Dancin' can be dangerous.

It's safer if you stick
to the seaweed pizza.

I did.

It's pearl!

She is so cool.

Hey, ariel, your party
is totally wavy.

Thanks, pearl.

There's only one
teensy-weensy thing
wrong with it.

What?

The music isn't
loud enough!

I couldn't hear it
over my squid-cycle.

I mean, get in the swim.

Oh, I'll pump up the volume.

Ariel, the king said
you could have this party

Only if you kept
the music pumped down.

Oh, flounder,
don't be such a worry-whale.

According
to my inventory,

Some of the royal jewels
are missing.

As your new royal treasurer,
I must be the one...

To do the royal
inventory, sire.

See to it, glowfish.

Caring for
your treasure is
my pleasure, your majesty.

Actually, your
treasure makes me
green with envy.

Oh, if I were king,

I'd never leave
the royal jewels.

But I'm not the king.

Oh, I'm so blue.

Party on!

Ariel!

Uh, oh. Your majesty.

Oh, hi, daddy. I, uh--
I didn't hear you arrive.

How could you?

Oh, sorry, daddy.
We'll keep it down.

Would you like to--
to dance, daddy?

Me?

Well, I did win
first prize

At the neptune ball
last year.

Your majesty, you dance
very well for your age.

Ooh! My back!

Your majesty!

Daddy?

I think
I'd better get back
to my royal...throne.

Oh, I'll help you.

We have another party
to swim to, ariel. See ya.

Oh. Oh, o.k.
Uh, bye, pearl.

O.k., Bye.
See ya later.

-I hope you feel better,
your majesty.
-Thank you, urchin.

Better not
do somersaults.

You can depend on it,
flounder.

Oh, now I've ruined
your party.

It's all right, daddy.

Oh, I'm just an old
fuddy-duddy.

Oh, you aren't
a fuddy-duddy,
daddy.

Yes, I am.

Seems like only yesterday
you were swimming around

Getting into mischief.

That was yesterday.

Well, it seems long, long ago.

Poor daddy.

Wish there was some way
to make him feel better.

I couldn't help overhearing,
princess ariel,

But I know someone
who has all sorts
of cures and potions.

She's sure to have
something to help
the king.

Why, glowfish,
that's very sweet of you.

And I thought
you could help.
Help me, that is.

So, glowfish,
the king is feeling
his age, is he?

He ought to try living in a cave
for a few centuries!

Give me the youth stone,
and we'll get what we want.

Yes. Yes!

Once it is
in the king's hands,
blow this magic flute.

Its sound will start
the spell

That will make
the royal jewels yours
and freedom mine.

But you must bring me
triton's trident.

Its power can break
the curse

That keeps
my power trapped in here.

I'll be free-- free
to put on a happy face!

Just holding it
makes you feel younger.

I don't feel anything.

Oh, that's because
you're too young.

Then let this old crab get
his clawbones on it.

It only works for fish--

Fish and merpeople.
Fish and merpeople.

Well, I hope it works
for daddy.

Here, daddy, this'll make
your old fish bones
feel like new.

Ariel, I appreciate
your concern,

But it's really not
necessary.

Who's playing
that flute? Hmm?

Daddy?

Daddy? The name's red.

Do I know you two?

Oh, you--
you're a little merboy.

Yeah. Hey, do you want
to play or something?

You can't play.
You're king triton,
ruler of atlantica.

Really? Then I can play
anything I want.

Hey, how about sea horsey?

Oh, no.
Something went wrong.

This is a disaster!

You could say that.

Daddy, stop!

You'll hurt yourself.

Can't catch me!
Heh heh heh!

Daddy! Daddy, wait!

Slow down, my mischievous
little majesty!

And don't worry.
I'll take charge of things.

Especially things
that glimmer and glow.

Well, the sorceress
can wait for the trident.

I have shiny things
to count.

[Ariel]
wait!

Daddy!

Gotcha. Could I please
have the trident?

It's mine. I'm the king.

But it's dangerous.

Wonder what's up there?

Hey, stay here.
I'll check it out.

Daddy, no! Humans
are dangerous, too!

Now, where have I heard
that before?

Daddy, stop!

I just want to have fun.

Don't be
such a fuddy-duddy.

Hey!

Help!

-Daddy!
-Help!

Ariel! Sebastian!

Help!

Oh, man! The king
never should have
disobeyed himself.

Daddy doesn't
know any better.

