Did I grow? Did I grow?

[ Gloria grunts ]

You're a notch and a half
taller than last month.

- I knew my hooves felt farther away!
- You're next, Gloria.

[ Gloria grunts ]

Almost half a notch taller!

That makes me a half
a notch more glorious.

Your turn, Marty.

Marty, you grew three
quarters of a notch!

That's what I'm talking about!

- It's Alex's turn! Where is he?
- I'm right here! Come on over.

Uh, okay.

Let's do this!

- Huh? Alex!
- You're ten notches taller than last month!

- Wait a second, let me take a look.
- Uh! Whoa. He's right!

That's what happens when a
growing lion takes care of himself

and gets plenty
of naps every day.

It's also what happens when
that same lion uses stilts.

- What? Where did these come from?
- Uh! Uh!

Uh...

- Mm-mm-mm.
- How could you stoop so low?

Well, he did shrink
half a notch!

- I shrunk half a notch?
- How's that even possible?

- Did you cheat last time?
- Oh. Yeah.

[ Snoring ]

[ Yawns ]

Pew.

[ Shivers ]

Mm. Huh?

[ Grunts ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

Morning, cutie patootie!

Oh, looks like it's time for
that little-giraffe blanket

to be replaced with a
big-giraffe blanket.

I don't know what
Kate's talking about.

My little-giraffe blanket
fits me perfectly!

[ Shivers ]

- Come on, Melman!
- It's time to get out of bed.

[ Yawns ]

Your fangs are looking
fang-tastic, Alex.

Marty, time to get
your gargle on!

There, Gloria,
clean as a whistle!

Alright, Melman.

Let's get a closer look
at those sparkly teeth.

- Yahoo!
- Whoa, there, Melman!

I think you're getting a
little too big for me to carry.

But you'll never be
too big for me to hug.

Or for me to floss your teeth!
Let's see those chompers.

Ah.

Uh! Your first loose tooth!

Oh! Guess this proves you're not
my little giraffe anymore, are you?

I can't wait to tell Carlos
the good news! Carlos!

Your first loose tooth!

- Congrats, Melman!
- You never forget your first tooth!

How does it feel to be
one of the big kids?

I don't wanna be a big kid.

I wanna be Kate's favorite
little giraffe forever.

Don't worry. Kate will love
you no matter how big you get.

We've all lost teeth, and
she still loves us the same.

- I guess.
- Losing your first tooth is exciting.

You get to leave it under
your mat for the Tooth Fairy.

- And she'll bring you a special surprise!
- Really?

- What do you think she'll bring me?
- There's only one way to find out.

- We gotta get that tooth out.
- I've got an idea!

All I need is a bit
of string and a ball.

- I found some yarn.
- Will that work?

- That'll do!
- Hm. What about this tennis ball?

Perfect! Thanks!

We'll tie one end of the
string around your tooth.

- Ah.
- And the other around the tennis ball.

Then we'll throw the ball and
that tooth will come right out.

And the pitcher winds up, looks
like he's gonna throw the heat.

Wait, I'm not ready! Ah!

[ Scream ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh! Uh!

How about we try something else? You
could try biting into this apple!

And if you're still nervous,

try looking at something
else to distract you.

- Good idea, Gloria.
- I'll just focus on, oh,

Kate's favorite pictures of
her favorite animals, us!

Ah, the good old days, when I was
a young, adorable, uh! Kitten?

What is that picture
doing on Kate's computer

with all the pictures of us?

- Aw, you know Kate.
- She loves animals.

Especially cute little ones.

And I'm getting less
littler every minute! Wait.

Does this mean when I lose my
tooth and turn into a big giraffe,

she'll replace me with
that littler, cuter kitten?

I doubt that, Melman.

It's probably just a
random kitten she met once.

- Yeah. Maybe.
- But then why did she take its picture?

- Just look at it, it's adorable!
- Gloria, not helping.

- C'mon, Melman.
- You could never be replaced.

KATE: I'm headin' out early,
Carlos! I'll see you tomorrow.

- Kate's coming!
- We gotta get out of here.

Ah! Uh! Oh, no! My tooth!

- Melman, come on!
- I've got eyes on Kate, she's almost here!

But-but-but-but-but!

- Oh! All habitats inspected!
- Wait, what happened here?

I need to get my tooth back!

He's right, the Tooth Fairy won't
leave him a surprise without it.

- Forget the fairy!
- I'm sticking that tooth where it belongs.

Right back in my mouth.

Aren't you just a little curious

about what the Tooth
Fairy would bring you?

Nope. All that matters is that I
stay Kate's favorite little giraffe.

I'm still on team Tooth Fairy, but
if that's what you really want.

We just need to get your
tooth out of Kate's backpack.

MELMAN: You mean that backpack,
leaving on her back right now?

We've gotta go after her.

You're the baby!

[ Dave chatters ]

No, I'm not the baby,
you're the baby!

Gloria, you can see who the
real baby is here, can't you?

Honestly? You're both wearing
diapers, so I'm stumped.

- What's your point?
- And what's your payment?

Uh, just an old blanket.

Who wants an old,
soft, cuddly blanket?

Amiright? Mm...

Uh! She's heading
into the library.

KATE: Hmm.

Hiya, Kate! Here's that book
I told you about last week.

"One Hundred Cutest
Baby Animals."

Aww! I can't wait to read it!

She's gonna love it so much, she
won't have any love left for me.

- Relax, Melman. It's only a book.
- Yeah, could be worse.

At least it's not a
real live baby animal.

