Hilda and the Sea Kingdom/Transcript

This is the full transcript of the 2024 film Hilda and the Sea Kingdom.

Prologue
(The Sony and Sony Pictures Animation appear before cutting to a shot of the sea. In this shot, we see two forces battling for their land next to the Sea Kingdom, a mystical kingdom filled with lanterns and decorative glasses. Then, we cut to a large underwater ship and inside the control room to show Lord Leif, a dark water lord who is in charge of the opposing dark force battling the kingdom's army. A title appears "50 Years Before".)

Lord Leif: Ha ha ha! Now that I have the three powerful crystals in the seven seas, they won't stand a chance against us this time!

(Lord Leif opens a door that reveals monsters of red and black, holding tridents.)

Lord Leif: Seize the kingdom! We need to take down that Light Orb!

(He pointed his hand to the kingdom.)

(Meanwhile, inside the Sea Kingdom, there was Queen Lily, a mermaid with red flower-like hair and a blue tailfin.)

Queen Lily: Ah, Lord Leif. Here to strike again, are you?

(Then, Pil, a cream dwarf humanoid, approaches Queen Lily.)

Pil: What do you want me to do, Madam?

Queen Lily: Have you ordered our army to attack them?

Pil: Well, about that...

Queen Lily: About what?

(Pil exhaled.)

Pil: They've gotten taken down. Their army is too strong!

Queen Lily: What?!

(Cut back to Lord Leif's ship.)

Lord Leif: Perfect. All according to plan.

(The ship went over the walls and inside the center of the kingdom. Lord Leif stepped out of it. He sneered.)

Lord Leif: One step in there, and it will all be gone.

(Just then, Queen Lily saw Lord Leif. She left the castle and walked towards Lord Leif with her guards.)

Queen Lily: So, came to kill this place, I see?

Lord Leif: Yep. And how will you and your little guards prevent that?

Queen Lily: You may have defeated our army, but you will never get through me and my veteran guards.

(Lord Leif simply made a quick move and tackled both Lily and her guards.)

Lord Leif: Haha! Silly weak fools.

(He ran deep inside the castle. Queen Lily stood up quickly and chased behind.)

(After a few minutes searching and attacking everything that stood in his way, Lord Leif found the Light Orb. It glowed and gleamed.)

Lord Leif: At long last. The Light Orb. Once I take it out of its place, this whole kingdom will shatter to the ocean floor.

(Before Lord Leif could get his hands on the orb, Queen Lily saw him.)

Queen Lily: Don't do it!

Lord Leif: Or what? You're gonna kill me?

Queen Lily: No! You'll fall with the kingdom!

Lord Leif: Along with you too.

Queen Lily: A queen must protect her citizens at all costs, even if it means sacrificing yourself to save them.

(A three-second interval took place between the two of them. Then Leif broke the silence by jumping straight at Lily, triggering a fight between the two. The two fought back and forth, throwing magic spells at each other, and even Leif duplicated himself into 6 clones to confuse Lily, that was what led to Lily's imminent defeat, as the real one managed to give her a strong kick throwing her straight into the wall. After that, he ran to grab the Light Orb, Lily with the little strength she had left saw how he was about to take the orb.

Queen Lily: No!

(Lord Leif cackled. And took the Light Orb from its place, this caused a shock wave that covered the entire kingdom. And after that, a scene was seen where everyone saw how the vegetation along with fruits, vegetables and even magic withered, everyone was even more upset when out of nowhere they felt a great tremor, it was from the kingdom that began to sink due to the lack of energy and magic. Returned to Leif and Lily, Lord Leif laughed maniacally.)

Lord Leif: What now, Your Majesty? (laughs maniacally)

(Crumble!)

Lord Leif: I have all the power now! Nothing could stop me now!

Queen Lily: You may have won the battle, but you have not won the war!

Lord Leif: You idiot, this is the war! And I have won! Our ancestors finally got what they deserve for what happened decades ago. You know what i'm talking about.

Queen Lily: Ghh, i'm sorry, okay? I've never wanted this happen, i only wanted to-

Lord Leif: Too late now! "Leif took out some kind of weird shell that served as a walkie talkie, and he spoke to the driver of the ship from it." Send it now.

(Debris fell from the ceiling, as a claw, which was part of the ship, had come down to pick up Lord Leif.)

Lord Leif: Ciao!

(And Lord Leif jumped on top of the claw, and it went out of the gaping hole that formed between the castle and the outside world.)

Lord Leif: Huahahahaahahahahah!!!!

