Barbie in A Mermaid Tale 2 (2012)

[bunniefuu]

[UPBEAT SURF ROCK PLAYING]

Welcome back to
Good morning Oceana!

Today, we're celebrating the one-year
anniversary of Princess Merliah's arrival

to our underwater world.

Merliah rocks.
Oh, and she's so beautiful.

Merliah was the daughter
of our own Queen Calissa.

But since the poor girl
was born with legs,

Calissa gave Merliah to
her human grandfather, Break.

And not a moment too soon.

Calissa herself was soon imprisoned
by her wicked sister, Eris,

a tyrant who ruled over us all
for years with an iron fin.

[SCREAMING]

BOTH: She's so evil!

But brave Merliah
came to Oceana's rescue,

diving down to our world where
she accepted her true self.

I am Merliah, half-mermaid
princess of Oceana,

and it is my duty
to protect my subjects.

Whoa!

[GASPS]

Merliah became a real mermaid and
gained the strength to defeat Eris

who wound up caught
in her own whirlpool,

and vanished to the deepest
trench of the ocean.

I don't deserve this!

With Eris gone,
Merliah released Calissa

who again ruled us with love while spinning
Merillia, which gives life to the sea.

In return, Calissa gave
Merliah a magic necklace

that enabled her to become a human
or a mermaid any time she wished.

And since then, our princess
has been a superstar

in both the human
and merworlds!

Why, this very day, sources tell
me she's up on the surface

competing in the biggest
surf-meet of her life!

So, happy anniversary,
Princess Merliah.

And may the happy times
continue for all of Oceana!

BOTH: She's the queen
of the waves!

[UPBEAT SURF ROCK PLAYING]

ANNOUNCER: We've got a great
day here at Laguna beach

for this year's
Surf Invitational.

These riders have really
been heating up the waves,

including our current contestant
and Malibu crowd favorite,

Merliah Summers.

Great goin', Merliah!
Go, Merliah!

Woo-hoo!

Hey!
Mind if I drop in?

ANNOUNCER: Looks like
Merliah's biggest competition

out there this year
is Kylie Morgan.

She's really given Merliah
a run for her money.

This is my wave, Kylie.

We'll see about that.

Comin' through!

Beat that.

I could do better
with my eyes closed.

Oh, yeah!

Let me show you how it's done.

You call that style?

Huh.

Yes!

ANNOUNCER: Whoa!
Merliah Summers busted out a new trick!

Way to go, Merliah, way to go!

I got one thing to say
to you, Merliah...

Let me guess, "Whoa"?

Whoa!

Thanks, Grandpa.

You thrashed it, Merliah.
You're taking this meet.

Your run was great too, Fallon.

Wait, I'm seeing avision.

The two of you, holding surfboards,
cuddling koalas in Australia!

Oh, sorry, did I get you?
My bad.

Aggro-much?

Come on, Fallon.
I thought it was a nice carve.

If she'd had more of those
on the waves today,

she might even have
a shot at beating me.

You mean, the way I whooped
you last week in La Jolla?

Actually, I was thinking more about the way
I beat you the week before in Redondo.

In your dreams.

Listen up, dudes and dudettes.
Our panel of judges have chosen our winners.

Third place, Fallon Casey!

Yes!

You did it!
[WHOOPING]

Fallon, that's amazing.

First and second place are up next.
That's gotta be you two.

It almost doesn't matter
who's first.

Oh, it matters.

And second place, Kylie Morgan!

Second?

And in first place, queen of
the waves, Merliah Summers!

Yes! Way to go!
Nice work, baby girl!

[EXCLAIMS IN ANGER]

These three surfers now advance

to the World Championship Surf
Invitational in Australia.

Group hug! Group hug!
Oh, my! This is huge!

You too, Kylie, come on.

You were lucky, mate.
But your luck's going to run out Down Under.

That's my turf

She's just a little ray
of sunshine, isn't she?

[SNOUTS BARKING]

Snouts!

Hey, what did you think?

I know someone else
who will be stoked for you.

[GASPS] My mom!
I'm gonna go tell her.

See you later.

See you later.
Bye, Merliah.

Catch you later, Merliah.
Have fun!

I wish to become a mermaid.

Race you to Oceana.

Do the Mermaid

Everybody, jump Jump right in

Hula with the flow
And then jimmy with the swim

Oh, yeah

Do the Mermaid

Grab your nose Snorkel down

All the pretty mermaid girls
are dancing all around

Yeah, yeah

Do the Mermaid

Do the Mermaid

Everybody, drop Drop right in

Join the party wave

Everybody, make the boat
Rock rock rock

Everybody, make the boat
Rock rock rock rock

Do the Mermaid

Do the Mermaid

Join, join, join the party wave

Ride, ride, ride the party wave

Give, give, give the party wave

Live, live, live the party wave

Hi, nice to see you again.

