Back off, zombie moles!

The great kicker
pearl is ours!

Have at!

Hah! Ho!

Ahh! Whoa!

Oof!

Chiku:
duh-duh-da!
Blimpliner captain chiku-

Jake:
and first mate jake!

Chiku:
to the rescue!

Jake, catch!

In your snout,
zombie moles!

Jake:
yay, badou!

Chiku:
whoo-hoo!

Nice rescue, chiku!

[Giggles]

Just practicing for when
I get a real blimpliner!

Hey, maybe for my next
birthday?

That'd be coooool!

Wouldn't that be cool, 'bu?

What would you want?

Hmmm... I know!

A treasure map to
the gold mines of gaxx!

Good choice!
What about you, jake?

What would your bestest
birthday present be?

Chiku!

Oh! Sorry, jake.
Sorry.

That's okay.

I don't know
when my birthday is

'Cuz nobody's around from then
who could tell me.

Isn't cornelius trying
to find out?

He's trying to find out
everything about me.

If he found out
when your birthday was,

I'm sure he'd
have told you.

Unless he just found out!

We should go check!

Cornelius:
forward... March!

[Marching thud]

[Laughing]

About face!

What can we do for you,
"general" jake?

Cornelius, have you found out
when my birthday is?

I'm sorry, my boy,
not yet.

I'm still on the search!

Babar:
in the year since he started
taking care of you, jake,

Cornelius has spent
all his free time

Hunting for clues
to your past.

Can we see
what you've found?

Oof!

[Chuckle]
fresh eyes certainly
wouldn't hurt.

As you know, jake,

This is everything I've been
able to discover about you...

So far.

Jake:
these are the clothes
I was wearing

When we first met, 'bu.

Look! My old scarf!

Your other shoe was missing,

But soil samples
taken from this one

Place west of the old
snake trail.

Babar:
that's the deep jungle.

A very dangerous place
for a little fox.

And here are all
the possible routes

You could have taken
from there to celesteville.

I've walked them all,

But no one I spoke with
knew anything about you.

Or about when
my birthday is?

I'm sorry, jake.

Until we find your parents
or someone else who knew you,

We can't say.

[Sighs]

Badou:
papi, as king,
you get to name holidays, right?

Can't you give jake
a birthday?

Babar:
I'm afraid not, badou.

The only person who can choose
such an important day is...

Jake himself!

Me? Stinkies!

Can I get some help,
your majestiness?

Babar:
of course!

I often have someone I trust
advise me

When making
an important decision.

I pick badou and chiku!

Badou and chiku:
thumpin'! Coooool!

Jake:
c'mon, guys!

Let's go pick me
a birthday!

Chiku:
jake, I think you should pick
tomorrow as your birthday.

Why wait for a party?
Why wait?

I think you should make it
a week from now.

Give everyone time
to get you presents!

I wanna pick
a really special day.

Maybe like the day
I first got to celesteville.

Badou:
that's a tusk-tastic idea!

Except...

I kinda don't remember
what day that was.

What do you remember?

Not much.

I remember...

Snoring and, uh-

Hey!
I remember being wet, too!

I hate being wet!

If you remember being wet...

You must have come
to celesteville

During the rains!

That's probably why
your old clothes are muddy.

Muddy and chocolatey!

Chocolatey?

Yeppers. I smell chocolate
on my scarf.

It's mixed up
with the dirt.

Nobody knew that!

Banana and mustard-flavoured
chocolate, actually!

There's only one person

Who makes banana
and mustard chocolate!

The candy cook
in the bazaar!

Candy cook:
'course I remember
the first time I saw you,

Sugar snout!

You'd been hanging around
the bazaar

For a couple of days

At the end of the big monsoon.

Do you remember
the exact day?

Sorry, no.

I caught you
trying to swipe

One of my banana and mustard
chippy-chunk chocolate cookies!

I tried to steal
a cookie?

I don't remember that!
I'm sorry!

Oh, you only did it
because you were hungry.

That's why I gave you
a whole tray of 'em!

Can I do something
to make it up?

Well...
I have to finish this

For the queen's tea party.

You could help me
ice the cake!

[Blender whirs]

Whoo-hoo!

[Laughing]

Just wish I could tell you

Exactly when you first got
to celesteville, sugar snout.

I know you hadn't been here long
when we met;

You were still covered
in barnacle burrs.

Jake:
barnacle burrs?

Candy cook:
oh sure!
I had to pick you clean.

Barnacle burrs only grow
in a couple of places

On the great grass sea,
right?

Right, 'bu?

Yep. I know exactly
where to find them!

Jake:
maybe somebody out there
saw me!

Maybe they know the exact day
I left

And came to celesteville!

C'mon!

All kids:
bye! Thanks! See ya!

[Laughs]

So, jake, maybe you came from
the deep jungle to the savanna

Before you came to celesteville.

[Sniffs]

You know, I kinda remember
this place.

I remember rain drumming
on those rocks and...

And that snoring
I told you about!

Take a look around.

