Babar:
so there we were...

Racing out of tumblerock tower,

When out of nowhere,

A ferocious tower troll
appeared!

Heropotamus:
his eyes were fiery red,

And his teeth were
as long as bananas!

[Chuckles]
[roars]

[Jake giggles]

How did you get away,
papi?

What would you have done,
badou?

I'd grab a big rock
and tumble it right at them!

[Chuckles]

That's exactly
what your papi did!

Smart thinking, 'bu!
Grrrrr!

Heropotamus:
your papi whirled a boulder
round and round

And slung it
at the trolls!

Badou:
[laughs] oof!

Whaaaaa!

Badou?!

Heropotamus:
[laughs] that pups always
finding hidden tunnels.

[Rumbles open]

Jake:
uh, 'bu?

Hey, badou!

What is this place,
your majesty?

This is where
we kept treasures

Recovered from
blacktrunk the pirate

Until we could return them
to their rightful owners.

Boo!

whaaaaa!

Whaaaaa!

Oof!

Whoa! Thumpin'!

Babar:
hmm. That horn must have
been overlooked

When the other treasures
were returned.

[Muffled trumpeting]

Who does it belong to?

Heropotamus:
the spider queen.

I once heard a story
about blacktrunk

Sneaking into her cave

And making off
with her greatest treasure:

A jewelled horn.

Wow!

Heropotamus:
they say the spider queen
has been prowling the jungle,

Looking for it
ever since!

[Whimpers]

Papi, I have a tusk-tastic idea!

I'll bring the horn
back to her.

Stinkies!
I'd be too scared.

But you can't go alone,
'bu!

Babar:
perhaps you'd allow
a couple of battered,

Old adventurers
to tag along.

What do you say,
my friend?

Ha! It'll be like
old times.

This is gonna be
the best adventure ever!

[Birds chirp]

Babar:
badou, don't get too far ahead!

Whoa!

Oh no!

Wait! Stop!
There's sinky sands ahead!

Good job, pup!

Babar:
hmm... No telling
how far they extend.

Looks solid on
the other side...

If we can get across.

I've got a tusk-tastic idea!

First we get a long
piece of vine...

Ungh!

Then we tie it
to a coconut.

Then we fire the coconut
across the sands.

Ungh!

Now we can tightrope-walk
right across!

Babar:
very inventive, badou,

But we're a lot heavier
than you.

I'm not sure the vine
would hold us.

Oh. I didn't think
of that.

You know what this
reminds me of, babar?

Hmm. The time we crossed
the lava pools

Of vulture volcano.

Ah-ha! [Whistles]

[Struggling grunts]

[Gasps]

[Grunts of effort]

There you go, pup.

A nice, safe bridge
across the sands.

Badou:
look, papi!
Aren't those pretty?

Recognize these?

Hmph!
Dazzle-thump seeds.

They're pretty all right,
pup...

Until they get big.

Babar:
badou, watch out for plants
with big lumpy blossoms.

Badou:
like these?

Aaggghhh! Oof!

[Chuckles]

Whoa!

Heropotamus:
hmm. They're all over.

But the jungle looks
clear ahead...

If we can just get past
this big fella.

[Gasps]

We can use shields,
just like a real knight!

Charrrrrge!

Badou:
aggghhhh!

[Hard thump]

Um... Maybe we need
another plan.

Or maybe just...
A stick!

What are those for,
papi?

Just pay attention

And keep your wits
about you.

Agh! Hey! Whoa!

Wow!

Babar:
come on, badou!

Heropotamus:
just like pushing back
the snow snakes

Of the mooncastle mountains!

[Chuckles]

Badou, perhaps it
would be better

If you walked between us
from now on.

Just to be safe.

Babar and heropotamus:
♪ from the island
to the jungle ♪

♪ From the canyon
to the sea ♪

♪ Ears a-flappin',
swash-a-bucklin' ♪

♪ Ahhhhhd-venturers are we! ♪

[Laughing]

[Stretching grunt]

I'll take the first watch.

You never know
if the spider queen

Might be out prowling
for her lost treasure.

Can I keep watch too?

No, you get some sleep, pup.

Tomorrow's gonna be
a busy day.

Why so quiet tonight,
badou?

I'm never going to be
as good an adventurer

As you and heropotamus.

He and I have been through
a lot together.