Hello! Hi!

Hi. Nice to see you...

Happy anniversary!
Oh, thanks.

Oh, Princess Merliah,
we're all wondering,

how did you do
at the big surf meet today?

I'd be happy to tell you all about it,
but first, I want to tell my mom.

Snouts can fill you in
on the highlights, though.

Thanks so much. Bye!

[BARKING]

I see. Is that "Arf"
with one F or two?

Thank you.

I remember
my mother gave me this

before my first changing
of the tides ceremony.

Oh!

It's beautiful, Mom.

Merliah!

Welcome back, Merliah.

So how did it go?
Did you win?

Well...

I won!

Wonderful!

Congratulations, Merliah!

Thanks, Zuma.

I've been pulling out some special
things to pack for the trip.

What is it?

It's a see shell.
You can see its owner's memories.

Show me the last changing
of the tide ceremony.

So that's Aquelia.

Yes, the city where
Merfolk history began,

deep in the waters
off New Zealand.

Every 20 years, a member of the royal
family must return to Aquelia,

sit atop the ancient throne and
regain the power to make Merillia.

That's you?

I was so nervous.

Still, I took my place on the
throne and spoke the ancient rite.

"With the changing of the tides
Merillia power will arise."

"The royal mermaid
on the throne,"

"her fullest mercel
now is known."

And then, at exactly midday,
it happened.

Whoa!

When it was all over, I had
the power to make Merillia

and give life to the sea.

That's amazing.
You must be so excited to do it again.

I wish you could have
the honor.

But the magic was so powerful,

it transformed my tail forever.

I fear it would transform
yours too,

and you would be unable
to use your legs again.

I can't even imagine.

I'm just thrilled
you'll be there to watch.

Well, actually,

the ceremony is the same
day as the Invitational.

And?
Um...

And so, I can't make it.

You what?

Uh-oh.

[SIGHS]

You'll just have to miss
this one surf meet.

You're the princess
of Oceana, Merliah.

You must be at the ceremony.

Hey, Merliah,
you wanna catch a movie?

Karate Squid?
Raiders Of the Lost Carp

Kylie Morgan will be there.

This will be my chance,
once and for all

to prove I'm better
than she is.

In front of the whole
surfing world.

True worth isn't measured in comparison to others.
Life isn't a competition.

Let's make the funniest faces
we can think of.

Mom, please listen to me.
I know you want me to see the ceremony,

but I have to go.

Hey, anyone ever seen
a dolphin juggle?

Merliah, it's important
to the merpeople of Oceana

that their princess takes an
interest in the future of the ocean.

But what about what's important to me?
Don't you even care?

Mom, don't you see?
I've been working for this my whole life!

If you really care, you'll
understand that and be happy for me.

Merliah, come back!

[GROANS]

So, that went well.

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: What a capper to an
incredible day on the wave.

This final qualifying heat

of the World Championship Surf
Invitational has been brutal.

But it's not over yet.

You're in for a real treat now.

We're seeing two of this year's
key riders going head to head.

Merliah Summers and her
rival, Kylie Morgan.

This should prove to be
an exciting match up.

Go, Merliah!

Merliah Summers shows us all how it's
done with her signature style and grace

while pulling an amazing
backside reverse Kerrupt flip.

Whoa! Watch the backside
air reverse by Kylie Morgan.

Can anyone challenge
those skills?

Merliah Summers answers
with a 360 rocket grab.

It's a grudge match
on the waves.

Say good bye to first place,
Merliah Summers.

Wow! A wicked kick flip on her
board from Kylie Morgan.

Hey!

[GROANS]

I can't believe it!

Merliah Summers
shoots the tube on her hands!

Oh! What a wipe out
after a beautiful ride.

But Kylie Morgan's
riding strong.

She aces the tube and comes
out with a backside air 720!

[HORN BLARING]

All right!

Ride on, then. That's the heat.
Come on in!

Do you think she'll still
move on, after that wipeout?

Not sure. She has to get into
the top three to move on,

like I did in my heat.

Think good thoughts.

[SIGHS]

Good thoughts.
Kittens, ponies, sardine and jam.

It's an acquired taste.

Fuzzy pink slippers.

Merliah, wait up!
You've got something on your back.

Oh, wait, that's just
my foot prints

'cause I stomped all over you.

Very funny. We'll see what
happens tomorrow at the finals.

Mmm-hmm.
If you qualify.

[PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Excuse me. I'm guessing they just wanna
talk to me about my k*ller technique.

Merliah, over here!
Just one more picture, please?

