Elena of Avalor

Mmmm.

The list you requested, Your Majesty.

Oh, thank you.

Let's see. Party hats, good.

Piñata, good. Chocolate fountain, great.

Elena, is that something you need me to take a look at?

Uh, no.

It's, uh, all looked at.

Princess Elena, we're ready for you.

Oh!

I did not know we were having a meeting.

We're not. It's, uh... a princess matter.

Oh, right.

And I am only the chancellor.

I'll be in the royal library collecting dust

with all the old books.

Perfect. Have fun.

Ay-yi-yi.

She has no idea it's my birthday.

He has no idea we're throwing him a surprise party.

That was close.

He's off to the library now, so we're in the clear,

and I have a list of everything we need.

I'm going to bake Esteban's favorite tres leches cake.

That reminds me of a story.

Francisco, we don't have time for this.

When Esteban was a boy,

he was such a picky eater,

and you made him the cake for his birthday,

but the only way to get him to eat it...

Was to do the "here comes the jaquin,

flying into his nest."

So what's the plan for the music?

My guitar is all tuned up.

Can I play the birthday song with you?

Of course, Isabel. It will be a beautiful duet.

Great. And party tricks?

I've been practicing all week.

Maybe practice some more.

That wasn't the trick.

Here it goes.

Llévaluq!

Bravo!

Why, thank you.

My gift!

Good thing I kept the receipt.

Sorry. I broke my concentration.

I really need to work on that.

Well, you'll have to do it later.

Right now, you and I have the most important task of the day.

What's that?

Keeping Esteban away from the palace

so he doesn't find out about the surprise.

Right. Of course.

We're taking him sailing.

Good idea.

Esteban loves sailing.

Just make sure to have him back in time for the party.

Aye, aye, Abuela.

I cannot believe everyone forgot my birthday.

Happy birthday, Chancellor Esteban.

Oh, Higgins. No one wants to pay attention to me anymore.

I'm just getting older, but I have nothing to show for it.

That's not true. You've got loads of new gray hairs.

Getting old is no fun.

Oh, how I wish I were young again.

Look at me, Higgins.

Strong, handsome, adventurous.

I had so many big dreams for my life

that were never fulfilled

because people were always telling me what to do.

First my grandparents, then Shuriki.

Guess what, cousin.

Now, Elena.

You're taking us sailing today.

See what I mean?

As much as I would love nothing more

than to spend the day chaperoning two rambunctious teenagers,

I'm afraid I am booked. Right, Higgins?

Actually, your schedule is wide open.

Anchors aweigh!

The cruiser's all packed.

And I found this old nautical map

in my grandfather's stuff.

Oh, it must be magical.

Look. There's the castle.

And I can see my house.

Did you just see that? There. Tap on it.

Tap on it. Tap, tap, tap!

Is that...

The island of Santalos!

What are we waiting for?

Anchors aweigh!

Come on, come on.

We're walking, we're walking.

Why do you want to go to the island of Santalos?

It is rumored to have a body of magical water

called the Fountain of Youth.

If you drink the water, you become younger.

Or so the legend says.

But, according to the myth,

one day, it could be just off the coast of Avalor,

and the next, it'll be on the other side of the world.

Do you realize what this means, Higgins?

When I drink from the fountain of youth,

I will be young and strong again.

I'll finally start living the life I always dreamt about.

Prepare to cast off, everyone.

We are going to Santalos!

I'm ready to rehearse.

What is that?

A new instrument I invented.

It's like an accordion and a guitar put together.

I call it a guitardion.

Mmm. I see.

Okay. I will do the first verse,

and you can come in after me.

Please, stop! Isa!

Why aren't you playing?

I thought this was supposed to be a duet.

A duet is a performance where both people are heard.

I can only hear that... that...

Guitardion?

Yes, that.

And besides, the birthday song

is supposed to be a sweet, heartfelt song,

not an assault on the eardrums.

I thought it would be fun to try something different.

Either we play it the way it was meant to be played

or not at all.

But I like my way.

I have an idea.

Why don't you both play for the royal staff,

and let them decide which one should be played at the party?

A birthday song battle?

Okay by me.

If a musical duel is what you want, Isabel,

then a duel you'll get.

According to the map,

Santalos is supposed to be right here.

I don't get it.

I do.

Your magical map is maybe not so magical after all.

Wait. I see something over there.

It's Santalos!

Santalos?! We better drop anchor so...

Done and done.

Guard the ship, Higgins.

I'm going ashore.

Wait up, Esteban.

You two stay here while I scout the area

to make sure it is safe.

But I will need this. Thank you.

Out of my way. Shoo, shoo!

Where is he going?

I don't know, but we have to get him back to the party on time,

so we better not lose him.

Now let's find that fountain of youth.

Ah!

There you are.

It's a long way down.

Okay.

Ay, my hip!

There it is.

The fountain of youth.

Farewell, old man.

No. I am still old.

Maybe I need some more.

Why is this not working?

Perhaps I did not drink enough.

Here's the map,

but where's...

Esteban!

What?!

No!

Well, what is it?

The fountain of youth myth is real!

Look at me!

I'm a young man again.

I missed you, my friends.

I must have more.

I'd go easy on the water.

It is magical.

Ay, Mateo, you worry too much.

Worrying is for old people.

From this day on, I will never be old again.

All I need to do is keep magical water on hand,

and at the first sign of a wrinkle,
