01x21 - Kickin' it with the Roos

[bunniefuu]

Hey, it's the Kratt
Brothers here.

I'm Chris.
And I'm Martin.

And we're here with our
own mob of red kangaroos.

Check out those springy legs.

That's what gives the red
kangaroo his incredible jump.

Let's see how
we measure up.

First off, the long jump.
Ready, Martin?

Here it goes!

Nice! Let's see
what you got.

About feet: not bad.

It's not bad?
Pretty good I think!

For a joey maybe.

But an adult male kangaroo

can jump this far, ',

about meters.

That's over the times further
than the average human can jump.

Average? Who are
you calling average?

(Laughing)

All right, time
for the high jump!

Yeah.

For Chris to be able to jump
as high as a kangaroo,

he's going to have
to jump ' or almost m.

That's over me and high
enough to touch that target.

Ready for this?

(Gasping)

Whoa!

(Laughing)

How did you do it?

Hey, wait a second.
No way.

You're disqualified.

You can't use a trampoline
to jump like a kangaroo.

It's the only way
people can do it.

We just don't have the bounce in
our jump that a kangaroo does.

Whoo!

Yeah, it's amazing
what kangaroo's can do

with those springy legs,

from that hopping power to those
incredible kickboxing matches.

Imagine if we could leap like
kangaroos and join the mob.

CHRIS:
Obstacle, straight ahead!

MARTIN:
Even a waterhole can't

Engaging
hydro-glide water wheels.

♪

CHRIS:
A big gully can't stop
the Createrra either.

Engaging turbo booster!

(Both screaming)

Whoohoo!

MARTIN:
I think the Createrra VX

is my favorite ride
in the Australian Outback!

When you're looking for
a group of red kangaroos,

all-terrain is
the way to go, bro.

You got that
right, dude.

I can't wait to see
them leap '.

That's like jumping
the length of a school bus!

Not even the Createrra
can do that.

And I can't wait to see
them go miles per hour.

The Createrra can do that.

Yeah, we're up
to kangaroo speed, Martin!

(Kookaburra "laughing")

What's with
the weird laugh?

Wasn't me.

Sounded just like
an Australian kookaburra bird.

That's cause it's the cool new
kookaburra horn Aviva designed.

(Kookaburra "laughing")

Sweet. Hm.

Okay, you can stop
honking now.

I only honked once.

("Laughing")

Ha-ha, looks like the horn
attracted a real one!

(Kookaburra "laughing")

All right, we know
it's your turf, kookaburra.

We're moving on!

Whoa!
We found them!

Red kangaroos!

MARTIN:
Yeah, the males are red,
but check out the females.

Female red
kangaroos are blue!

Be out in a second.

I'm setting up
the digital measuring meter

so I can get
the distance of their leaps.

(Beeping)

So, Chris, how many
roos does it take

to hop over your head
before you look up?

Huh?

(Gasping)

Three!

Whoa. Got it!

That last one
just leaped '!

That's about
one foot shy

of the max jump distance
of the red kangaroo,

the greatest jumpers
in the creature world!

AVIVA:
Incredible!

I'm going to add
that leg power

to your Creature
Power Suits!

Cool!
Cool!

Jumping over and out!

Hey, you might be small,

but I think that last hop
was almost a meter high,

One foot, inches to be exact.

I'm going to call
you Hopster!

So you want to take
me on, huh? Oof!

You're a tough little
guy, aren't you? Oh.

He's got to practice.

For a kangaroo,
kickboxing is as important

as breathing
and eating because--

(Gasping)

Ooh, nice one, Hopster.

He got you
good, Martin.

Hey, Hopster,
where you going?

We didn't even
finish round one!

Probably didn't want
to hurt you.

(Both laughing)

Now here's what
kickboxing is all about!

One male roo saying
to the other:

"I'm tougher than you!"

So for kangaroos,
the best kickboxer

gets to be the top
roo of the mob!

MARTIN:
I wouldn't go near
that boxing match.

