[Applause]

Crocodylus:
[laughs] you call that
a love song?!

In "the slogs serenade,"

The lady crocs throw
her sweetheart into a swamp!

Now that's real love!

[Sobbing]

[Blows nose]

[Crying]

Zawadi: [whispers]
ms. Strich is crying, bu!

Munroe:
why?

Zawadi:
maybe it's because she doesn't
have a sweetheart.

Ms. Strich:
[sniffles and sobs]

I have a tusktastic idea!

Let's find her
a sweetheart!

Munroe:
huh?

In fairy tales,

The lady meets a prince
or a king

And they fall in love
and live happily ever after.

Dandi andi is king
of the savanna!

You go ask him to come
to the palace,

We'll think of a date
for them to go on.

Zawadi:
yes!

Bu,
what's a date?

Oh!

"Dear ms. Strich,

Meet me behind the palace
at two o'clock.

From your sweetheart."

I have an admirer?!

[Laughs]

[Playful laughter]

Andi:
wazzzup, badou-dely-dude?!

Munroe, dude!

Zawadi said you need me,
so here I am!

Yo! Ms. Strich!
[Purrs]

[Laughs]
why, king andi!

Are you the one
who-

Badou:
king andi, ms. Strich,

Do you want to play kickerball
with us?

Ms. Strich:
kickerball?

Andi:
kickerball?!

That's the "something important"
you need me for?

Ha!

Yes!

[Grunts of effort]

Agghhh! Whoa!

[Air hisses]

Ms. Strich:
goaaaaaaal! Woo-hoo!

Booya! Woo-hoo-hoo!

Andi:
aw! No way! No goal!

Quilled ball doesn't count!

ms. Strich:
nonsense! Goal!

Badou:
time out!

Nits and gnats!

Now they don't even like
each other.

Zawadi:
[blows whistle] date-
er, I mean, game over!

Andi:
whoa.

This kickerball thing
is a little too wild for me!

I'm sorry if I ruffled
your feathers, lovely lady!

Ms. Strich:
not at all.

Alas, I'm too much
of a city girl

To live in the wilds
of the great savannah.

but take heart.

One day,
you'll find your queen.

Uh... Okay.

Uh, later, dudes!

Zawadi:
kickerball was a terrible date!

You didn't even have them
playing together!

This is harder
than I thought.

Zawadi,
you find a new sweetheart.

Munroe and I will think up
a more romantic date.

Bu, what's romantic?

I'm not sure,
but I know how to find out!

babar:
here we are enjoying
a boat ride on big lake.

celeste:
oh, babar,

remember those lovely
ice cream sundaes?

And this was the first time
we danced

To "my savanna sweetheart."

Babar:
why the sudden interest
in romance, lads?

Badou:
it's a surprise!
We want to make someone happy.

Thanks, papi and nana!

[Paper flutters]

Oh!

"Meet me by the elephantium
fountain at sunset."

Oh my!

Another mysterious admirer!

[Panting]

[Soft music plays]

Zawadi:
the new sweetheart
will be here any minute!

Ooh! The landship looks
beautiful!

Munroe:
but it still needs
some action.

[Gasps]
be right back!

Badou:
munroe! Wait!

[Gasps]

[Grunts]

Cornelius! King babar needs
to talk to you right away

In the palace!

Oh dear.
Thank you, ambassador!

Please give these to zawadi
when she gets here,

Will you?

She asked me to bring flowers
from the royal greenhouse.

Oh!

Ms. Strich:
ambassador crocodylus?!

It's you?!

Agh! Er, ms. Strich!
I... I...

Ms. Strich:
oh my! Flowers? Music?
Ice cream!

Well, you've gone to a lot
of trouble, haven't you?

[Pulling grunt]

Badou:
munroe? Munroe?

[Eating noisily]

Munroe:
arrr! Defend your ship
and your sweetheart,

And prove your love!

Pirate!
Aaggghhh! Oof!

Whoa!

Agghhhh! Oof!

Yo!

Agh!

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[Screaming]

Badou:
ambassador crocodylus?!

