[Playful laughter]

The candy cook:
here you go, sweet feet.

Kids:
yeah! Woo-hoo!

The candy cook:
[chuckles]

Ms. Strich:
come along, class,

We've picked a lovely journee
for a beach clean-up!

Looks pretty clean
to me.

chiku:
uh, except for ambassador
junk-o-dylus.

ms. Strich:
now, my petite beach-combers,

Good citizens
take an active part

In making their communities
better- whoooaaaaa! Whoa!

Crocodylus:
[spluttering]

[Grunts of effort]

oof!

Ms. Strich and badou:
oops!

Muck and mire!

You've spilt
all my sunscale lotion.

[Growling]

[Pained groans]

The candy cook:
well done, sugar snout!

Badou:
we're learning
to be good citizens

By cleaning up the beach!

Well! That certainly merits
a little reward!

Badou and chiku:
thanks!

[Chuckles]

Both:
mmm!

[Wind gusts]

[Gasps] litter on the loose!
Litter on the loose!

Whoooaaaa!
Whoa! Oof!

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

[Unsteady moans]

Whaooaoaoaoaoa!

Whoa!

[Shrieks]

Badou:
but, ms. Strich,
it's just one little piece!

[Panting]

Chiku:
be careful!

A-ha! Whoa!

Agghhhh!
[Splash]

Ungh!

Papi!

[Gasps]

Ms. Strich:
eeeek!! Oh my!

There's a slick of ick
on the lake.

Babar:
it's coming from way out
on big lake.

We'd better check it out.

Ms. Strich:
what about me?
I'm green!

Crocodylus:
harumph!

Green is a most excellent color-

Whaaaaa! Oof!

Badou:
perhaps the most excellent
ambassador

Could pick up
some of his garbage.

Babar:
a wise idea,

Wouldn't you agree,
ambassador crocodylus?

[Groans]

Oof! [Moans]

Chiku:
we'll have you de-greened
in a monkey minute, ms. Strich!

Whoa!

Ms. Strich:
whoopsie! Oh, my!

Whoa! Whoa!

[Splash]

[Coughing]

Ms. Strich:
aanval, my noble majesties!

Chiku:
woo-hoo, badou!

Ms. Strich:
whoa! Ungh!

[Blimp whooshes]

Babar:
keep your eyes peeled,
badou!

Badou:
you got it, papi.

There!

Good eyes!

Let's grab that barrel.

Aye aye, papi!

[Rotor whooshes]

Bring us in smooth
and steady, papi!

Babar:
aye aye, captain!

Ha!

got it!

Babar:
good lad!
Let's get it to shore.

Papi! There's a royal crest
on this barrel.

That means
it's one of ours!

Babar:
then I think I know
where it came from.

Hang on!

Chiku:
whoa! [Grunting]

Quel indignity!

Agghhhhhh!
[Coughing]

Badou:
shoreline dead a- whaaaaa!

Whoa!

Agghhh!

Close one, papi.
Thanks!

Babar and badou:
whoa! Wahhh!

Whoa! Agghhhh!

Babar:
emergency landing, badou!

Drop the cargo
on my order!

Now!

Hang on!

[Skids to a halt]

Wahhh!

Oof! Whew!

Papi, all those barrels have
the royal crest on them.

Babar:
I know, badou.

There's no time to lose.
Come on!

Ms. Strich:
you have carte blanche,
mein liebchen,

To do whatever is necessary

To clean this gunky goo
off moi.

Okay, ms. Strich!

[Water rushes]

Ms. Strich:
whaaaaaaaa!

[Gasps]

Badou:
what is that?

Babar:
that, badou,
is the gunkifier.

Celesteville's
trash mashing machine.

It's ours?

I'm afraid so,
badou.

Mr. Handyhippo:
stand back, your majesties!

Sometimes this old bucket
o'bolts gets stuck.

[Clucks open]

Nits and gnats,
papi!

Who's making
all this garbage?

Hey! That's my trash!

That's my one little
piece of litter.

Babar:
it adds up fast,
badou.