(As Lord Leif entered his ship and took off, we then crane down to two witches, who are saddened to see everything around them fall apart within their reach.)

Akkwa: What should we do, Marin? What do we do with our daughter? "She shown their daughter, she was a very young girl"

Marin: (exhaled) I don't know, Akkwa.

(Then, a thought occurred to him.)

Marin: Do you know that spell that could make a very sturdy bubble?

Akkwa: Yeah, why?

Marin: We could do that!

(Marin looked over to a very young water witch, oblivious to what's happening.)

Marin: Come on, honey. Let's do this.

(Cut to outside, where Akkwa and Marin place the water witch inside the bubble.)

Marin: Lir, do not forget about us.

Akkwa: We know that you could help restore the kingdom back to its old roots.

Marin: But before we go, know this...

(Marin conducted a spell that depicts a young girl.)

Marin: This is a girl. She will be born in a distant future, achieving such great goals at a young age; one of them saving her world from a dastardly spirit.

Akkwa: And her friends will come to assist you, along with two other creatures, one being an octopus, and the other a Kappa of Japanese folklore.

Lir: Wha?

Marin: Yeah, i don't even know why a Kappa too, but well. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine.

(The bubble closed its hatch and floated up towards the surface, with Lir pounding the bubble to come back, all while Marin and Akkwa hugged each other before the kingdom landed to the bottom of the ocean. Lord Leif watched from the distance. He chuckled.)

Lord Leif: So long, Sea Kingdom. This is just the beginning of my master plan. "He then turned around" WHO'S GONNA STOP ME NOOOW!?

(Then he cackled before cutting to the opening titles.)

Part 1
(In the black screen, a title appears "50 Years Later". After that title, the screen fades to the sky and then goes down to show Trolberg. And then a montage where the screen moved around the city showing several shots where we are shown the life of several characters seen in the original series, such as Trevor, Kaisa, The Raven Leader, and even some other background characters already seen. In this montage you can hear a song called, "Put a song here". At the end of the montage, the camera finally arrives at Hilda's house, and the screen shows Hilda sleeping in her bed. And she wakes up. At the exact moment she open her eyes, She stood up on the bed and yawn.)

Hilda: Good, morning house! "Twig woke up too, and went to Hilda to say good morning" Hahah, good morning to you too my little Twig... "She looked at Alfur's clock house, and got out of bed to say good morning to his elf friend as well" Good Morning Alfur!!!

Alfur: GAH!! "He got out of his clock house" Don't say it too loud will ya? Anyways, good morning to you as well Hild.

Hilda: Sorry, Alfur.

(She got off the bed and dressed quickly. Then we are cut to several shots of her putting on her sweater, beret, and boots. She struck a pose.)

Hilda: Now who's ready to go adventuring?

(Twig put a paw up.)

Hilda: Good to see you're ready. But before we go on a adventure, let's have breakfast first.

Alfur: Yeah why not?

(Alfur jumped onto Hilda's shoulder and they left the room. Crossing the hallway they saw that Johanna was not in the kitchen cooking breakfast.)

Alfur: Uh, where's mum?

Hilda: I don't know, she would normally be here cooking our breakfast. (Hilda sees something on the table.) Hey look, a letter.

(She grabs the letter and reads it.)

Hilda: "Dear Hilda..."

(Then, the screen faded to white and a flashback occurred. In this flashback, Johanna was seen leaving the apartment to go somewhere. While the flashback was happening Hilda continued to narrate what the letter said.)

Hilda: "By the time you read this, I will be out of town to attend a very important meeting in Oslo. Until then, you, along with Alfur and Twig, will be the only ones in the house. I've already made your breakfast in the fridge, so don't forget that. But I know you won't. After all, you are an adventurer, right? See you later! Love, Mum."

(Hilda looked at Alfur and Twig.)

Alfur: Well...?

Hilda: Don't ask me. I've lived by myself before, but for over a day? No thank you.

Alfur: I suppose we can stay here for the time being.

Hilda: What about our Woff watch with Frida and David later today?

Alfur: Ehh, don't worry about that. We'll them 'em to reschedule it.

Hilda: Whatever, let's just have breakfast.

(Then it was shown from the window as Hilda went to the refrigerator and took out the breakfast her mother had left for them, and the camera panned down, and a girl in a blue jacket, red gloves and glasses was seen walking near Hilda's house. Her face and appearance was not entirely visible because of the clothes she was wearing, she had gone into an alley and entered a secret passageway that no one had found yet. After crossing there, she had entered a room. She took off her jacket, glasses and gloves, revealing that she was Lir, who had already grown into a preteen girl.)