Zawadi:
it was supposed
to be cornelius!

Agghhhhhh!
[Splash]

Ms. Strich:
well, thank you for
a most interesting evening.

Au revoir!

Badou:
whew! Ms. Strich almost fell
in love with crocodylus!

We can't let a mix-up like that
happen on the next date!

Crocodylus:
in the slogs, when a lady throws
a fellow into the water,

It means only one thing:

She's in love!

[Paper flutters]

Oh.

Ms. Strich:
"meet me in the grotto
at tea time!"

Crocodylus:
[gasps] tea time in the grotto?

Oh! She loves me!

[Giddy laughter]

Badou:
ms. Strich has to fall in love
this time

Or she may be lonely forever.

Zawadi:
gallop is perfect for her, bu!

And a tea party
is sooooooo romantic!

Munroe:
agh! And soooooo boring!

ms. Strich:
yoo-hoo!

I'm here!

Yoo-hoo!

Gallop:
who's making all that racket?

Oh! A tea party!

Ms. Strich:
fantastique, monsieur gallop!

Gallop:
I'll say! Honeybrush tea
is my favourite!

[Birdie thumps]

[Grunts of effort]

Babar:
someone is flying cloud dancer
without permission!

♪♪

Crocodylus: [sings off-key]
♪ oh, the frogs went croak ♪

[Gallop spits,
frogs croak]

♪ While the crocs did bellow! ♪

[Bellows]

♪ When she threw me
in the swamp ♪

♪ I knew I was her felloooooow ♪

[Screaming]

Ta-da!
For you, my sweet swamp swan!

Oh!

How dare you try to steal
the love

Of my fair fen flamingo!

Flamingo? Where?

Oh dear!
I'm just too irresistible!

[Grunts]

Crocodylus:
fear not, my love!

I shall return after
I have disposed of my rival!

Aghhhh!

Badou:
hang on, gallop!

Munroe:
finally, a little action!

[Crocodylus laughs]

Zawadi:
I've got you!

Gallop:
yeah, but who's got you?

[Realizing gasp]

Munroe:
bu, I need a boost!

Ugh!
[Grunting]

Aggghhhh!

Let go!

You can't stop a croc
when love is on the line!

[Grunting]

[Grunts]

[Gasps]

Whoa!

Babar:
badou?

Badou:
I'll explain later!

Can you bend this tree back
for me?

Babar:
celeste, let's lend a trunk!

Badou:
ready!

Woo-hoo!

Aggghhhh!

[Splash]

Babar:
badou! The rope!

Ha!

Ohhh!

Ms. Strich:
oh, your majesty,
please pardon poor crocodylus!

He got carried away because...

Well, he's in love with me!

What?! I thought
you were in love with me?

badou:
uh, ms. Strich?

We sent you the invitations
and planned all the dates.

[Gasps]

Zawadi:
we wanted you
to fall in love!

Huh?

Gallop:
nice try, hatchlings,

But I'm a single tortoise
and I like it that way!

Babar:
hmm. Children,
I'm sure you meant well,

But when it comes to love
and romance,

It's best to let people
make their own choices.

Badou:
but papi, ms. Strich is lonely!

She was so sad after you sang
"my savanna sweetheart,"

She was crying.

Ms. Strich:
I was moved to tears of joy
by the beauty of the song!

People cry
when they're happy, too?

Ms. Strich:
I could never be lonely!

Not with so many
dear friends!

I guess we should've asked you
how you were feeling!

Are you mad at us?

Ms. Strich:
of course not!

I'm happy that you care
so much about me.

Crocodylus:
oh! Muck and miiiiirrreee!!!

[Off-key bagpipe-like music
plays]

[Pained grunting]

[Sighs]

[Grunting]

Oh!
[Applause]

babar:
bravo, boss croc!

The slog-pipes sound like...

They're...
Not easy to play!

You don't have to tell me!

It takes a lot
of wind!

Crocodylus!
Get me a glass of bug water.

Right away,
your bossiness.

I added extra swamp bugs,

just the way you like it,
oh, bellowing one.

