ms. Strich:
and then the rhino lord
yelled "charrrrrge!"

And the rhinos came
a-thundering

toward the elephants!

The elephants were outnumbered!

Out-matched!
It looked hopeless!

But king babar was not afraid!

Badou:
yay, papi!

He had all the elephants
line up backwards!

He painted big eyes
on their backsides!

The rhinos saw the eyes!

And to them it looked like

The eyes of a whole
line of giants!

The rhinos were so frightened
they turned -

Horn over hoof -

And ran, ran, ran away!

King babar had cleverly
won the day.

All kids:
yeah! Woo-hoo! Hooray!

Ah well, that concludes
today's history lesson.

Hey, 'bu!
Great lesson!

Great lesson, huh?

It sure was!

Nothing scares my papi.

So you want to go practice
some kicker ball moves?

Ms. Strich:
not so hasty,
little ms. Monkey!

Don't forget your
ballet lesson.

Oh, right ms. Strich.

The royal recital
is a-fast approaching.

It's one of the biggest
artistic events of the year!

I'll be there in a monkey
minute, ms. Strich.

See that you are,
my prima monkerina.

[Chuckles]

Come get me
at the end of class.

We'll play kicker
ball then.

Badou:
munroe! Heads up!

[Thud!]

[Air whistles
as the ball deflates]

[Laughing]

Munroe:
very funny.

One, two, three
and leap!

oh, tres bon!

Now a pirouette.

Like this, chiku.

Voila!

Badou:
that was tusk-tastic!

Ms. Strich:
merci, my most
perceptive majesty.

Is that spinning
thing hard to do?

It's called a pirouette,
young prince.

And yes,
it does take practice.

Especially with the royal
recital almost upon us.

Let's take it from
the top, chiku.

Badou:
can I take it from the top,
too, ms. Strich?

Ms. Strich:
why, of course.

One, two, three
and leap.

Badou:
whoa-a-a!

One, two, three
and pirouette!

zawadi:
do you believe anyone
could look that silly?

Munroe:
[laughs] I know!

What was he thinking?

[Laughing]

Jake:
it made me laugh
when he wheeee...

Spun around!

Munroe:
yeah!

[Laughing]

Jake:
show us again, munroe!

Show us again!

I'm rataxes the rhino lord.

Here I come!

Whoa!

Ahhhh!

[Giggles]

Where's badou?

He was taking dance
lessons with chiku.

I looked in.
Badou was pretty good.

[Laughing]

Lightly, now!
Lightly!

Butterfly toes!

[Thud] oof!

♪♪

Bravo,
young feather feet!

Your progress has been
nothing short of remarkable!

Yeah,
your good, badou.

[Gasp]
perfect for a spot in
tomorrow's royal recital!

Royal recital?

A talent such as yours cannot
be kept hidden from the world.

You want me to dance in front
of everyone in the palace?!

No way, ms. Strich.

Oh dear! Opening night jitters,
nothing more.

Trust me, you're ready!

Chiku:
what's the matter, 'bu?

Why don't you want
to dance?

I'm not going to give anyone
a chance to laugh at me.

Laugh at you?

No one is going
to laugh at you!

Whose going to laugh
at you?

[distant laughter]

Jake?
Jake laughs at everything.

Jake:
there he is!
I see him!

Badou! Hey, badou.

Munroe:
huh. He came in here.

[Echoes]
bahhhh-booooooooooo!

Try that again.

[Echoes]
bahhhh-booooooooooo!

[Echoes]
buhhhh-booooooooooo!

[Echoes]
bah-ah-ah-boooooooo!

[Laughing]

Wow... They are
laughing at you.

See! No way I can get on
stage in front of everybody!

Periwinkle:
how exciting!

We have a dancer
in the family!

[Giggles]

Well, he certainly didn't
get his talent

From his grandfather.

How would anyone know,
dear?

As I recall you haven't danced
since our wedding day.

That's because I have
four left feet.

I don't want
to embarrass you.

You wouldn't embarrass me,
babar.

Zawadi:
this is going to be cool.

Munroe:
yeah, badou is good.

Don't worry, badou.
You're going to do great!

You're a natural,
remember?

Yeah,
a natural disaster.

Hey, it's just friends
and family, friends and family.

Nothing to get nervous
about.

Ms. Strich:
so, young master twinkle toes,

Your royal debut
is just about to begin!

Wait here while I prepare
the audience

For your grand entrance!

[Screams]
[audience chuckles]

Welcome,
mesdames et monsieurs,

To the debut of the most
exciting new face and feet...

ever to fandango into this
ballet instructor's heart!

Oh!
[Thud]

Ms. Strich:
prepare to be dazzled

By celesteville's newest
dancing duo...

Chiku avec prince babar
the second!

Audience:
yeah! Go! Bravo! Woo-hoo!

Ahem.

Chiku and prince badou!

