Cornelius:
gift pickup!

Neighbourly nice day!
Gift pickup!

Candy cook:
there you go, sweet feet!

My gift is
for giraffeville!

Captain darling:
drop my gift at coconut cove!

Honey pirate:
mine's for the crocodile slogs!

Cornelius:
thank you, everyone!

Gift pickup!

Gift pickup!

Share your labours
with your neighbours!

[Blowing dry]

Chiku:
badou! Watch out for deb!

[Gasps]

Badou:
huh? Ahhhhhhhh!

Whoa! Whoa!

Chiku:
cool, 'bu!
That was coooool!

Badou:
it's all in the reflexes.

Deb mouse:
help me up, badou!

I made a gift
for monkeyville.

It's not too small,
is it?

My papi says,
no matter how small,

All neighbourly
nice day gifts

Grow into big memories.

Did you say monkeyville,
deb?

[Chatters]

Badou:
that's where my gift
is going too!

Mine too!
Which basket is that?

Cornelius:
the monkeyville gifts have
already been picked up.

King babar and zephir
are scheduled to depart

With that shipment
right about... Now.

If you're fast,
you may catch them!

Badou:
don't worry, deb!

Fast is what we do!
C'mon, chiku!

Babar:
we're just about ready here,
captain.

Fire up the engines!

Badou:
papi! Wait!

Babar:
more gifts?

This is the best
neighbourly nice collection

We've ever had.

I see lots
of wonderful memories

Growing from
this year's batch!

Toss 'em in
with the others, kids!

It's all in the reflexes.

[Chuckling]

[Engine sputters]

Chiku:
uh-oh! Sounds like
a busted engine!

You've got a busted engine,
dad!

You're right,
chickadee.

We're gonna need
another blimpliner.

There isn't one.

They're all making deliveries
of their own.

Then how are you going
to deliver the gifts?

Hmm...

We'll take cloud dancer.

Zephir:
we won't make it in time.

Cloud dancer doesn't have
the blimpliner's engines.

Then we'll take
a shortcut...

Through windsong canyon.

[Gasps]
windsong canyon?!

Now wait a monkey minute,
babar!

Babar:
this is my old log book.

I keep a record of
all my flights in here.

Windsong canyon!

Our mapping mission

Was the only time
it's ever been flown.

Badou:
wow, papi!

You must have had thumpin'
quick reflexes

To get through there!

Your papi had
the thumpin'-est!

Of course that
was 50 years ago.

Babar:
fifty?! It seems like yesterday!

But there's a lot
more to flying

Than quick reflexes,
badou.

Chiku:
what does this
black cloud mean?

Babar:
that's the spot
where the winds are trickiest.

They whoosh out of this gap
here at blowy bluffs!

Zephir:
where there's only
a narrow opening

Between the canyon wall
and this grabby old tree!

Badou:
why didn't you use
this side pass?

It takes you right around
blowy bluffs.

Shortcut gorge?

It's too narrow
for cloud dancer.

What do you think,
zephir?

Are we too old
for another adventure?

I'd hate to disappoint
our monkeyville neighbours.

Mm-hm.

Wish us luck,
children.

We should be back in time

For the neighbourly
nice day dance.

Chiku:
[giggles] flying sure does get
your papi's ears a'flapping.

Yeah!

[Gasps]

Chiku:
what? What is it, 'bu?

Your papi fell out
of the balloon!

Chiku, if he fell out
back then,

When his reflexes
were good,

What'll happen this time?

Your dad's right.
My papi's a lot older now.

Badou:
nits and gnats!
We're too late!

What can we do, 'bu?

Badou:
it looks like my papi fell out
near blowy bluffs.

Where the winds
are trickiest!

We need to make sure
they can get past that spot!

I have an idea
that might work.

Windsong canyon
dead ahead!

Here we go,
old friend.

[Wind howls]

Hey! Watch your tail!

Oops! Sorry!

Whooah!!
Chiku!

