It's A Collection! Not An Obsession!

Sandy: Go ahead, Pearl. Ask for your dad back. Pearl: Your highness, earlier today, you froze my father because you think he stole your crown. I'm telling you, he didn't do it. He was set up by Plankton. At first, I was happy you took him away, but I learned something today: is that having a dad is a special thing. Sandy: Yeah. Pearl: Ah, heck, Your highness, I'm just a kid all alone in this crazy world. But if you could find it in your hearts or whatever you have to give my father back to me, it sure would make my life brighter again. (Starts crying quietly and looks down) Sandy: That was beautiful, Pearl. Pearl: Did it work? Sandy: No, they're leaving. Pearl: (head snaps up) Hey! You, scrawny-(seagull squawk) (ship bell)! What the (ship horn) is wrong with you?! You must be some kind of (dolphin chirp, foghorn) to ignore a crying child! Sandy: (shocked) Whoa, Pearl! Pearl: (Continues) You know what you (dolphin chirp) like?! You like to (aooga horn) and (aooga horn), and (aooga horn), and (aooga horn), and (aooga horn), and (aooga horn)! Sandy: (turns to Mrs. Puff) Hey, Puff, what does (aooga horn blares)mean?

Now that I think about it, they had the perfect opportunity to make this a grand finale, epic, high-stakes adventure. It doesn't have to be galaxy-ending, and they can still execute the "old protect the young, and the young protect the old" thing, and Rotta not being like his father at all. But instead they make a low-stakes "comfort food" movie. Did anyone even want a low-stakes comfort food movie? Who asked for this?