Oh. [Chuckles]

Well, perhaps our
precocious pachyderm

Needs une petite push...

Um... Badou has left
the building!

[Gasp]

[Shocked]
what?

Munroe:
badou bolted?

Well, he might not have

If you three hadn't
kept laughing at him!

especially you, jake.

We weren't laughing at him,
chiku. Honest!

king babar:
wait here everyone.

I'll find out where the lad's
cold feet may have taken him.

Ms. Strich:
ohh! This is a disaster!

A disaster, I tell you!

Don't worry, ms. Strich,
I've got you covered.

babar:
ahem.

Badou:
oh. Papi. Guess that
was pretty bad, huh?

Your dancing just now
or your running away?

Badou:
both.

I thought the dancing looked
pretty good.

I wish I could dance
half as well.

But let's talk about
the running away part.

Badou:
I was afraid of getting
laughed at.

That's the same reason I
pretend my old foot's asleep

Every time your grandmother
wants to dance.

You do? Why?

Well, she's such
a fine dancer,

I'm afraid I'm going
to look foolish...

You see!

[Laughs]

Badou:
[laughs]

Sorry, papi.

That's okay. That's why
you never seen me dance.

Well, you've never
looked foolish.

True. But I've missed out
on a lot of fun, too.

you can come out now,
jake.

Didn't I tell everyone
to wait inside?

You did
and I'm sorry,

But I didn't want badou to
think we were laughing at him.

Really, we weren't.

Munroe saw you practicing,
'bu.

He told us
how good you were.

We were all really excited

About watching you
dance tonight.

king babar:
you see, badou.

The laughing was
all in your mind.

Like it is in yours
too, papi.

You know what!

I could teach you
how to dance!

Really?

Well, enough to dance
with the queen

In front of the whole court?

Badou:
sure! Nothing to it.

[King babar chuckles]

Besides, as long as
you're having fun...

King babar:
...who cares if anyone
laughs at you?

I know a way we could both
get over our worries...

♪♪

[Cheering and applause]
hooray! Bravo!

Ms. Strich:
thank you, chiku,

For your wonderfully
original

"Pas de deux
avec kicker ball!"

Now that concludes
our royal dance recital.

badou:
excuse me, ms. Strich!

Sorry, I'm late.

But there are two more
performers

Who'd like to entertain
for the court!

Two?

Queen celeste:
bravo!

[Cheering on]
go! Yeah! Go!

♪♪

Well, badou, we seem to given
our fear of looking foolish

The kick! Whoa!

Yeah! Having a friend along
makes things half as scary!

And twice as fun!

Ooomff!

I'm going to have to help you
work on those jumps, though.

[Laughing]

Badou:
...14 ....15 ...16 ...

Ready or not,
prepare to get caught!

[quiet snickering]
shhh!

Badou:
gotcha! Oops.

Ahhhh!

Zawadi:
ow!

Jake:
uhh! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Crocodylus:
help! att*ck! as*ault!

Ambassador, look out!

Ahhhh!

No. Push this way...

No pull, pull...

Badou:
come on ambassador.

king babar:
ah-hem.

Badou:
oh. Papi.

King babar:
badou, I thought
you'd been told:

no hide-n-seek
in the gallery.

I can't wait to hear what
trouble that pint-sized prince

Gets into over this.

Badou, it's not like you
to go about breaking rules.

I'm sorry.
It's just...

King babar:
just?

Badou:
we can't play hide-n-seek
in the palace...

Or kicker ball on
the royal lawns...

We can't float boats
in the fountain...

Or play heropotamus
in the gardens.

we're not always allowed
to go into the jungle

Or out on the great grass sea.

What are we supposed to do?

Hmmm.

It is important for kids to
have a special place to play.

a place you can call your own.

if only you could
find that old...

Badou:
that old what, papi?

King babar:
it's here in my memory book,
I think.

Many years ago we needed
to build new storage rooms

On the palace.

We had a herd of hungry
baby elephants to feed.

One of our master builders,
or so the story goes,

took great delight in adding
secret rooms and tunnels.

Secret tunnels!

king babar:
they say this
mysterious builder

constructed a hidden courtyard
somewhere in the palace.

Whatever happened
to the builder?

Yes, dear,
where did he go?

One day he just...
Vanished! Poof!

Wow! He does sound
mysterious!

Ah, but he left us a clue:

"To find my courtyard,

Pick a path from the four
ends of the earth.

From there..."

From there?

"Just follow your nose".

[Chuckles]

What if someone did find this
hidden courtyard, papi?

I'd say he'd get to keep it.
And its secret!

You run along now, badou.

And take that photo...
If you like.

Secret tunnels!

Just the thing for secretly
invading the palace.

[Evil laughter]

Badou:
"to find my courtyard,

Pick a path from the four
ends of the earth."

Zawadi:
okay...

So what does that mean?

It could mean north,
south, east and west!

Chiku:
like on a map!