[Paper rustles in the wind]

Papi, we're all making
this garbage!

Mr. Handyhippo:
there's too much garbage
for the gunkifier to handle,

Your majesty.

Whaaaaa!

[Gasps]

Oof! Oof!

Whaaaaaaa!

Whaaaaa! Whaaaaa!
Whaaaaa! Whaaaaa!

Badou:
we have to help him!

[Rattling]

Wahhhhh!

We must find a way
to turn it off!

Chiku:
ms. Candy cook!

Can you tell me what you use
to clean up sticky syrup

And chocolate stains?

The candy cook:
try some of this,
tickle toes.

[Spray hisses,
brush scrubs]

Mmm...
Smells like peppermint!

Chiku:
it's working!

The green is coming clean!

[Laughing]

Huh?

Mr. Handyhippo:
whoa! Wahhh!

What in the name of green gators
is that?!

Aghh!

Hmph!

Mr. Handyhippo:
whoooaaa! Wahhhhh!

[Gasps]
mr. Handyhippo's in trouble!

Chiku, wait!

Whoa! Whoa! Oof!

Whoa! Woooo!

Babar:
this should get us close enough
to shut off the gunkifier!

Ready?

Badou:
yup!

Mr. Handyhippo:
whoa!

Babar and badou:
whoooaaaa! Wahhhh!

Badou:
nits and gnats, papi!

We need to find something
to push down that lever!

Ahhhh! Whoa! Aggghhhh!

Badou:
oops!

Mr. Handyhippo:
woooo!

[Gasps]

We'll have to think
of something else!

Chiku:
what about this?
Can you hit it with this?

Hmm...

I have an even better idea!

Chiku:
you missed!

Babar:
no, he didn't.

You want me to hold the rod up,
don't you?

Badou:
high and tight as you can,
papi.

[Grunts]

Give me a leg up!

Chiku:
a zip line!

Badou:
tusks away!

Ha!

Mr. Handyhippo:
woo-hoo!

Whooaaa!

Oof!

Badou:
gunkification stopped!

Chiku:
yay!

[Relieved sigh]

[Chuckles]

There you go,
feather fanny!

Clean as a whistle!

Well now!

We've certainly got our work
cut out for us, don't we?

Soon as I'm fixed up here,

I'll get that old gunkifier
fixed up good as new,

Your majesty.

Babar:
I'm afraid that won't solve
our problem,

Mr. Handyhippo.

We're all making
too much garbage.

There has to be something
we can do!

Papi...
I have an idea.

We were able to reuse plenty
of that trash

To stop to the gunkifier,
right?

That's right.

So we should be reusing
everything

Before it's thrown away.

Like...

The candy cook could serve
her treats

On sticks and skewers
that could be cleaned

And used again and again!

And the hippos could reuse
their plastic picnic bags

instead of throwing them away!

Yeah!

And ambassador crocodylus,

You could refill your bottle
of sunscreen lotion

Instead of dumping it
in the garbage.

We could even reuse things
in different ways, 'bu!

With a couple extra ingredients

And some peppermint juice
from the candy cook -

We could turn the green sludge
into a sweet-smelling paint.

I suppose it is
kind of a pretty green!

What do you think,
papi?

I think you're
the smartest grandson

A papi's ever had.

[Giggles]

We'll begin a royal reuse
and recycle program

On a city-wide basis.

We could have a slogan
and everything!

Like "don't lose it,
reuse it!"

Babar: [chuckles]
all: [cheering] hooray!

Humph! Why should I go
to all that bother

For one little piece
of litter?

Whaaaaa!

Oof!

Muck and mire!

Get this ick
off of me!

Help! Helllllp!

Badou:
there's no time to waste
getting started, papi!

Don't worry,
ambassador!

here we come!

[Groans]
but... But...

This is so humiliating.

badou and munroe:
[mimicking an engine]
rrrrrrrrrr!

Wooooo! Woo-hoooo!

[Playful laughter]

Yeah!

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!

[Laughter]

Badou:
thumpin'!

It's a new record,
munroe!

