Fathoms Below (Alternate Opening) (Minnie version)

It was a beautiful day at sea. Dolphins were swimming and chirping. Birds were flying. Suddenly, a pirate ship came into view, and they swam out of the way. On that ship, there were some singing musketeers. Some were tying the sails down. Others were catching fish with nets. They began to sing?

Singing musketeers: *I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*Look out, lad, a mermouse be waitin' for you*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

A slender male cat stood upon the ship, as he was tying down a sail. His fur is orange with triangular ears, a peach muzzle, upper face, tan circles on his palms, a small black nose, peach ear inneards that matched his face, and green eyes. He was dressed in a white shirt, green bowtie, dark green vest, green pants, and a tan straw boater hat. His name was Danny Cat. The prince loved being on the ship! The sea was his life! Unlike other princes who only care about politics and money, Danny would rather sail. It was the only place he feel that can be carefree and be himself.

"Isn't this great?" Danny asked Funky Kong, "The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face!" He sighed, "A perfect day to be at sea!" sighed Danny.

His steward, who was a small, slender red Chinese dragon with blue horns, a gold mustache, a yellow underbelly, a dark red nose, claws, tail tuft, and spikes on his back, and black eyes, turned to face the prince. He stands about 1½ feet in height. His name was Mushu, Danny's butler. He was leaning over the boat, looking green. He was more seasick than pleased.

"Oh yes," Mushu said sarcastically. "delightful."

He hated being on sea. Earlier, when Danny wanted to go sailing, Ansem was content on staying at the castle.

"A fine strong wind and a following sea," said Funky, tying more ropes. "Lord Shen must be in a friendly-type mood."

He and Danny tied more ropes.

"Lord Shen?" repeated a confused Danny. He had studied many monarchs. Yet, he never came across a Lord Shen.

"Why, new ruler of the merpeople and mer-animals, lad." Funky said, "Thought every good sailor knew about him."

Singing musketeers: *I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*The ruler of all of the oceans is he*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

Mushu rolled his eyes for he did not believe in the existence of merpeople and mer-animals.

"Mer-animals!" scoffed Mushu, "Danny, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense."

"But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth!" replied Funky, "There's a whole world of merpeople and mer-animals under the sea."

Mushu simply rolled his eyes again, and this time, in exasperation.

"Lord Shen's their ruler." said a second sailor named Diddy Kong, as he took off his baseball cap and lifted his palm over his head to make it look like he was wearing a crown before putting the cap back on.

"He's got seven fair daughters." said a third sailor named Donkey Kong, as he leaned in Mushu's face and whispered to him.

"And a witch of a sister named Maleficent." said a fourth sailor named Cranky Kong. He was pulling a full net of fish.

Danny was confused. "Maleficent?"

"Evil and ugly and hungry for power!" answered Cranky. He pulled one fish from the net and tossed it in the barrel, saying, "Lord Shen, he banished her off into exile. And there she lives now, just biding her time."

Then he began to sing.

Cranky: *Fathoms below in the ocean*
*Lives Eris, witch of the sea*
*She plots, and she schemes*
*And she wickedly dreams*
*Of the day when she will return once more*

Singing musketeers: *Return to rule the ocean floor*
*She wants to be queen of the bottomless blue*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*So, Shenny, beware, there's a big one a-brewing*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

Mushu backed away, only to fall into the barrels. A fish got so scared that it jumped out and dived into the ocean.
