[Birds caw]

[Fishing line strains]

Badou:
papi, I got a bite!

Unnngghhh!
It's a big one!

Good job, badou.

Now, stay calm
and reel it in

Just as I showed you.

[Reel cranks]

Unnggghh! Ungh!

unnngggghhhh!

[Surfaces with a watery glug]

Huh?

[Giggles]

It's big all right,
'bu!

Very funny.

Chiku:
ooh! And I think this one's
a real fish!

Babar:
looks like you caught
a big one, chiku.

Ungh!

Unnnnngggghhhhh...

Whaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hang on, chiku!
I'll save you!

Babar:
badou!

Badou:
I'm not a baby!

Babar:
I know, badou.

Still, you'll have to be
a little longer in the tusk

Before you run a motor.

Longer in the tusk?

That means,
"when you're a bit older."

Chiku:
waaaaaahhh!

[Boat motor buzzes]

Chiku:
agghhhhh!

[Relieved sigh]
thanks a banana bunch!

That was coooool!

[Whirring sound nearby,
badou and chiku gasp]

babar:
that must be lord rataxes
and rhudi

arriving for their visit.

Time to head back
and greet our guests.

Too bad we didn't
catch anything.

Sure we did, chiku.
You!

[Laughing]

[Motor drones loudly
as it heads ashore]

Badou:
c'mon, let's find rhudi

Before he gets into
some kind of trouble.

Agh!

Uh, I think
he just found us.

Rhudi:
[laughing]
nice header!

So, who's up for some
three-way kickerball?

Agh!

Woo-hoo!

Rhudi:
c'mon, badou.
Over here!

Let's see
what you've got.

Whoa! Oof!

Not bad...
For a baby kick.

Who are you
calling a baby?

You! That's who!

"Baby badou" doesn't even
have his tusks yet!

Now, watch how
the big boys do it!

Ungh!

Oof!

[Laughing]

Rhudi:
hmph! I'm not playing anymore!

Who's the baby now,
huh?

My horn is all grown in.

That means
I'm all grown up!

Rhudi's right.

Without tusks,
I'm just a little kid.

[Gasps] I've just had
a tusk-tastic idea!

Maybe you could
invent something

To help make them
sprout!

Ooh! That's a banana-riffic
plan, 'bu!

Quick!
To the invent tent!

[Jostling noises]

Chiku:
ta-daaaaaaa!
Here it is...

My amazing vacu-tusk pump!

It uses suction.

Hee-hee!
Lots of suction!

This baby will pop
your tusks into view

In a monkey minute!

[Hums loudly]

Uh-oh!

Whoa!

[Vacuum whirs,
nozzle makes sucking sounds]

Aggghhhhh!

Oh no!

Whoa! No!
Ooohhhh!

We gotta get
the off switch!

Whoa!

[Gasps]
oh no!

Whoooooaaa!

Agh.

Oops! That was maybe
too much suction.

[Giggles]

I guess I'll just
have to wait

For my tusks
to grow by themselves.

You might be right...

Unless...

I could maybe make you
a set!

chiku:
how do they feel, 'bu?

Are they comfy?

I tried to make them
comfy.

They don't make me
look silly, do they?

They make you look
more grown-up.

Let's take them
for a test drive!

Badou:
[mature voice]
carry on, guards.

Lovely day,
isn't it, cornelius?

Cornelius:
quite lovely, prince...badou?

Badou:
did you see that?

Even cornelius
looked impressed!

[Gasps]

Whoa!

Badou:
good afternoon, papi.
Nana.

Badou, what-
[chuckles]

Celeste:
what a beautiful day
it is, badou.

Rhudi:
look out!
Coming through!

Hmph! Agh!

Huh?

Where'd you get those
goofy fake tusks, badou?

I didn't know the bazaar
had a joke shop!

[Snickers]

Babar:
you know, badou,

I remember I wanted my tusks
to grow in so badly,

I ate nothing
but spinkweed for weeks,

Thinking it would help.

Chiku:
yuck, your majesty!

