy.
- Yes. Come on, girls.
- But I need my beauty sleep.
- Tell me about it.
Easy for you.
No one cares what you look...
- Move it.
- I think you're lovely.
Can't we meet Father later?
I don't get to make
those kinds of decisions. [laughs]
Any decisions, really.
[yawning]
- Get up!
- [all gasp]
- OK, we heard you.
- We're going as fast as we can.
All right, all right, all right.
Move your tails.
This is our special time
with your father.
Special?
It's the same every morning.
- She's got a point.
- That's what your father cares about.
Predictability,
presentation, punctuality.
- That's all Dad cares about.
- She's got a point.
- You've got your own mirror!
- Two minutes.
Stop primping!
- Anyway, I told her, she used to...
- Come on, Ariel.
Why can't he let us do
something different? Just once.
Give him a break.
He's the king, remember?
- You try running a kingdom.
- I wouldn't run it like this.
Don't upset him, Ariel.
Just because you're the oldest, Attina,
- doesn't mean you can boss us around.
- Yes, it does.
Benjamin, if we're late again,
I'll never get a promotion.
- Marina...
- [Attina] Come on, girls.
Not that I want a promotion.
No, no, no, I love this job.
Looking after you is what I live for.
Really.
- I hate this job!
- The less said the better.
- [whinnying]
- [panting]
Whoa! Whoa!
- Good morning, Your Highness.
- [Triton] Sebastian.
- Oh! [chuckles]
