Here is the whole version of my episode guide for "Disney's The
|
||
Little Mermaid" series, including the last two new entries.
|
||
|
||
I have included the titles list again, with a 'CUT HERE' separating
|
||
the two files.
|
||
|
||
I am still working on my detailed episode guide for "Saban's Adventures
|
||
of The Little Mermaid", which is even more detailed (note that it is
|
||
called a 'detailed' episode guide instead :-) ).
|
||
|
||
The file is already formatted for printing (and has form-feeds), so
|
||
do not use a filter if you print it.

|
||
join his mob. He convinces Urchin to steal dinner
|
||
for them.

|
||
after them.

||
Urchin then discovers Ariel & Flounder. Sebastian
|
||
determines that the Lobster Mobster is a wanted
|
||
criminal. The Lobster Mobster & Shrimp trap Ariel
|
||
& Flounder in the cave, using a large boulder. They
|
||
are planning to ransom Ariel for the treasure stored
|
||
in Atlantica's royal treasure vault, because they
|
||
believe that King Triton will pay dearly to get
|
||
Ariel back. Ariel convinces Urchin to go get her
|

father.

Urchin goes in search of King Triton, but he has

||
already left to apologize to the guests that had
|
||
attended the Neptune Ball which Urchin had wrecked.

on guard. But Shrimp then frees the Lobster
|
||
Mobster.

||
Urchin then frees Ariel & Flounder, by tying a rope
|
||
around the boulder, and attaching the other end
|
||
to a passing whale. Urchin then discovers that
|
||
Sebastian has been captured in a net, and that
|
||
the Lobster Mobster has escaped.

||
The real Crab Louie, who is gigantic, grabs the Lobster
|
||
Mobster & Shrimp. Crab Louie threatens to crack

them. The Lobster Mobster makes a deal with him to

save them, by telling him about the ton of treasure
|
||
stored in Atlantica's royal treasure vault.
|
||
Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, & Urchin go to see King
|
||

Louie off of the treasure vault, and he falls to
|
||
the ocean floor. Urchin asks King Triton if his
|
||
Trident can really shoot lightning. King Triton
|
||
demonstrates this on Crab Louie.
|
||

|
||
on Crab Louie because they wanted some of the
|
||
treasure.

|
||
them away!

Characters:
|
||
Story: Ariel & Flounder discover a shipwreck which contains
|
||
some human objects. Ariel finds a magnifying glass,
|
||
which she calls a "bigger majigger". She returns
|
||
to the palace.
|
||
King Triton catches Ariel with the magnifying glass,
|
||
and forbids her to have human objects. He destroys
|
||
it with his Trident.
|
||
Ariel & Flounder swim to an abyss. Flounder sees a
|
||
shiny object in the abyss, so Ariel swims down to
|
||
it. She finds a bracelet, with trinkets attached
|
||
to it. It is caught on a piece of coral. When she
|
||
pulls on it, the chain holding the key breaks,
|
||
leaving the key still stuck to the coral. She then
|
||
puts on the bracelet.
|
||
It is getting late, so it is time for Ariel & Flounder
|
||
to head home. She needs to remove the bracelet,
|
||
since her father has forbidden her to have human
|
||
objects, but cannot without the key! She cannot let
|
||
her father see the bracelet, so she cannot go home!
|
||
She tries to remove it using a piece of coral, but
|
||
fails. She determines that she needs the other
|
||
piece still in the abyss, so she heads there.
|
||
Ariel swims into the abyss again, to retrieve the key.
|
||
Ariel finds it, but it is stuck to the coral. She
|
||
is then sucked downward in a whirlpool. She sends
|
||
Flounder for help. She is sucked into a large cave
|
||
and just escapes the Flow Monster, who uses the
|
||
suction to feed. She learns that she cannot swim
|
||
fast enough to escape from the cave between
|
||
feedings by the Flow Monster, so she is trapped.
|
||
Flounder tells King Triton what has happened. King
|
||
Triton, Sebastian, & Flounder head for the abyss