Badou! Help!

[Giggles]

Badou:
quit fooling around.

We gotta get to blowy bluffs
before my papi!

Whoa!

Babar:
I guess I'm a little rusty!

Badou:
there! Blowy bluffs!



Show-off.

[chuckles]

[Wind gusts]

Chiku:
time for operation
back breeze!

Badou:
do you think it'll work?

Chiku:
if we pedal really hard,

The wind from the fan
should cancel

The one blowing
through the gap there!

Badou:
and my papi and your dad

Will be able to sail
right on by.

Chiku:
here they come!
Pedal fast! Pedal fast, 'bu!

[Wind gusts]

Babar:
here's where it gets tricky.

Zephir, take the controls!

Zephir:
be careful, babar!

Badou:
we're not stopping
the wind!

We gotta go even faster!

[Gasps]

Huh?

Whoa!

Papi didn't fall!
It wasn't a mistake!

He meant to do that!

Do what?
What did he do, 'bu?

We're in position!

Let her go!

[Panting]

Chiku:
keep pedalling or...

Whaaaaa!

Chiku:
the gifts!

Badou:
don't worry, papi!
We can get 'em!

Babar:
badou! Wait!

Where did they
come from?

There it is, 'bu!
Over there!

It looks stuck
in those rocks.

Okay, if we go
really fast

And grab it with something
as we zoom by,

We can yank it free!

I can grab it
with my tail!

Zephir:
we're right over the gifts!

Badou is backing off.

Smart boy!

Badou:
ready? Let's go go go!

Zephir:
to the right! Got it!
Okay, now pull!

Ungh!

Whoo hoo!
Yay!

Papi got to it first!

[Gasps]

We're gonna lose
some gifts!

Got it!

yes!

The kids saved them!

Chiku:
we did it!

Great flying!
Great flying, 'bu!

It's all in the-
whaaaaa!

We're moving to fast!
Pull up!

Badou:
we're too heavy!

[Grunts]

Let's not ever do
that again, okay?

Babar:
would you two mind
explaining

Why you made such
a dangerous trip?

We found this photo
of you falling

And thought we could help

In case you made
the same mistake again.

But now we know
you did it on purpose!

[Laughing]

Fifty years ago,
I didn't.

I fell out
when the wind hit.

Really?

whoa!

But that helped
your papi figure out

How to get past
blowy bluffs.

The trick is to learn
from the mistakes you make.

Going fast through all
those rocks down there

Was a mistake.

I almost crashed.

I had to drop the tires
to lighten the load.

So quick reflexes
weren't enough?

No, sir.

What I needed was
some quick thinking.

[Chuckles]
like papi, like prince!

[Laughing]

Chiku:
monkeyville!
Monkeyville-ho!

Badou:
neighbourly nice day gifts away!

Chiku: whaaaaa!
Zephir: chiku!

[Chuckles]
I guess we'll drop in
on some relatives.

Chiku:
[laughs]

See you in a couple days,
badou!

Happy neighbourly nice day,
chiku!

Papi...

Are you mad?

Well, you won't be flying
a zoomerblimp

For a good while.

But looking out
for your papi...

That was a pretty nice gift.

Time to go home...
By the long route.

[Laughs]

That was quite an adventure
for an old elephant.

You may be old,

But you're still pretty
tusktastic.

[Laughs]

Badou:
papi? Happy neighbourly
nice day.

Babar:
happy neighbourly nice day
to you too, badou.

[Insects drone]

Badou and jake:
woo-hooo!

Badou:
wildebeast wallow
dead ahead.

Andi sure picked
a great place

For a picnic party.

I brought spink weed
sandwiches

With toad drool dressing
to share!

Jake, I think you're
the only one on the planet

Who likes that stuff!

[Laughing]

Where's andi?

Probably getting ready
to pounce on us

With his "whaaaaazup?"

Andi:
guys! Over here! Quick!

Badou:
andi, what's wrong?!