Lir: I'm here guys.

(She flipped a switch and the light came on. In the room there were about three people, and a Kappa who was wearing a mariachi hat. Lir noticed that and asked the Kappa whose name was Tak.)

Lir: Uh, Tak? What happened to your hat?

Tak: Yeah, some people just stole it from me. So Jasper, Miriam and Meilly decided to buy me this... Thing...

Jasper: Hey it's not my fault, that was the cheapest hat we could find for you.

Tak: Yeah right...

Lir: Alright guys, focus! I got something to say. (She sat in one of the chairs at the table.) I've been thinking alot. If it's the time to execute the plan or not. But after what happened months ago with the evil spirit stuff, and we saw that she managed to defeat him with those incredible powers. I think, i think the time has come.

Tak: But, wait. What about that octopus your parents mentioned when they left you?

Lir: Well i'm not sure about that part. But I think we will find him eventually, and bring him up to speed on the situation.

Jasper: Well, honestly it's weird that they also mentioned us in their vision. Like, why exactly do we participate in?

Lir: Hmmm... I guess it's because you guys are also something else. You Jasper are a fearless fighter, who has fought and helped many people when needed.

Jasper: Aww, how considerate you are.

Lir: You Miriam are... A witch, for real?

Miriam: Yeah. I used to be in the Witch tower, but i've decided to retire and live my life.

Lir: Oh okay. And you Meilly. Well, you're a nerd. Nerds are so smart right?

Meilly: Totally! Also a lover of puppies.

Jasper: We all know babe.

Tak: Wait!

Lir: What?

Tak: I think this girl has friends with her too. What should we do about 'em?

(3 seconds of silence. Lir smacked her lips.)

Lir: Yeah, I didn't even think about 'em in the first place.

Jasper: But weren't they with 'em in the first place? I mean, like, ever since that spirit of theirs was defeated months ago, they started hanging out more often.

Lir: Jasper, please. I know what I'm doing.

Jasper: Fine.

Miriam: Should we bring her now?

Lir: No, not yet. We gotta do it later. We got to prepare everything for our operation, now let's get moving. We got stuff to do!

(Meanwhile, inside Hilda's house, Hilda and Alfur had breakfast.)

Hilda: Hm. Not bad eggs and toast. Mum really knows how to make a breakfast like this, right?

Alfur: Yeah.

Hilda: Say, where's your breakfast?

Alfur: In here!

(Alfur took out a large leather bag, which had a container inside.)

Hilda: What is that?

Alfur: Just some breakfast I had delivered here this morning. Had Bartell hand it to me.

Hilda: Oh, so you two are, like, artificial brothers?

Alfur: Oh, Hilda. Sometimes, you're just so too friendly for us. And I like it.

Hilda: True that.

(Suddenly the doorbell rang)

Hilda: Oh! That's definitely has to be Maxxel!

Alfur: Who?

Hilda: You'll see!

(She opened the door, but it wasn't Maxxel who was there. It was a Tontu)

Hilda: Tontu? (She let him in and then closed the door) Where were you?

Tontu: I went to give a visit to my friends, just some nisse that literally don't have anywhere else to go, so they live at the Trolberg landfill

Hilda: Euugh...

Tontu: Yep. I also came across a trio of people who kept talking about what happened two months ago. You know, about the evil spirit in the ring and all that...

Hilda: Ah yes, i still remember that epic fight we had that spirit and i. Good that i managed to defeat him. Otherwise everyone would be dead. So, what else they were talking?

Tontu: Not much else.

Hilda: Oh. Anyways, we were eating breakfast here. We left you some eggs and toast in the refrigerator.

Tontu: How thoughtful you are.

(Then, the doorbell rang again. So Hilda went to see who it was this time. She opened the door and saw nobody. But when she looked down she saw a letter with a title in red marker that read "To Hilda" She picked it up and closed the door.)

Hilda: Someone just left a card on the door. Let's see what's inside.

(She opened it up, and started to read it.)

Hilda: "Dear Hilda... Very important meeting at the docks! You have to come ASAP! Sincerely, David."

(Hilda looked at Tontu and Alfur.)

Hilda: What could be so important for David to mail a letter to me without knowing?

(Tontu and Alfur shrugged.)

Alfur: So you're going? But what if it's a set-up? What if someone's pretending to be David so that they'll do something horrible to you?!

Hilda: Don't worry, Alfur. I'm sure David knows what he's talking about. After all, he's the one that's more afraid of all the things than Frida and I.