Lots of adventures,

[Chuckles]
lots of mistakes.

But you two
never make mistakes!

You built a log bridge

To get out
of vulture volcano!

Yes, badou...
And the lava set it on fire.

But you used sticks
to push back the snow snakes.

Heropotamus:
and they used their tails

To knock our feet out
from under us.

Boom!

How do you think we've become
such good adventurers, badou?

By making mistakes;

By learning what works
and what doesn't,

Just as you're doing now.

I am?

You'll see.

Now, what did heropotamus
tell you?

To get some sleep.

Good lad.

Heropotamus:
this is it all right.

The spider queen's cave!

Badou:
whoa! Hey!

Hello?! Your majesty?!

We have something
of yours!

Nobody's home.

Should we leave
the horn here?

We don't want someone coming by
and taking it again.

Let's push on
a little deeper.

Just watch for webs.

Heropotamus:
hmm... Does this remind you
of anything, babar?

The time we explored
the calamity caverns- whoop!

Hmm...

We've run into one
of the queen's webs!

Amazing!

It's so pale
it's almost invisible.

I can barely see it
even in the light.

Papi, look!

Gold and jewels!

That must be the spider queen's
treasure chamber.

That's where her
jewelled horn belongs.

The web seems to block
the whole tunnel.

If we can't see it,
we can't get past it.

I've got an idea!
Don't go anywhere!

[Chuckles]

[Grunts]

Watch this.

[Blows]

Babar:
well done, badou!

There's a gap!

Nah.
It's too small.

Not for me.
Please, papi!

The queen's not home

Or she would have
heard us by now.

You can watch me
all the way.

Ha! He's a chip off
the old tusk.

All right, badou.

Swiftly there
and swiftly back.

Oh!

[Hissing]

Did you hear that?

Whooaaooaaoooaa!

Nits and gnats!

[Rocks crumble and slide]

Hmm...

A sinky sands bridge!

[Log splits and crashes down]

Oh no!

Badou, I think you should
come back.

Spider queen:
whaaaaa!

Babar and heropotamus:
aaaggggghhhhhh!

Spider queen:
thieves! Thieves in my cave!

Thieves come back to steal
the rest of my treasure!

On the contrary,
madam.

We've come to return
something to you.

Badou, hurry back now.

What did you say?

Agghhh!

Babar:
badou, the queen is here.

Come back with her horn.

Sorry, papi!
I kinda...can't.

Thumpin'!
That's it!

[Grunts of effort]

Babar:
your grace, I can assure you
that we are not-

Spider queen:
thieves!

Babar:
badou, get back here!

The queen is coming!

Heropotamus:
she thinks you're robbing her
treasure!

Badou:
I have to prove
we're not!

[Grunts of effort]

Spider queen:
thiiiiiieves!

Agghhhh! Whoa! Oof!

[Grunts]

Spider queen:
thieves!

Badou:
[gasps] no! No!
We're not thieves!

[Hissing]

Look what I'm bringing back!

[Gasps] my horn!
My beautiful horn!

Yes! Your beautiful...
Um, slightly creepy horn!

What did you say?

We... We... We were
just returning your horn!

Wait!

Oh, that's better!

At long last
I can hear again!

Now...
What did you say?

We were just returning
your horn,

Your majesty.

[Clears throat]
not thieves at all then!

I suppose I owe you
my thanks.

How would you
and your friends

Like a nice cup
of mudroot tea?

[Sighs]
that would be great.

Thank you.

Babar:
well, that was a pretty
grand adventure,

Wouldn't you say, badou?

Badou:
it sure was, papi.

I can't wait to tell jake!

Heropotamus:

[Laughing]

Munroe! Andi!

There they are!

Andi:
that's cool,
badou-doodlie-dude.

And who's "they" again?

[Mouth full]
a bunch of royals
are coming.

It's the council
of crowns!

My papi called
a special meeting!

Oh, yeah.

I heard everybody's
sweetberry crops

Are running low.

Mmm.
'Cept yours, andi.

Yeah. We got lots
of sweetberries here

On the savanna.

Badou:
check it out!
The royal rhino liner!

And that's general huc,

All the way
from monkeyville!

Ho ho ho!
Whose stylin' ride is that?

Badou:
the boss of the slogs!

Everyone's flying in
for this meeting.