He's just a child.

Please! Get me
outta here.

Ariel! Sebastian!

I'm scared!

Use your trident
to cut it.

Hey, that was fun.

What do we do next?

Fun? Fun?

Daddy--

I told you,
my name is red.

Red, you were
almost caught
by humans.

Better give me
the trident.

Why? I'm the king.

Well, it's dangerous,

And you don't--

I know
what I'm doing. Watch.

[Ariel]
be careful.

Watch that thing,
you little...

Uh, king you.

Oops!
Sorry, sebastian.

Oh, think
nothing of it,

Your little majesty.

I just won't ride
sea horses for a while.

See? You're going
to hurt somebody.

Aw, don't be
such a worry-whale.

Let's go have
some fun.

Red, no!

He certainly is a royal bundle
of energy.

Yeah, and I wish
he'd run out of it.

[Ariel]
oh, there he is.

Now, daddy, you always
told me

Riding clams
was a foolish waste
of time.

Why would I
say that?

This place
is totally wavy, man.

Red, how many times
must I tell you--

Oh, no. Oh, no! I'm starting
to sound just like my father.

I'm kind of tired,
ariel.

Good. Let's go home.

O.k.

Look!

One of my subjects
needs my help!

Daddy, no!

Your majesty!

Watch this!

That's why
he's the king.

You must be tired,
daddy-- I mean, red.

Why don't you let me

Carry the trident
for you?

Yeah, right. Think
I was born yesterday?

Now, there's an
interesting question.

Careful! Those are
stinging sea nettles.

You know, you're nice,
but you're about as much fun

As an old sea slug.

You're right, but
I'm worried about you, red.

D-don't touch that!

Oh, did his majesty
get a boo-boo?

Why don't you listen?
You're too young to--

Uh-oh, I did it again.

If you had a beard,

I'd think you
was your father

Instead of him.
[Laughs]

Just try
to be careful, okay?

Why do you keep saying that?

'Cause if anything
happened to you,

I'd never forgive myself.

You mean you spoil my fun
because you like me?

Yeah. Kind of strange,
isn't it?

But for the good
of the kingdom
and my sanity,

Well, you'll have
to grow up, daddy.

Being king
is easier than I thought.

All right, glowfish,

You've got
some explaining to do.

Ariel! Well, of course.

You know me.
Anything to... Help.

And so, after I found her,

The lady in the cave and I
became friends, you see.

I had no idea

The gem would do this
to you, your majesty.

I only wanted you
to feel better.

Just keep swimmin',
glowfish.

[Glowfish]
there it is.

May I go now?

Yes, you can go.

You can go into that cave
and get your friend.

Ariel, I don't think
that will be necessary.

We're gonna
meet her...

Face-to-really-big-face.

Oh, have you all come
to rescue me?

Rescue you?
From what?

The terrible spell

That keeps me trapped
in this cave.

Please help me.

There's something
familiar about all this.

I could break
the spell

If you'll just give me
the trident.

Why should i?

I've been trapped
here for centuries.

Please hurry.

What do you think,
ariel?

Hurry. Hurry!

If she's been in there
for centuries,

What's the big hurry?

Give me the trident!

She's planned
this whole thing.

She's in a hurry

Because the spell
that made you young
is going to wear off!

You're too smart
for your own good, mermaid.

Come back here,
glowfish!

We had a deal.

No matter.

I'll just take
what I want.

She's created
an undertow.

Now I remember.

As a child,

Of course I wouldn't
know who she was--

A wicked sorceress i, myself,
condemned to this cave

Long after
my childhood.

But now I'm the one
with the trident.

Are you, sorceress?

Oh, how do you work
this thing?

Yeow!

Better luck
next century, sorceress.

Triton!

Come back!
Come back!

Some day I'll get you
for this, triton!

I'll get you,

And that little
mermaid, too.

And I must say,
your highness,

It is so good
to have you back.

Glad I could help.

Well, guess
I'll be on my way.

Uh, aren't you
forgetting something,
glowfish?

Oh, my, yes.

I-- I am happy
to report

I have recovered
the, uh, missing
jewels. Ta-ta.

Uh, glowfish...

One more thing.

That glowfish
be glowin' now.

I don't remember
everything that
happened today,

But I'm sure I was
a real finful.

It's not easy
being a parent,

Is it, daddy?

The only thing I can think of
that's more difficult

Is being a kid.
