[Flounder] The Chum-ba-Chum.

[humming]

Huh? Ooh.

Hi, Ravi.

Well, hello there, Flounder.

What's that you're holding?

This is a sea leafy.

Ooh! I love sea leafys.

What's a sea leafy?

[laughs]

It's a new ingredient
I'm gonna try for my juices.

It's very healthy
and helps you grow big and strong.

[giggles] I wanna grow big and strong.

Give it a try.

[chomps]

Mmm. Tasty.

I feel stronger already.

I bet I could pick up that rock.

[straining]

Huh? Okay, I can't pick that up.

But I still feel stronger.

[laughs]

Just wait until I use these sea leafys
to make juice.

[gasps]

Huh?

The sea leafys are gone!

[gasps] Where did they go?

How strange!

But not to worry.
I have some more in the back.

I wonder where those sea leafys went.

Hey!

Those are crumbs.

[sniffing, chomps]

Mmm, sea leafy crumbs.

Maybe if I follow the crumbs

I'll find out what happened
to the sea leafys.

[chomping]

[gasps] A sea leafy!

I'll take that back to Ravi.

Huh? What's that?

Hey! Wait just a minute Mr. or Ms. Snout.

What was that creature?

And why was it taking the sea leafys?

So many questions that
I don't know the answers to.

Which means...

[gasps] This is a mystery.

And I know who loves mysteries.

Okay. [gulps]

[sighs in relief]

I got it.

Huh?

[gasps]

Oh. [chuckles]

Hmm...

Careful...

Fernie, you'll never believe
what I just saw.

Was it a new kind of coral?

Was it Senorita Ursula doing magic?

Was it human stuff?

No! All those things are fin-tastic,

but I saw a great big creature
with a great big snout

that looks like... Like...

[gasps]

It looked just like that!

You saw a Chum-ba-Chum?

[both gasp]

Yes! It looked just like that Chum-ba-Chum

and it took Ravi's sea leafys.

Uh, what's a sea leafy?

A sea leafy is green and delicious

and it makes you super strong.

[grunting]

Ravi was going to use the sea leafys

to make tasty juices,

but then the Chum-ba-Chum took them.

Are you sure it was
a Chum-ba-Chum, Flounder?

This is a land treasure,

which means that Chum-ba-Chums
are animals that live on land.

Why would a land creature
be down here under the sea?

To eat sea leafys, probably.

If we can find it, I can show you.

But how are we going to find
the Chum-ba-Chum?

Hmm...

Hmm.

Hmm...

Hmm.

Hmm. Oh, Jumping Jellyfish.
That's it!

I can see why you like saying that, Ariel.

It sure is fun.

[laughs]

You could say it anytime
you want, Flounder.

Jumping Jellyfish.

Jumping Jellyfish.

Jumping Jellyfish.

-[sighs wearily]
-[giggles]

What's your idea?

Follow me and I'll show you.

Hey, Ravi. I think I know
who took your other sea leafys.

You do?

Yeah, it was this Chum-ba-Chum.

[Ravi] A Chum-ba-Chum?

I've never heard of such a thing.

That's what we call this land creature,
a Chum-ba-Chum.

Oh, I see.

And you think this Chum-ba-Chum

took the sea leafys?

Yep. Now we want to find it.

Can we have a few sea leafys

to see if we can use them
to find the Chum-ba-Chum?

That sounds like a smart idea, Flounder.

I've got some right here.

-Thanks, Ravi.
-Thanks, Ravi.

-Thanks, Ravi.
-Thanks, Ravi.

Is it okay if I leave
this land treasure here?

Of course! I'll take good care of it.

Thank you. [giggles]

Okay, Chum-ba-Chum,
let's make some juice.

[chuckles]

[Flounder] Okay, here's the plan.

Wait, what's the plan, Ariel?

[laughs] Okay, here's the plan.

We put out a sea leafy like this,

then we wait nearby.