Hey, andi,
how come you're not coming?

You're a king too;

King of the savanna.

Andi:
yeah? Nobody asked.

Ah, it's probably
just for tame towners.

Munroe:
come on, 'bu!

Let's go watch
the royal procession!

Andi:
[chuckles] all right.
Later, peeps.

[Trumpet fanfare plays]

[Drumming]

[Whistles]

[Horns, drums and cymbals play,
clashing with the trumpets]

[Trumpets]

Welcome all
to this council of crowns.

We're here to find a way
to save our sweetberry crops

From the bandit birds.

If those birds eat
all the sweetberries,

A lot of my monkeys
will go hungry.

Lord rataxes:
so will my little
cactus pudding!

They've gobbled up
her private orchard!

And swiped every sweetberry
in the slogs!

Babar:
celesteville, too.

Which means we'll all
have to work together

To find a solution.

Badou:
papi, there's plenty of
sweetberries on the savanna!

[Gasps]

Ah! It's been half
a horn's age

Since I've had a yummy,
juicy sweetberry!

[Bird chirps]

Bandit bird!

The beaked beast
is after my berries!

Agghhh!
Whoooaaahhh!

I'll save you,
my little spink seedling!

Agghhh! Oof!

Babar:
lady rataxes,
perhaps you should

Just give the bird
the berries!

Whaaa!

[Splash]

[Gasps]

Oof!

Aghhh!

Lady rataxes:
king babar, I'm sure you have
something to say

To your impertinent grandson.

Indeed.

Badou, thank you...

For saving lady rataxes
from a nasty pecking.

Perhaps we should
all move indoors.

Hmph!

Wonder why we didn't see
any bandit birds

Out in the savanna?

I don't know.

I just hope the council

Will have some
tusk-tastic ideas

To get rid of 'em.

Lady rataxes:
we rhinos propose
to scare these flying fiends

From the air!

We'll chase them back
beyond the mooncastle mountains!

Ratty?!

Agghhh!

And what're the birds
supposed to do?

Laugh themselves silly?

My croco-clever idea

Is to cover sweetberry bushes
with stickertree sap.

So when those
berry-stealers land,

They'll get stuck!

Lady rataxes:
ridiculous!
It'll never work.

Let me see that!

Oh! Let go!

I can't!

Oof!

Whoaaa!

Papi, how come andi isn't on
the council of crowns?

He's a king too.

And his ideas
have got to be

Better than these.

Agh! [Struggles]

Quite possibly.

I can invite andi
to join the council,

But he then has to be
voted in

By at least three
of the four members.

Doesn't anyone here
have a sensible solution?

Um, bandit birds aren't
stealing sweetberries

In the savanna.

I bet andi could
tell us why.

That scruffy cat?
Ridiculous!

What can we royals
possibly learn

From an ordinary
wild-lifer?

[Chuckling]

I'm for anything
that'll save our crops.

I agree.

You want us to go
to the dusty old savanna

To visit a smelly cat?!

We'll go tell andi
the council of crowns is coming!

We'll make andi
look so royal,

They'll have no choice

But to vote him
onto the council!

[Giggles]

[Snoring]

Badou:
andi! Andi!

[Pained grunt]

Guess who's coming to ask you
about bandit birds?

The council of crowns!

Andi:
ah, tame-towner bigwigs, huh?
Cool.

So do you have
some trumpeters

Or royal servants,

Or at least...
A crown?

[Laughs]

Hey, kingly bling
is not this cat's thing.

This is all the crown I need.

But you won't get voted
onto the council

Without a crown!

And I'd want to get voted
onto the council... Why?

'Cause it's a special club
for royals

Where they get together
to talk about

How to make things better
for everybody.

Yeah, I can dig that.

Maybe do a little good
for my peeps

Here on
the great grass sea.

So what do I gotta do
to get these votes, badou?

So this thing
is supposed to...?

Make your palace
look more grand.

A red carpet will help!

[Rock music plays]

Munroe:
nah...

[Country music plays]

Nah...
[Rock-pop music plays]

None of these sound like
the other kings' music.

Keep trying.

Andi's gotta have
a royal fanfare!

Something important.

[Funky music plays]

[Giggles]

Oh! Hmm...

Uh-huh...

I-i-i don't know,
badou-doolie-dude.

This feels, um, wrong.