How long did you have to train
for that move?

REPORTER: Then when you wiped out.
You okay? 'Cause you look...

ANNOUNCER:
And the scores are in!

Cinnamon bunny ears. Sugar coated surf boards.
Marshmallow pillows.

Moving on from this heat
to tomorrow's finals,

third place, Ally Mahoney.

Second place, Merliah Summers.

And, in first place,
Kylie Morgan.

Congratulations, surfers.

Wow, I can't believe
I won first place.

Me, Kylie, the winner!

Merliah, what do you call
that handstand move?

It's called the Summer
Switcheroo, of course.

And we'll be featuring it in our new
ad campaign for Wave Crest surf gear

What?

That is, if you're interested
in being our new spokesperson.

But, you, you're Georgie Majors.
You created Wave Crest!

I wear your clothes
all the time. I love them.

And I love your spirit.

So, what do you say?

We can do our first
photoshoot at tonight's luau.

Are you kidding? Yes!

Dazzling. I'll see you then.

I can't wait.

Ms. Majors, Ms. Majors,
I wanted to introduce myself.

Kylie Morgan.
I won the last heat

You know, me, not Merliah, me.

Oh, I see.
Congratulations.

I'm just saying in case you
wanted another spokesperson

or a different one...
I can do handstands too.

See? One handed, even.

Yeah, impressive.
See you at the luau.

But, I won the last heat.
I won...

Whoa!

[EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION]

Oh! The Mercropolis
is stunning.

Uh-huh.

It's an honor to be
here with you.

I'm glad you see it that way.

You can go talk to her,
you know.

We're not far from
the Australian coast.

Calissa!

Ambassadors!

Calissa, we're so glad you're here.
It's been forever.

And this must be Zuma.
It's a pleasure.

Nice meeting you.

Kattrin. Still the fastest
mermaid in the ocean, I see.

Isn't it glorious,
here at the Mercropolis?

So open,
and beautiful and free.

It has the perfect energy for the
changing of the tides ceremony.

It does, Mirabella.
It's wonderful to see you.

Calissa, you look stunning.

Never as stunning as you, Selena.
Your tail is breathtaking.

I know. Look, the light
dances off of it when I swim.

Enchanting.

Renata. Always a pleasure.

Your Highness.

We need to catch up.

There's a blissful spot
at the top of the Mercropolis.

We can see for miles.

That sounds perfect.

Meet you in two shakes
of a mertail!

Last one there
is a rotten fish egg.

Uh, weren't we gonna go
somewhere, Your Majesty?

No, Zuma. Merliah knows where to
find me if she really wants to.

[SIGHS]

Hey, look, a sea lion!

Oh, he's so cute.

[SNOUTS BARKING]

What's that?

I think it's looking at me.

Well, that's pickled
beetroot and poi, mate.

They're delicacies of Australia and Hawaii.
We should try some.

A big helping for me, please.

Ew!

PHOTOGRAPHER: Yeah, that's it.

Let's try a surprised.
All right.

Fierce.

Yeah, that's it, that's it.
Beautiful, loving it. Oh, that's it.

My, I love your necklace.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it's a
little too distracting.

It draws attention away
from the marvelous

Wave Crest suit you're wearing.

You'll have to lose it.

I want everything
you're wearing

to be Wave Crest's
latest and greatest.

Try this on instead

Would you mind if I keep it on?
It's very important to me.

I never take it off.

That's lovely.
And thank you for asking so nicely.

You're welcome.

But the answer's no.

You're a Wave Crest
surf gear girl.

You wear Wave Crest
surf gear and accessories.

You do want to be a Wave
Crest surf gear girl, right?

I do. It's a huge opportunity.

Yes, it is.

Hmm.

Oh! Yuck!

Mmm.

How can you eat that?

It's a local delicacy.

You were the one
who told me to try it.

That was before I tasted it.

Does that mean
I can have yours?

Are you serious?

Here.

Yes!

[GASPS] Water!

Hey, Hadley. Do you mind holding
my stuff while I do the sh**t?

It'll just be a few minutes.

Mmm. Mmm-hmm.

Cool. My watch and necklace
are in the pocket,

so please be careful
they don't fall out.

Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.

Thanks.
Enjoy your sludge.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Oh, lovely.
Oh, give me more of that.

Give me more of that, Merliah.
MERLIAH: Like this?

Okay, now turn your head up a little?
That is just so cute.

Okay, beautiful.

ALISTAIR: My, aren't we
the life of the party.

Huh?

Observant, too.

Where are ya? Tish-tosh.
Must I spell everything out for you?

Look down. Like the ends
of your frowny little mouth.

[SCREAMING]

Oh, brilliant!
Scream and get everyone's attention

before I can tell you how to beat Merliah
Summers in the tournament tomorrow.