One kick from those
powerful hind legs

could cause a serious
stomach ache.

CHRIS:
Oh, it's a good
thing kangaroos have

an extra-thick layer
of skin on their belly

to absorb blows
like that one.

Good luck, challenger.

If you win you'll
take over as roo boss!

Ooh, and the
Roo Boss wins!

And stays head
of the mob!

Hey, where did
Hopster go?

I want to play
with him again.

Yeah, he's definitely
more your speed, Martin.

(Both laughing)

Hey, Hopster!

I'm over here!

Hm. Ah!

I knew you
liked me, buddy.

Hey, you want
to play hopscotch?

(Laughing)

Whoa!

Looks like he'd rather play
Keep Away with our keys!

Two can play
at this game.

Hey, get back here
with those keys!

CHRIS:
He went that way, Martin!

Whoa!

CHRIS:
Okay, now he's going that way!

Ah, now he wants
to play hide-and-seek

inside his mom's pouch!

Heh, you might be
quick little guy,

but I know where
you're hiding, Hopster!

(Martin gasping)

Huh? What? Ooh, whoa.

Uh-oh.
Huh?

This could be a problem.

Relax, dude.

I know exactly where Hopster
is hiding with our keys.

Oh, yeah? Where?

(Gasping)

Uh, can I get back
to you on that?

(Rusting)
Hm.

No problem here,
Roo Boss.

Just a little
thing with keys.

Nothing to worry about.

(Birds chirping)

Chris, I think Hopster
and our keys are in that one!

Sort of.

Kind of?

Maybe.

No, he's definitely
in that one.

Or not? Hm.

(Giggling)

I think Hopster is in the pouch
three over to the left.

Which is now the pouch
five over to the right.

I think he's in the pouch

of that really
big red one.

Hm?

That's a guy
kangaroo, Jimmy.

They don't have pouches.

Probably for
the same reason

I don't want to carry
my mom's purse.

MARTIN:
Okay, crew,

guessing
game is over.

I'm . % positive

the keys are in this one!

(Gasping)

Huh?

That's not Hopster.

Whoever he is, he sure got
a kick out of you, Martin.

(All chuckling)

Keep cool, Brothers Kratt.

I'll look for the spare
keys for the Createrra VX.

JIMMY Z:
Yikes.

AVIVA:
You've got that right, Jimmy.

Red kangaroos'
kickboxing kicks

are powerful enough
to break ribs.

These suits are sure going
to pack a lot of kick.

I'll check out those
females over there.

Whoa.

Hello, Roo Boss,
really big red kangaroo.

How's it going?

I'll try to distract him
while you look for the keys.

But hurry!

I'm on it!

Hopster, here I come!

CHRIS:
Uh-oh, red kangaroos
stand tall

to show their size,
strength and confidence.

They usually do it
as a challenge.

Uh, you're not
challenging me

to a fight are you,
Mr. Roo Boss?

Uh-oh ritual # ,
chest scratching.

Kangaroos usually do this
before a kickboxing match.

Hurry, Martin. I can't stall
the Roo Boss for much longer!

Uh, that's not Hopster.

And that's not Hopster.

That's not Hopster.

It's definitely not
these three, Chris.

Okay, you three,
don't move!

What?
I told you not to move.

Ugh, kangaroos just
don't understand English.

All right, Hopster,
where are you?

Uh, Martin
where are you?

And where are
those keys?

Is that you, Hopster?

No, wait, no!

There you are.

No, that's not him.
No bent ear.

Hopster!

Sorry, Hopster,
but you can't drive yet.

Chris,
I found Hopster,

and I got
our keys!

Woohoo!

Way to go, bro!

That plan worked even
better than I expected! Oof!

Ooof!

(Groaning)

(Whimpering)

(Both babbling)

(Gasping)

CHRIS:
That definitely wasn't
part of the plan.

That roo will have to kick me
a lot harder than that

if he wants
to show me who's boss.