[Belches]
crocodylus!

Floss my fangs!

I want then to sparkle
like pointy diamonds!

[Disgusted groan]

[Playful laughter]

[laughter]

Tersh:
great catch, chiku!

Um... Is that a new invention
or a funny hat?

[Giggles]
it's both, tersh!

I call it the sun-hat!

In the daytime,

Energy from the sun
charges it up,

And then at night...
It glows!

Badou:
I get it!
It's like a flashlight,

Only you wear it
on your head!

Dilash:
hey, cousin mud-brain!
Time for your 12 o'clock noogie!

Dilash: ha-ha-ha!
Tersh: ow!

Dilash:
what is it?
A party hat for party-poopers?

Chiku:
very funny, dilash.
Very funny.

It isn't a party pooper hat.
It's a-

Badou:
a mind-control helmet!

Whoever wears it

Will do whatever
they're told to do.

Dilash:
aw! Quit yankin' my tail.

Chiku could never
invent something that cool.

Badou:
just watch!

Your wish is my command...

Chiku:
[laughs] um...

I command you to...
Hop like a bunny!

Tersh:
badou, I command you to give
my cousin a tail-twister!

Dilash:
hey! Let go!

Scratch your butt!
[Laughs]

Chiku:
badou, I command you to...

Put the helmet
on dilash!

Agghhhh! Noo!

[Moans]

Aggghhhhh!

Badou:
yay team! Let's go get
some banana popadops!

[Laughing]

Thank you for hosting my slog
music serenade, king babar.

Babar:
it's my pleasure,
boss croc.

Boss croc:
of course it is!

It's time we crocs show you
how to put on a real concert!

Crocodylus!
Get me some balloons!

I want big bunches of them,

Rising up behind me
as I play!

[Off-key bagpipe-like music
plays]

Crocodylus:
get this, crocodylus!
Do that!

One day, I'll be the one
doing the bossing.

Gaaah! Oof!

You nephewcompoop!
What are you doing?!

I'm hiding, uncle!

Chiku has a mind-control helmet!
They want to put it on me!

Ha! Impossible!

Dilash:
badou put it on
and he did what I said.

That proves it works!

He never does anything I say.

Crocodylus:
a mind-control helmet!

And where might I find
this wondrous device?

[Slurping]

Chiku:
hey! Where's my sun hat?

I left it right here.
It was right here!

Who would take my invention
without asking?

All:
dilash!

Why do I always get blamed
for everything?

I didn't take
your sun hat.

It was... Wait.
"Sun hat?"

Badou:
it isn't really
a mind-control helmet, dilash.

We tricked you.

Dilash:
[gasps] uncle!

[Off-key bagpipe-like music
plays]

Ha! I'm giving
the orders now!

I command you to...

Hop on one leg
and say,

"Crocodylus is
the best croc around!"

[Growing growl]

Um, fetch me
some spink weed?

[Growing growl]

Uh... Put down
those slog pipes?

[Whimpers]
please?

Aghhhh! Oof!

Badou:
boss croc, we were just playing
a little trick.

Please don't be angry
with the ambassador.

Boss croc:
he's not the ambassador anymore!

Pack your bags!

I'm sending you back
to the slogs... Forever!

[Off-key playing]

You nephew-compoop!

Thanks to you,
I've lost my comfy palace job!

And now I'm in big trouble,
thanks to you, badoufus!

Tersh:
I go where uncle goes,
so I guess this is goodbye.

[Sniffles]

Badou:
we can fix this, tersh.

Let's go see my papi.
He'll know what to do.

[Sighs]

badou:
and now tersh will have
to leave too -

All because we played a trick
on dilash!

Babar:
well, badou,
when you try to trick others,

You often end up
tricking yourself.

I know that now, papi,
but now it's too late.

Chin up, badou!

It's never to late
to make things right.

[Grunts of effort]

Badou:
I have tusktastic news!

My papi is going to ask
boss croc to let you stay.

I'm sure she'll say-

boss croc:
[echo] never!!!

Crocodylus has a new job now!

