[Birds chirp]

[Bonk]

[Whistling]

[Whistling]

He! Ahh!

Whaaaaa!

Agh!

[Moans in pain]

[Gasp]

My coconuts are gone!

[Humming]

Huh? Whaaaaa!

Uugh!

[Groans]

[Wing gusts]

By my step and stumble!

I've been robbed!

Badou:
who wants to play
monster chasers?

I do!
Let's get polomoche!

Rawwr!

No, no, zombie moles!

[Giggling]

Cornelius:
so it was one table,
one chair-

Well,
they took everything!

From my favourite chair
to my breakfast coconut!

Gone! Vanished! Zap!

Gone?

Vanished?

Zap!

What's wrong,
cornelius?

We've had reports of odd
disappearances

In the j-borhood.

Hah! We'll help you get
to the bottom of it!

Hi-ya! Ya!

You don't think a real
monster took the stuff,

Do ya 'bu?

Not every mystery is caused
by a monster, jake.

Let's help cornelius
figure this one out.

I think polomoche
has come back.

Jake:
polomoche?!

Coconut farmer:
legend says that a big
yellow monster

Flies on a cloud
grabbing things-

Yes, yes that's very
imaginative,

But lets get back
to what actually happened.

Did you see anything,
mr. Corkybo?

I heard a sniffing
and a sucking and slurp!

All my coconuts were gone.

Gallop lost
a coconut too!

Hmm. I'll check the rest
of the orchard for clues.

Jake:
not alone! You can't go
alone if there's monsters!

Badou:
we'll all go, jake!



All this tramping around
in the bush

Reminds me of my days
as an army scout.

Did I ever tell you boys
about the time

I spotted a squad of rhinos

Sneaking up
on the king's camp.

What did you do?

The first thing I did,
it was take a deep breath

To clear my head.

[Deep inhale and exhale]

Then I let them catch
sight of me.

I led them away
from the camp

Into a maze of giant
anthills!

And the ants bit them
so badly

The rhinos chucked their
armour and ran home!

[Laughing]

Wow!
You were really brave!

Like ninja brave!

[Giggles]
actually I was terrified,

But I kept my head
instead of panicking.

Hmm. Ah, this looks
like a clue.

A coconut?

The only coconut I've seen
in this part of the orchard.

The rest of the trees
have been stripped.

See if you boys find
any off that way.

Badou:
c'mon, guys!

Whoo!
Whoo-hooo!

Badou:
lots of coconuts in this
part of the orchard.

Munroe:
maybe the monster
hasn't been here yet.

Badou:
I don't think there is a-

[Gasps]
[whooshing]

What was that, 'bu?

Cornelius:
whaaaaa!

Jake:
cornelius!

Cornelius!

[Sniffing]

Cornelius!

I can't get a whiff
or sniff of him, 'bu!

It's like he's just...
Gone.

Vanished!

Zap!

Aaaaaah!
A monster took cornelius!

Munroe:
hi-ya!

Badou:
guys, don't panic!
Don't-

Aaaaaah!

Munroe:
was is it, 'bu?
It's sniffing!

It looks like a kicker
ball with antennas!

A baby monster!

And here comes mommy!

[Mechanical whirring]

[Whooshing]

Aaaaaah!

Ahhhh!

Badou:
jake, no!

This thing is thrillin'
for a quillin'!

Munroe, stop!

Baaaaattle raaaaattle!

Wait!

Ahhhhh!

Jake:
whaaaa!

Aaaaah!

Badou! Help!
The monster's got me!

Munroe! Needle nab time!
Ready?

Aagh!

Whoa!

Oof!

Grr.

Wait, guys! Wait!

It's okay!

Whoa!

See! It's not really
after us.

It's some kind
of coconut vacuum.

Jake:
but 'bu...

Cornelius was holding
a coconut

Just before he disappeared.

Cornelius!

C'mon!

Hello?

Helllooooo!

[Sighs] by my tusks,
this is quite the pickle.

[Effort grunts]

[Panting]

Badou:
wait!

'Bu? C'mon, 'bu!
Please!

Guys, remember what
cornelius said.

We can't panic.
We have to keep our heads.

So what do we do?

Jake,
you're the fastest.

Run to the palace and tell
my papi what happened.

Munroe, cut through
the orchard to the blimpfield.

Grab your zoomerblimp
and a strong rope.

Meet me at the coconut
grove by the river!

Gotcha, 'bu!
Why there?

'Cuz that's where I'm gonna
lead the blimpliner!

Jake:
lead it? How?

Badou:
I'm gonna let it catch
sight of me

Just like cornelius did
the rhino soldiers.

Now let's go!

[Whirring]

[Sniffs, beeps]

[Panting]

Ahhhhh!

Yaykes!

Don't panic!
Keep your head!

[Whooshing]

Deep breath!

Agh!

Agh!

Whooo!

Monroe:
badou!

[Laughs]

Hurry, we have to get
to the blimpliner

While it's busy sucking up
coconuts!

Right!

[Grunt of effort]

By my tusks!

I'm in a blimpliner!

Deep breath!