(Alfur exhaled.)

Alfur: Okay. I'll guard the house, I guess.

Tontu: And i'll... Also guard the house too i guess.

Hilda: Okay, see you later!

(Hilda left the apartment and went straight to the docks. When she got there, she started looking for David.)

Hilda: Oh, David! Where are you?

(Then, she saw someone sitting in the dock)

Hilda: Hello?

(She walked towards the one sitting on the dock, but being very close to her, she spoke)

Lir: So, you're Hilda? I've heard about you.

Hilda: Hm? You're not David.

Lir: I'm not.

Hilda: Who are you? And what do you want from me?

Lir: Hush down, Hilda. I'm not going to hurt you.

Hilda: Give me one reason why I shouldn't call Safety Patrol on you!

(Lir sneered.)

Lir: Remember what happened two months ago? The spirit and everything?

(Hilda raised an eyebrow.)

Hilda: Yeah. Why?

(A drop of sweat dripped down Hilda's forehead.)

Lir: I need you to come with me. I have something very important to show you.

(Lir stood up. She grabbed onto Hilda's wrist.)

Hilda: Whoa. Where are we going?

Lir: Somewhere you shall not tell anyone. Or else the whole world will freak out.

(Hilda looked around her worriedly.)

Lir: Relax. Like I said, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just need you to follow me and then we'll sort it all out ourselves. It's no big deal.

Hilda: (stammering) O... okay then. But make it quick. Please! If my mum and my friends find out I've went missing, who knows what's going to happen?

Lir: It'll all be over soon.

(Hilda gulped as she and Lir walked away from the dock.)

Part 2
(Hilda and Lir entered through the alley where the passageway to Lir's hideout was located.)

Hida: Uhh, is this where we'll talk?

Lir: No.

(Lir opened a secret door that was painted with bricks to confuse passersby, and they both entered. As they walked down the stairs Hilda spoke.)

Hilda: Huh, with a reason never has ever found this passageway.

Lir: Yeah, we had to make sure that nobody ever find the secret entrance so that's why we made the door like that.

(At the top of the stairs they opened a door leading to the room where Jasper and the others were gathered.)

Lir: I've finally found her guys.

Hilda: Oh my god!

(She saw the trio, and was even more stunned to see the mariachi-hatted kappa sitting with them. But she didn't know what species he was yet.)

Hilda: Uhhhhh.... W-why is he wearing that-

Jasper: Some guys stolen his hat so we had to get him another one. That was the cheapest one we could find.

(Tak just groaned. Hilda approached him and examined him closely. But Tak didn't liked that and he just pushed her away from him)

Tak: Hey, hey! Have you never seen a Kappa before?

Hilda: A what?

Tak: A Kappa is a creature from the Japanese Folklore. Generally known as a yokai! "A gong noise played"

Hilda: Ooh. Well, now that we have all introduced ourselves-

Jasper: My name's Jasper, that's Meilly, and Miriam.

(The two girls greeted Hilda.)

Meilly: Hello!

Hilda: Yeah... Now that we all introduced ourselves, i'd like to say. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!? Why there's a Japanese Folklore in here? And why are you wearing that mask on your mouth Ms Miriam?

Miriam: It's my taste, girl

Hilda: Whatever, what's going on in here anyways, why did you guys brought me here?

Lir: Alright, calm down calm down. We'll explain you the situation. Just, take a seat and listen.

Hilda: Alright...?

(Hilda took a seat as Lir cleared her throat.)

Lir: So... I think you're wondering why you're here, right?

Hilda: Yeah...

Lir: Okay. We need your help.

Hilda: Why?

Lir: Apparently, you were chosen to save an underwater Sea Kingdom from being annihilated forever.

Hilda: I'm sorry, what?

Tak: To put it simply, she said you're the chosen one.

Hilda: The chosen one for what?

Tak: To save her home from being destroyed permanently.

(Hilda stood up.)

Hilda: Okay, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not going to help you guys because I am not doing this again! Especially since I had to save my own world from getting annihilated by a dastardly spirit. You won't believe how hard that was! So I'm outta here; good day!

(The door Hilda was about to enter was blocked off by two metal doors. Hilda was dumbfounded.)

Miriam: Too far, Lir.

Lir: Come on, she has to do this. The prophecy said so.

Hilda: Wait, did you just say "prophecy"?

Lir: Yes. The prophecy states that you would be born in such a distant future, acheiving goals that no one else could ever acheive, including saving the world from a spirit of ancient roots.

