[Fernie] Tomtom for Manman.

I love it when Fernie
invites us over to visit his farm.

His family's always growing

so many fruits
and veggies here.

Well, Fernie's Mom is one of
the best farmers in all of Atlantica.

Yeah, Ms. Mirlande
grows such yummy crops.

I hope Fernie lets us
taste some Today.

I'm in kind of
a sea corn mood.

Yeah, I wouldn't say no
to some saltwater celery.

Oh, look, there's Fernie!

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[all] Hi, Fernie.

Hey, friends,
thank you so much for helping me

with the special surprise
for my manman's birthday.

We wouldn't miss it
for the whole wide ocean,

Fernie.

Psst, Ariel.

What does manman mean?

-Manman is what Fernie calls his mom.
-Oh!

It's kind of like how I call
my grandma Abuelita.

Oh!

His manman
is Ms. Mirlande, ma'am.

Got it.

My manman and papa are growing
a lot of new crops.

We've got bubble breadfruit.

-[Ariel] Uh-uh.
-Ocean okra.

-Ooh.
-And reef rice.

-[all] Ooh.
-[Mirlande] We sure do.

Hello, children.

[all] Bonjou, Ms. Mirlande.

Happy birthday.

Aw, mesi!

Thank you, children.

My heart is so full today.

Are those the new crops
you're growing?

They sure are.

I'm about to take them
into the open market

to share with
all the other Atlanticans.

How fin-tastic!

That's so cool.

But I thought you were
supposed to get presents on your birthday,

-not give them.
-[laughs]

Sharing my hard work
with others

is my birthday gift
to myself this year.

I think that was
your birthday gift to yourself

last year, too, Manman.

[chuckles] I guess
I always know exactly

what to get myself.

Well, don't be late, Manman.

I've got a special
birthday surprise for you.

I wouldn't miss it
for the world,

petit an mwen. Orevwa!

I'll see you later.

So what's the big surprise
for your mom, Fernie?

Come with me. It's right around
the back of the farmhouse.

For my manman's birthday
this year,

I made her favorite food.

It's called Tomtom.

It's a sea-licious
bubble breadfruit dish

-with an ocean okra sauce.
-[Flounder sniffing]

-It smells so good!
-[Ariel] Mmm.

-Delicioso.
-So yummy.

[Fernie] Thanks.

Every time my manman
makes Tomtom,

it turns out clam-azing.

I want mine to be just as good
as hers,

but I don't know
her secret ingredient.

Maybe if you all taste it,
you'll know what's missing.

-Of course.
-We'd love to.

You don't have
to ask me twice.

-Mmm.
-Delicioso.

So yummy!

Mmm.
Mmm.

Yep.
It's just as I thought.

[gulps]

It's yummy!

-[all chuckling]
-[sighs]

But it could use
something extra.

Maybe it's...

[clicks tongue]
No, not that.

What if...

No, no.
Wait.

Salt water bay leaves!

Salt water bay leaves.
That's it.

That must be my manman's
secret ingredient.

Do you grow any of those
on your farm?

We sure do.
Right over this way.

Come on, friends.
Let's go get those bay leaves

and give my manman
the best birthday Tomtom

-she's ever had!
-[Ariel] All right?

[gulps] Yep.

This Tomtom
will be perfect with...

salt water bay leaves!

We grow the salt water
bay leaves right over here.

-Huh?
-[all gasp]

Oh, no. Looks like something
has eaten all the bay leaves.

-[♪ soft music playing]
-Hmm. Hmm.

Wait!
There are some left over there.

Oh, that's great! Yeah!

Whoo!
There are still a few leaves left.

Now, we can make the Tomtom
for my manman

extra tasty and... Huh?

-Oh, no!
-Hey.

That parrotfish
took your bay leaves.

That wasn't very nice.

He must be the one
who was eating your bay leaves.

That does make sense.

Parrotfish loves
to eat bay leaves.

Hey, Mr. Parrotfish, sir.

Those aren't your bay leaves.

We need them for the Tomtom

for Fernie's manman.

[parrotfish squeaking]

How can we get the bay leaves
back from the parrotfish?

-Fernie, look!
-Huh?