Yeah, Hopster is
a tricky little roo,

but I've got him
all figured out.

Oh, who am I kidding?

Kangaroos have
a serious kick!

Who am I kidding?

Hopster totally
tricked me.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

We catch the first
bus out of here?

No.

We get the kangaroo
discs from Aviva

and use our
Creature Power Suits

to join right in
with the mob.

If we're more roo-like, I can
search the pouches easier,

and you'll be able
to distract Roo Boss

for longer without
getting walloped.

Now you're thinking
what I'm thinking.

Hey, Aviva, come in.

How's that roo software
coming for our suits?

And could you add some

of that extra-thick
kangaroo stomach padding?

Consider it done, C.K.

I can't believe how roos use
their tail as a kickstand

so they can throw a powerful
kick with both feet!

I can.

KOKI:
So here's the update

on the spare Createrra
keys, Brothers Kratt.

Martin lost the first
set in a snowdrift,

Chris lost the second
set in a mud wallow

and the third set was
snatched by a monkey.

Oh, I never saw
that monkey coming.

Lucky that mud wallow
didn't swallow me up too.

JIMMY Z:
Hey, Chris,

you should try this
move if you want to--

(Groaning)

I'm pretty sure
I didn't want to do that.

(Chuckling)

You okay, Mr. Z?

JIMMY Z:
Me?

I'm way fine.

But I think I'll leave
the profession of boxing

to the professionals.
(Crash)

AVIVA:
Okay, Jimmy,

we're ready
to teleport the guys

the kangaroo
inspired discs.

Zippity, zip, zap, pow!

Whoa! Got it!

Okay, so all we
need to do now

is touch a roo and activate
the Creature Power Suits.

I can't wait to get some
real roo kick in these legs.

And I'm so psyched
to ride around in a pouch!

(Laughing)

And find the keys.

Oh, yeah, yeah,
and find the keys, right.

Wish me luck.

Wish me more luck.
I'm up against the Roo Boss.

(Gasping)

Hey, Hopster.

If you won't give
me back the keys,

at least let's high-five
so I can activate my suit!

(Groaning)

Not what I had in--
In mind, but it'll work.

Activate!

♪

Whoa!

Wow!

(Giggling)

Hippity hop!

Hoppity hip!

I got to get used
to my new bouncing legs!

Whoa--

Okay, Roo Boss, ready
to take one for the team.

Right on the button
if you don't mind.

Oof! Activate! Ugh!

(Zapping)

Yep, that's right.

There's a new
red roo in town!

Hang on, Hopster!

Let's go over to your house
and find those keys!

Okay, so how do
you do it?

You lean back
on the tail,

then kick
with both feet.

So all I need to do
is balance myself on it,

then jump in the air and kick
my opponent in the stomach.

Got it.

Whoa!

(Laughing)

I got to get used
to having my own kickstand!

(Footsteps
approaching)

Oh-oh.

I know these kickboxing
matches can last a while,

so I hope he goes
easy on me.

Whoa!

Whew, whoa.

Hooah!

Ugh!

Hah!

(Groaning)

Right, roos also
use their arms

to overtake each other.

But we have the
same arm strength,

so you can't beat me
in an arm wrestle!

I hope.

How's it going
with those keys?

Come on,
please let me in!

I know I'm
not your joey,

but I'm just trying
to find our keys!

Right!

Kangaroos have pouch string
muscles so the mom can decide

when to let the joey
in and out!

No keys here.

Hey, but thanks
for letting me check!

(Grunting)

I'm really nice once you
get to know me, Roo Boss!

Whoa.

Hey, Chris, I'm in!

Oh, it must be nice to have
a cozy little pouch to live in

for the first six
months of your life.

Then the next three months,
you slowly move out.

And way before
your first birthday,

you're pretty much
on your own.

But you still
stay close to Mom

just in case
you're in danger.

Uh-oh.

No, the pouch walls
are closing in.

Oh, please don't toss me!
Please don't toss me!