The Chum-ba-Chum
will sniff out the sea leafy,

and come swimming along.

Then we'll get to see a land creature.

-Got it?
-[all] Got it.

Okay. So, now, we just have to wait.

[gasps]

The sea leafy is gone!

Where did it go?

Good thing we have more.

[all scream]

All the sea leafys are gone!

The Chum-ba-Chum strikes again!

That land creature must be
a really fast swimmer.

What do we do now?

Maybe Ravi will let us use
more sea leafys.

To the juice stand!

Here you go, kids.

Thanks so much, Ravi.

Happy to help you find that Chum-ba-Chum.

This time we'll have to be really quick

to catch that Chum-ba-Chum in action.

[Ariel] Now the sea leafy is way up high

where any fish can see it,
even from far away.

Now, we just have to wait.

Hi, Fernie.

-[snorts]
-[both laughing]

Shh. [whispers]
Guys. Guys, stop. This is serious.

[chuckles]

[all laughing]

[yawns]

[yawns]

[yawns]

[snoring]

Whoa!

-[shrimp whistling]
-[gasps] The Chum-ba-Chum!

Hmm. It's smaller
than I thought it would be.

Uh, that's a shrimp, Flounder.

Oh, right. [chuckles]

What if it takes the sea leafy?

That's supposed to be
for the Chum-ba-Chum.

Should we ask it
to please leave the sea leafy alone?

[creaking]

[Ariel] Oh, no!

-[Flounder gasps]
-[whistling]

Catch that sea leafy!

[gasps] Did you see that?

-Mezanmi!
-Was that the Chum-ba-Chum?

See? Didn't that look like
a Chum-ba-Chum?

I think you're right, Flounder.

Our plan is working.

We just need another sea leafy,

then we can put it in a better
place so it doesn't fall.

Come on, friends, let's paddle.

[all] Thanks, Ravi.

Anytime.

There. Now it's right
in the middle of the market,

so everyone will see it,
including the Chum-ba-Chum.

And it won't fall.

And we can watch it
from Ravi's juice stand.

No one take your eyes off
that sea leafy.

This time we're gonna catch
that Chum-ba-Chum in action.

-[Sebastian] A one, a two...
-[both] Huh?

...a one, two, three, four...

[♪ lively orchestral music playing]

Oh, no!
We can't see the sea leafys

through all these dancers.

Come on, friends,
let's get over there.

-Pass please.
-Con permiso.

-Padon.
-Excuse me.

That's its tail.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[both gasp]

Whoa!

[all panting]

We were so close that time.

We just need one more sea leafy.

Ravi, can we please have just one more--

A sea leafy? Sure.

Oh, that's the last one, kids.

Make it count and find
that Chum-ba-Chum.

We can't take your last sea leafy.

But I know how important

finding the Chum-ba-Chum is to you.

But we know how much you want
to make a new sea leafy juice,

so we want you to keep this one.

Aw, okay. Thank you, kids.

Sea leafy juice, coming right up!

And you four can be the first to try it.

[all] Whoo-hoo!

There you go, kids.
I call this...

the Sea Leafy Slam.

[slurps] So tasty.

[slurps] Delicioso.

[slurps] Koupe dwet.

[slurps] Ah!

-Is that juice made with sea leafys?
-[Flounder] Huh? [gasps]

Can I try?

-Huh?
-Wait a minute.

-Are you...
-Could it really be?

Chum-ba-Chum.

Bless you. My name's Manuel.
Manuel the manatee.

What's a manatee?

A large sea mammal.

Hmm.

Kinda like a whale.

And the another thing about us manatees,

we love sea leafys.

We thought you were a Chum-ba-Chum

and we wanted to see you.

You're not quite the same
as our Chum-ba-Chum, are you?

Oh, I can see how I might look like that.

That creature actually
looks like a lot like my cousin Elfie.

He's a land creature.

But up there on land
they call him an elephant.

