ready
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
it's showtime the carnival has come to
town
yeah
[Music]
folks have come from miles around to see
the giant balloons the sideshows on the
Midway and to frolic on the wonderful
rides why Franco is even being kind to
Pinocchio
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
I just love the Merry-Go-Round Pinocchio
you've never been to the carnival before
today have you no but I had so much fun
I spent all my money I spent mine too
I'm tapped out
[Music]
ladies and gentlemen step right up and
see the most Sensational display on this
or any other Midway it's a genuine
Mediterranean mermaid probably the most
incredible display in carnival history
my friends this may be the most
important chance of a lifetime imagine
being in the presence of this beautiful
Immortal who could breed life into a
stick of wood does that mean maybe she
could make a puppet become a real boy
don't be so stupid Pinocchio not even a
mermaid can make a puppet become a real
boy well how do you know what a mermaid
might be able to do that mermaid isn't
even real
she was real what would she be doing in
a flea bitten Carnival mermaids live on
the bottom of the ocean they don't like
the land besides she's half fish why
doesn't she make herself half human
maybe she will
and maybe she likes being the way she is
and if I asked her she'd turn me into a
real boy maybe so it's very important to
me that I should become a real boy I'm
afraid it might be another
disappointment for you I'm beginning to
get used to being disappointed Anna and
if the mermaid isn't real I haven't lost
anything by finding out I think I'll go
and ask her now the man won't let you in
to see the mermaid you have no more
money oh you'd better forget about it
Pinocchio
leave just because we're out of money we
could still play on the Midway it might
be fine to play on the Midway but I
think you're planning to see that
mermaid no matter your kids go someplace
else you're bugging my paying customers
where's Pinocchio
if they don't want to come with me I'll
just do it alone
after all they're already real humans
what do they care about me
because this is as good a place as any
[Music]
welcome ladies and gentlemen to the
world's greatest attraction brought to
you at incredible expense by Yours Truly
oh modesty forbids me to mention the
many hardships I've endured to bring you
this young meat here what the
so may I now present Melissa the mermaid
the Greek discovery of the one and only
snare off
[Music]
right there
[Music]
oh I must speak to Melissa maybe she'll
help me
hey b*at It
[Music]
I wanna go home
somebody please help me to leave this
place
will I ever see my sister my sisters
again or will I spend my entire life
in Juice maybe you'll help me I'm
terribly unhappy you look like a nice
boy won't you help me to go home
[Music]
they've got to cross this bridge to get
out of town
aha here they come now I'd better hide
over in the weeds
it was indeed the carnival leaving town
with the evil sneer off riding in the
lead and as Pinocchio watched the wagon
with the mermaid pass by his
determination to meet her was renewed he
put a simple plan into action
[Music]
hey pull up what's going on back there
[Music]
don't go away
oh
please don't swim so fast I'm not gonna
hurt you
[Music]
there she is now after her man hurry
wait Melissa please
[Applause]
after them you fools quickly I want them
both the boy wants to help you escape
you scared me
[Music]
why is she swimming so fast when I
helped her to escape
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
please don't take me back there don't
worry Melissa I don't work for Mr sneer
off my name's Pinocchio and I'm here to
help you there they are
dare you
[Music]
I hope we're safe now oh
keep throwing
those two must be around here someplace
and I'll find them
keep a sharp eye out you man
you mustn't go out there now why not
they're still there I can't believe a
human oh
what's the matter with you I'm only
trying to help you get away my mother
told me not to trust a human
but I'm not a human I'm a puppet huh
it's true my whole body's made of wood
well you look very much like a human
being to me
maybe that's because my father is a
human being and he made me into a boy so
I could keep him company he's a nice
human I've never met one oh there are
plenty of nice human beings in the world
but you really mustn't compare them to
all those bad people you've met like Mr
sneer off maybe you're right
but what's going to happen now I'm gonna
take you home that is I would take you
home if I knew where your home was oh my
home is very far away on the island of
the mermaids oh
I was the princess of all the mermaids
and even though our Island was very
beautiful I was unhappy because it's
forbidden for us to appear on the
surface in daylight we would sit on the
rocks at night and wonder what it would
be like to bask in the sun until one
morning I decided to find out for myself
so I slipped away from the others and
swam to the surface and it was
everything I'd hoped for it's absolutely
magnificent
but I was soon to be punished for my
Folly
oh hi
mermaid off the pork bean bring
something a fetcher aboard
[Music]
[Music]
mermaids know where all the sunken
treasure is located so if you're smart
you'll take my ship to where you've
hidden it yeah but treasure I don't know
anything about any treasure
I thought the Pirates had treated me
badly I didn't know it then but there
was worse to come smear off ship off the
poor quarter it was worse than I could
have imagined Laura Bolton take me to
patch before he starts target practice
they were two of a kind who knew each
other well my compliments Mr sneer off
but what villainy brings you here this
time
hardly felony Captain patch but perhaps
we might find something with which to
turn a mutual profit as we have in the
past I'm afraid I have nothing that
would interest you
not even a little Maiden