Spinkweed tastes terrible!

Yuck indeed, chiku.

What was terrible was
it didn't work!

When I was young,
lord rataxes told me

That a sure way
to grow tusks

Was to smear sap
from a jungle bumble vine

On my cheeks!

Jungle bumble sap?
Really?

Yes, dear, but it-

Cornelius:
your majesties are needed
right away!

It appears the royal cook

Tried to stop
the lord rataxes

From raiding the palace
taffy supply!

Rataxes:
ba-bar!

Get this gummy gourmet off me!

Unnnnnggggghhhhhhh!

Oof!
[Groan in pain]

Celeste:
oh dear!

Badou:
c'mon! Let's go find
a jungle bumble vine!

But, 'bu, jungle bumble sap
is the stuff that-

We'll be careful

And we'll bring
the vine here

So my nana can show me
how to use the sap.

Lord rataxes:
aagggghhhhhh!
[Groans]

badou:
we'll be back
before they're done here.

This is the only way
I can get my tusks to grow!

[Insects buzz]

Chiku:
[gasps]

Agh!

Surprise!
I'll take that! Ho!

Rhudi! Be careful!

[Grunts of effort]

[Vine snaps]
rhudi: whoa! Oof!

[Groans]

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

What do you mean, "uh-oh"?

[Buzzing nearby]

That's what!

Yikes!

Jungle bumble sap
attracts jungle bumble bees!

I thought everyone
knew that!

I didn't!

[Buzzing]

Rhudi:
heeeeelllllllp!

do something!

Wwwwhhhhhaaaaaa!

[Panting]

Maybe this will
distract them!

Agh!

Rhudi:
whoa!

Whaaaaa!

[hard thump]
oof!

Badou:
rhudi! Are you okay?

Rhudi:
no! Thanks to you!

Agh! I think
my ankle's sprained.

Chiku:
if rhudi can't walk,

How will we get him back
to the palace?

you and I will have
to go for help, 'bu.

No. I'll stay here
with rhudi,

While you go for help.

I don't need babysitting,
especially by you.

You're braver than me,
rhudi.

I wouldn't wanna be
left out here...

All by myself...

in the big,

Dark, scary jungle,

Unable to walk.

Fine. Stay.

Be back in a monkey minute,
'bu!

Good luck!

Agh!

Okay. First, we need to get that
sap off you.

Before those sap-loving bees
get wind of you again.

So why did you want the sap,
anyway?

I thought it might help
my second horn to sprout.

You know, so I could prove
to my granny and grampy

that I'm really grown up.

[Hissing sound nearby,
both gasp]

Did you hear that?

What is it?

Sleek? Polomoche?

Some other rhino-eating
creature?!

Worse.
I think it's squeeze!

The snake?
The squeezing snake?

squeeze:
ooooooh!

Here's a pair of perfectly
plump prizes!

Badou:
back off, squeeze!

My papi is going to be here
any second!

Badou! Watch out!

Ahhh! Oof!

[Chuckles]

[hissing]

[Whimpers]

Huh?

[Grunts]

Ooooooh!

Let go of my tail!

[Grunts of effort]

[Hissing]

[Grunting]

[Buzzing]

Rhudi! Use the sap!

Wha!

[Grunting]

Hey!
[Hissing angrily]

[Bees buzz loudly]

Noooo!

Aaaggghhhhhh!

Whoa!

Squeeze:
whhhhooooaaaaa!

Whoa...
Did you see that?

Ha! I bet that big
bully thinks twice

Before dealing
with me again!

[loud snap]

Or not...

Rhudi:
whaaaaa!

Eat badou, not me!

Eat him!
Eat badouuuuu!

babar:
i appreciate the kind offer,
rhudi,

But I just had my lunch.
Thanks.

[Giggles]

[Laughs]

celeste:
of course,
rataxes told me

to use jungle bumble sap
as a prank.

he knew it would
attract bees,

not help my tusks to sprout.

[Laughs]
that was a pretty funny prank.

Not according
to your grandson.

