- Today, was so awesome.
I'm glad we met Ariel.
- When you're curious there's a lot you can learn.
If you never stretch your fins,
you can miss out on discovering new things and new ideas.
- There was something else I learned about
because I was curious.
- What is it?
- I'll show you.
(intro music) - That was so awesome.
- Isn't it?
- Hi there!
Welcome to the Disney Courage and Kindness Club.
I'm Elena.
- And, I'm Malyah.
All week long,
we'll be talking to Disney Princesses
and learning how they show courage and kindness.
I'm so excited to learn from them.
- Me too.
All of the princesses are so courageous and kind.
That's why we look up to them.
They inspire us to be better.
- Exactly.
And today we'll be meeting with Ariel!
- Ariel's curiosity led her to find
some really cool gadgets and gizmos.
She loves exploring the ocean and discovering new items.
- And she loves learning about the human world.
She wouldn't even let her fin
to stop her from doing that.
- Which is why I'm so excited
she invited us over today.
She's going to teach us
all about being adventurous,
courageous, and curious.
- She's the perfect person to (animated sound)
perfect mermaid to (animated sound)
She's just perfect to teach us all those things.
(giggles) - Well,
I'm ready if you are Malyah.
- Ready!
Let's go.
(happy music)
- Hi, Ariel.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Elena.
- And, I'm Malyah.
Thank you so much for inviting us today.
- I'm so glad you're here.
I love meeting new humans. (giggles)
- We love all of the beautiful items you've collected.
Do you have a favorite?
- Gosh, it's Hard to pick a favorite
from so many wonderful things.
Got the Dinglehopper and the gizmos
And thingamabobs.
You know what?
I can't decide. (giggles)
But with each thing in my collection
comes with the adventure it took to find it.
I think that may be the best part.
- You have the best collection of things
because you're so adventurous and very curious.
- For when you're curious,
there's a lot you can learn.
If you never stretch your fins,
you can miss out on discovering new places,
new things, and new ideas.
Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to swim to the surface.
But it's worth it.
And I'm pretty lucky to have a best friend like Flounder.
Even when he's getting cold fins.
He'll still swim by my side
where ever my adventure takes us.
- Flounder is such good friend.
- Yeah. He's so supportive.
- Speaking of friends,
your curiosity has inspired me.
I'm usually shy to make new friends,
but because of you
I feel more comfortable getting to know
the kids in my class.
- That's amazing, Malyah.
- Thanks, Elena.
- That's fantastic, Malyah.
Sometimes that can be hard
even under the sea.
But if you're kind and friendly
you can learn so much from every fish and friend you meet.
Especially seagulls!
(girls giggles)
- Take Scuttle.
He's always teaching me
everything he knows about humans.
- Scuttle was great.
He knows a lot.
You're right.
When you meet new people, you can learn from them.
That's the best part.
(giggles) - What about you?
Is there anything neat you've learned
from being curious?
- I was always very curious about musical instruments.
So I learned how to play,
the flute.
Whenever I play it for my family,
they like to dance to it. (girls giggle)
- Wow, Elena. That sounds like a snarfblat
what Eric was playing the first time I saw him.
Gosh, I just love music.
It's probably because we had the best court composer
in the whole ocean,
Sebastian.
- I love Sebastian.
His music makes me want to dance.
(giggles)
Me Too.
I think that's why he's the best.
And what about you, Malyah?
Is there anything you've learned from being curious?
- I read a lot of books to learn about new places
and the people that live there.
So, I'm always curious
about what their life is like.
- Do you ever wish to be part of their world?
- Uh, yeah!
(giggles) - Then we have that in common.
I was always curious to see
what the human world was like.
Took a big adventure for me to find out.
(girls giggles)
- When I'm a little bit older,
I'll be able to be adventurous
just like you.
And visit-
all of the places I've been learning about.
- I bet you can be adventurous now.
Just, in different ways.
Maybe stay clear of sharks though
and sea witches.
(girls giggle)
- Thanks Ariel.
We will.
- Well Ariel,
thanks for inviting us today.
But I think it's time, Malyah and I,
go find some gadgets and gizmos of our own.
- That sounds like a great idea to me.
- Thanks for swimming by.
I hope you both always stay curious.
It's so wonderful.
- Thanks Ariel.
We will.
- Tell Sebastian I love his music.
- Oh, I sure will.
It'll make his day.
Good bye!
[Both Girls] Bye!
(happy music)
- I still can't believe
we just met Ariel!
- And niether can I!
She's so adventurous.
- And free-spirited.
- And funny!
- She's just awesome.
I just remembered-
that there was something I learned about
because I was curious.
- What is it?
- Well,
last year.
My best friend taught me American Sign Language.
She had to learn it
because one of her family members is deaf.
I was so curious about it after seeing it on TV
and she was willing to teach me signs.
I know a few signs,
but I've been
super nervous
to actually do it in front of people.
- That's so awesome.
Would you feel comfortable doing it now?
Because I would
love to learn.
- Really?
- Yeah!
Absolutely.
That would be so cool.
- Well,
like Ariel said,
she learns more when she's curious
and open to new experiences.
Not when she's
sticks to the same things she's used to.
- Exactly.
- This is how you say, "Hello. How are you?"
- Wow.
How did you do that?
- I'll show you.
Are you ready?
[Both Girls] Hello? How are you?
(clapping) - Amazing Elena.
- That was so awesome.
- Isn't it?
- You know what would be so cool?
What if they did some signs
for words we talked about today.
Like, courage.
- Oh, great idea.
This is how you say,
courage.
- Courage.
- Great job, Elena.
Let's do
kindness now.
(clapping) (giggle)
- Ooh. One more.
We have to do the word of day,
curiosity.
- You're right!
Curiosity.
You got it.
- Malyah, that was so awesome.
- Right?
That's how I felt when I first learned it.
I was just so curious about it
after seeing someone doing it on TV.
And now I know so many signs.
I want to learn them all!
- So do I.
I'm definitely going to practice these
and learn some more.
- We can learn them together.
- Sounds like a plan.
(girls giggle)
Well,
being curious worked in Ariel's favor.
And now look,
it's working for us.
(girls giggle)
- Today was so awesome!
I'm glad we met Ariel.
- Yeah, me too.
Flounder might say,
it was fin-tastic.
- It was the best.
She made me feel
confident
to finally do American Sign Language in public.
- Yeah. And you're so good at it.
Thank you for teaching me.
Now, I'm curious to learn more about it
because you were curious to learn more about it.
- Thanks, Elena.
- I think if we continue to be curious
and have the courage to explore your experiences
we will learn so much more about things we love.
- Absolutely.
- Well, I think that's all the time we have for today.
How do you Princess?
- I'm Elena.
- And, I'm Malyah.
Thank you for watching this special episode
of the Disney Courage and Kindness Club.
See you next time.
[Both Girls] Bye!