[♪ intense music playing]

Maybe if I'm really quiet.

[parrotfish squeaking]

Wait!

-Oh, no.
-Ooh.

Oh, I was so close.

[squeaking]

Does anyone have an idea
on how we can distract the parrotfish?

Mmm.

Ooh, I know.

What if I tell the parrotfish
some of my famous

knock-knock jokes?

He'll be too busy laughing,

he won't even notice
you sneaking up to take back

the bay leaves.

Watch.

Hello, Mr. Parrotfish.

[squeaks]

[clears throat] Knock, knock.

[mimicking] Knock, knock.
Knock, knock.

Huh? Um...

Wait a second.

I'm the one
who's telling the joke here.

[mimicking]
Knock, knock.

Okay, okay.

Who's there?

[squeaks] Who's there?
Who's there?

Well, now, I'm not sure
who's knock knocking

and who's there!

[squeaks] Knock, knock.
Who's there?

Knock, knock.
Who's there?

-I don't know!
-[parrotfish squeaks]

Who's there?
Who's there?

Who's there?

[♪ upbeat music playing]

Knock, knock.

Sorry, friends.
I don't know what happened.

That's okay, Flounder.

We'll just have to find another way
to get those bay leaves back.

Hmm.
I think I might have an idea.

Remember when we got
covered in rainbows?

Those parrotfish
wouldn't leave us alone.

That's right.
Because parrotfish

love chasing
anything that's rainbow.

So what if I use magic
to turn us rainbow again?

Ariel and Fernie
can lead the parrotfish away

while Flounder and I
grab the bay leaves.

Great idea, Lucia.

Let's turn rainbow
and get those bay leaves.

And then it's Tomtom time.

Lots of colors.

Here we go.

Ready or not,
it's time to rainbow.

-Yes!
-[Ariel chuckles]

[squeaking]

-Swim!
-[Fernie laughs]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[both chuckle]

[gasps]

Come and catch us.
[chuckles]

-[cow mooing]
-[both chuckle]

[cow mooing]

It's working.

Let's grab the bay leaves
while we can.

Yeah.

[both gasp]

Oh, no,
I think I'm about to...

I think I'm gonna...

Careful, Lucia.
Don't!

[sneezes]

Huh? [gasps]

And I'm rainbowed.

Uh-oh.
Here they come.

I better get out of sight.

Maybe the parrotfish
won't notice me.

[parrotfish squeaking]

Uh-oh.

I think
the parrotfish noticed.

-[♪ upbeat music playing]
-Huh?

It's still chasing me.

Keep swimming!

[parrotfish squeaking]

[splattering]

[all chuckling]

Uh?
Friends, look.

We're not rainbows anymore.

Flounder, catch?

Yeah!
Whoa!

Oh, sea biscuits.

[squeaking]

We've tried telling jokes
and getting rainbowed.

But nothing has worked.
What should we do?

Mmm.

[gasps] I have an idea.

What if we use music?

If we get
the parrotfish dancing,

he won't notice us
taking back the bay leaves.

-Great idea, Ariel.
-[both] Yeah.

And I have the perfect
instrument we can use.

It's called a Kone horn.

-[♪ jazzy music playing]
-Oh!

Look at the parrotfish bop!

I think he likes the music.

I think you like it, too,
Flounder.

[chuckles] I do!

Almost... got it.

[gasps]

Come on.

So close.

[Flounder] It's now or never.

I'm coming for you,
bay leaves!

[squeaks]

-Oh, no.
-Aww.

[gobbling]

No!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Those salt water bay leaves
were the secret ingredient.

Without them, my manman
won't like the Tomtom.

But the Tomtom you made
is still delicious.

And your manman
will still love it,

even without
the salt water bay leaves.

Yeah, that was the best
Tomtom I've ever had.

Same.

It was also the only
Tomtom I've ever had.

But still.

Thanks for trying
to cheer me up, friends.

But without the bay leaves,

it's just not gonna be
as good.

[♪ enchanting instrumental
music playing]

[gasps]

Fernie, your manman.

[chuckles]

[gasps] Wait!

Manman, that Tomtom
isn't ready yet.

[slurps]

I'm sorry, Manman.