[all] An elephant?

Hmm. That sure is a strange name
for a Chum-ba-Chum.

Mystery solved.

Mystery solving makes me thirsty.

Say no more.

[all laughing and slurping]

[all laughing]

[Ariel] Catfish Kerfuffle.

Whoo! What does this magic potion do,
Tantie Ursula?

Hmm. Let's see.

[exploding]

[bleats]

[both laugh]

It turns you into a sea goat.

[chuckling]

And this one turns me back
into my usual fabulous self.

[laughs]

Not... [bleating] bad.
[laughs]

You can turn into

so many different
sea creatures, Tantie.

I wish I could do that.

With the right magic potion, you can.

Here. Why not try this one with me?

Uh, what are we gonna be, Tantie?

Wait, now, don't tell me.

No, tell me.

No, make it a surprise.

[exploding]

We're catfish!

Meow meow, merling. [chuckles]

Let's play.

[both laughing]

[giggles]

[Ursula] Meow. Oops.

Meow. Oops.

Uh-oh, Tantie.

Was that the potion
that turns us back to our regular selves?

Mmm-hmm. But not to worry.

I'll just make some more potion
in my magic cauldron.

Let's see. I'll need this one...

-Whoops.
-[glass breaking]

-Whoops.
-[glass breaking]

Well, it looks like
these kitty catfish fins

can't pick up the bottles.

Lucia can make magic potions.

I know she'd be able to change us back.

That's a purr-fect idea, merling.

Let's go find Lucia.

Hang on!

[exclaims, grunts]

Okay. Now let's go find Lucia.

[gasps] Look, Tantie,
here comes Flounder.

Maybe he knows where Lucia is.

Aw. Hello, little catfish.

You're so cute.

Flounder, it's me and Tantie Ursula.

[meowing]

Aw, it's so cute when you catfish go...

[meowing]

Huh?

I don't think he understands
anything I said.

That's because Flounder
doesn't speak catfish.

So any time you try to talk to him

all he can hear is... [meowing]

Aw. I wish I could understand

what you're saying, little catfish.

I wonder what you two are doing out here

in the middle of the open sea
all by yourselves.

-Huh?
-[gasps] Maybe you're lost.

Hmm. I'd better take you
back to the palace

where it's nice and safe.

Don't worry.
My best fin Ariel will know what to do.

Yeah. He definitely doesn't know it's us.

Come on. Let's go, little catfish.

You're gonna love meeting Ariel.

She's so good at singing.

[gasps] Aw.

Okay, let's see.

We've got kitty catfish toys,
kitty catfish snacks...

Oh! And don't forget about
the kitty catfish snuggle beds.

Flounder sure is good
at taking care of catfish.

I might have to change my name
to Purrsula.

But we can't stay like this forever.

We need to go find Lucia
to change us back.

You're right, merling.

Okay. Let's go find Lucia.

Hmm, the door is closed.

Let's try and open it.

[both grunting]

I'm sorry, little catfish.

I can't let you go
swimming around the palace

all by yourselves.

You might get lost.

The right thing to do is
for you to stay in this room

until Ariel gets here.

But, Flounder, I am Ariel.

[meowing]

[meowing]

Wait a minute.

I think I know what's going on here.

[gasps excitedly]

You want more catfish snacks!

Yeah, he still doesn't know it's us.

You stay right here, kitty fishys,

-I'll be right back.
-[door slams]

[gasps]

[strains] Can you open it?

Nope. I can't do anything
with these catfish fins.

Maybe if we call out and make enough noise

someone will come open the door?

That's a great idea!
Let's make some noise.

[both] Hello!

-Hello! Yoo-hoo!
-Hello!

-[both meowing]
-[gasps]

What is that noise, man.

[meowing stops]

Ah! That's better.

-Hello!
-Yoo-hoo!

[sighing in exasperation]

Well, that didn't work.