But, but...

Badou's to blame
for my poor rhudi's injury!

rhudi:
actually, grampy,

Badou saved me

From getting squeezed
by squeeze.

I guess maybe you're not
such a baby after all.

Rhudi's right.

Tusks or no tusks,

Staying with a friend
in trouble

Was a very grown-up
thing to do.

Thanks, papi.

Maybe I am growing up.

I don't even mind waiting
for my tusks anymore.

You don't, 'bu?
I'm glad!

Uh-huh!

My tusks will sprout
when they sprout,

And not a monkey minute
before!

♪♪

[Grunts of effort]

captain darling:
king babar!

Now don't get yourself all muddy
on my account.

All in a days work,
captain.

I'll help, papi!

Me too!
Whooooooaaaa!

Oof!

Good job, munroe.

That was just the added
"oomph" we needed!

Captain darling:
thanks, mates!

Oh, I've never seen
the water levels so low.

Babar:
and not a rain cloud in sight.

Badou:
big lake is too deep
to totally dry up,

Isn't it, papi?

babar:
it is, badou.

But this dry spell
is a serious matter

For the wildlifers
on the savanna.

They need the rains to keep
the watering holes filled.

Pom:
hey, pop!

Mr. Corkybo's coconut barge
is beached

Out on buttonstone delta.

We'll lend a hand,
son.

I'll see you boys
back at the palace.

Badou and munroe:
goodbye!

Doesn't king babar
have people

He can order
to help others?

He likes helping.

He says that's
what a king is for.

[humming sound nearby]

Hey!
Do you hear that?

Hear what?

It's coming
from this way!

Okay,
now I hear it.

[Humming]

[Humming pulses]

Both:
[laughing]

All right, 'bu!
Rock it!

You give it a try!

[Humming stops]
hmm...

Yeah...

Huh?

Mr. Floody:
[laughing]

Why, seems that stick
doesn't sing for just anyone.

It looks really old.

Where did you get it,
mr. Floody?

Oh, uh... I found it
when the lake went down.

[Laughs nervously]

Well,
who knows how long

It'd been lyin' there
in the mud?

It's pretty cool.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, this thing weighs a ton!

Get it off!

You push and I'll pull.
Ready?

Huh?

Munroe:
whaaaaa! Ooooof!

Badou:
thumpin'!
It's light as a feather!

How'd you do that?

[Laughs]
I'll be swoggled!

I wonder if that's
a song staff?

legend says a song staff

Can only be carried
by a great king!

Both:
wow!

Badou:
it feels like
it's pulling me!

Mr. Floody:
a great king can use
the song staff

To unlock a great treasure!

Treasure? Woo-hoo!

Whaddya want to trade
for it?

Trade?! Ha ha!

Take the silly stick!

No one is going to trade
for something

They can't carry home.

Badou:
tusk-tastic!
Thanks, mr. Floody!

Munroe:
[laughing]

Prospero:
well done, floody.

I knew when I found
the thing

That one of the royals
would come chasing its song.

Um... Ahem.

You'll get your share

After that boyo
leads me to that treasure.

[Humming]

Whew! Hot!

'Bu! Look!

Badou:
grass fire!

Badou:
warden widebottom,
is everything okay?

Warden widebottom:
all under control here,
prince!

The warden's got it covered.

Come on,
oh great king!

You've got a treasure
to find.

Whoa!

Ugh!
I can't move it!

[Crackling sound,
warden sniffs]

[Gasps]

My pump is empty!

[Water splashes,
hot spot hisses]

Quick thinking, prince!

Awesome!

Yes!

[Stick starts humming]

Now we may not have
enough water

To make it
to the treasure.

Do we go back?

Whoa!

Hmm. Guess not.

[Chuckles]

This watering hole
used to be as big

As one of the palace ponds.

[Growling]

Run, 'bu! Hi-ya!

[Quill-fu grunts]

Agh!

Oof! [Strains] ungh!

Munroe:
badou!

[Grunts]

Hahna:
you selfish cub!

