The Thirteenth Year is a Disney Channel Original Movie released in 1999 directed by Duwayne Dunham (Halloweentown) and starring Chez Starbuck, Dave Coulier and Courtnee Draper.On a bright sunny day, a mermaid leaves her baby son on a human couple's boat while dealing with a zealous fisherman Big John Wheatley (Brent Briscoe). The child winds up getting adopted by this couple, Whit (Dave Coulier) and Sharon Griffin (Lisa Stahl Sullivan), and named Cody. Cody (Chez Starbuck) grows up living a fairly normal life, becoming the star of his school swim team and dating a girl named Samantha (Courtnee Draper). But then he begins to experience weird things shortly after turning thirteen years old, such as constantly feeling thirsty and growing scales and fins when he's splashed with water. With the help of his biology class tutor and eventual best friend Jess Wheatley (Justin Jon Ross)—who happens to be Big John's son—just what is happening to him. | |

Underestimating Badassery: Played with. Cody is by no means a Badass, but his voiceless mermaid mother does prove more adept at pursuing Cody than Big John anticipated. It's eventually subverted when Cody saves Jess from the net and uses his electrokinesis to revive him. | |

Character Development | |
| The Thirteenth Year / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Cody acts a bit like a standard jerk jock before he goes through Character Development, being a top sport swimmer who doesn't take his education seriously and looks down on nerds like Jess. It isn't until he needs Jess to help boost up his failing grade in biology and later safely discuss his merman-puberty experience that Cody starts to realize how much of an ass he was. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Cody goes off to be with his birth mom but leaves his adoptive parents and friends behind. However, Cody promises that he will return before the next school semester starts in order to complete his education, which implies that his transformation may not be completely irreversible, so this is mild. | |

Happily Adopted: Sharon and Whit, after finding a little baby boy dropped off on their boat and no one claiming the supposed "missing child", took in the little boy themselves, named him Cody, and raised and loved him like their own blood. It's to the point that Cody regards both his adoptive human parents and biological mermaid mother as equally important. | |

We Used to Be Friends: While Sean had shades of being a Jerk Jock in the beginning, he and Cody got along decently well. It's not until he glimpses his fins and suspects that's how he "cheats" at swimming so well that his true nature starts to come out. From here on, Sean and Cody's friendship goes completely downhill, culminating to the point where a teacher has to break up their fight. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons: The doctor who looks over Cody after the latter starts sticking to walls, when he gives his diagnosis: all his strange changes are a result of Cody going through puberty. On one hand, it's not inaccurate to call Cody's merman transformation just that. But what the doctor didn't take into account was that this was merfolk puberty. | |

| The Thirteenth Year / int_863fac26 | comment |
Jerk Jock: Sean fits this trope to a T. Not only is he a fierce rival to Cody over the swimming medal, he also tries to steal Sam away from Cody despite the fact Sam shows no interest in Sean at all. Additionally, he mocks Cody for even befriending Jess, saying that people like him don't talk to nerds like Jess, just look down on them. Cody acts a bit like a standard jerk jock before he goes through Character Development, being a top sport swimmer who doesn't take his education seriously and looks down on nerds like Jess. It isn't until he needs Jess to help boost up his failing grade in biology and later safely discuss his merman-puberty experience that Cody starts to realize how much of an ass he was. | |

True Companions: Discussed. At one point during the movie, Cody bemoans about how his merman side is (on top of restricting him from his swimming passion) ruining his social life. Sam didn't take his secret so well, and Sean has become hostile towards Cody under the assumption he's cheating. Yet, in wake of his merman transformation, Cody notes that Jess is the only one who hasn't been chased off thus far. When pressed on why he stuck around, Jess admits it was because he sees Cody as a friend. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Cody mentions Ariel from The Little Mermaid when he brings up his electrokinetic abilities. The plot of the film carries a few shades of H. P. Lovecraft's famous horror story The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Cody's transformation is about as progressive as the Brundlefly from The Fly (1986). Before his final race, Jess mentions Jerry Springer. Star Trek and Dungeons & Dragons are also mentioned by Jess. Titanic (1997) is indirectly mentioned when Cody boasts, "Feels like I’m king of the world." | |