Hilda: Okay, can we stop talking about this? I really don't want to deal with this traumatic moment again.

Lir: Sorry, but it's true.

(Miriam looked at Meilly.)

Miriam: She's not gonna accept this, isn't she?

Meilly: Chill, I know she will. Look at that door over there. It's locked.

(Miriam then looked at Hilda.)

Miriam: Better do what she says Hilda! She won't let you go until you accept. You're stucked in this with us as well, you like it or not.

Jasper: She's right. Go on, you've been on many adventures in the past. Remember when you were literally kidnapped by a troll and then reunited the trolls with their mother?

Hilda: Eeeghh?!?! How did you guys knew about that adventure!? Who told you!?

Jasper: Well. You might be surprised but. We've been watching you during this whole time. Even if you didn't realized.

(So Hilda's mind became clear at that moment, and then a montage was shown where several moments from the original series and the movie were revisited, but we were shown that Lir, Jasper, Miriam, and Meilly have been spying on Hilda and her friends all along. All this they have been doing since Hilda and her mother moved to Trolberg. Since then they have been spying on her and her friends, even at times where they clearly couldn't have been like in the stone forest episode, where it is revealed that Miriam was sent to save them from there, as they needed her alive if or if, but then she watched as she and her mother and her pet managed to get out of there on their own. We were also shown that when Hilda was in the mountain transformed as a troll, they had also been spying on her, but not going to the mountain, but Miriam did the same as Frida and David did to see where Hilda was, however as she was a better witch than Frida, she did not get the spell wrong and they were able to see her during the time she was there transformed. After that set up, and after realizing the truth, Hilda simply screamed.)

Hilda: YOU'VE BEEN SPYING ME AND MY FRIENDS THIS WHOLE TIME!?

(Jasper then nodded.)

Jasper: Even if you didn't realized that we were there. We've been spying you all this whole time.

Meilly: And we sure did admire your adventures Hilda. Like, one thing is just turning your friend into a witch like Miriam, and one big thing is reuniting a bunch of trolls with their mother, who has been burried down Trolberg for like, many years. But one massive thing, one that we truly cherish the most... is literally SAVING THE WORLD, from an evil spirit on a ring. We sure watched that fight you had with him Hilda. And let me tell you, IT WAS EPIC!!

(Hilda looked away from them and then looked back.)

Hilda: How come you never told me this before?

Jasper: Our cover would've been blown, obviously. This is like spy stuff we're talkin' here!

Hilda: Okay, but that's just plain creepy! At this point, based on what you've done in the past, I think I should call Safety Patrol on you guys, because I am certainly not happy with this!

(Lir grabbed Hilda's arm.)

Lir: Don't call the Safety Patrol. Or else you will suffer the consequences.

(Tak put his hat aside and put his front paws up for combat, and Miriam's hands emitted a white glow.)

Hilda: Okay, okay. I won't call them. But please, for the love of God, don't do anything like this again!

Jasper: This is only one time. Don't worry.

Hilda: It better!

Lir: So are you willing to help us?

(Lir raised an eyebrow. Hilda looked at everyone. She exhaled.)

Hilda: Okay. I will help.

(A party blower sound played and confetti exploded from above.)

Miriam: Let's go!

Hilda: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you planned this? Even if I didn't accept the offer?

Jasper: We figured you would've accepted it, regardless if we hadn't put that door there.

(Meilly ran up to Hilda and gave her a tight hug, which Hilda was obviously not so comfortable with.)

Meilly: YOU'RE SO FLUFFY!! And CUTE!!!

Hilda: Yeah... (She looked at Jasper a bit annoyed.) Right...

(Jasper just shrugged with a smug smile and rolled his eyes.)

Hilda: So what's the plan to save this, "Sea Kingdom" you've mentioned... Can you let me go Meilly.

(Meilly looked at Hilda with a puppy-dog face.)

Meilly: Just a little more...

(Hilda simply made a very serious face, and Meilly decided to listen to her and release her from the embrace.)

Lir: Well, first things first Hilda. You're coming with us underwater.

Hilda: Wait, what?!

Tak: Don't worry. She knows how to cast an underwater spell. So you're good.

Hilda: Yeah, I'm having second thoughts about this.

Lir: Don't even think about backing out of this. We already made a deal.

Hilda: Ugh, fine. What else do you want me to do?

Lir: We'll explain more once we get there. First, get yourself prepared. We're going under soon.

Hilda: Wait, should I tell my friends about this?

Lir: That's your choice, not ours.

TBA.