No wonder you're not
getting endorsements

You're a common sense
nightmare.

Wait, uh, Mr. Fish?

What did you say?

You're a common sense
nightmare?

Uh, before that.
About Merliah.

Oh, well...
The girl has a magical advantage.

I'm surprised you haven't
figured that out for yourself.

She has a necklace
that gives her special powers.

You take that necklace,
you take her powers.

A magic necklace?
You're bonkers!

Am I? You're the one
talking to a fish.

Fair enough. Go on.

If you want to win, you get that
necklace and bring it back here.

How? I can't just
pull it off her neck.

Oh, it's a crime I'm lower
on the food chain than you.

The necklace isn't on
Merliah's neck,

it's in the pocket
of her hoodie,

which is being held by her
goop devouring friend.

So, you want me
to just take it?

Oh, forget it.

I clearly mistook you for someone
who actually wanted to win. Ta ta.

Wait!
[CHUCKLES]

Yes?

I'll get the necklace.

[CHUCKLES]

All right there.
Oh, that's the one.

Dazzling. Oh, now, do one
with the Summer Switcheroo.

PHOTOGRAPHER: Yeah, that's it.
Beautiful, beautiful.

Hold it, hold it right there.
Oh, that's the one.

Very good, very good.
Thank you, Merliah.

Mmm. Mmm.

[GROANS]

Please tell me I'm not too late

for more pickled
beetroot and poi.

Are you kidding?
I'm swimming in the stuff.

You can have as much
as you want, love.

Yes! Load me up, please.

More?

Hey, Hadley.
Let me give you a hand.

I'll hold the hoodie
while you take your

tasty looking meal
to your seat.

Thanks, Kylie.

That's the great thing
about sports, you know.

On the waves, you and Merliah
are in each other's face,

and "I'll get you" and scratch each
other and salt water everywhere.

But, you know, in real life,

you're not like that at all.

No, not like that at all.

Enjoy your grub.

It's really good.
Here, try some.

Good luck at the meet tomorrow.

Oh, if you get nervous, they say you should
imagine everyone in their underwear.

Except, at a surf meet, everyone's
in their bathing suits...

Hmm, that's a lot
like underwear.

Thanks for the tip.
But you know what?

All of a sudden I'm feeling
really good about tomorrow.

[EXCLAIMS HAPPILY]

Here it is.

Look, I just don't know
about all this.

Fine, fine.

Now, put on the necklace
and jump in the water.

Jump in the water?
But...

Do you know
a better way to swim?

Look, if you want my help
you'll do what I say.

In, now!

Now repeat after me.

"I wish to become a mermaid."

"I wish to become a mermaid?"

Huh?

[GASPS]

[BARKING]

Uh, what's happening to me?

Oh!

Oh, bye, little guy.

Follow me, all the way under.

Wait!

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Yes, congratulations.

Now, you're a mermaid.

You look like
a greedy little chipmunk.

You can breathe under water,
you know.

[MUFFLED] I can breathe?

[EXHALES]

Oh! [SIGHS]

Pickled beetroot and poi!

[EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST]

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I can breathe under water.

And I have a tail

How is it possible?

Same way it's possible
for Merliah.

That's the first part
of the secret to her success.

There's more?

You think just being a mermaid
makes you a better surfer?

You really think you can lug that
thing onto a board and hang one?

No, but...
You'll get all the answers you want,

but only if you stop asking
questions and follow me.

MERLIAH: Uh, my necklace
has to be here.

We've looked everywhere.

I just don't get it.

How did it
fall out of my pocket?

I don't know.
Merliah, I'm so sorry.

I'm not blaming you.
I just need to find it.

You do, but we can't look
any more tonight.

The necklace could be right in front
of us and we wouldn't see it.

We'll see better
in the morning.

But I have to find it.
Let's keep looking.

[GASPS]

Your Majesty,
I brought you the girl.

She'd like your help
with her surfing.

ERIS: Oh, well,
I'd be happy to help.

Come close, my dear,

so I can hear you.

I want to be able to surf
better than...

I can't hear you,
my dear. Lean closer.

I want to be able to surf...

You know what,
I really just wanna go...

Go!

[SCREAMING]

Ah, freedom!

Oh, well done, Alistair.

Still, you could have been
speedier about it.

But you said the changing of the tides
ceremony isn't until noon tomorrow.

I think I carried out your orders
quite swiftly all things considered.

Would you like to know
how it feels

inside one of those whirlpools?

Uh, but no.

Then don't try to tell me
how swiftly you got me out.

Yes, Your Majesty, I mean, no.

I mean, I wont...

Good.

Now, come.