I wanted to make your birthday
as clam-azing as possible.

Oh, Fernando.

I love it.

You do?

Li gen bon gou!

It's delicious.

What a special birthday gift.

But, but it doesn't have
any salt water bay leaves.

That's your secret ingredient.

It's what makes
your Tomtom so tasty.

Fernando, you knew that Tomtom

was my favorite food
in the whole ocean,

which means you
made it with love.

And that's the real
secret ingredient.

Happy birthday, Manman.

I love you.

I love you, too,
petit an mwen.

[all] Aww.

All right.
Now, who wants some Tomtom?

You know how I love to share.

[all] We do, we do!

-[Mirlande] This is good food.
-[Ariel] So good!

[Mirlande] Everybody enjoy it.

[Fernie] Do the Fernie.

[all laughing]

Looks like everyone's
getting ready

for the big
dance festival this afternoon.

I can't wait.

It's gonna be,
it's gonna be...

Ah, I can't decide what word
it's gonna be.

Fin-tastic?

-Clam-azing?
-Flounder-ful?

Yes, those are the words!

All those words.

[♪ dance music playing]

Ooh.

Looks like DJ Navi
is getting ready

for the dance festival, too.

[♪ dance music playing]

All right!

Ooh.

Navi already sounds great.

I wish the dance festival
was starting right now.

[chuckles] I love that
dance, Ariel.

Totally tails.

-I'm wanna try that.
-Me too.

-[groans]
-Yeah.

Oh!

Oh, wow, that's amazing.

Hey, look at that
new dance.

Sea-rific!

Oh, yeah.
Let's go.

Thanks, everyone.
[chuckles]

What a fin-tastic dance.

What's it called?

Well, I don't know,
'cause I just made it up.

[all chuckling]

Ooh.
I know what to call it.

Steel pan roll, please.

-The new dance is called...
-[all chuckle]

The Ariel!

I love it.

Hey, everybody, do the Ariel.

You heard it here
first, Atlantica.

It's time to do the Ariel!

Uh, uh!

[all cheering]

Hey, Fernie's all by himself!

Hey, Fernie!

Don't you want
to do the Ariel?

Oh, I do want to do the Ariel.

It looks like so much fun,

but every time I try it,

it doesn't look anything
like everyone else's moves.

See?

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[groans]

Whoa!

Well, that's okay.

You don't have
to do the Ariel.

-Huh?
-You can dance however you want.

Yeah. Or you could do
one of my moves.

Like the Flounder Flip Flex,

or the Shimmy Shimmy
Twirly Puff.

Whoa!
[chuckles]

Oh.
Whoops.

I accidentally
did the Ariel again.

I know I could do
another dance,

but I really want
to do the Ariel.

It was named
after my best fin.

Well, Fernie,
if you really want to do

the Ariel,
I can teach you.

-Yeah, and I can help.
-Me too.

Aw, mesi.
Thanks, everyone.

With all of you helping me,

I'm gonna be doing
the Ariel in no time.

Okay.
We'll find a place to practice.

Let's paddle.

Okay, Merfins.

Ready to do the Ariel?
[chuckles]

Oui! Oui! Oui!

-Yes!
-Si!

Okay, let's take it
from the top.

Five, six,

five, six, seven, eight.

Lift your hands...

Uh.

Hmm?

Or fins.

Thank you.

Way up high.

-[chuckling]
-[groaning]

-[Ariel] Feel the rhythm.
-Ooh.

-[Ariel] Let it fly.
-[chuckles]

-Huh?
-[Ariel] Swish and spin,

give it a whirl.

Now wiggle, wiggle, wiggle

and do a twirl!

Huh?

Whoa!

Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!

-Whoa!
-[Ariel] Watch out!

-Fernie!
-Yikes!

Uh.

Thanks, everybody.

I guess I got
a little tangled up.

It's okay.
Remember,

you can dance
however you want,

even if it's not the Ariel.

Or I could help you
with magic.

Or you can just do this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's called the Wiggle,
Jiggle Sea Squiggle.

Thanks, but I still want
to try and do the Ariel.

I just need to think
of how to do it.

[gasps] I got it!

I love science.

I'm great at science.

I just need to solve
this problem with science.