He's going to be
my personal claw trimmer

and scale scraper!

[Disgusted shiver]

Tersh:
[sighs] I'm gonna miss
you guys.

Crocodylus:
I'll miss living in this nice,
cozy palace.

Dilash:
this is all your fault!

I never guessed one little fib
would cause so much trouble!

A fib!
Yes! Of course!

I should have thought
of it sooner!

[Sly laugh]

Crocodylus:
I call it "operation:
zero to hero!"

Boss croc wanted balloons,
and balloons she will get!

Dozens of them,
filled with blimp-gas!

We will release them suddenly,

During her slog-pipe serenade.

As the stage is slowly lifted
from the ground,

I will leap to the rescue
of our frightened leader.

Whereupon, she will gratefully
give her hero - me -

His job back!

Oh, my plan is perfect!

And with your help,
what could possibly go wrong?

Badou:
but a bigger fib
will only cause bigger trouble.

I don't think we should-

Crocodylus:
oh, I'm sorry, tersh.
Your friends won't help us.

Now you'll have to go away
to the slogs forever...

Where you'll have no one
to play with but... Dilash.

It'll be noogie time,
all the time!

Tersh:
agghhhh!

Badou:
okay, okay.
We'll help.

Chiku:
tersh. We'll do it
to help tersh.

Chiku:
just push the green button

When you're ready to fill
the balloons.

Green means "go."
It means-

It means I'll be a hero!

Boss croc:
crocodylus!

Why are you still here?
Get out of my sight!

Crocodylus:
I brought the balloons
you bellowed for, bossy one.

When the time is right,
they will majestically appear

With a simple push
of this button.

Boss croc:
oooh! I love pushing buttons!

[Air hisses]

Yaaah! Eeek!

Badou: grab the stage!
Dilash: run away!!!

Whoooaaaaa!

Aggghhhh!

Ugh!

Whoa!

Aghhhh!

Babar:
we might have a chance
if we break some balloons!

[Popping]

Badou:
they're going down!
We have to find them!

But how, badou?
It'll be night time soon!

No problem.
I have a tusktastic idea!

Whoa!

Babar:
everyone, stay calm.

Aggghhhhhh!

Badou:
we're coming, papi!
Is everyone okay?

Babar:
so far, badou.

But these vines can't hold us
much longer.

Badou:
chiku, get above them
and drop this down to papi.

Tersh...
You stay down here,

In case we need you
to go get more help.

Ha!

[Panting]

Crocodylus:
save me first!

Whoa!

Aggghhhhhh!

Agh!

Whoa!

Muck and mire!

Boss croc:
[through clenched teeth]
you'll pay for this, crocodylus!

Whoa!

Badou:
tie it to the branch!

Whoooaaaa!

Tersh:
I'll catch- oof!

What about me?!

Whooooaaaaa!

Babar:
hang on, everyone!

Aghhhhhh!

Oh no!

babar:
a little help please, chiku?

[Gasps]

[Grunting]

[Panting]

Aghhh!

[Jumping grunts]

Boss croc:
my heroes!

Name your reward
for rescuing me:

Gold? Slog gems?

A lifetime supply
of spinkweed?

Badou:
that's nice of you,
your bossiness.

But what we really want

Is for you to give crocodylus
his job back.

Why should i?
Because of him,

I'll have to put on my concert
without balloons -

Or even a stage!

[Sighs] I wanted my performance
to be flashy and spectacular.

Like me.

Chiku:
did you say flashy?

What if we throw this in?

[Light buzzes]

Boss croc:
deal!

Crocodylus, you can go back
to being ambassador

After you help
make my show unforgettable!

[Off key playing]

Badou:
our little fib sure caused
big trouble, papi.

Chiku:
I'm just glad it's over.

Babar:
well, children,

It isn't over quite yet
I'm afraid.

Tersh:
king babar,
are we gonna be punished?

Babar:
that depends...

How do you feel
about slog-pipe music?

[Off-key bagpipe-like music
plays]

[Grunting in pain]

[Glass cracks]

[Shatters]
