Later in this video.
I've gotta beat these nerds.
Your word is actually 'stellar dendrite'.
What!
I cannot believe it's almost back to school time again.
I know seriously, summer is never long enough.
Time flies when you're having fun with your friends.
We did have a good summer.
Except for all of those villains trying to ruin it.
Oh, speaking of which, don't look now but I think we have a dark fairy in our midst.
Sorry Princesses, we're closed for the day.
No more school supplies for you.
I guess you'll have to flunk out and go back to the 5th grade.
Ha ha, Maleficent.
Very clever, not.
Move along now, we've got notebooks and pencils to buy.
Yeah, don't you have better things to be doing?
Nothing is better than trying to ruin your day.
I may have failed this time but I'll be back.
I always come back.
Mwaha ha ha ha.
Jeez, what a negative nancy.
I know, right?
Do you know how many schemes over the years that Maleficent has tried to pull over on
us?
4,859.
Really!
I don't know, just guessing.
Ha ha ha.
Speaking of 5th grade, do you guys remember the regional spelling bee that year?
Oh, yeah, that's the year we all met.
And that was Maleficent's first shady plot.
Whoa, 5th grade, that was a long time ago.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Mh-hmm.
Hi, my name is Jasmine.
I'm representing Agrabah Elementary School.
Here's my registration.
Welcome, here's your number.
Take a seat over on the bleachers with your fellow competitors.
Hi there, I'm Anna.
What's your name?
I'm Jasmine, I'm from Agrabah.
What about you guys?
I'm Ariel, Princess of Atlantica.
Atlantica?
Like under the sea?
Yap, I'm actually a mermaid, but on land I have legs.
I'm Princess Anna of Arendelle.
Well, technically there are two Princesses one is my older sister Elsa.
She's in the audience cheering me on, see.
Woohoo, go, Anna, that's my little sister.
Elsa, stop it hasn't started yet.
Did you have to beat your sister at your school spelling bee to get here?
No, Elsa is a year ahead of me in school.
She's in the 6th grade!
Yup, middle school.
Whoa!
Um, hi, my name's Belle.
I'm checking in for the regional spelling bee.
Fabulous, may I have your registration papers, please?
Of course.
Wonderful, and here is your number.
I'm so excited, I love words usually when they're put together in a book, but also when
they stand alone.
Who's that?
Oh, you don't know her?
That's Belle, she's one of the best spellers in the district.
Really, wow!
Yeah, you'll never see her without her nose in a book.
She's new in the district.
But I heard she went all the way to nationals last year.
Oh man.
I was so nervous.
About me?
We were all nervous.
5th grade was a big deal, we were the oldest kids in school.
Yeah, I really wanted to win and everybody was saying how good you were at spelling.
Meanwhile, guess who showed up at the last minute.
Hello, there name, please.
Maleficent.
Mh-hmm, Maleficent, Maleficent, oh there you are.
Are you excited to be competing?
I'm excited to win.
Wow, that's the spirit.
Well, we're excited to have you here all the way from the dark forest of Moore.
Yap, that's me.
Well, then, good luck and remember to have fun.
Here's your number.
I won't.
Eish, kids these days so competitive.
Yeah, nationals was so much fun last year.
I'm so excited to be back competing.
This is the last year I'm gonna be eligible.
This is my first time at regionals, but I've been trying to get in like every year.
What about you girls, is this your first spelling bee?
No, my English teacher told me that I should try to get into the school spelling bee to
get over my fear of public speaking.
Really?
You must be really good at spelling too.
I love learning new human words for my seagull friend, Scuttle.
Though he doesn't always get them right.
Ha ha ha.
Oh, hi there.
Welcome to the bee.
Um, yeah, hi.
Wow, you all are so perky.
Well, we're all Princesses from different kingdoms.
Are you a Princess too?
Nope, I'm a Vi - very new around here.
Oh, well, good luck.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to be 73rd annual royal regional spelling bee.
Give a big round of applause for our spellers.
