01:00Far out at sea, the water is blue and clear as purest glass.
01:27Deeper than any man-made anchor chain could ever hope to reach.
01:32And down here live the sea people.
01:43It's not fair! You're all so much better than me!
01:59Don't be downhearted, little sis. It's just we've had more practice, that's all.
02:03You're all older than me, you mean!
02:05There she goes again, wishing her life away.
02:10She'll be bargaining her rosy cheeks for the old sea witch's wrinkles next.
02:14It's not funny! I still have to swim to school while you're allowed to go up and visit the world above the waves.
02:21Oh...
02:23It'll be your turn soon. Your 15th birthday isn't too far away now.
02:31Anyway sis, I told you, I went last year and you're not missing much.
02:36Come on, another game, eh?
02:38No, no, no, no. I wanted to tend my garden anyway.
02:40Oh, my sisters mean well, but they don't understand.
02:55All I dream of is seeing your world for myself.
03:00Where the trees are emerald green, and the skyfish on their branches sing as sweetly as a whale lulling her babies to sleep.
03:12And where princes like you prance around on these funny leg things of yours.
03:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
03:21Meanwhile, I must wait.
03:25And wait.
03:29And wait.
03:30And so, she did.
03:35Until...
03:37Well, dear, how does it feel to be 15 at last?
03:42Ooh, it hurts!
03:45I am sorry, dear.
03:47But growing up is supposed to hurt sometimes, or we'd never learn anything.
03:51I know, Grandmama.
03:53I'm just happy to be able to see for myself all the wonders you and my sisters have...
03:59Oh, told me about...
04:01Now, you be careful up there, darling.
04:04The world of men isn't all sweetness and light, you know.
04:09So, take your time.
04:12After all, we mermaids live for 300 years.
04:16There, now you're a real sea princess.
04:21At long last.
04:23Now I'll see a sunset with my own eyes from above the waves.
04:28Have fun, little sis.
04:38Bring us back up.
04:40Shoo!
04:41Oh, it's all even more beautiful than I'd imagine.
04:53So, when's the prince coming out to join us?
05:08Prince?
05:09Ah, he's still astern in the cavern, getting himself ship-shaped.
05:13Oh, well.
05:13He'd better get a move on.
05:15Looks like rough weather a-brewin'.
05:17It's him, my little stone prince.
05:25But he's all grown up and so handsome.
05:37Best do the honour, sire.
05:41Storm Thunder Rising.
05:42Very well.
05:43I hereby declare my 18th birthday right royally celebrated.
05:53Ooh!
05:57Ah!
06:03Oh, how beautiful.
06:07Like anemones made of fire.
06:09I say, now that was impressive.
06:32No, sire.
06:33That was lightning.
06:34And we're in trouble.
06:35Oh, no!
06:37Best get below, sire.
06:38This one's a mean one and no mistake.
06:41No, no, captain.
06:42I want to help.
06:44As you wish, sire.
06:45P.I.P.
06:48Oh, no!
06:52They're in danger!
06:53No, no, no, sire.
07:09It's too late.
07:10Save yourself.
07:11Just a few more itches.
07:19Oh, no!
07:20Oh, no!
07:20I must try to help them.
07:33And the prince?
07:35Saved my life, so he did.
07:37No!
08:01Come on.
08:02Oh, my God.
08:32Please don't be dead, my lovely prince.
08:39Oh, I would do anything to see your darling eyes open once more.
09:02Fetch a litter.
09:09You saved my life.
09:14No, I saved your life. It was me.
09:19I will have to return home very soon, so I will leave him in your care.
09:23Do not worry, your highness. We will see to his recovery.
09:28Oh, well, I got my wish.
09:34He opened his eyes again.
09:40Sis, why didn't you tell us you were home?
09:44What's happened? What's wrong?
09:49So she told them all about her prince.
09:52That's the saddest story I've ever heard.
09:55Hmm, a kingdom with a golden sun on its banner, eh?
09:59I know this place.
10:01Are you sure we shouldn't go with her?
10:03She's grown up now. She has to make her own decisions.
10:07and learn from her own mistakes.
10:11Are you sure we shouldn't go with her?
10:25She's grown up now.
10:27She has to make her own decisions and learn from her own mistakes.
10:39It's him.
10:41If only he knew I existed.
10:45If only she knew I existed.
11:32He loves me enough.
11:33I would gladly give the three hundred years I have to live, to have legs to walk on, so he might love me, if only for a day.
12:23See, Princess, we'll be asking you to dance.
12:26Yes, Grandma.
12:29Yes, Grandma.
12:29Oh.
12:30Oh.
12:31Oh.