Aw, I was climbing over
these boulders

And I slipped.

My paw is caught,
you know.

Does it hurt?

Nah! Nah!
I mean, not much.

I mean, I laugh
at the owchie stuff.

Ha! Ha, ha, ha!
[Grunts in pain]

Ungh!

Badou:
here.

Unnngghhh!

Whaaaaa! Oof!

Whoa! Badou ba-dunk!

Whoa! Oof!

Nits and gnats!

We're gonna have
to get some help

To get you free.

[Skid to a halt]

Come on!

Jake:
andi, do you want my sandwich?

Oof! Thanks, jake.

But, uh... Whoa!

You must be the only dude
on the planet

Who likes that stuff!

Badou:
don't worry, andi,
we'll be back really soon!

Me? Worried?

Puh-lease!

[Chuckles]

Cornelius:
ambassador crocodylus

Recommends we dig a moat
around the palace.

Equipped with a swim-up
spink weed salad bar,

No doubt.

[Honking]

Badou:
whaaaaa!

Aie!

[Giggles]

Babar:
safety over speed,
badou.

Sorry, papi,

But andi got his paw caught
in some rocks

At the old wildebeast wallow.

He said it wasn't owchie,

But I think it was!

Hmm...

Doctor capoulosse is taking care
of a sick chimp in monkeyville.

Cornelius:
perhaps my days
as an old army medic

Will help here.

We have to go now, papi!

Gather what you need,
cornelius.

We'll leave as soon
as you're ready.

[Inhales deeply]

We gotta go, go, go!

It's only been
a few minutes, 'bu.

Babar:
and when dealing
with an emergency,

It's best to pack wisely.

Splints, bandages...

Shovels, tools,
canteens.

Badou:
canteens?

Papi,
he's at wildebeast wallow!

There's water there!

There's an old
traveller's saying, badou.

"Starting a quest?
That's when planning is best."

And another one that goes,

"Too quick to travel
and the journey unravels!"

Jake and I will
go on ahead

And watch andi

While you catch up,
okay, papi?

Babar:
just remember, badou!

Safety over speed.

[Thunk]

Jake:
ungh!

Don't tire yourself out,
'bu!

Badou:
don't worry!
We'll be there soon.

[Sniffs]

[Panting]

Maybe pedaling...
At full speed...

Wasn't the best plan.

Then slow down.

[Sniffing]

Whaaaaa!

Whaaaaa! Hyena!

Why is she chasing us?
Is she trying to get us?

I don't know!

There's never been
a hyena here

On the great grass sea
before!

Get to andi!
Andi will protect us!

He'll scare her off!

Right!
No, wrong!

He's trapped by the rocks,
remember!

He's defenseless.

Jake:
what are you doing?!

Badou:
leading the hyena away
from our friend!

[Badou panting]

Thirsty... Shoulda brought...
A canteen...

Hurry, 'bu!
We're losing ground!

Got an idea!

Let's make it...
Tough to follow us!

You lost her!

Badou:
thumpin'!

Now we can... [Panting]
circle back to andi and-

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Ooooof! Owww!

Maybe coming this way...
Wasn't the best plan.

Jake:
stinkies!
Can you fix it, 'bu?

Badou:
guess we shoulda brought
some tools!

[Hyena laughs]

What are we gonna do?

Ruuuuun!

[Grunts,
stomach growls]

Ungh!

Ungh!

That is so not cool.

[Sighs]
where are those little dudes?

Ungh!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Nits and gnats!

Both:
oof!

Windsong canyon!

I must have got turned around
in all the rocks

And led us the wrong way.

We shoulda brought a map.

What are we gonna do?

Maybe the hyena won't
follow us in there.

[Hyena laughs]

Nits and gnats!
Let's uh...

Both:
ruunnn!

[Panting]

Whaaaaa!

Whoooooaaaaa!

Jake, look!

If I can bring
that boulder down,

It'll close
the path behind us

And the hyena won't be
able to get by!