That's a great idea.

How do we do that?

Well, when I learn
new fish facts,

I write everything down.

So maybe if I do that
with the Ariel, I'll get it.

-Makes sense.
-Good thinking.

[Fernie] Okay,
here's the plan.

While you all dance,

I'll write down notes
in my new dance facts notebook.

All right, we're ready.

-Let's dance.
-Bailemos.

Okay, I'm ready.

Lift your hands or fins

way up high.

Feel the rhythm,
let it fly.

Hands way up.

Oh, this is kind of tricky.

[Ariel] Swish and spin.

Give it a whirl.

Now wiggle, wiggle, wiggle

and do a twirl!

[chuckles]

Wiggle, wiggle...

How many wiggles?

Uh-oh.
Watch the wiggles, Fernie!

Too much wiggle.

Whoa!

Watch out
for that Bootle Scootle.

Got it!

Phew!

Uh-oh.

I got it!
I got it! I got it!

See!
Told you I'd get it.

Sorry about that.

Dancing and writing
at the same time

is harder
than I thought it would be.

Maybe I need
to try something else.

We believe in you, Fernie.

You'll get it!

But you've been
trying so hard.

It might help
if you took a break

and relaxed for a little bit.

But the dance festival's
going to start soon.

Uh, let me think.
[gasps]

What you just said
about relaxing

gave me an idea, Ariel.

Maybe if we dance someplace
where I feel more relaxed,

then I'll learn the dance.

-Brilliance.
-Makes sense.

Awesome.

[mooing]

Coming to your family's farm
was a great idea, Fernie.

Out here, you get to be around
all the things you love.

Sea creatures.

Check.

[mooing]

-Sea plants.
-Check. Check.

What are these called, Fernie?

Those are sea fans.

[grunts and laughs]

So boingy.

Whoo-hoo! Yeah.
Whoo-hoo!

[sighs] I think
this is gonna work.

Being out in nature
is my happy place.

I'm really starting
to feel relaxed.

Well, then, keep on relaxing

and let's do the Ariel.

Lift your hands or fins
way up high.

Feel the rhythm,

let it fly.

[sighs] So relaxing.

Now, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
and do a twirl!

So relaxed.

[chuckles]

Fernie.
Watch where you're swimming.

[sighs]
[screams]

Not relaxed anymore.
Not relaxed.

I've got him.
Bubble-cabubble!

I bubble ca-missed!

Whoa! Whoa!

Bubble-cabubble again!

Huh?
[sighs]

[laughs]

Bubble ca-nice catch, Lucia.

[sighs] Thanks
for trying, everyone.

But for some reason,
I just can't do this dance.

We can keep trying
if you want, Fernie.

Yeah. Maybe you're just thinking too much
about all the moves.

With more practice,
I'm sure you'll get it.

I would keep trying, but

it's almost time
for the dance festival.

We should head back.

Maybe I won't be doing
the Ariel today,

but at least
I'll be with my best fins.

Whoo! Whoo!

Wow!

DJ Navi sounds even more
clam-azing than before.

Totally tails.

I mean, totally Flounderful.

[both chuckle]

Mmm.

[♪ dance music playing]

[crowd cheering]

I just don't know
why I couldn't figure out

how to do the Ariel.

I tried science, relaxing.

Hey, what's that dance
you're doing?

Dance?
What do you mean?

-[gasps] Wow.
-Whoa!

That dance
that you're doing right now.

Huh?
I didn't know I was dancing.

Wait, don't stop.

It's so cool.

I was just moving
my arm like this.

I like it.

Awesome dance.

-[woman] I wanna learn!
-I love this dance.

-Teach me!
-What's happening?

Fernie,

you just made up
your own dance.

[chuckles]

Oh, my fins, Ariel,
you're right.

This is so much fun.

[all exclaiming]

[man] What is this
dance called?

The Fernie!

This dance
is called the Fernie.

[chuckles]

I can't believe people
are dancing to the Fernie.

I can't believe I'm dancing
to the Fernie.

The one thing I didn't try

was dancing however I want.

Just like you said, Ariel.

[chuckles]

[whispering]

Let's go, Atlantica!

Let's do the Fernie!