To get on the council,

You gotta have
a crown-crown!

[Buzzing]
oh.

[Quill-fu grunt]

[Quill-fu grunt]

What?

I just had a tusk-tastic idea
for andi's royal servant!

Perfect! We're ready -

And just in time!

That's papi
and the council of crowns!

I'll go meet them!

Do we look as silly
as I feel?

Oh, I so hope not,
spiky dude.

Lady rataxes:
hmph! No fanfare!

No sweet treat!

This so-called king
has a lot to learn

About greeting royals.

I know this isn't
what you're used to,

But let's give
the young lion a chance.

Badou:
his royal lionliness,
king andi,

Welcomes you
to his savanna kingdom!

This way
to his majesty's palace!

[Rock music blares]

[Pop music blares]

[Laughing]

[Funky music plays]

Huh? Oh, yeah!
Riiiiight.

Welcome to my grand
savanna castle...

Palace!

palace... Place.
Whatever!

Uh, yo, I'm andi.

Whazzzzzup?

[Laughing]

[Buzzing]

Allow me,
my captain-king-cat, sir!

[Quill-fu grunt]

Whoa-whoa-whoa!
Spiky dude,

You're just making him mad!

Whoaaaaa!

Andi:
yeee-owwwwwch! Ouch!

[Hard thud]

[Andi and munroe groan in pain]

[Lord and lady rataxes laugh]

Lord rataxes:
I thought we were here
to meet a king,

Not a clown.

Badou:
I'm sorry, andi.
This is all my fault.

I didn't mean to make you
look silly.

But you shouldn't laugh!

Andi's just as royal
as you are.

Ha! Well, he's a royal mess,
I'll give him that!

You can laugh...

But it seems to me

That andi is
the only king here

Who still has a kingdom
full of sweetberries!

Lady rataxes:
whaaaa?!

Sweetberries! Gimme!

[Laughing]

Babar:
andi, let me apologize
for the less-than-noble manners

Of my peers.

[Eating noisily]

That includes me.

Enh! Guess I'm not cut out
for your council of cool.

But help yourselves
to the berries though.

Thank you,

But I'd rather
have the answer

To why you don't have
a problem with-

Lady rataxes
bandit birds!

Aaggghhhhh!

[Jaws snap]

Yeeooowwwww!

Uh-oh.

Agh!

Whooa! Aggghhh!

I'm flying!

Agh! I'm flying?!

Help! Yeow!

[Groans]

Shoooo!
Get out of here!

Go!

[Loud, ferocious roar]

[Band birds tweet loudly
and scatter]

Aghhhhhh!

[Roar ends in a menacing growl]

[Scared tweeting]

Babar:
now that's a royal fanfare!

Badou:
more like a fan-scare!

No wonder the bandit birds
stay clear

Of andi's sweetberry grove.

Rrroar!
[Giggles]

Hmph!
Anyone can just roar.

[Clears throat]

[Funny-sounding growl]

[Laughing]

Impressive display of power,
your majesty.

Too bad it can't be heard

In all of our kingdoms
at once.

[Gasps]

Maybe it can!

I've got a tusk-tastic idea!

[Chirping]

[Loud roar]

Badou:
I knew it!
Your recorded roar scares 'em

Just like your real one!

Ha, ha, ha!
Way cool, badou-dude.

Only, uh, do I really sound
so, uh, panther-ish?

Lady rataxes:
panther-shmanther.

There's not a cat around
with your...

Masterful deep-throated sound.

[Loud roar]

[Chuckles, enamoured]

Of course he's very
uh... Smelly.

General huc:
well done.

These portable roars should save
our sweetberries.

Tricking bandit birds
is almost croco-clever!

Well, you're welcome
to share my sweetberries

Till your own crops come in,

And each kingdom should
set some bushes aside

So the birds can eat too.

A wise idea,
your majesty.

Badou:
wise enough to get andi invited
to be on the council of crowns?

Babar:
all in favour?

Oof!

Welcome to
the council of crowns,

King andi of the savanna.

Uh, just one thing though.

No more king-y hats
for me.

Right, badou?

Right, andi.

I think you showed
everybody

That you don't need
a crown

To be a good king.

That's a good lesson
for a young prince...

And for old royals too.

Does that mean I can take
this stuff off now?

[Giggles]

All:
[laughing]
