It seems like we have a lot of writers on here at the moment, so I thought of something fun we could all do together.
The idea is that we go through the movie and when a scene ends, somebody continues it by writing what they think happens next.
For example, the Kiss the Girl scene ends when the boat tips over and Ariel and Eric fall into the lake, but somebody could keep the story going by writing about them climbing out of the water and going back to Eric's palace. Also, Vanessa's first scene ends with Eric being hypnotised, but this could be continued by writing about him running down to the beach and meeting her.
This is a rough list of the scenes that I think could be extended...
1. Fathoms below (after the fish dives overboard)
2. The concert (after Triton yells "Ariel!")
3. Swimming to the surface (after escaping Glut the shark)
4. Swimming back to Atlantica (after leaving Scuttle)
5. Ursula's plan (after "she may be the key to Triton's undoing")
6. Triton at the palace (after he sends Sebastian to keep an eye on Ariel)
7. Rescuing Eric (after Ariel pulls him to the surface)
8. The beach (after Ariel sings on the rock)
9. Ursula's unfortunate souls (after "a charming addition to my little garden")
10. Triton and his daughters (after "Ariel? In love?")
11. Triton and Sebastian (after "who said anything about humans?")
12. Ariel, Flotsam and Jetsam (after Ariel calls them back)
13. Swimming to Ursula's lair (after Flounder and Sebastian follow Ariel)
14. The surface (after human Ariel's hairflip)
15. Going to Eric's palace (after Eric helps Ariel walk)
16. Ariel getting ready for dinner (after Sebastian gets washed with the sail)
17. Chef Louis (after the fight with Sebastian)
18. Dinner (after "this crab wanders off my plate")
19. Night at Eric's palace (after Ariel goes to sleep)
20. Night at Triton's palace (after "what have I done?")
21. Carriage ride (after Ariel jumps over the ravine)
22. Kiss the Girl (after the boat tips)
23. Ursula takes matters into her own tentacles (after she transforms)
24. Vanessa (after Eric is hypnotised)
25. Wedding announcement (after Ariel runs out of the room)
26. Vanessa the bride (after Scuttle sees her reflection)
27. Chasing the wedding ship (after Flounder and Ariel swim away from the dock)
28. Sebastian finds King Triton (after Sebastian leaves the dock)
29. Eric on the ship (after Ursula drags Ariel overboard)
30. Ursula defeated (after Ursula's victims transform back into merpeople)
31. Ariel and Eric (after the kiss)
32. Happy ending (after the rainbow)
Anybody interested? You can write as much or as little as you want, and in whatever form you like (script, novel, maybe even a poem). The only thing to keep in mind is that you don't write something that would mess up the overall storyline (like a character dying or turning into something weird, especially if they appear in a later scene).
