(water splashing)
- Whoa!
Do you believe in mermaids?
- Yes.
I know they're real, and I know they're out there somewhere.
- [Father] Thanks to Mattel for sponsoring this video,
and helping us create it.
(happy music)
I don't know what it is about mermaids,
but our little girl, like most little girls,
is obsessed with mermaids.
For a while there, she was telling everyone
that when she grew up, she was going to be a mermaid.
- She 100% thinks they're real.
- What'd she say the other day?
- She said, Mom, do you believe in mermaids?
And I said, uh.
She said, do you think mermaids are real?
And I said, I, no, probably not,
and she said, I will prove it.
(laughs)
- There's three big surprises today.
Surprise number one is Mattel sent Claire another package.
It is a Sparkle Light Mermaid Barbie.
- How cute are those?
- So this is a Barbie that will swim in the water,
so you can put it down, it will swim around,
and it actually lights up as well.
So, Claire's obviously gonna love that.
The second big surprise is, late last night,
the kids' little cousins came into town.
They came to visit us here in Seattle,
so Claire and Carson have no idea
that their cousins are here, so that'll be really fun.
The third big surprise, which is gonna be amazing,
we'll just show you here, shortly.
Alright, let's do it.
We've got some big surprises for you today.
The first surprise is that your cousins are here!
- What?
Hi you guys!
- [Man] Hey!
Careful!
- [Father] I have a surprise for you guys.
(giggling)
- It's open!
What!
- You guys, look!
- Cool!
- I like this one.
- If you press this, her fin moves!
- Oh my gosh, it lights up!
- It lights up!
- This is a Sparkle Lights Mermaid Barbie.
It'll sparkle and swim.
- Cool!
- It's like they're really swimming.
- Yeah! Let's put 'em in the water!
- Me too!
- I mean, we're still twins, but
- [Girls] We're mermaids!
- How could this happen?
This isn't even scientifically possible!
- The glitter storm!
- [Claire] It was the glitter storm!
- How could glitter turn us into mermaids, guys?
How're we supposed to get out of being a mermaid?
- I don't know!
There must be have to have another glitter storm!
- [Blonde Girl] Maybe when we go on the sand,
we'll turn back into humans.
- Mermaids have to be underwater.
- [Blonde Girl] Look guys, I can light up!
- [Claire] Yeah!
I don't know what we're gonna do.
What do you think we'll do?
- Maybe we should go look around.
- [Blonde Girl] Yeah.
- Yeah
- [Blonde Girl] Let's go guys
(water splashing) (happy music)
(giggling)
- Look at mine!
- Not yet. Let's do it at the same time!
Arms up, arms up, arms up!
- [Girls] Go!
(giggling)
- Again? Ready?
- [Tall Girl] OK, one, two, three!
- [Blonde Girl] Oh my gosh!
- Ready for the funniest thing ever?
- [Tall Girl] Like this?
- Like that.
Skydive!
(laughing)
- [Father] Question for you.
- What?
- If you could be anything, what would it be?
- Mermaid.
- Light up mermaid.
- [Father] Seriously?
- Yeah
- What if I told you guys that the third big surprise
is you're gonna go make your own Dreamtopia?
We're gonna all go to a big, huge, saltwater pool,
and you're gonna dress up as your own mermaid
and swim with your mermaid
in a huge pool that's all to yourself.
- [Tall Girl] Really?
- What?
- [Tall Girl] That's so cool, thank you!
- We get to go to a pool! (happy music)
And we get to swim with our mermaids!
- [Father] Fins
- [Tall Girl] Oh, those are so cool!
- [Claire] (gasps) So pretty!
(quirky music)
- [Father] Is everyone
ready to go? - I buckled it!
Yep! I got my mermaid!
- I'm ready to go in the pool!
- [Father] Alright, let's go!
(exciting music)
Alright, so this isn't just any pool.
This is a salt water pool.
This is gonna be like real-live, mermaid action here.
You guys ready to be mermaids?
- [Girl In Blue Jacket] Yep!
- [Father] Ginny, how's your little mermaid?
- Mom, I'm too, I'm too tired.
(happy music)
- Alright, little mermaids, let's see this.
- I'm a mermaid now!
- (chuckles) Mermaid!
(happy music)
Whoa!
Do you believe in mermaids?
- Yes.
- Why do you believe in mermaids?
- I know they're real,
and I know they're out there somewhere.
We just have to find them.
- You think we're gonna discover em someday?
- Someday, we have to go out in the ocean.
- Are you a little mermaid?
- Yes!
- Should we put your fin back on?
- Yeah
- OK
- No mermaid's complete without a fin!
(happy music)
- [Woman] Who had fun swimming?
- [Girls] Me!
- [Dad] You guys have fun?
- [Girls] Yes.
- That was fun. That pool was cool, right?
(happy music)
- [Dad] So the last fun thing that we're gonna do today
is we're gonna have a sleep-over party
where we all make treats, we get mermaid blankets,
and we watch Barbie shows on Netflix
while we eat our treats and popcorn.
Everyone together--
- [Girls] Yeah!
- Thank you!
- Yeah!
- Right now?
- And each of you get a mermaid blanket.
- Oh those are so cool! - I want the purple one!
I want the turquoise one. - I want the purple one.
- I like pink.
- So that's what you can sleep with tonight,
with your mermaid blankets.
Stick your little feet in there.
- [Girl On Table] This is like-- (shouting)
(happy music)
- I used to love this movie!
- [Father] What one?
- Barbie in a Mermaid Tale!
This is my favorite movie ever!
I used to love this movie when I was little!
- [Man] It's a good one. When's the last time you saw it?
- I dunno; I was really small.
- [Father] We watching the movie?
- Yeah - I know where we
can put the popcorn!
- Me first, can we have the popcorn on carpet?
- Yeah.
- I'm just like my mermaid!
I have a tiara like her, and I also have my fish tail,
and I have a fin.
I'm gonna back flip into the popcorn.
- She's gonna get popcorn stuck in her hair.