We have to make sure I'm on the
throne of Aquelia at mid-day.

And then I'll have the power to make
Merillia, and the ocean will be mine!

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

[MOCKING] "And then I'll have the power to
make Merillia and the ocean will be mine!"

[MOCKING EVIL LAUGHTER]

[SCOFFS] Not that you could have
done any of it without my help.

What did you say?

Uh...

Kelp. I can't do anything
without my kelp.

Hmm, yum.

Wise choice.
Stick with that.

[EXCLAIMING IN DISGUST]

"Wise choice.
Stick with that."

I'll stick with what I like,
thank you very much.

[SNOUTS BARKING]

ls someone there?
Please.

Help me out of here.

[BARKING]

Wait, where you going?

Come back!

[BARKING]

It's nowhere and it wasn't
on the beach either.

Okay, we just need
to think clearly.

[YAWNING] I think
it's too early to think.

Hmm.

Liah?

It's the ocean.
It feels wrong somehow.

There's a bad energy.

[BARKING]

Snouts?

Something's going on
down there, isn't it?

[BARKING]

Here too. My necklace is gone.
It disappeared last night.

[BARKING]

It's all connected, isn't it?

What happened?

[LAUGHING] Girl...

If I didn't know better, I'd think
that sea lion is pretending to be...

Kylie!

Snouts, are you saying Kylie had
something to do with my necklace?

[SNOUTS BARKING]

[LAUGHING] That's so funny.

I was with Kylie last night while
I was holding your hoodie...

Wait, you were with Kylie?

She only held the hoodie for a second
so I could balance all of my plates.

She held the hoodie?

You keep repeating what I say.

Did you get water
in your ears yesterday?

I have to go down there.

How? If Kylie has the necklace
you can't become a mermaid.

No, but I can still
breathe underwater.

I just won't have a tail

Wish me luck.

If everything goes well I'll be back
for the final heat this afternoon.

Be careful down there.
Good luck, Liah.

Let's go!

[SNOUTS BARKING]

[ALISTAIR PANTING]

I wonder if I could
trouble Your Majesty

to slow down just a tad.

Flapping my fins like this all
night, I'm starting to chafe

[GROWLING]

It's nothing, Alistair.

You're seeing things.
There's nothing to be frightened of at all.

You'll see.

Oh!

Don't panic, Alistair.

Do not panic.

Eris!

Eris!

Honestly, Alistair.
What is it this time...

Oh, well...

What have we here?

Terror!

Sheer utter terror,
Your Majesty.

I can see why.

Oh, that is impressive.

Tell me, which one of you
is in charge?

I am.

And I don't like intruders.

You and your pet will
turn back immediately.

Her pet?
Well, I never...

[LAUGHING NERVOUSLY]
Look, I'm rolling over.

I'm afraid this is the fastest
way to where I need to go.

You allow me and my pet
to pass,

and I'll allow you to become my loyal
servants and carry out my bidding.

[LAUGHING]

And why would we do that?

Oh, I was hoping
you'd ask that.

From your deepest,
darkest fears

your nightmare terror
now appears.

[IN SQUEAKY VOICE] Hey.
Hey, what's going on?

What happened to me?

You, my friend, have just had
the honor of being the first

to experience my newest
magic blast.

Which makes your
greatest fear come true.

No, turn me back to normal.
Please, you've got to.

Oh, I don't got to.

But I do have plenty of
nightmares to go around.

And I'm very eager
to see them in action.

So, what do you think?
Would you care to join your leader

or would you rather follow me?

[GROWLING]

Wise choice.

Come then.
Aquelia awaits.

Hey! Hey, you can't
leave me like this!

Did you hear that?
Come back!

[SNOUTS BARKING]

KYLIE: Help!
Help me please.

Oh, no. No!

Kylie?

Merliah, is that you?

Yes, it's me.

Don't worry, I'm gonna
get you out of there.

A leash.

Okay, Snouts.
Keep an eye on the leash.

[BARKS]

Okay, Kylie, I'm coming in.

[WHINING]

Whoa!

Yes!

Merliah!

The current's even stronger
than I remembered.

I can't climb out.

[BARKING]

Oh, no!

[GRUNTS] What's happening?

It's okay, I've got you.

Try and climb.
I'll pull.

We'll pull.

[GRUNTS]

I can't!

What? Since when does the
queen of the waves give up?

Climb!

[GRUNTING]

Swim away!

[BARKING]

[BOTH PANTING]

Wow!

Yeah, I'm kinda feeling
the same thing.

Did you know?

Is that why you took
the necklace?

No, I had no idea.

It was the fish.
The talking fish.

How could there be a talking fish?
What am I saying?

I look like a talking fish.

What happened
with the talking fish?

