[eagle screeches]

So hot. Need water. Ugh.

Oh!

Much better.

Awesome job planning

the company retreat, Jan-Jan.

It is my pleasure.

Come on, man!

You're just gonna

let her stand there

without a cucumber club soda?

Ha-ha. I knew I picked

the right seven-year-old kid

to run my multibillion-dollar

corporation.

Are you kidding me?

I love being a CEO!

Miss Jan-Jan,

can we all get

full body massages?

Of course! Put it

on the company card.

[dings]

Can I buy this

useless snow-globe?

Put it on the company card.

[dings]

- Puca shell necklaces?

- Company card.

[dings]

- All this shrimp?

- Company card.

[dings]

- These dolphins?

- Company card.

- This resort?

- Put it on the company card!

[buzzes]

I'm sorry, Miss Jan-Jan,

your last transaction

could not be completed.

What? Impossible. Try it again.

[buzzing]

This just in.

CEO Jan-Jan has

bankrupted Cheetara Corp.

The once powerful company has

been purchased by Baron Karnor,

and all of its assets now

belong to Karnor Industries.

Including me!

[clears throat] Are we rolling?

[squawking]

Oh [laughs nervously]

Okay. Nobody panic.

Everything will be fine

as long as we have

the company credit card.

I already told you your card

has been declined.

[slurps]

Also declined. [groans]

- Oh, what now? Uh-oh.

- [gargoyles squawking]

Oh, that's not good.

No. No!

Don't worry, terrified employee.

I'll save you.

[grunts] I'll save you.

I'll save you. I'll save you.

Oh, no,

I can't save any of you!

Hey! Get outta here!

[squawking]

Those are our dolphins.

Hey, that shrimp belongs

to Cheetara Corp.

This is all my fault.

Jan-Jan, what are you doing?

I lost the company!

I give up, gargoyles,

take me away!

[gasps] No.

Oh, no, you don't.

You're not allowed to give up.

We aren't about

to let our company

get snatched out from under us

by some big corporate bully!

I was thinking

I'd just go back

to being seven years old.

You know,

running a business isn't

Stop right there!

Whatever you were

gonna say is wrong.

Running our business

is everything.

Now, we're gonna march right

into Baron Karnor's offices

and take our company back.

- Jan-Jan!

- I'm not Jan-Jan.

I'm a fountain.

[groans] Come on, let's go.

[splutters]

But Cheetara,

Karnor's tower is located

in the deepest,

darkest part of the jungle!

And I hear

he's a real mean dude.

Come on. Being a CEO

isn't all about spending money

and riding dolphins.

Sometimes you're gonna need

to get out there and rough it.

Ugh! That wasn't

in orientation!

Was this in orientation?

[gasps] Emergency

business supplies?

That's right. Now let's go

risk our lives for the company.

[pop music playing]

They fight hard

For the company♪

So hard for it, honey♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

A real boss

Should risk their life!♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

By fighting a cobra♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

Sometimes a stapler

Is a knife♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

Escaping a cobweb♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

A real boss

Will win the fight!♪

[Cheetara humming]

[straining]

[panting]

Oh, yeah. Now that's climbing

the corporate ladder.

[thuds]

And that's just

sitting in dirt.

Jan-Jan, what's wrong?

I don't know

if I can keep going.

When I signed up to be a CEO,

I didn't realize it would involve

so much climbing and jumping.

Jan-Jan, this is no time

for that kind of talk.

Now chop-chop, we've got

a Baron to out-business.

[both] Closed?

Hmm.

[rumbling]

[both] Whoa.

Karnor must be one tough CEO

if he works

in a big old evil tower.

Respect.

- Appointment?

- [both screaming]

"Appointment?"

- How about you appoint

- Wait, I got this.

Just tell your boss the CEOs

of Cheetara Corp are here.

Don't you need to, uh,

pick up the phone or something?

Appointment?

Appointment? Appointment?

Appointment?

We don't have an appointment!

[buzzes]

[both screaming]

Uh, what is this place?

Aah! That's it!

I can't do this anymore.