Like on a map, right 'bu?
We need to find a map!

There are maps
in the throne room.

Chiku:
yeah, yeah, yeah!

With a map, finding it
will be a piece of cake!

Cake?
Are we looking for cake?

[Laughing]

A chart of the big
lake isles...

A guide to the gardens
of celesteville...

Muck and mire!

Not a blueprint in the bunch!

I must find those hidden
tunnels.

Crocodylus knows about
all the hidden stuff?

How could he know about
all the hidden stuff?

Sloppy security.

badou:
come on, we'll find the
courtyard some other way.

zawadi:
let's go...

[Effort grunts]

okay, we should at least
do it logically.

Badou,
what part of the palace

This mysterious builder
was working on?

Here, but the picture
is old.

I don't-

[Gasp]

Jake knows where that is,
don't you, jake?

Those are the basement
storage rooms!

Shhh! Not so loud.
Security.

Jake:
they keep all the food
down there.

Bananas and mangoes,

Pineapples, avocados
and papayas...

And guavas and kiwis...

[Sniffs]

I smell spink weed.

A crocodile's favorite dish.

Munroe:
hii-yaa!

This is the right
corridor.

Guys? Guys!

Is there another clue
in the photo?

Nothing I can see.

just stacks of bricks
and tools.

Chiku:
hey guys!

We're looking for the four
ends of the earth, right?

Right?
The four ends of the earth.

Zawadi:
like on a map.

Chiku:
or maybe... A compass?

Badou:
chiku, I think you found it!

Chiku:
coooool!

Guard, have you seen ambassador
crocodylus recently?

Badou:
"pick a path from the four
ends of the earth".

And look!

The compass points
to that door.

Pssst... Incoming.

Crocodylus.

Jake:
we should hide.

Jake:
uh, 'bu... This doesn't look
like a hidden courtyard.

Zawadi:
more like a hidden
junk yard.

Maybe the courtyard
doesn't exist after all.

Badou:
look at this.

The bricks on this wall
are totally different

Than the ones on
the other three!

Munroe:
stand back!
Let me check this out.

Jake:
maybe there's something
behind it.

In the movies,

Book shelves always
hide secret passages.

And one of the books
always opens it!

Whoa!

Munroe:
ow! Oof! Ugh! Agh! Ooh!

Aww!

[Chuckles]

Whooo-ooooo-oooo!

[Shrieks]

Not funny, chiku.

We're not getting
anywhere.

Maybe we are.

Remember the second part
of the builder's clue?

Follow your nose?

That's right, jake.
Follow your nose!

[Rumbling]

What'd I tell you!

Always behind the bookcase!

[gasps]

badou:
crocodylus!

We can't let him find
the secret door!

[Effort grunts]

Chiku:
the screen.

[Effort grunt]

Badou:
quick! Munroe, come on!

Crocodylus:
muck and mire!
There's nothing here.

Ahh-ahhh...

Whaa-chooooo...

king babar:
ambassador!

Ahhhhh!

You're not supposed
to be down here.

Um... Yes.

I mean, no.
I mean... I got lost.

Lost?

Is that why you were searching
through the maps

In the throne room?

I... Um... Uh...
That is- I -

king babar:
never mind.

Lost, you say.

Well, I have the perfect
solution for that.

Come with me.

[Groans]

That was lucky.

Munroe:
yeah. Lucky for crocodylus.

Ooh! Munroe!

[Chuckles]

Badou:
come on, let's see
where this goes.

This is it!

the hidden courtyard!

All:
yeah! Hooray! Woo-hoo!

Badou:
it's just like papi's
story said!

Coooool!

Woooaahhh!

[Laughter]

This'll make an
excellent clubhouse!

Is the courtyard
really ours, badou?

Papi said that whoever
finds it can keep it.

It's our secret now.
Right?

kids:
right!

Ms. Strich:
and voila!

This is the palace's
grand foyer.

Muck and mire!

I know this is the foyer!

Now, now, ambassadeur.

King babar made me promise
to give you

The full six hour tour.

You won't get lost in
the palace ever again.

Now note how the choice
of marble

Compliments the decorative
local flora...

celeste:
badou!

No kicker ball
in the foyer.

badou:
sorry, nana.

Hey, papi, we found
the perfect place to play.

The old basement
storage room.

Ah, that was you there.

Yeah, thanks for helping
with the ambassador.

Are you sure we can use
the storage room?

King babar:
everyone needs a special
place to call their own, badou.

Of course you can use it!
Enjoy!

badou:
thanks, papi!

Do you think they
found it?

Did you see his smile?
I'm sure they did.

And do you suppose
the mysterious builder

Will miss his courtyard?

No, my dear.

I rarely get to visit
it anymore.

And I won't be going back.

The courtyard belongs to badou
and his friends now.

Badou:
who's up for a game of
courtyard kicker ball?

[Cheering]

Badou:
kicker goooaaaalll!