He pushed me.

And when I fell inside, this,
this mermaid burst out.

But an evil looking mermaid.

Eris!

I never should have
taken your necklace.

I just wanna go home and
forget this ever happened.

Here.

Thank you.

[GULPING]

Oh, no!

You have to say,
"I wish to become a mermaid."

[MUFFLED] "I wish to
become a mermaid."

[EXHALES]

Are you okay?
I wasn’t even thinking.

Me neither.

Maybe I'll just hold onto the
necklace until we get back.

Good idea.
Snouts will take you.

I have to stay down here.

Why?

The mermaid from the whirlpool
is Eris, my aunt.

Your aunt?

If she's free, she'll try to
control the entire ocean.

And enslave every
living thing in it.

Then I'm going with you.

Kylie, we're thousands
of feet underwater.

This isn't exactly
your element.

My element?
I'm a surfer.

The ocean is my life.

If your aunt is gonna hurt
it I wanna help stop her.

Besides, I think you saved my life
twice in the last five minutes.

I owe you.

I can't let you do it.
It's too dangerous.

Didn't you say
we only have till noon?

We're wasting time talking.

Okay, you're right.
We have to hurry.

Let's go.

Um, Kylie,
do you think maybe, uh...

Oh, sorry, I'll drive,
you navigate.

Perfect.

I thank you, ambassadors.

As we await
the mid-day sun,

let us enjoy together
a ceremonial tea.

You are not setting
a place for me?

Eris!

And I brought guests.

[GROWLING MENACINGLY]

I don't know how
you escaped, Eris.

But you will not interfere with the
changing of the tide ceremony.

I wonder if I did, would it
be your worst nightmare?

You have one chance to end
this peacefully, Sister.

Turn back
and leave us. Now!

Hmm, let methink
about that one. No!

[GROWLING]

[EXCLAIMS]

I was always faster
than you, Sister.

Unfortunately,
not smarter, Sister.

You don't enjoy
a fight like I do.

That's your problem.

I don't try to fight, but I
will, to defend the ocean.

[GROANING]

Renata!

Oh, tsk, tsk.

Compassion is your
downfall, Sister.

Ah, no!

I can't swim. My tail!

It's so heavy.

No!

Your nightmare come true!

Eris!

[GASPS] Calissa.

Get her.

Oh! Your turn?

[GROWLING]

Welcome to your worst
nightmares, ambassadors.

Ooh, let's see what
frightens you the most.

[SPEAKING SLOWLY]
What have you done?

Taken your speed, apparently.

[SOBBING]

And you've lost all your
confidence and bravery.

Boo!
Ah!

[SOBBING]

Need a visual?

[GURGLING]

[EXCLAIMS] No!

Well, look at this.

Get me out of here!
I can't stand being closed in.

Oh! I think I'd much rather
enhance the experience.

And just like that,
Eris has defeated you all.

You might say it's shocking!

[LAUGHS]

Uh, what?

Don't you think that is something
I would have wanted to say?

Uh, sorry!

I'll just go and tidy up
that throne for you.

It's a little bit messy.

[GROANING]

ZUMA: Calissa.

Uh, Zuma!

Oh, thank goodness!

What did Eris do to you?

Ah, it's my tail.

I can't move, which means I can't
get to the throne and Eris will.

She'll have the power
to make Merillia.

I need your help to get
back to the throne.

Grab on.

Swim.

Swim with all your might.

[GRUNTING]

I'm so sorry.
I can't.

Hurry. Get more help!

Enough that you can
lift me to the throne.

We can't let Eris take over.

Perhaps
if I could find Merliah.

Yes, find her.
Find her and bring her here.

And quickly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

KYLIE: Now that Eris is out,
what's gonna happen?

She'll try to stop my mom from
recharging her power to make Merillia

in the changing
of the tide ceremony.

I have absolutely no idea
of what you just said.

Merillia is the
life force of the sea.

[GASPING] Oh!

What is it?

My mom.

She is in trouble.
I can feel it.

Hurry. That way.
In deep.

Merliah, there you are!

Zuma.

And you! Aren't you...

Pleased to meet you.
Talking, pink sparkly dolphin creature.

Merliah, your mother!
She is in terrible danger.

Eris has sunk her
to the bottom of the ocean

with a nightmare spell.
And she is stuck there.

Can you take us to her?

Yes. Hurry!

Thinks she is so powerful.

Wait till I get my fins on her.

Oh, she'll be sorry.

[GASPING] Can't these
fins go any faster?

[GASPING]

[GASPS] Who's there?

Mom!

Merliah!

Where is your tail?

It's a long story.

Are you okay?

I will be.
Once we get me off the ocean floor.

