- Hey I'm Abbi Jacobson.
- And I'm Nat Faxon
and we're about to recap part one
of Disenchantment for all of you.
- Once upon a time there was a princess named Bean.
She's amazing, unlike any princess you've ever met,
and her family, her dad, King Zøg,
her lizard stepmother, Queen Oona,
and half-brother, Prince Derek,
ruled over The Kingdom of Dreamland.
Bean's real mom died when she was just a toddler
and the only memory she has of her is a statue.
You'll want to remember that for later.
Bean is being forced to marry a prince
from another kingdom, Prince Guysbert,
so Dreamland, and mainly King Zøg, can become more powerful,
but I was like, "No way. That's stupid. I want to live
by my own rules and be happy".
Right?
I mean Bean's - Not me.
I'm Abbi.
Not Bean.
- Meanwhile, in a land full of candy-making,
uncontrollably happy elves,
one Elf, named Elfo, is absolutely miserable.
Let me tell you, Elfo's cute,
but the dude gets around.
He has this girlfriend
and then let's just say they stay busy.
So anyway, Elfo is sick of having to be happy all the time.
He's like, "I'm getting out of here. I'm going to live
by my own rules and be miserable".
Elfo also has this adorable voice
and he's like, "I'd rather die a big death
than live a small life".
- Back in Dreamland, Bean is preparing
for her forced wedding.
She's looking at her pile of wedding gifts
and this little box is calling her.
She opens it and it's this little demon
with a smart mouth.
This demon, Lucy, was sent
by these two culty-looking people in robes,
who look over Bean
and want her to turn evil to fulfill a destiny.
So Lucy is now Bean's awesome, new personal demon,
who gets her to do bad things
like get crazy drunk and some other stuff
that we'll get into later.
So it's Bean's wedding day
and she's at the alter with this doofy guy, Price Guysbert,
and when she's asked if she takes his hand in marriage,
I yell out, "No"!
I mean Bean says no.
Not me.
Why do I keep doing that?
She knocks the ring to the ground
and the ring goes rolling off.
Prince Guysbert runs after it
and impales himself in his head
onto a sword and dies.
- So amidst all the chaos, Elfo crashes the wedding
and everybody's like, "Whoa",
because they've never seen an elf before.
Everyone goes crazy, especially King Zøg,
because he heard
that elf blood holds the key to the Elixir of Life.
- Bean, Elfo, and Lucy get the hell out of there.
The Royal Guard chases them through the kingdom
and into the Enchanted Forest
and then the trio jumps off a cliff.
They survive and are captured
and dragged back to castle,
so Bean can marry Guysbert's brother, Prince Merkimer.
In a series of mishaps, they turn Merkimer into a pig
and Bean is free.
- Now, Bean can go on to live her crazy life
with her new friends Elfo and Lucy.
They get drunk, they experiment with snakeroot,
they join a gang, they kind of start a band
where they just clap, Elfo boxes a rooster
for some reason, there's a party with a horse,
a one-eyed giant woman who Elfo claims is his girlfriend,
an exorcism that was super fun.
Look.
They get into some crazy shit,
is what I'm trying to say.
- Okay
Back to business.
Remember how King Zøg is looking
for the Elixir of Life?
They find out
that they need to find this vile called The Eternity Pendant
that they're supposed to drop elf's blood
into to unlock its powers.
They go on this big journey, meet this old guy
and his laughing horse in a cave, and a griffin.
They end up killing this guy who performed the exorcism
and they eventually find the vile
and bring it back to Dreamland.
- They try Elfo's blood in the Eternity Pendant,
but it doesn't work and they're like, "Whoa,
so Elfo is not a real Elf"?
So that opens up a whole can of worms
and Elfo is now on the pursuit to find out
who he really is.
So Bean, Elfo, and Lucy travel back to Elfwood,
where Elfo finds out that he's only half-elf.
- Whoa.
- When he's about to find out what the other half is,
Dreamland soldiers invade Elfwood to capture all their elves
for their magic blood
and it's absolute mayhem.
- All right.
So I'm going to pause right here
and tell you we're getting
into some major spoiler territory,
so I'll wait a couple of seconds
for you to make a decision on whether
or not you want to continue watching this.
- How is your summer so far?
- My summer's been pretty good, how about you?
- Pretty Good.
Yeah.
- Okay here we go.
In the midst of battle, Elfo is shot
by an arrow and dies.
It turns out King Zøg ordered the raid on Elfwood,
so he could get pure elf blood,
not so he can live forever.
Remember that statue of Bean's mom?
The Eternity Pendant has the power
to bring her back to life.
Bean brings Elfo's body back
to Dreamland to give him a proper funeral
and she finds a little elf blood
that hit her during the battle
and now she has the power to bring someone back to life.
She chooses her mom guys!
- Yeah it's really messed up.
- It's extremely messed up.
- Because Elfo died.
- We need to be able to separate us and them.
- Seems like you are already having a problem with that.
- Bean's mom, Dagmar, is brought back to life
and begins ruling the kingdom again
with King Zøg after getting Una out of her way.
So coincidentally, after Dagmar is unfrozen,
people in Dreamland are being turned into stone.
Everyone thinks it's Una,
but no.
It's freaking Dagmar.
Lucy, being the genius that he is, discovers
that years ago Dagmar tried to poison King Zøg
and turn him into stone,
so she could rule the kingdom,
but cute baby Bean switches their wine glasses
and Dagmar gets poisoned by her own petard,
if you will,
- I will.
- So now she's back and trying to turn all
of Dreamland into stone.
She's crazy, but she convinces Bean she's innocent
and convinces her to leave the kingdom
to fulfill some mysterious destiny.
(sighing)
- Okay.
You're caught up now.
Enjoy Disenchantment part two.
