[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.