just worthless Flotsam old friend I'd be
pleased to relieve you of the boat
regretfully my mother always made me
care for the weak and helpless
Captain I am deeply moved by your
benevolence
that night when everyone was asleep Mr
snarov proved himself
to rule for your life my land we've got
to be out of the region matches g*ns by
warning or he'll blow us out of the
water
foreign
that's terrible we've got to get you
back to your Island but first you've got
a promise to do something for me huh
mermaids have magic powers and you're a
mermaid so promise that you'll turn me
into a human oh but I can't do that
if you want me to help you get back to
your Island you've got a promise to help
me all right Pinocchio I promise
that mermaid just was a fortune to me we
can't better get away oh oh they're
coming back again I know but we're safe
enough here really sure but please tell
me something will you if I can how long
will it take to turn me into a real
human and will I be real Flesh and Blood
like my classmates and everybody else I
know
I don't know I've never done it before
well that's okay we all have to start
somewhere
oh maybe field wise one could do it she
would be the only one that's great it
must be someone very wise to make real
magic yes will you please take me home
now you bet I will I'm gonna be a real
boy yeah
and I'm certain she hasn't made it to
the Open Sea
mm-hmm
[Music]
she may just decide to swim underwater
all the way down to the Estuary this way
man
[Music]
what is it it's the sea can't you smell
that wonderful scent how I've dreamed of
this moment I'm almost home you mean
mermaid islands close by only an ocean
away
be careful Melissa you're swimming too
fast there may be some traps at the
mouth of the river
[Music]
Melissa be careful
[Music]
somebody's power Don't Panic Melissa
it's just a map we've gotta try to swim
around it
start closing the gap
[Music]
now Paul my little minnows must be tired
after such an exciting swim
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
maybe his Nippers could be our way out
of here hey Mr Crab could you help us
out of here please please Mr Krab
he's not gonna be able to pinch through
the net Come Aboard my little minnows
oh please Mr Crab don't let them capture
us now
[Music]
my beautiful net well I just want you to
know that good help is hard to find
these days
[Music]
oh goodness we've made it to the Open
Sea and we're safe aren't we I'd say so
at least for now Melissa
[Music]
free at last from the evil clutches of
the carnival owner sneeroff The Little
Mermaid was able to swim in the Sun
with Pinocchio at her side she made for
mermaid Island
enjoying her Magic Kingdom for the first
time in daylight
all the creatures of the sea delighted
at her passage and performed a colorful
underwater ballet all their grief was
momentarily forgotten in the Splendor of
their surroundings
see how happy everybody is to welcome
you back to your home Melissa it must be
wonderful to have so many friends
[Music]
but other things lurk Under the Sea like
once fine ship sent to the Bottom by
such as Captain patch
why don't we go up closer to the surface
Melissa
this place kind of gives me the creeps
foreign
this is only one of the cemeteries of
the sea there are many places just like
it and there will be many more as long
as there are wicked humans who sing
great ships let's get away from here
we've arrived at the island of the
mermaids oh I can't wait to see my
sisters what a beautiful place to live
oh you're flying the flag a flag what's
the matter with that isn't it customer
you've never had a flag because we don't
want humans to know about this island
well who do you suppose it belongs to
then
oh there's a big ship it's the pirate
ship
[Music]
oh look they have all my sisters in
cages oh it's terrible to escape and to
come home to something like this my
homeland will never be happy again
now that we've come through all this
trouble you mustn't allow yourself to
lose hope
we better get away from here before they
catch us too wait a minute we mustn't
allow them to be taken away without
making an attempt to rescue them what
can the two of us do by ourselves if
there's only one possibility of saving
them from the Pirates we've got to make
an effort am I right I guess so but
aren't you afraid of course but if I'm
ever gonna become a real human I've
gotta try
ing a human it might not be possible to
transform you
I don't believe that it's just because
you're discouraged now let's see if any
mermaids Escape I'm only trying to save
you from more disappointment but if you
really want to look for others I'll show
you the way all right what are we
waiting for let's go
[Applause]

been to steal the mermaid secret
treasure are you swabs trying to spoil a
little boy's dream

swimming up the channel the little
princess where is she off your starboard
Bowser sheets out ship on sneer off to
belay that man the booty you're looking

Azores until she tells me where the
treasure is the little vixen

do

[Applause]
[Music]
hey I've asked your lovers
where'd you go
after the puppet me hearties and as
Captain patch in his towering rage gave
Chase Melissa far underground arrived at
a secret place known only to the
mermaids it was dark and deserted

Melissa

into a real human being me you do magic
please Mrs mermaid make me a real human
being so that people won't make fun of
me anymore
princess Melissa did you really promise
such a thing to this poor boy I didn't
mean to mislead him but I was so afraid
of those bad
people

sorry but there's no way I have the
power to turn a puppet into a human
being
so you lied to me you were lying to me
all along and I came all this way for
nothing please understand I was afraid
you'd leave me alone and Mr sneer off
would capture me again
I'm being a fool
everybody tries to make a fool out of me
I'll never be anything but a stupid
wooden puppet I wish I had never been
made
[Music]

own business