See if you remember
anything else.

Jake:
hey, that looks familiar!

Agh!

Chiku:
'bu! Take a look at this!

Badou:
a lion.

[Loud roar]

Hahna:
look at that, ramsi.
Tame towners.

Under our favourite
shade tree.

[Snarling]

[gasps]

Let's show 'em
how we deal with trespassers.

Chiku:
run 'bu! Run!

Go, 'bu! Go!

Whaaaaa!

Hah!

Ho! Have at!

[Pained roar]

My missing shoe!

Hey!
There's that snoring!

[Gasp]
that's not snoring!

[Roaring]

[Grunts]

Jake:
leave my friends alone!

[Gasps]
jaaaaayyyke!

Skyla! Ramsi!
Our jake is back!

All:
oh jake! [Laughing]

Badou:
so... Uh, you know jake?

Of course we know jake!

Though he was a lot smaller
when we first found him!

A whole year smaller!

Don't you remember us,
jake?

[Sniffing]

I remember...

You used to bring me
jakalberries to eat.

And you gave me
kitty-back rides!

Ramsi and skyla...

And hahna.

You found me first.

You'd been washed
out of the jungle

During the big monsoon,

Poor thing.

Do you... Do you know
where I came from before that?

Do you maybe know
who my parents are?

Sorry, honey, no.

We took you in,

But the flood got worse

And you got flushed
out of our den.

We've been looking for you
ever since.

Ramsi:
and now you say you live
in a palace!

With a prince!

Chiku:
we're trying to find out
the exact day

Jake arrived
in celesteville.

That day is gonna be
my birthday!

It's probably the same day
he got lost.

Do you know what day
that was?

Don't be sad, jake.

Not when we're so happy
to see you again!

Skyla:
yeah, let's play a game.

You remember liombo,
don't ya, jake?

Jake:
uh-huh!

Go play.
You're jake's friends.

You're welcome.

[Giggles]

Whoa!

[Laughing]

Badou:
I know we don't have a birthday
for you yet,

But tomorrow
we'll start fresh.

We'll find out the exact day
you arrived in celesteville,

Don't you worry!

Thanks 'bu, but...

I did pick a birthday,
actually!

You did?

What day, jake?
What day didja pick?

Today!

Chiku:
wait a monkey minute!

Today's almost over!

You'll have to wait
a whole 'nother year

For presents and treats!

But I already got it all.

I led the royal guards
in a parade

And made a cake
with the candy cook.

I found my long lost friends,
the lions.

Plus I did it all
with you guys.

A birthday's
just another day

Unless you spend it
with your bestest pals ever!

I guess it was
a pretty tusk-tastic day.

Nits and gnats!

I totally forgot
we have...

Uh... A dance class tonight!

Right, chiku?

Sure... Class!

Uh, sorry, jake,
gotta go!

Jake:
smell you later, guys!

Cornelius!
Guess what?

I picked a birthday!
It's today!

Prince badou mentioned
you'd had a very exciting time.

Some of the things
you discovered

Will help me in my search
for your parents.

You know, I'd really like
to find them some day...

So they can meet
the rest of my family.

Well... My boy...

Let's go tell king babar
you've chosen a day.

All:
surprise!

You guys did all this?

Badou:
it wouldn't be a birthday
without a birthday party, jake!

Where is the king?

Babar:
here!

I made a quick balloon trip
to pick up a few guests!

[Unsteady moans]

Wow! Just when
I thought this day

Couldn't get
any more better.

Candy cook:
it goes and it does,
sugar snout!

Babar:
everyone gather 'round!

One... Two... Three!

All:
happy birthday, jake!

[Jake laughs]

Royal guard:
heave! Ho! Heeeeeave!

Fine work, captain.

Thank you, your majesty.

Munroe:
heave! Ho! Heeeeeave!

Fine work,
mini major munroe!

Good of you to help out,
munroe.

Thank you,

Your royal kingly
majestiness, sir.

Who would do this,
papi?

Who'd block off
the old snake trail?

Babar:
it's an old bandit trick,
badou.

The merchants who use the trail
stop to clear the barricade.

While they're distracted,

The bandit sneaks out
and steals their cart.

That won't happen
with the royal guard on duty!

[Battle yell]

You almost look like
one of them, munroe.

I wish I was old enough
to join.

Babar:
important things
often take time, munroe.

[Whirring]

I asked professor wozikiwak
to lend us a hoof.

[Mechanical whirring]

[Whooshing]

Munroe:
wow!

The professor's
vacuum harvester

Can lift anything!

Almost anything.

The blimplab won't fly

If it lifts something
too heavy.

[Grunts]

Boys,
are you all right?

[Grunts of effort]

Wow!
Did you see that?

He did this!
And then this!

Then he did... Wow!
That was crazy cool!

Not crazy at all,
munroe.

Swift thinking
and selfless action

Are hallmarks
of the royal guard.

Thank you, captain!

All in a day's work,
your majesty.

Babar:
captain, let's provide
an escort

To any merchants
using the trail.