I'm sorry. I never should have
gone to the Invitational.

I'm sorry, too.

After all, you are not
only a merprincess.

I should have realized

how important your human
life is to you too.

Including your love of surfing.

This is all my fault.

Blame me.

None of that matters right now.
There is four of you.

If you all work together,
you can pull me up

and place me on the throne
in time for the ceremony.

But what about Eris
and the stargazers?

We'll find a way past them.

The most important thing
is getting me on that throne.

Are you ready?

Okay, here we go.

One, two, three.
Swim!

[ALL GRUNTING]

It's not working.

It has to work.

Try again.
One, two, three.

Mom.
No, we can't give up.

We can't let Eris
sit on that throne

and gain the power of Merillia.

We can't let her
take over the ocean.

No, we can't.

So, try again.
Everyone, get ready.

Mom, this isn't going to work.

Yes, it will. It has to.

No, Mom.

The only way to stop Eris
from taking over

is if another member of the
royal family does the ceremony.

Merliah!

I have to do it.
It has to be me.

If you do it, your legs
will become a tail.

Forever!

You will never
walk or surf again.

I know. But I'm the
princess of Oceana.

It's my duty
and it's my choice.

Merliah.

It's okay, Mom.
I can do this.

But I'll need your help.

You are really
gonna do this, Liah?

You're risking everything
to do what's right.

You really think,
I'm gonna let you one up me?

Good on ya.
I have got your back.

I do, too.

[BARKS]

Don't worry.
We'll be back soon.

Good luck!

So, what's the plan?

Um, trust my instincts.

Beyond that,

I have no idea.

[LOW GROWLING]

ERIS: How do I look, Alistair?

Oh, Your Majesty.

That throne fits you perfectly.

I know.

It's like it was
made just for me.

[GROWLING]

So, let me get this straight.

It's the four of us against a g*ng of
electric fish with super sharp teeth.

[YELPING] Plus your aunt
who can point to us

and make our worst
nightmares come true

Uh-oh.
Pretty much. Yeah.

That's not even a fair fight.

We should use this kelp to tie
our arms behind our backs.

Give them a sporting chance.

[GASPS] Kylie,
you are a genius.

What? Merliah,
that was a joke.

The most brilliant joke ever.

That gives me an idea.

Two words.

Surf's up.

[YELPS]

Remember, the stargazers' eyes
are on top of their heads.

Stay below them,
and you'll stay hidden

[SNORING]

It's time.

It's time.

It's Princess Merliah.

[HOOTING]
[LAUGHING]

What's going on?

Yeah.

Uh, Merliah!

It's Princess Merliah.

Don't just float there
like a jelly fish.

Alistair, get her!

Rally the stargazers.
I need to stay on this throne

Uh, of course, Your Highness.

She is the queen of the waves.

The cage!
Everyone, work together.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Work the reins, Kylie

Hey!

Ah, come on.

You need to listen to me.

Just a few minutes now.

What are you waiting for,
you over grown anchovy,

a written invitation?

Get Merliah and her friend.

Now!

[EXCLAIMING]

Yeah!

[ALL GRUNTING]

Almost.

Thank you, Zuma.

That you, Snouts.

Ambassador Selena?

Uh, long story.

Come, we must stop Eris.

[GROWLING]

Change of plans.
We split up.

Everyone, keep
the stargazers busy.

Boo!

Time to meet your
worst nightmare, Merliah.

Don't do this, Eris.

And who is going to stop me?

Gotcha!

Yes!

[GROWLING]

Oh, no, you don't.

Thank you.

At your service, Your Highness.

You again, huh?

Catch me if you can.

[GROANING] Ah!

No!

[SCREAMING]

Eh!

Kylie!

Get off that throne!

Not a chance.

Well... Huh?

[GRUNTS]

With the changing of the tides,
Merillia power will arise.

The royal mermaid
on the throne.

Her fullest Merself
now is known.

Why isn't it working?

[GRUNTING]

Oh, man! Not again.

[LAUGHING]

You have no tail.

You can't activate the throne.

No transformation.

No Merillia.

I'm the only royal family
member who can do it.

So, get out of my way.

Or no one gets Merillia!

Don't do it, Merliah.

I wish to become a mermaid.

No!

No! [SOBBING]

[GASPS FEARFULLY]

That's enough.

You know what?

This is a good look for me.

Oh, well.

[GASPS]

Kylie.

[MUMBLING] I wish to
become a mermaid.

How did we do?

Ah, it was a perfect ten.

It was better than that

You saved us all.

Mom!

I'm so proud of you.

Both of you.

I am too, actually.

Was on your side
all the time, really.

Double agent,
you could call me.

Working the angles.
Waiting for the moment

I could help the cause most.

