No sign of her plane yet,
papi.
Don't worry, badou.
Avery always gets
the mail through.
The weather sure
isn't a problem.
According to my windicator,
We are no go on the blow.
No wind here!
No wind over here!
Badou:
[chuckles] hey!
And no wind here!
Chiku, you might be interested
in the package
Avery is flying in
for me.
It's a storm warn horn
That will let
celesteville know
If there's bad
weather on the way.
Coooool!
Almost as cool as what
I sent away for:
Signal lamps!
So we can flash blink code
messages to each other
On rescue missions.
That is... As soon as
I learn blink code.
What's blink code?
Babar:
each letter of the alphabet
Has its own pattern
of flashes
So you can send messages
without a radio or telephone.
Wow!
What'd you just signal?
"Tusk-tas-tic i-dea!"
[Laughing]
Avery:
yeeeeehaw!
[Laughing]
We're flying high-high-high!
Avery o'dare is still
the fly-est bird in the bush!
[Engine rattles]
Your right, wing-a-dinger,
It is time to get our cargo
of mail to celesteville...
After one more
loop de loop!
Yeeeeehaw!
Avery:
whoa! [Chuckle]
[Engine roars]
Whoooa!
[Skids to a halt]
[Chuckles]
[Laughing]
Badou:
hi avery!
Glad you finally got here!
Did you bring
my signal lamps?
If they came
in a yellow box
Addressed to somebody
named prince badou...
Yessiree, bob! I packed
that package right in here.
[gasp]
well, flatten my feathers!
Looks like ol' wing-a-dinger
sprung a letter leak!
All the mail is lost?
Oh no!
Now don't go tossing
your tail feathers.
You know the mail
carrier's code.
By plane or train
or old canoe,
The job's not done till
the mail gets through!
Don't worry, children.
Avery won't rest until
every letter
And package is delivered.
Ah, how about this old balloon
jockey help you spot them
From the air?
Can we come, too?
More passengers
use more fuel
And we might need every
drop of juice
To spot every dropped
letter.
That mail could be scattered
to big lake and back.
Probably best you
children stay here.
[Rotors b*at]
[Engine rumbles]
Badou:
you know, chiku...
If the mail is scattered
out by big lake,
We might be able
to help find it.
Maybe even find
my signal lamps!
Coooool!
Let's go on a mail hunt!
[Engine rumbles]
Babar:
nothing yet.
Avery:
I think I know
where it happened.
It was where I did this.
Babar:
whoa-ho-ho!
Hang on, your high, high,
highness!
Yeeeee-
Babar:
haaaaaw!
[Laughing]
That there patch of fluff-stuff
looks a bit rough.
It's coming in fast.
And straight
for celesteville!
Hey!
A letter!
From heropotomus to my papi!
This one's
for ms. Strich.
School supplies!
Badou:
wow!
It's a trail of mail!
And it's leading right
toward pirate lagoon!
[Rumbling in distance]
Sounds like a storm
might be rolling in.
If it rains all those important
letters will be ruined.
It's addressed to king-
whaaaaa!
robo-voice:
alert! Alert! There is
a severe storm approaching!
alert! Alert!
'Bu! It's your papi's
storm warn horn!
[Alarm sounds]
Chiku:
we'd better head back
and warn celesteville.
'Bu?
My package!
I found it! Look!
We'll come back
and get it later.
After the storm.
The storm might blow it
into the lake.
This'll only take
a second.
robo-voice:
alert! Alert!
severe storm approaching
fast.
alert! Alert!
'Bu, we gotta warn
the city!
[Groans]
Chiku:
hurry, 'bu! Let's get your
signal lamps and go!
Badou:
thumpin', huh?
We're in blacktrunk's
old lookout tower!
[rumbling]
Chiku:
that storm warn horn
wasn't kidding.
Those clouds are gonna
be here in a monkey minute!
Badou:
got it!
Whaaa!
Aghhhh!
Nits and gnats!
It won't budge!
We're trapped!