King babar would be
ashamed of you!

You take that back,
hahna!

Badou is going to be
a great king one day!

No, munroe,
hahna's right.

I'm sorry, hahna.

i should never have taken
the last of your water.

Whoa!

When I get back
to celesteville,

I'll tell my papi
about this.

I doubt even king babar

Has the power
to make it rain,

But your offer
is very kind, cub.

Nits and gnats!
Come on, let's go!

[Growls]

[Animal howls nearby]

Badou and munroe:
ungh!

Munroe:
hi-ya! Hi-ya!

What is that?

I dunno.
A wild cheetah maybe?

Ughhh!
Not again!

[low bellows]

What're you doing?

Baaaaattle raaaaaattle!

Agggghhhhhhhhh!

[High-pitched wheeze]

Ow!

[Laughs]

Hoot?

[Laughs]
that's me!

No foolin'!

What's with all that howling?

You'd - ahhh! - Too
if a great big rock

Had fallen on your tail.

Badou got me loose.

There used be a spring
back there,

But it's gone dry.

I am so thirsty!
No foolin'!

[Gasps]

Hey!

'Bu, how'd you know
it wasn't a wild cheetah

Behind those rocks?

Badou:
I didn't.

it just sounded like
someone was in trouble.

You thought I might
be a cheetah

And you still came to check?

Wow!
That was really brave.

[Staff hums]

You stay and finish
the water, hoot.

We'll be back soon.

Munroe:
with the great king's treasure!

Badou:
[grunts] whoa!

[Panting]

I could use a drink
of water.

[Grunts]

We'll never make it there
and back at this rate.

You should go on
without me.

Unnngghh!
[Gasps]

Actually,
I have a better idea.

Wooo-hooo!

Whooaaaa!

Arrgh! Whoa!

[Laughing]

Ooooof! Owww!

Woo-hooo! Yay!

Whaaaaa! Oof! Agghhhh!

[Gasps]

Woo-hoo!

Whoooooa!

Wow!

That's queen cleo!

She's pointing to the door.

I bet that's where
the treasure is!

Prospero:
I agree. [Chuckles]

Munroe:
hi-ya!

You followed us
to steal the treasure!

I couldn't carry
that noisy toothpick

So I let you do it.

You've made me
a merry mess o'money, boyo!

[Grunts]

We have to do something, 'bu!

Prospero:
you, boyo!
Bring that twig over here.

Use it to open
this door!

Maybe now's the time to run
and tell your papi.

[Grunts]

The staff turns heavy
when we run,

Because running away
isn't what a king does!

Well, yeah,
but you're not king yet,

So running is okay.

There has to be
another way!

Prospero:
I want that treasure! Now!

'Bu!

[Growls]

That treasure belongs
to a great king.

Badou will never
give it to you!

Yes, I will.

Huh?

The treasure doesn't
belong to me.

As a matter of fact,

I think prospero
should have it all.

[Staff hums]

[Deep rumbling]

I'm rich! Rich!

[Laughs]

[Rumbling]

Prospero:
whaaaaaa!

Yay!

[Water gushes]

Badou:
when I saw the drop fall,

i realized the treasure
behind the door was water!

Pom:
queen cleo must have dammed
the underground spring

To store water
in case of drought.

Babar:
that's a treasure
far more valuable than gold.

Badou:
it's lucky I found
the song staff.

Babar:
its name is riverrod.

According to elephant lore,

It is one of four
queen cleo had created.

the staff's entwined trunks

represent the traits
of a great king.

Quick thinking...

Warden widebottom:
like when you used
your canteen

To put out the bush fire,
young majesty!

Kindness...

Hahna:
you gave us your water,
little prince.

And courage...

Hoot:
you saved me

Even though you thought
I might be a cheetah!

Grrr!
[Laughs]

But all I did
was carry it.

Really, badou?
That's all you did?

It sounds to me like
you made all the right decisions

Along the way.

That's why you're gonna make
a great king one day.

Babar:
[chuckles]

Something tells me
queen cleo would agree.