are sucked downward. King Triton zaps the Flow
|
||
Monster with his Trident and saves them all. They
|
||
find Ariel. King Triton uses his Trident to propel
|
||
all of them upward, away from the Flow Monster.
|
||
They all escape. Ariel swims back into the abyss
|
||
again to find the key. She cannot free the key, and
|
||
becomes caught in the Flow Monster's whirlpool
|
||
again. King Triton helps her to unlock the
|
||
bracelet, which is then sucked downward. He uses
|
||
his Trident again to help them both escape from the

|

8 - Title: "MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE"
|
||
Summary: Ariel mistakenly thinks that her father is arranging
|
||
for her marriage to the Olympian Prince Thor. This
|
||
misunderstanding starts a war.
|
||
Tape: #TDK5 (2nd episode on tape), 24-OCT-92 (SP).
|
||
#TDK17 (3rd episode on tape), 23-JAN-93 (SP).
|
||
Characters:
|
||
Story: Ariel & Flounder are playing, by sliding down a chute.
|
||
King Triton is watching Ariel play, and says to
|
||
Urchin that she is old enough and that she & young
|
||
Prince Thor of Olympia will be perfect together -
|
||
the perfect union.
|
||
King Triton goes to Olympia.
|
||
Urchin asks Sebastian what a union is. He answers that
|
||
it usually is a marriage. Urchin tells Sebastian
|
||
what King Triton told him. Ariel & Flounder
|
||
overhear this too. Ariel does not believe that her
|
||
father is arranging for her marriage, and tells
|
||
Urchin so.
|
||
King Triton suggests the pairing of Ariel & Thor for
|
||
the Aquabatics Sea Games Competition, to Thor's
|
||
father Augustus, saying that it will promote peace.
|
||
They decide to discuss this over lunch.
|
||
Thor, who overheard the conversation, decides to check
|
||
out Ariel because he doesn't want to risk his
|
||
chances of winning the games. So he heads to
|
||
Atlantica.
|
||
Thor arrives in Atlantica, and announces that he is
|
||
here for Princess Ariel. He says that she is pretty
|
||
enough. Ariel then thinks that Urchin is right
|
||
about the marriage. Ariel then asks Sebastian to
|
||
invite Thor to dinner.
|
||
Sebastian sends Urchin to invite Thor to dinner. Urchin
|
||
demonstrates some fictitious Atlantian customs on
|
||
Thor, so that he will not like Ariel and will not
|
||
marry her. Prince Thor is insulted by this, so
|
||
Ariel thinks that he will want to leave and never
|
||
see her again. But he says that their union is too
|
||
important to their nations, so that he is taking
|
||
Ariel to Olympia.
|
||
Sebastian & Urchin try to discourage Thor from taking
|
||
Ariel by making up some stories about her. Thor
|
||
is insulted because he thinks that they believe
|
||
that Ariel is too good for him, so he leaves
|
||
without her.
|
||
Thor reports about his treatment to his father. King
|
||
Triton does not believe this, and it causes an
|
||
argument between him & Augustus. Augustus orders
|
||
King Triton to leave, saying that peace is now
|
||
impossible.
|
||
Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, & Urchin learn the truth
|
||
about Ariel's marriage from King Triton.