Now how are we gonna
warn celesteville?!
Two words.
Signal lamps!
[wind gusts]
Two more words.
Blink code?
Nits and gnats!
Which I haven't
learned yet.
[Thunder]
Sorry, your royal
co-pilot-ness,
But we're going to have
to turn around.
It's getting too bumpy!
Babar:
yes, we need to head back
and warn everyone.
C'mon you ol' bucket
o' bolts.
You can get us back
to celesteville.
I hope.
[Engine rumbles]
Looks like the storm's
almost here.
Sorry, chiku.
If we'd turned back
when you said to,
We could've warned
celesteville.
Hey!
Maybe we still can!
"Big storm coming.
Danger. Take cover."
And the folks back home
Are gonna read
this message how?
Airmail!
Coooool! I love making
paper airplanes!
Badou:
up, up and all the way
to celesteville!
[Thunder]
badou: uh-oh...
Cornelius:
ah, the blimpfield confirms
That the king left
on a flight
With avery o'dare.
There's been no further
word from them.
Avery and babar are
both excellent pilots.
Ms. Strich:
excusez-moi,
But has your highness
seen prince badou?
It's time for, en garde!
His art lesson.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Oh dear!
"Big storm coming.
Danger. Take cover."
And it's signed
by badou.
A storm?
But the sky is so blue.
Cornelius, have the royal
guard spread the word
To the townsfolk!
Prepare for dangerous
weather!
[Bells rings]
[Thunder]
This storm's getting
too rough.
We have to land,
but I can't see anything.
Badou:
that sounds like
wing-a-dinger!
Chiku:
they're circling.
They must be looking
for a place to land.
The beach would
be perfect,
But I can't signal
them from here.
They might crash
into the tower!
We have to get down
to the beach.
Chiku,
time for a treetop hop!
Huh?
If we time it just right...
[Gasp] gotcha!
Now, 'bu!
Whooooo!
Hurry, 'bu!
Before the wind dies!
Aghhh!
[Gasp] whoa!
Whaaaaa! Oof.
Nice catch!
Chiku:
[giggles] wheeeee!
[Wind gusts]
We can't wait any longer,
your highness.
You must take shelter.
[Plane sputters]
We're out of gas!
Wait! There!
Did you see that?
Blink code!
Blink code?
What did it say?
"Tusk-tastic idea!"
[Gasp] avery,
Glide down
toward those flashes!
[Thunder]
[Wind gusts]
There they are!
[Skid to a halt]
Papi! Avery!
You made it!
[Chuckles]
Avery:
thanks to one very
flashy ground crew.
[Thunder]
Babar:
but what are you children
doing out here?
And in this weather?
Um... It's kind of
a long story.
robo-voice:
alert! Alert!
Chiku:
[giggles]
Avery:
whoa-ho!
Babar:
my storm warn horn.
Thank you, chiku!
Robo-voice:
alert! Alert!
Storm conditions
may last several hours.
Babar:
sounds like we have plenty
of time
To hear your story,
badou.
Well, chiku and I thought
we should check
By big lake for some
of the lost letters,
And then we found
this mail trail and...
[Rain patters]
[Thunder]
[Engine roars]
Sayonara!
Yeee-haaaw!
Cornelius:
celesteville appears to have
weathered the storm,
Great heart.
Thanks to prince badou's
early warning system.
Badou:
it's no storm warn horn
But I'm sure glad it worked.
Now if we all pitch in,
We'll have the place
shipshape in no time.
Uh, we'll be back to help,
nana.
Chiku and I promised avery
we'd do something first.
And I think
I know what that is.
[Giggling]
We don't have a plane
or a train or an old canoe.
But I got a thumpin' way
to get the mail through!
[Wheels rattle]
Badou:
mail call!
Chiku:
you've got mail!
[Giggles]
♪♪
Mmm! These banana popadops
are thumpin'!
Monkeyville's finest!
So what do you guys want
to do while you're here?
Munroe:
have more banana popadops!
[Slurps]
Oooh! Oooh!