But it was fun being really loud. [laughs]

Yes, it was. [chuckles]

Hmm. What else can we do
to get out of here?

I don't know.

[gasps] I know!

All we have to do is
swim right out the window

-and we can go find Lucia.
-[squeaks]

Ariel, why is your window
covered with stuffies?

Flounder and I were playing
Shadow Puppets

and we needed to make the room dark.

Great idea, right?

Very clever.

[squeaking]

We'll have to push a lot harder

if we're going to make those move.

Hmm.

Maybe, if we go really, really fast

we could push those stuffies.

[gasps]

I think I know how we can go
really, really fast.

Ready?

Ready.

Whoo-hoo!

I got to put one of these
in the apothecary.

[Ariel] Whee! [laughing]

[Ursula screams]

Get ready to push.

-[squeaks]
-[both screaming and laughing]

Well, that didn't work.

Hmm. That was a good plan.

But we've got to think of something else.

-[Ursula purring]
-Tantie?

Are you purring?

I'm sorry,
but these catfish beds are just so soft.

Oh, good.
You're having some snuggles.

And I brought more kitty catfish snacks.

Oh, Flounder.
You're so good at taking care of catfish,

but I just wish you could
understand what I'm saying.

Don't worry, little catfish,
everything's gonna be just fine.

Ariel should be here any minute now,

and when she gets here

I bet she'll sing a nice song for you.

Yep, yep.
Nobody can sing like my best fin Ariel.

Singing songs!

Jumping Jellyfish, that's it!

Tantie Ursula?

-Tantie?
-Huh?

-[glass breaking]
-I wasn't playing with yarn.

[chuckling] Flounder knows
how much I love music,

so maybe, if I sing a song,

or, you know, meow a song,
he'll figure out that it's me.

I love this idea.

Plus... [purrs]

That means
I get to hear you sing.

♪ Meow, meow
Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

Huh?

♪ Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

Little catfish, are you...

Are you singing?

♪ Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

Ariel wrote that song.

How do you know that song,
little catfish?

♪ Meow, meow, meow, meow ♪

[purrs, meows]

Hey, that's Ariel's guitar.

How do you know how to play that?

It's working, Tantie.

Sing with me.

[both meowing and singing]

Ariel?

Ariel?

[meows]

Ariel, it's you.

You are Ariel.

[meows]

Why are you a catfish?

[meowing]

[gasps] Huh?

[meows]

I have no idea what you just said.

-[meows sadly]
-[Flounder] I bet this has

something to do with magic.

And whenever we need help with magic stuff

Ms. Ursula ma'am always knows what to do.

[meowing]

Hmm. I'm starting to think
you might be Ms. Ursula ma'am.

And now you're both stuck
as catfish, right?

-[meows]
-[Flounder laughs]

Man, I'm good.

Come on, magic catfish,
let's go find Lucia.

-She'll know what to do.
-[purrs]

-Aw.
-[purring]

How's the new potion coming, Lucia?

Should be almost ready.

Why do I feel like I forgot something?

Oh, right. The hot spring sauce.

Gracias, Gatita Ursula.

[meows]

Okay, the potion is done.

[both meow]

Are you two ready to go back
to your regular selves?

What do you say, merling?

Is it time to change back?

I think so.

Spending the day with you as a catfish

sure was a lot of fun, Tantie.

[chuckles]

Oh, I don't think we'll ever
forget this adventure.

[laughs]

[chuckles]

I think that's catfish for they're ready.

Okay, okay, okay.

Hmm.

Needs more hot spring sauce.

Needs more hot spring sauce.

Called it.

[exploding]

[all gasp]

-[squeals excitedly]
-[both laughing]

Ariel. Ms. Ursula ma'am.

Lucia, you did it.

Thank you so much for changing us back.

Any time, amiga.

And thank you for helping us, Flounder.

You were the best catfish friend
in the whole ocean.

Right, Tantie?

Tantie?

Huh?

I wasn't playing with yarn.