|
||
Summary: Ariel finds a boot, which she calls a Thingamajigger.
|
||
The Lobster Mobster gets a hold of it, until the
|
||
Evil Manta tries to use it to take over Atlantica.
|
||
Tape: #TDK6 (beginning), 7-NOV-92 (SP).
|
||
Characters:
|
||
Story: Ariel finds a boot, and calls it a Thingamajigger. She
|
||
takes it to the palace, and shows it to the other
|
||
inhabitants. They try to determine what it is. King
|
||
Triton discovers Ariel with the boot. Ariel asks
|
||
him what it is. He says that it is a human object
|
||
and asks everyone if they realize that humans are
|
||
evil, and whatever humans drop into the sea is
|
||
dangerous. King Triton says that they must get
|
||
rid of the Thingamajigger, or it will destroy them
|
||
all. He appoints Sebastian to be the royal disposal
|
||
officer in charge of giving the Thingamajigger a
|
||
proper burial far away from the palace. Ariel
|
||
offers to help him. They head off with the boot,
|
||
and Flounder joins them.
|
||
The Lobster Mobster & Shrimp are about to do some
|
||
target practicing with the Bubble Gun, but it turns
|
||
out that it is broken. They then learn about the
|
||
Thingamajigger from some clams, and that even King
|
||
Triton is afraid of it. So the Lobster Mobster
|
||
wants this powerful weapon.
|
||
Ariel, Sebastian, & Flounder bury the boot. But another
|
||
creature digs it up.
|
||
Later, the Lobster Mobster & Shrimp find the boot. The
|
||
Lobster Mobster decides to try out his new weapon
|
||
by pointing it at a cliff. Just then, a cannon ball
|
||
from two passing ships above destroys the cliff,
|
||
leading him to believe that the weapon works.
|
||
Ariel, Sebastian, & Flounder learn from the clams that
|
||
the Lobster Mobster has the Thingamajigger.
|
||
Later, the Evil Manta learns more about the
|
||
Thingamajigger that he keeps hearing about, from
|
||
the clams. He learns that it is even more powerful
|
||
than King Triton's Trident!
|
||
Sebastian tries to steal the Thingamajigger from the
|
||
Lobster Mobster. But the Lobster Mobster sees the
|
||
boot moving away, so Sebastian hides inside of it.
|
||
Ariel & Flounder decide to go to a fishing port to
|
||
learn more about the Thingamajigger. She learns
|
||
that humans wear Thingamajiggers on their feet (she
|
||
calls them fins). Prince Eric frees a porpoise that
|
||
is trapped in a net, but looses a boot. Ariel then
|
||
determines that all humans are not evil. He then
|
||
discards the other boot into the ocean, so Ariel
|
||
thinks that it must be worthless, because he just
|
||
threw it away.
|
||
Sebastian makes the Lobster Mobster & Shrimp believe
|
||
that the Thingamajigger is alive, and scares them
|
||
off.

||
Story: Ariel is giving a party. King Triton joins her in a
|
||
dance, but injures his back. She wants to make him
|
||
feel better. The Glowfish suggests that he knows
|
||
someone who has cures and potions, who may be able
|
||
to help.
|
||
The Glowfish visits a sorceress in a cave, who has been
|
||
trapped there for centuries. He wants Atlantica's
|
||
royal jewels. He asks for and receives the Youth
|
||
Stone from the sorceress. In return, he must bring
|
||
her King Triton's Trident, which is powerful enough
|
||
to break the curse which keeps her powers trapped
|
||
in the cave, and will free her. She also gives the
|
||
Glowfish a magic flute, which he is to blow when
|
||
the Youth Stone is in King Triton's hands.
|
||
The Glowfish gives the Youth Stone to Ariel, who gives
|
||
it to her father. The Glowfish then blows the magic
|
||
flute, turning King Triton into a young boy with

||
red hair. His nickname is Red. Red is a handful
|
||
for Ariel to take care of.
|
||
While Red is investigating a ship passing overhead, he
|

to cut the net, which allows him to escape. He
|

continues to be a handful for her.
|
||
Ariel catches the Glowfish with the royal jewels. She
|
||
tells him what has happened, and he takes her,
|
||
Sebastian, & Red to the sorceress in the cave.
|
||
The sorceress wants the Trident, and takes it from Red.
|
||
Red then turns back into King Triton. He then
|
||
remembers that she is a wicked sorceress that he
|
||
had condemned to the cave long after his childhood,
|
||
so this is why he didn't remember who she was until
|
||
now. King Triton then recovers his Trident.

Ariel. He then mentions the legendary Glow Shells
|

of Shark Canyon. He doesn't have any, but he does

Urchin head there.

it tries to grab them using its tentacles. Ariel