Ice cream headache!
[Laughing]
Quinzee:
yeeeooow!
Munroe:
oh! Sorry!
Quinzee:
forget about it,
pincushion.
Everyone seems clumsy
next to me.
Badou, munroe, zawadi...
This is quinzee.
Quinzee:
my fans call me
quinzee the great.
Oof!
Crowd:
[cheers]
Hmph!
Nice to meet you,
quinzee.
Why don't you have
a popadop of your own?
My treat!
I understand. You want to spend
time with the quinz.
But I've got places to be.
The quinz is always
in demand.
[Chuckles]
The quinz is thrillin'
for a quillin'.
Forget that show off.
I've got something cool
to show you guys.
It's even better
than banana popadops!
Welcome to monkeyville
stadium.
All:
wow!
badou:
tusktastic!
but how are you supposed
to play
with all these posts
in the way?
Babar:
you don't play jumpball
down there!
You play it up here!
Whoooooa! Thumpin'!
Whao!
Agh!
General huc:
yeah! One nothing!
[Chuckle]
you're losing your zip,
old friend!
Chiku:
in jumpball, the first team
to sink three baskets, wins.
Usually you play jumpball
with teams of three,
But there's nothing
like a little one-on-one
with players as good as my
grandpopper and king babar!
[Jumping effort grunts]
Whoo hoo!
Next point wins!
[Jumping effort grunts]
[Trumpets]
[Gasp]
All:
whoa!
Excellent game,
general huc!
You almost had me
with that trunk twist!
[Laughs]
Badou:
I'm sorry you lost, papi.
Babar:
badou, there's nothing
wrong with losing
As long as you play
your best and have fun!
Now, general,
let's cool off
With one of those banana
popadops
I keep hearing about.
So who wants to learn
how to play jumpball?
All:
meeeee!
Chiku:
are you ready guys?
[Cheering]
[Blows whistle]
Aghh!
Zawadi:
aaaahhh!
Does it have to be
so high up?
Zebras like to keep
their feet on the ground!
Munroe:
make way for
the quillinator!
Ooof!
Uh-oh.
Chiku:
[giggles]
Check out my spinnerama
move!
I can pass to whoever
is open.
Think fast, 'bu!
Agh!
Whoo hoo!
You guys are pretty good!
quinzee:
hah!
Pretty good isn't great.
Like me.
Chiku:
hey, lay off, quinzee.
Quinzee:
if you really want
to know how good you aren't,
You'd play my team.
There's no need for-
Of course you're probably
afraid of losing,
Like I heard
king babar did.
Quinzee, you just messed
with the wrong elephant.
We accept your challenge!
Badou!
Don't be a swing-a-ling.
Quinzee's team
is really good.
I know, 'cuz-
Quinzee:
too late!
The game's on.
Tomorrow morning!
You're outta your league,
thump-foot.
See you on the court,
chiku!
Agh!
[Chuckles]
We'll show that monkey
motormouth
How to play jumpball,
right badou?
Uh, guys. There's something
you should know-
There sure is.
like how good
that team is!
Umm...
It's okay guys.
We have chiku!
Yeah. About that, bu-
Chiku! You gonna
practise or what?
Chiku, you're on
the monkeyville team?
That's what I've been
trying to tell you.
Sorry guys.
Nits and gnats, chiku.
Why didn't you tell us you play
on the monkeyville team?
You didn't give me
a chance!
What did you expect?
I am a monkey.
She's got a point.
Then I guess you've picked
whose side you're on.
C'mon, guys.
Chiku:
does this mean
we can't be friends?
[Sighs]
[Slurps]
Babar:
that's a long trunk
For such a beautiful
evening, badou.
We've got a big jumpball
game tomorrow, papi,
And I just found out chiku's
gonna be playing
For the monkeyville team.
I see. I guess that makes
chiku the enemy.
badou:
no she's not!
No matter what munroe says.
Maybe I should have listened
to her.
She tried to tell me
Not to take quinzee's
challenge.