I know I'm older
than a year,

but I've only been a roo
for a few minutes! Ow!

Ugh!

Oh, well, it was
fun while it lasted.

Hey, Chris,
still no keys on my end!

You hanging
in there?

No worries, bro.

I'm getting this
roo-kickboxing thing down

better than
I thought! Ugh!

Ugh!

Scratch that.

Still need
practice.

(Bird shrieking)

Kangaroo predator!

Martin! Hide!

(Gasping)
You're right!

At the first
sign of danger,

joeys like me head right
to the safety of a pouch.

I better find one fast!

A wedge-tailed eagle!

Pouch, here I come!

(Panting)

Ah!

Oh!

(Eagle squawking)

Look out!

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

I'm going
to save you, bro!

WhWhoa, you really
are a giant.

That must be
an ' wingspan.

Hey, careful
with those curvy talons!

I can only hop '
in the air, bro!

But you're way
higher than that!

Help!

Aviva, come in!

Martin's been snatched
by wedge-tailed eagle!

Where's it taking
him, C.K.?

Just somewhere
peaceful.

Where he can eat him!

(Gasping)

Ow!

Look, I know these talons
are powerful enough

to crush a coconut,

but I'm just a Kratt
in a roo suit,

so could you loosen your
grip a little, Mr. Wedgie?

Guess not, huh?

Hey, I've got
a joke for you.

What did the fake joey say
to the wedge-tailed eagle?

Give up?

"Let go of me!"

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

Slow down, Martin!

Gravity doesn't
work that way!

(Screaming)

Hm.

Activate kangaroo
pouch power.

MARTIN:
Coming in for a crash
landing! Help!

I got you.

I got you!

Nice catch, Chris!

Thanks, Martin.

Couldn't have done it
without my new pouch!

Hm, either the eagle
realized I wasn't a real joey,

or he didn't
like my joke.

Either way, whew!

I'm just glad
you're okay, bro.

It's Hopster
with our keys.

Let's follow him.

Okay, got him
where we want him.

Let's close in on that pouch.
(Rumbling)

Sounds like we're getting
a thunderstorm.

Or not.

(Gasping)

Uh, Martin,
don't male kangaroos

use foot stomping to make
the mob aware of danger?

Yeah, some males
even act as guards

to watch out
for predators.

I hope Mr. Wedgie hasn't
come back to eat me.

(Howling)
Huh?

Wedge-tailed
eagles don't howl.

(Growling)

BOTH:
Dingo!

Danger is right!

Dingoes are the other main
predator of red kangaroos!

MARTIN:
Dingoes might be dogs,

but they're wild dogs

and they have the stamina
to chase red roos

over long distances.

What do we do?

Let's follow the mob
as they dodge the dingo!

Hopefully, they'll know
how to lose this guy!

And maybe
we'll hear the keys

jingling in their
pouches and find them!

Oh, that's the craziest
idea I ever heard.

Hey, but I like
crazy ideas, don't I?

Yep, and what other
choice do we have?

To the key rescue!

Chris, wait up!

I don't have
strong hind legs.

I can't leap
as fast as you!

Oh, yeah.

Joeys aren't as quick
as adult kangaroos.

Hop in!

Was that a jingle?
Negative.

Was that?

Nope, I think
it was my feet

flopping in the pouch.

Hang on, Martin.

Forget about hanging on.
I'm going to hang in!

Kangaroos are faster
than dingoes,

but dingoes have more
stamina and can run longer.

(Howling softly)

MARTIN:
He's gaining on us!

(Metal jingling)

Are you hearing
what I'm hearing?

MARTIN:
Hopster, it's you!

Oh, you're safe!

And we found our keys!

Oh, no,
the Roo Boss is heading

to the waterhole with
the dingo right on his tail!

Let's go!

Believe me,
that Roo Boss is tough.

He'll be okay.

I hope.

(Growling)

Whoa, the Roo Boss is trying
to grab the dingo with his arms.

It looks like he's
trying to dunk him!