We've never made it this far
without touching the ground!

Munroe:
we're not done yet, bu'.

If we jump over to that-

Badou:
hey... What's that?

Badou and munroe:
[gasps]

It's alive!

Quillin'!

Wow!

Whoa!

[Wings buzz]

Badou:
there's a whole bunch of them
on that honey bush!

Honey bush?
Cool.

Do the leaves taste sweet
like honey?

No, they're just really sticky
like honey.

[chuckles]

Munroe:
[struggling grunts]

Ungh! Hunh! Agh!

[Groans]

[Gasps,
swatting grunts]

[Sighs]

Come on, munroe,
I want to show this to my papi.

[Swatting grunts]

[Grunts]

Munroe:
[calls out]
chiku!

Chiku:
wahhh!

Munroe:
look what we found!

It's a gold bug.

All:
[gasps]

[Gasps]
coooooooooool!

Badou:
we named him buzz!

Munroe:
we saw a whole bunch of them!

I bet they were on
a honey bush!

Were they on a honey bush?

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

[Laughing]

Chiku:
come on, munroe,
I'll help you get them off.

Bye, bu'.
Nice meeting you, buzz!

See you guys later.

Come on, buzz,

After I show you
to my grandpa,

I'll take you right back
where I found you!

Hmm.

[Sneaky laugh]

Aghhh! Oof!

[Pained groans]

Babar:
that is an exciting find,
badou.

I haven't seen a gold bug
in ages!

I like the sparkles
buzz makes.

at first,
i thought it was real gold.

Babar:
it is, badou.

Your little friend
is covered in real gold dust.

Badou:
thumpin'!

Babar:
unfortunately,

That's why there aren't
many left nowadays.

Over the years,
greedy gold hunters

Have dug up
their nesting sites,

And now it's hard
for the gold bugs

To find a place to live.

Badou:
they must have found gold
near lazy lion rock.

That's where we-

All:
gold! Gold!
Glittering gold! Woo-hoo!

Oh no! They're going
to dig up his home!

I'm sorry, buzz,

I should have been
more careful.

Babar:
badou, did you see
the spot where buzz

And the others are living?

No. They were eating
honey bush leaves.

We didn't find
their home.

Well then,
there's still hope.

If we're lucky,
those greedy gold hunters

Won't find it either.

We can make sure
they don't find it, papi!

Don't worry, buzz,
we're not giving up...

I have a tusktastic plan!

[Buzzing]

Rhudi:
rhinoteers get ready to ride!
Today's mission will be-

Crocodylus:
my own gold mine!

I'll be a crocodile king!

[laughing]

Lady rataxes:
keep your scales off my gold!

I heard about it first!

So... [Shrugs]

You guys wanna play
kickerball?

Found it!

[Toy bug buzzes]

Now all we need
is some gold paint!

Good thinking,
badou!

We'll send those gold hunters
off on a wild bug chase!

Thumpin!

[Greedy laughter,
tires screech]

Whoa!

Lord rataxes:
out of our way!

Aggghhhhhh!

[Groans]

Hey!

[Evil laughter]

Whoa! Oof!

Aggghhhh!

Whoa!
[Tires screech]

Whooaaaa!

[Crash]
oof!

[Pained groans]

Lord rataxes:
there's nothing harder
than digging for gold

With a bad back.

Agh! Agh! Agh!

Huh?

crocodylus:
[pained groans]

That greedy babar is trying
to get to the gold first!

Crocodylus:
we'll see about that!

Lady rataxes:
hey! Agghhhh!

Crocodylus:
where's my gold?!
Where is it?!

Lady rataxes:
remember the golden rule:
it's mine! All mine!

badou:
fly straight home, buzz!

don't talk to strangers,
especially gold hunters!

And whatever you do,

Don't let them follow you
back to your home!

Lord and lady rataxes:
gold! Mine! All mine!
Follow that bug!

Crocodylus:
outta my way!

Badou:
[chuckles]

[Buzzing]

[Panting]

"Operation wild bug chase"
is a flying success.