[Big inhale]

For cornelius!
Woo-hoo!

Whoaarrrr!

Uh, uh, hello?

Who's there, please?

No, no, no, wait,
never mind who's there!

Get me out of here!

Who are you?

And what have you done
with cornelius?

No, no, no,
you're confused.

My name isn't cornelius!

It's zurapha wozikiwak.

Professor zurapha wozikiwak.

Wow! Her name's as
long as her neck.

What happened?
How did you get stuck?

No, no, no,
I'm stuck!

Though, perhaps wedged would
be a more appropriate term.

Hmm...

I was rewiring my coconut
harvester

And my blimplab hit some
turbulence.

My head popped up-
whaaaaa!

Badou:
don't panic, professor.
Take a deep breath!

Oh! Yes, yes...
That's much better!

Professor wozikiwak,
at your scientific service.

Which one of you
is cornelius?

I'm badou.
This is munroe.

Cornelius is our friend.

Who we think
got vacuumed up

By your coconut
thing-a-ma-bob!

Oh! Quibbles and quarks!

It wasn't designed
to do that!

No, no, no,
not at all!

[Big inhale]

Ha-ha-hah!

The coconut harvester
must have crossed circuits

With my blimplab's autopilot!

This is most disturbing!

Munroe:
[gasp] did cornelius
fall out?

Cornelius:
all right,
you coconut crooks!

Prepare to... Huh?

Badou, munroe:
cornelius! You're all right!

Babar:
this is king babar and
the celesteville royal guard!

Land your ship
immediately!

Rescue party, ready?

Royal guard:
ready, sir.

Ready, sir!

As soon as that ship
is on the ground I want-

Badou: papi!
Cornelius: hello!

Babar:
oh wait! Look, jake!

Jake:
cornelius! Yay!

You three were very brave.

Actually, we were really
scared-

Huh? We were?

But we kept our heads
and didn't panic.

At least not much.

[Chuckles]

Most impressive,
professor.

Your vacuum will greatly
speed up the coconut harvest...

Now that it isn't harvesting
members of the royal family.

I can assure you
king babar,

Now that my modifications
are complete,

No one will ever again be-

Quibbles and quaaaaarks!

[Laughing]

Cornelius:
at your command,
your majesty.

Rescue party, ready?
Have at!

All:
charge! Arrrgh!



Who sends stork-post
anymore?

I don't know,
let's find out!

Look out! Agh!

Babar:
ah, children,

Looks like we're going
to have a guest.

Badou:
who, papi?

A very dear friend
of mine... Heropotamus!

[Gasps]

Badou:
that's tusk-tastic!
Yay! Hooray!

Jake:
I didn't know you
and heropotamus were friends,

Your majestiness.

Oh, we've been on a few
adventures together.

Did I ever mention
the time

He and I were marooned on
the island of flying eels?

Wow! Sweet!

Ms. Strich:
prince bahhh-douuu!

Badou:
ms. Strich -

Heropotamus is coming
to visit.

Ms. Strich:
[gasps] merveilleux!

He's such a rascal.
[Laughs, snorts]

But we can't let that
interrupt

Your princely schedule.

It's time for your royal
dance lesson.

Badou:
but papi was just going
to tell us

A heropotamus story!

Babar:
you'll hear plenty when
heropotamus gets here.

So there we were,
shipwrecked

With eels swarming
in from all sides!

Ms. Strich:
today, we study
the elephandango,

An ancient
and marvellous dance

Created by queen cleo
of the bigtusk tribe.

[Sighs]

♪ From the moon's
golden nest, ♪

♪ Point yourself
to the west, ♪

♪ Take a hop, a skip, ♪

♪ Then bow low ♪

♪ Take two steps
to the right, ♪

♪ Then jump
with all your might, ♪

♪ Leap out fast
as ever you can go! ♪

Isn't this kinda silly,
ms. Strich?

Silly!

Queen cleo's dance is a part
of elephant history.

As prince, it is your
duty to learn it.

Munroe:
hey, badou, finally!

C'mon, 'bu, c'mon!

We're making welcome
signs for heropotamus!

Thumpin'!

Cornelius:
excuse me, young master.

I have the rest of your
princely lesson schedule.

You have a royal
responsibility class,

Followed by a lecture...

[Cheering]

Hey, 'bu...
Wanna hold my sign?

No thanks, jake.

I'd have made my own

If I hadn't had all
those extra lessons.

[Chuckle]
you're a prince, badou.

That means extra
responsibilities

And extra privileges.

Badou:
I know, papi.

Hero, ho!

All kids:
wow! Huh! Awesome!

Heropotamus:
babar, ya long-trunked
scoundrel!

Heropotamus,
my good friend!

Welcome back
to celesteville.

Who are these pups?

Badou:
I'm badou, your hero-ness.

These are my friends,

Chiku, munroe, and jake.

You're babar's grandkid?

Ha!
I took you and your pals

For a band of cheetah-chasing
jungle jacks!

[Laughing]

Ho! Look at those signs!

Papi, what if I didn't
want to be a prince?

What if I wanted to be an
adventurer like heropotamus?