(Yelping)

He's overpowering
the dingo

by holding him
underwater!

This is unbelievable!

Kangaroos actually
go to the water

and try to drown dingoes
to defend themselves!

(Whimpering)
MARTIN: He did it, Chris!

The Roo Boss saved
himself from the dingo!

Whoa.

And the dingo
got away!

MARTIN:
But I have a feeling
he won't be back anytime soon.

Way to go, Roo Boss!

Whoa, kangaroos have an
amazing anti-predator defense!

MARTIN:
They're off.

Oh, and so is Hopster
with our keys! Oh!

Yeah, looks like it.

And I'm too tired
to hop home.

Aviva, come in.

We give up and we need
you to pick us up.

And please bring
the towing line

so we can get
the Createrra back to the HQ.

AVIVA:
We're on our way, guys.

Ah!

(Sighing)

I can't believe
we'll never drive

the Createrra VX again.

No more driving as fast
as a roo leaps. Ugh.

No more driving up
mountains on a ° angle.

And the way it handled

itself over rocks
and through streams.

I'm going to miss it.

Not as much as I will.

(Kookaburra "laughing")
(Gasping)

Aviva's horn!
The horn!

In the Createrra!
Createrra!

Somebody's in the Createrra,
Aviva! Hantight!

Hah! It was Hopster
honking it!

(Laughing)

The keys!

Yeah!

See you, buddy!

Aviva, we found
the keys to the Createterra!

Yeah, and after
this adventure,

we're making lots
of extra keys.

(Laughing)

Well, I'm glad that dingo

didn't hurt
the Roo Boss.

Boy, did that roo
have serious kick.

You held him off
pretty good, Chris.

Yeah, I did, didn't I?

Bet you couldn't
take me on, though.

Is that
a challenge, joey boy?

Uh, guys,
the Createrra!

(Kookaburra "laughing")

BOTH:
Oh no!

We may have
found the keys--

But we lost
the Createrra!

(All laughing)

Oh!

Kangaroos have lots
of really cool behaviors

that keep the mob
together and strong.

Yeah, and that kangaroo
kickboxing is serious stuff.

If you're a young joey,

you have to know
exactly what you're doing

if you're ever going
to step into a challenge

with a big male roo.

First,
the challenge posture.

Now to do that,
you stand up all big and tough

as tall as you can,

and then you
scratch your chest.

And that's telling
the other guys, "I'm big,

I'm tough and I'm
ready to take you on."

And if the other kangaroo
takes the challenge,

he approaches his opponent
and the kickboxing match is on.

Both kangaroos stand on their
toes, dancing around

like boxers,
looking for an opening.

The kangaroo uses
his arms and paws

to grapple and grab
at his opponent.

And as a defense,
he leans his head way back

to protect his eyes.

Oh, you're strong!

Look at that chest too, huh?

You got the moves.

(Laughing)

Phew!

The whole time
the kangaroos are looking

for a chance to make those
powerful kicks to the belly.

They lean back on that
tail like a kickstand

and launch
the powerful double kick!

And kangaroos have extra
padding on their bellies

to protect themselves, so they
don't get hurt by the kicks.

Eventually,
a kangaroo will get tired

and decide
he's had enough.

And that's kickboxing
kangaroo style.

(Panting)

Hey, check out my moves!

Pretty good huh?

And that's not
all I've got.

The knockout
double kick!

Uh, Chris, I think he
thinks we want to kickbox.

Oh, no, buddy, we were just
going through the moves.

We weren't challenging
you or anything.

Yeah, we--
We know you're the boss.

We were just
playing around!

(Martin and Chris screaming)

(Both groaning)

(Martin laughing)

Okay, you're the boss.

We give.

(Sighing)

What a wallop.

Kangaroos are definitely
the undisputed

kickboxing champions
of the world.

Oh, yeah.

And a really cool creature!

See you on
the creature trail.

Oh, ho, ho, ho.

Ugh.

Whoo! He really got us.

Oh, yeah.