Woo-hoo!

Congratulations,
badou!

[Chuckles]

We sure fooled them,
didn't we, buzz?

Now you can fly home

Without those gold hunters
following you.

[Gasps] wait!

Don't go that way!

Lord and lady rataxes:
follow that bug! Gold!

Crocodylus:
outta my way!

There it is!

Lady rataxes and crocodylus:
I saw it first!

Badou:
nits and gnats!

I never thought his home
might be in that direction!

Come on, papi, our mission
isn't finished yet!

That's the spirit,
badou!

Never give up!

[Buzzing]

Oof!

Oof! [Groans]

Agghhhh!
Get back, you buzzing beast!

Agh! Oof!

Agghhh!

[Buzzing]
wahhhhhh!

Good work, buzz!

Now's my chance

To throw them off
the trail again!

[Cranks the bug]

It's getting away!

Oof!

Badou:
phew! I hope buzz
stays clear of them,

Wherever he went.
Huh?

He must like you.

[Buzzing]

He wants us
to follow him!

[Buzzing]

badou:
wow!

babar:
amazing.

Papi, we have to do
everything we can

To keep this nest safe
from greedy gold hunters.

[Buzzing]

Buzz agrees, badou,
and so do i!

Hiding that big entrance
might be a good start?

Let's get to work.

[Buzzing]

[Chuckles]

Huh?

There's nothing here!

Where's all the gold?!

Wahhhh! Oof!

This is no time for napping,
you lazy bug!

[Spring boings]

Muck and mire!
It's a fake!

[Stomping grunts]

This is the devious work
of babar

And his sneaky grandson!

[Scream of rage]

Agggghhhhhhhh!

[Birds squawk]

[Grunting with effort]

Even if someone does follow
a gold bug here,

They'll never get past
that rock pile!

Crocodylus:
there they are!

king greedy
and prince sneaky!

While we've been chasing
fool's gold,

They've struck it rich!

Lord rataxes and lady rataxes:
hmph!

Badou:
leave the gold bugs alone!
This is their home!

Lady rataxes:
well, they shouldn't have
made their home

In the middle of my gold!

Eyyyaaaiiiieeeeeeeeeee!

Lord rataxes:
thought you could hog
all the gold to yourself,

Huh, babar?

That is so like you!

Babar:
our only interest

Is in the safety
of these rare beetles.

What about my safety?!

They're vicious att*ck bugs!

Badou:
buzz isn't vicious!

He just wanted you
to quit following him!

Don't worry, buzz,
we're not going to give up.

There has to be something more
we can do.

I could bring
in the royal guards,

But I'm afraid there
isn't time.

i've never seen such
a bad case of gold fever.

We don't need the royal guards,
papi!

We have a whole army
that can help us right here!

But we will need
some honey bush leaves.

[Grunting, rock crumbles]

Crocodylus:
I'm coming, gold!
Daddy's home!

[Laughing gleefully]
ow!

Lord rataxes:
oh no you don't!

Slime tail!

[Loud trumpeting]

Badou:
honey bush leaves!

All:
[gasp]

It's lunchtime!

[Buzzing]

[Screaming]

Looks like we cured
their gold fever, papi!

Well done, badou.

But I'm afraid gold fever
will spread

Once others hear stories
about this cavern.

I won't tell anyone!

I know you won't.

It's them
I'm worried about.

Badou:
oh, right...

Well, I know we're not
going to give up...

So what do we do next,
papi?

We put our heads together

And come up with
a tusktastic plan of course!

Chiku: cool!
Munroe: wow!

You and your grandpa
did this?

Badou:
we realized keeping this cave
a secret would be impossible,

So we decided to help
the gold bugs

By telling everybody
about it.

All:
[admiring]
ooh... Ahhh... Wow!

Babar:
now there are lots of people
who love seeing the gold bugs,

And when people care
about something,

They want to keep it safe
from harm.

[Giggles]

Hi, buzz!

[Buzzing]

Huh?
What is it?

babar, badou and munroe:
[awestruck] wow!

chiku:
cool.