An unprotected cart
might be a tempting target.

Badou:
don't ya just love coconut jam
and banana sandwiches?

What I'd love is
to join the royal guard!

I bet they'd
let you join

If you did something
big and brave!

Like what?

I don't know.

Like capture
the barricade bandit.

That's a great idea!

I could track him down
and... Hiii-yah! Hi-yah!

Capturing him
might be too dangerous.

But all bandits
have a hideout

Where they stash
their loot, right?

What if you could show
the guard where it is?

How do I do that?

I have a tusk-tastic plan.

Royal guard:
finished here, sire.

Excellent, captain.

Let's make a sweep
of the trail and jungle.

Royal guard:
yes, your majesty.

I feel weird hiding
from your papi.

It's the only way
the plan works.

Munroe:
you know, 'bu,

I still think we should
just capture the bandit.

I could take him down
with a jaguar jump!

Badou:
oh no! Our path is blocked!

Who could do such
a terrible thing?

Heave!

Ho!

[Grunts of effort]

[Cart rattles away]

♪♪

Thumpin'! It worked!

Now we can follow the track
right to the bandit's hideout.

Munroe:
all right, let's get 'im!

Munroe, we're not gonna
"get 'im."

We're not even gonna
get too close.

But you said it yourself, 'bu.

I have to do something
big and brave.

When we spot the bandit's
hideout,

You call in the guards.

Catching him
is their job.

Well, let's go!

Royal guard:
looks clear, your highness.

Capital!
Let's make a sweep

Down the other end
of the trail.

We're losing the trail!

The jam must have
leaked out.

[Gasps]

We're a'hearing things,
sly.

Prospero is
the barricade bandit!

We gotta find the patrol.

No way! We need to find
his hideout, 'bu!

That old bush pirate's
way too dangerous!

Munroe:
he's got a boat!

The guards won't be
able to track that.

I'm not gonna lose him,
'bu!

♪♪

Oh no, munroe!

Prospero:
[grunts of effort]

Oh, it's heavy, sly.

Must be jammed full
to the top... With jam!

[Laughs]

Badou:
nits and gnats, munroe!

Babar:
well, our bandit has been busy.

Captain:
sir!

[Sniffs]

Hmm. Coconut jam.
This way.

♪♪

[Grunts of effort]

[Tree cracks]

Oof!

Babar:
follow me.

What manner o'mischief
is this?

The royal guard!

It's an ambush!

Ogh!

Oh no!

Babar:
boot prints.

Going off that way.

Alert the other patrols.

We have our bandit
on the run!

[Trumpeting]

[Trumpeting]

Huh?

Guards! Over here!
He went this way!

Someone's already chasing
our bandit, your highness.

Yes, and I think
I know who.

Badou:
guards! He's here!

I was right.
That's badou!

This way!

[Jumping grunt]

Whoa!

[Trumpeting]

Agh!

[Trumpeting getting closer]

Agh!

Here's our ticket out, sly.

[Control panel beeps]

[Gasps]

[Powering on,
whirring]

He's stealing the blimplab!

Prospero is stealing
the blimplab!

Whoa!

Babar:
he's heading for big lake!

Badou:
papi! Over here!

Prospero has munroe!

Babar:
we'll track him as long
as we can!

Get those other blimpliners
fired up and follow us!

Yes, sir!

♪♪

[Whooshing]

Babar:
safety's first!

We'll bring these
back later.

[Panicked]
uh? Ahhh!

Papi, it's vacuuming up
the lake!

Babar:
all that water
will slow it down!

Arrrrgh!

[Gasps]

We're taking on water, sly!

Time to abandon this bird!

Rrr.

This'll put a hole
in their day!

Whoa! Oof!

Eh? Where did you come from,
boyo?

And what did you do
with all my jam?

Babar:
ahoy in the blimplab!

Heave to
and prepare to be boarded!

I don't think so!

Baaattle raaattle!

Ooh! [Splash]

Grrr.

Over there, papi!

Prospero's trying
to swim away!

We have to let him go,
badou.

It's more important
that we stick with munroe

Until more help arrives.

Babar:
...and, as punishment
for your reckless behaviour,

You will help the professor
repair her blimplab.

What were the two of you
thinking?

Sorry, papi.

I thought munroe would be
able to join the guards

If he did something big
and brave.

And I was only thinking of how
I could get what I wanted.

A real royal guard

Wouldn't be selfish
like that.

There are no shortcuts

To the really important things,
munroe.

That's why I'm afraid

You're going to have to spend
even longer in training.

When you finish
at the blimpfield,

Report to the captain...

For junior cadet coaching.

Junior cadet?

A new branch
of the royal guard.

It was the king's idea.

If you want to be
a guard,

You'll have to correct
some bad habits.

Although, today,
you mastered a difficult one:

You learned to admit
when you've made a mistake.

I promise to be
the best junior cadet ever!

One day, 'bu,

I'm gonna be
the captain of your royal guard.

Badou:
munroe, I know you will.