It's just...
We can't win without her.
I see.
Nothing left to do then
but not show up for the game.
Not show up?
We can't do that, papi!
You're the one who taught me
never to give up.
Babar:
you know best, badou.
Whatever happens
I'll be very proud of you.
Chiku:
it's just for one game,
quinzee.
I'll still be on the court,
Just as a referee
instead of a player.
Right. So you can give
celesteville
An unfair advantage.
Hey, you know me!
I'll ref fair and square!
Fine!
Go ahead.
I'm the quinz.
I'll win without you.
Badou:
quinzee's right, chiku.
You can't let
your team down.
But if I play for my team,
I lose my friends.
I don't know
what to do, bu.
We'll always be friends,
chiku.
Even if we have to play
against each other.
Thanks, 'bu!
Good luck tomorrow!
We're gonna get so creamed.
Crowd:
[cheers]
zawadi:
wow! No pressure here.
We can take 'em.
[Chuckles]
Crowd:
[cheers]
Badou, munroe, zawadi:
hey!
Yay!
[Wild cheering]
Remember,
play to win, win, win!
Just like the monkeyville
team.
Munroe: all right!
Zawadi: whoo!
[Claps]
General huc:
first team to score
three points, wins.
Remember, you get a penalty
if you touch the floor!
See that ball?
That's as close as
you're gonna get to it
This whole game.
[Whistle blows]
badou: hmph!
general huc:
play fair! Game on!
Crowd:
[cheering] hooray!
Hope you like
my triple flip move
Cause you're gonna
see it again and again!
[Laughs]
general huc:
[blows whistle] game on!
Badou:
zawadi!
I'm on in it...
Whaa! Munroe!
Ha!
Oof!
[Gasps]
Munroe:
hey!
Quinzee:
how about a game of elephant
in-the-middle, badou?
We're supposed to be playing
jumpball, quinzee!
Why don't you guys
just give up?
Unless losing
is your idea of fun.
Quinzee,
that's a tusk-tastic idea!
Time out!
[Blows whistle]
I hate to say it
but quinzee is right.
We have to stop worrying
about winning.
I must have bananas
in my ears.
I thought you said
quinzee is right.
Not about giving up.
What we have to do
is stop worrying
About whether we win
or lose.
It doesn't matter
as long as we have fun
And play our best.
are you with me?
zawadi:
we're with ya, bu!
munroe:
yes sir, captain prince
coach, sir!
general huc:
[blows whistle]
game on!
You giving up?
Nope. Just letting zawadi
get up to zebra speed!
Hey!
[Chuckle]
nice move, pincushion!
[Trumpets]
[Cheering]
Munroe:
battle rattle!
All:
whoo-hoo! Yay!
Beginners luck.
[Laughing]
[Whistle blows]
[crowd cheers]
Agh!
Munroe:
quillinator
coming through!
Aaaahhh!
Aghhh!
[Trumpets]
[cheering]
general huc:
tie game!
One more point
and we'll have a winner!
Quinzee:
that does it.
Time for another
triple flip move.
They're not gonna fall
for that again.
I'm the team captain,
chiku.
We do as I say.
General huc:
[blows whistle]
game on!
Zawadi! It's the triple
flip again!
Woo hoo!
Zawadi:
[giggles]
Got anything new?
Quinzee:
aahh!
[Grunts]
[Cheering]
Whoa!
Hee hee.
[Trumpets]
[Gasps]
Yes!
Uh-oh!
Ah!
general huc:
monkeyville wins!
[Cheering]
hooray!
We may have lost,
But that was a tusktastic
game!
It sure was!
Munroe:
congratulations, chiku!
That was an amazing
last sh*t.
Quinzee:
you guys are good.
I can't wait
for our next game.
Babar:
well done, badou.
I'm very proud.
Badou:
it's just like you said,
papi:
There's nothing wrong
with losing
As long as you play
your best and have fun!
Good lad.
Now who's up for a banana
popadop?
My treat!
All:
yesssss!