Selena, would you
care to handle this?

[GULPS]

Uh, you are beautiful.

If you are lucky,
I'll make you a pet.

I can do pets.

[MIMICS DOG WHIMPERING]

Oh! [GASPS]

[SCREAMING]

Wait! My magic.

[ALL GASPING]

Eris, you have legs!

[SOBBING]

How fitting.

You are now trapped in
your own worst nightmare.

My Spell.

But then...
I'm like this...

Forever?

No, it's impossible.

No!

I trust you'll
take care of her.

It will be our pleasure.

We'll find a place for her, even
more secure than a whirlpool.

Congratulations,
Princess Merliah.

Your Highnesses.

I don't even own any shoes.

You look amazing.

Thanks.

But...

I guess, I won't be
able to surf any more.

I'm so sorry, Merliah.

I never wanted this to happen

I know.

But I guess you'll be the one
winning the Invitational.

Merliah, come on.

I don't even wanna think
about the Invitational.

It wouldn't be right.

Are you kidding?
It's exactly right.

I chose to give up my legs.

But that means it's even
more important for you

to go out there and surf.

You are doing it
for both of us.

You're sure?

Do we even have enough
time to get there?

Count on it.

Let's go!

[CROWD CHEERING]

ANNOUNCER: Things are
really heating up

in the finals of the World
Championship Surfing Invitational.

And for the final heat,
where we should be seeing

Kylie Morgan
and Merliah Summers...

But the VIPs are MIA.

Unless they show up ASAP,
they'll get the big DNF.

Guess I'd better go.

I wish to be human.

Here.

No, the necklace is yours now.

Mine?

Your motives might not
have been pure then,

but you have proven
where your heart truly lies.

We never could have saved the
ocean without you, Kylie.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

ANNOUNCER:
Surfers. Hit the waves.

Better run.

Are you okay?

Totally.

It's a shame though. I had a sweet
new trick planned for today's run

I wish I could still change back
so that I could show it to, Kylie.

[GASPS]

Wow!

Mom. Kylie!

My legs.

Amazing. I can't believe it.

But the ritual.

It did transform you
into your fullest self.

And I can see now that your fullest
self is both a mermaid and a human.

I can surf!

You can surf in the meet.

Come on!

Good luck.

HADLEY: Woo-hoo!

She said she'd be
back for the finals.

Sorry. I know you
wanted to see this.

No sweat, surfette.

If she is not there, it's
because Callisa needs her.

ANNOUNCER:
I can't believe it.

Merliah Summers
and Kylie Morgan

have just appeared on the wave.

Yes.
Right on!

I knew she'd make it

[GASPING IN AWE]

Whoever tames this one
is taking the meet.

You want it?

Oh, yeah. You?

Better believe it.

May the best surfer win

Thanks, I will.

Yeah, good luck with that.

This is one monster wave.

And Summers and Morgan both want
to wrestle it into submission.

A beautiful drop-in
by both surfers.

Merliah executes an
awesome aerial barrel roll.

Kylie nails the perfect
inverted backside air reverse.

Whoa!

Merliah!

It's beautiful.

I'm making Merillia.

But the finals?

This is better.
I'm loving this.

Cool! Then I'm gonna
take it home.

Go for it.

But what's happening
with Merliah Summers?

It's almost like
she's playing in the wave.

I have never seen
anything like it.

But Kylie Morgan's driving
this heat, holding it tight!

Wait! What was that?

Wow! A wicked barrel to
kick flip from Kylie Morgan.

I've never seen that
in competitions.

Yeah!
Woo-hoo!

Ladies and Gentlemen, we might
have a new queen of the waves.

Ouch! Merliah's
got to hate that.

[LAUGHS] Look at her, man.

Does she look like
she hates it?

And that's the heat.
Surfers, come on in.

[ALL CHANTING]
Kylie! Kylie!

Fabulous run, Kylie.

How would you like to join us

as a Wave Crest
surf gear spokesperson?

You and Merliah would
make a great team.

But I'll let you
enjoy your moment.

We'll talk later.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Yeah, Merliah.
All right!

Did everything go okay,
little rabbit?

Better than okay.

The judges needed exactly zero
seconds to call that one.

First place at the World
Champion Surfing Invitational,

Kylie Morgan.

Come, get your trophy, Kylie.
Congratulations.

What are you doing?
This is your moment.

I already had my moment.

When I helped you
save the ocean.

It's really special being a part
of something bigger, you know.

Thank you for
helping me see it.

No. Thank you.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Pickled beetroot and poi.

But it's delicious.

It's also a gentle action
jewel cleaner,

a high performance
surfboard wax

and makes a terrific
facial cream.

[SCREAMING]

What?