I resign as acting CEO

of Cheetara Corp.

No job is worth getting sent

to a creepy dungeon,

unless your job is

creepy dungeon janitor.

Huh? Aw!

What are you so scared of?

It's just the HR department.

Aah! Cycloptopus!

I've been getting a lot of

complaints about you two.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. [screaming]

Jan-Jan!

[screaming]

I'll deal with you later.

No. Aah! Cheetara!

[grunting]

Jan-Jan, my protege,

I'm coming for you.

That was a warning.

If you don't stop

trying to run,

we're gonna have to

terminate you!

[evil laughter]

Sorry, I think I'm gonna go

over your head on this.

Huh?

- [muffled grunting]

- [Jan-Jan screaming]

- Cheetara!

- [gasps]

[gasps] Jan-Jan! Hang on,

little CEO, I'm coming.

Well, at least no monsters

can get me in Huh?

Mail! [screaming]

Uh-oh. Whoa. Whoa!

Ha-ha.

That's fine.

I needed a trim anyway.

[screaming]

Gotcha.

I'm so sorry, Jan-Jan.

I should have never put you

in this dangerous scenario.

- Cheetara

- No. No, I mean it.

Jan-Jan, you're a kid.

You're supposed to be

having fun, not working.

Wait. But Cheetara

No, it's true. You are.

And, well,

if you don't wanna be

my business partner anymore,

that's cool.

I totally understand.

You're still my bud

no matter what.

Wow, I guess I deserve that.

Cheetara, thanks

for the kind words.

But we're kind of in the middle

of an office full of gargoyles.

[phone ringing]

[squawking]

Jan-Jan, stay back here.

I'll go save the company.

No. We'll save

our company. Together.

I'm acting CEO, and it's time

I start acting like it.

[dramatic music playing]

- Let's fight for our company.

- Yeah!

[squawking]

They fight hard

For the company♪

So hard for it, honey♪

They fight hard

For the company♪

A real boss

Should risk their life♪

Unpaid interns?

I've got this.

Free bagels!

[squawking]

Those guys can fly, right?

Yeah, I wouldn't

worry about it.

There it is.

Baron Karnor's office.

All right, let's give

this evil CEO

[both screaming]

[both groan]

- Oh, no!

- You two again.

Prepare to be crushed

for insubordination!

[both grunting]

Huh?

[beeping]

Okay! That's quittin' time.

Have a good one now!

Oh, and if you wanna get back

up to Karnor's office,

just take the CEO tube.

[both] Oh, okay, thanks!

No problem.

And sorry about the whole

"trying to crush you

out of existence" thing.

You know how it is.

We totally get it. It's

[all] Just business!

[both] Whoa!

Yeah!

All right, let's show Baron

Karnor what we're made of.

[both grunt]

So, this is

Baron Karnor's office?

Yep. And there he is.

Let's get him.

Say goodbye to your company,

you soulless

corporate overlord!

We're taking Cheetara Corp back

because last time I checked,

you're not named Cheetara.

Or Jan-Jan.

Hello? Can you hear us?

Uh, ripping you apart, dude.

[both] Whoa!

[bone cracks]

He doesn't look so good.

[fly buzzing]

[sniffs] Yeah, these bones

are pretty old.

I think he's been skeleton

for a while.

Baron Karnor must have

set up his business

so it just kept running

and acquiring assets

even after he went

all bones-up.

Maybe there really are

more important things in life

than running a business.

Like, you know, living.

You know

what this means, Jan-Jan?

I sure do!

It means some pile of bones

thought he could just

steal my business from me!

Well, think again, skele-dork!

[flies buzzing]

I declare everything here

now part of Cheetara Corp!

Boom! CEO!

I knew I picked

the right seven-year-old

to run my multibillion-dollar

corporation.

[Jan-Jan] Company card!

Gimme that! Endless luxury.

There's a $10 limit.

Boom! Responsible CEO.

In your face, Karnor.

[both laughing]

They fight hard

For the company ♪

So hard for it, honey ♪

[fly humming] Oh! Me?