That's a pretty
big rolly rock, 'bu.

Do you really think
you should-

Ungh!

Whoa!

[Rumbling]

Jake, I think we should-

I know. Run!



Aye!

[Gasps]
in here!

Agh!

Jake:
so maybe trying
to close off the pass...

Badou:
wasn't the best plan,
I know.

Ungh!

[Hyena laughs]

You know what, 'bu?

This isn't a bad
little cave.

We could hang out here
for a bit.

[Gasps]

Whaaaaa!

Well, this sure is
a goofy place for a picnic.

Uh... A picnic?

[Chuckles]
yeppers!

You was in such a hurry

And you had such
tasty smelling food...

I figured you was on your way
to a picnic.

I looooove picnics,
no foolin'!

Badou:
tasty smelling food?

Jake:
do you mean
my spink weed sandwich?

With toad drool dressing,
right?

All this time,

You were tracking
jake's sandwich?

Ha! See, 'bu?

I'm not the only one
on the planet

With good taste!

Guess not.

I'm badou.
This is jake.

I'm hoot, no foolin'.

Nice to meet you,
hoot.

Uh, we weren't having
a picnic.

We kinda got stuck in here
by mistake.

Think you can help us
get out?

Hoot:
I don't know.

Looks like the boulder
is sunk down into the sand

At the top of the slope.

We're just like andi's paw,
stuck between two rocks!

We shoulda packed
some shovels.

Hey! That's it.

Hoot? Can you dig away
some of the sand

At the base of the boulder?

Maybe we can tip
this big rock.

[Laughs]
yeppers, badou!

Sounds like a plan,
no foolin'.

Okay! Puuuuush!

Unnnggghhhhhhhh!

Nits and gnats!

We need more weight at the top
to get it rolling.

Unnnggghhh!

[Rock rumbles]

Badou:
whaaaaa!

Oof!

[Sighs]

Hoot! [Gasps]

[laughs]

We have to get
to wildebeast wallow.

Our friend andi is there
and he's hurt.

Hoot:
andi? [Laughs]

Do you mean dandy andi
the lion?

He's a good friend
of ours.

Andi's a legend!
Let's go, no foolin'!

[Laughs]

Unnnggghhh!

Babar:
hmm.

Well, so much for
a first attempt.

We'll have to come up
with another plan.

Well, here are the wayward
adventurers.

I was just about to come
searching for you.

Sorry, papi.

We made an unexpected
side trip...

And a new friend.

Hoot, this is my-

Andi?
[Laughs excitedly]

Are you really dandy andi?
No foolin'?

A new friend is always
worth the trip.

Hoot:
[gasps and laughs]

Oh, your poor paw!

What are we waiting for,
badou? Jake?

Let's get him outta here!



Badou:
papi, cornelius, puuuuull!

Unnnnngggghhhhh!

Wha?

Woo-hooooo!
[Laughs]

Thanks, dudes!

Oh, and to my new
dudette friend...

Whaaaaazup!

[Laughs]

Oh wow! Oh gee!

I can't believe you guys
is friends with andi!

You're almost as famous
as babar,

King of the elephants!

Oh, sweetie-pie,

You're in
for a real treatie-pie.

[Gasps]

No foolin'?

Hoot:
so we dig a hole

And the boulder rolls
and here we are!

Badou:
it would have been a lot easier
if we had packed shovels...

And a map...

And tools to fix
the stampeder...

And a canteen.

"Starting a quest,
that's when planning is best!"

Oh, yuppers!

And "too quick to travel,

And the journey unravels!"

[Laughs]

"Before crossing the savanna,
you should make a planna!"

All:
[laughing]

Now, how about some dinner?

Cornelius,
what did we bring?

Cornelius:
ah, in our haste,
great heart,

It appears we didn't pack
any food.

I have spink weed
sandwiches!

With toad drool dressing!

Don't worry, papi.
I've got it covered.

Excellent job.

No foolin'!

[Laughing]