Heropotamus:
...then I grabbed the golden
boomerang

And jumped to the back
of my eagle friend!

But the baron sent his giant
bats after us!

Heropotamus!
A torch!

I swung the torch!
Hah! Hah!

Whooo-ho-ho!

And the bats flew away!

Hero, ho!

Bravo!
[Cheering and applause]

Oh, thanks, pup.
Quick thinking.

Maybe I could go with you
on your next adventure.

Babar:
badou is thinking of becoming
an adventurer.

Really, 'bu?
Really?

That'd be so cool!

Mom, dad, could i?

Heropotamus, are you planning
a new expedition?

Yes. For the cave that
holds... The moon stone.

Ah! "When moon and star
and sun meet stone,

Then shall the path
again be known."

The path?
The path to what?

The path to the gold
mines of gaxx.

[Gasps]

Get some sleep, pup.

We leave at first light.

[Cheering]

Moon stone, here we come!

Heropotamus:
slow it down, pup.

We've got a long trail
ahead of us.

Badou:
I could run like
this all day!

[Panting]

Heropotamus:
an adventurer learns
to pace himself.

Badou:
whoo-hoo...

Whaaaaa!
[Splash]

You're gonna get just
as wet wading across.

I might have, except
our trail goes thataway.

An adventurer learns
to look before he leaps.

[Deep inhale]

[Growling]

Whaaaaa!

Heropotamus:
hero, ho!

[Snarling]

[Loud roar]

Wow!

Let me guess!

An adventurer learns
to stick close?

Heropotamus, how long
have you been looking

For the gold mines of gaxx?

Long time.

Your ancestors built 'em,
you know.

Legends say that queen cleo
had her tribe

Digging for water and
they found gold instead.

Queen cleo?

I thought all she did
was invent silly dances.

♪ From the moon's
golden nest, ♪

♪ Point yourself to the west ♪

[Loud shriek in distance]
whaaaaa!

What is it?
The leopard?

Something bigger.

Don't worry, it probably
won't come near the fire.

[Yawns]
oof!

It's the old dancing
elephant herself.

This is the mark
of queen cleo.

We're on the right trail.

[Thunder rolls]

Heropotamus:
no cook fire tonight.
Too wet.

[Sighs]

Here. Mud root.

A little gritty,
but it'll fill you up.

Chewy.

Yeah, those are the worms.
Mm-mm.

[Stomach rumbles,
gags]

My mom said she stuck a loaf
of peanut bread in my pack-

An adventurer learns

It's okay to be
a little homesick.

[Laughs]

[Effort grunt]

Badou:
do you think the moon
stone is really in there?

Heropotamus:
there are queen
cleo's petroglyphs.

Badou:
wow!

Oh!
[Gasp]

Ah!

Head bonker traps.

Step lightly.

Hmm...

Badou:
heropotamus!
The moon stone!

Heropotamus:
no, pup! Wait!

[Creaking,
wheel cogs turning]

What was that?

More traps... And now
they're set to go off.

Badou:
I don't see anything.

Heropotamus:
it's been a long time.

Maybe they're broken-
whoooooa!

Oh, oh!

[Laugh]
thank you, pup!

If the whole way back
is booby-trapped,

How are we gonna get out?

Um...[Thinking]

There has to be a safe
path but-

Whoa!

Ho ho!

Old queen cleo was clever.

She'd let you dance
in without much trouble,

But she sure didn't
want you to leave.

Dance? From the moon's
golden nest!

Heropotamus,
which way is west?

That way.
What are ya on about?

Queen cleo's dance!

The elephandango!

We don't dance in:
we dance out!

♪ From the moon's
golden nest, ♪

♪ Point yourself
to the west, ♪

♪ Take a hop, a skip... ♪

Badou!

♪ Then bow low! ♪

It is the way out!

Heropotamus:
what next?

♪ Take two steps
to the right ♪

[Rumbling]
whaaaaa!

♪ Then jump with
all your might ♪

Whaaaa!

Heropotamus:
hero, ho!

Quick! What next?

♪ Leap out fast as you
ever can go-go-go! ♪

Oof!

Narrow escapes are a lot
more fun in stories

Than in real life!

Nits and gnats!

I left the moon stone back
in the cave!

[Exhales]
not to worry, pup.

Task-tastik!

Badou, good job
getting us outta there.

My prince lessons came in
kinda handy, didn't they?

Heropotamus:
hmm, an adventurer learns
to always keep learning.

Badou:
heropotamus,

I think I'd like
to be an adventurer

And a prince.

Why not? Your grandfather
is an adventurer

And a king.

Prince bahhh-douuuuu!
Oh my!

Babar:
ah, ms. Strich.

Heropotamus arrived safely
at the mooncastle mountains.

He's looking for queen
cleo's second clue -

The star.

How exciting!

I'm looking
for the prince.

It's time for proclamation
practice.

As king,
he'll need to know

How to hold an audience
spellbound.

[Chuckles]

And there we were,

Head bonkers swinging down

And trap doors opening up

And a cave-in starting!

I suppose we could skip
the lesson for today.

Hero, ho.