[ Baby giggling ]

Oh! Look at that
cute little baby!

Spoke too soon.

Those are the cutest
cheeks I've ever seen.

You also have excellent cheeks.

They'll be even better when I
have my tooth back inside them.

[ Baby giggling ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

So precious!

- She's distracted!
- I'm comin' for ya, Mr. Tooth.

[ Melman hums ]

[ Giggles ]

There it is!

BOTH: Huh?

- Hm. Weird!
- Where did this come from?

I'll put it back on the shelf.

- Thanks for the book!
- You're welcome!

Hmm, I'm starting to feel like
I'll never get my tooth back.

- Don't give up, Melman.
- We'll get it back.

And when we do, look who'll
come pay you a visit!

- Wow! It's the Tooth Fairy!
- Isn't she beautiful?

She's just how I pictured her!

She looks like a
perfectly nice fairy,

but I don't plan on
meeting her any time soon.

"Mission: Get tooth back
in mouth" is still on!

Aw, who do we have here?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Barks ]

I see you've met the
Cupcake Bee's mascot, Poppy.

Isn't she a cutie patootie?

[ Groans ]

Ooh, she's so sweet
I might eat her up!

Well, you're in luck
because you can!

These are our new Poppy Cakes.

Oh! They're adorable!

Mm! Mm! And delicious!

Creative choice, but kitty cakes
would have been cuter, right?

- But what about giraffe cakes?
- Pss, Melman, over there!

MELMAN: Huh?

Now, that's your chance
to grab the tooth!

We'll be your lookout.

Uh, oh-oh!

[ Barking ]

[ Melman gasps ]

BIANCA: What is it, Poppy?

It looks like she's trying
to tell us something.

She must've just seen a pigeon.

Good girl, Poppy.

- Thanks, Bi.
- I gotta go, it's Tuesday,

so you know what that means, I'm
having Pete's Pizza for dinner!

Mm-mm! Tell Pete I said hi!

Huh!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Grunting and panting ]

- Let's move it!
- Move it where?

- We're going to Pete's Pizza.
- Pizza time!

- To find Kate.
- Oh, yeah, totally.

That's where we were
going with that.

- Ant'ney!
- Uh! Hiya, g*ng!

What brings you to Pete's Pizza,
home of the extra crusty crusts?

- Well, Melman's tooth fell out.
- And landed in Kate's backpack.

So we've been following her to
help Melman get its tooth back.

Of Course! So you can leave
it for the Tooth Fairy!

No! So I can put it back in my mouth
and stay a little giraffe forever.

I dunno what you're talkin' about,
But I'm in! So, where's Kate?

She said she was coming to
Pete's Pizza to eat her dinner!

- No one eats dinner here.
- Pete's is delivery only.

- Oh, no! Delivery?
- Then how are we going to find Kate?

Hmm. I think I've got an idea.

Next up, Sophia! Small

- Tell Kate hi for me!
- Did you call my name, boss?

Hey, Sophia! Huh?



that's three doors down
from the noodle bar

and four doors up from the deli!

- Good luck, Melman.

I hope you find your tooth!

That was awesome!

We should be professional

Maybe just stick to acting.

- Zebra stripes?
- This has got to be Kate's apartment.

I always knew she
had great taste.

- Here goes nothing.
- Wait!

- Ah?
- Uh!

- Millie!
- You'll never guess who's at the door.

- Oh, Murray, move out of the way.
- Murray!

Murray! MURRAY: Millie!

MILLIE: Pineapple pizza?

What kinda New Yorker
puts pineapple in pizza?

Must be for Kate. Third floor!

Phew!

Now, this looks like the place!

[ Sighs ]

- Hiya, Sophia. Come on in.
- We're in! That was easy.

Oh, don't mind me.

I'm reading the sweetest
book about baby animals.

- More baby animals?
- Give me a break!

- Now, what do we do?
- I have an idea.

- Thanks, Sophia!
- See you next week!

Good thinking, Gloria.

Now let's find that tooth
and get out of here.

Hmm...

Uh! The kitten from
Kate's computer!

She lives here? Oh, no.
Kate's already replaced me!

Don't jump to conclusions,
Melman, she's just, uh!

Huh?

[ Meows ]

- A cutie-wootie!
- Not you, too!

KATE: Aww, Lemon, did you
wake up from your nap?

GLORIA: Melman, hide!

[ Meows ]

- Move over, Lemon, it's pizza night!
- Lemon? Even her name is cute.

[ Meows ]

- Ugh! She's taunting me!
- She knows she's Kate's new favorite.

- I'm sure that's not true, Melman.
- Yeah, she's just being friendly.

- ALEX: Hey, look, Kate's backpack!
- Yes!

The tooth mission's back on!

[ The g*ng grunts ]

Uh! Lemon, did you
hear something?

♪

[ meows ]

Uh!

[ Meows ]

A-ha! It's time to get you back
where you belong, Mr. Tooth.

And time for me
to get outta here.

up there, Lemon? Uh!

[ Meows ]

[ Meows ]

[ Gasps ]

Oh, no!

Uh!

Phew! That was close. You need
to be more careful, kitty!

[ Sighs ]

You're pretty cute, aren't you?

[ Sighs ]

Looks like "Mission: Get tooth
back in mouth" is a big ol' bust.

That was really
kind of you, Melman.

You sacrificed your
tooth to save Lemon.

It's what Kate would've done.

I guess if Kate
had to replace me

with a cuter, littler,
smushy-faced animal,

you seem like a
pretty good choice.

- Aww, that's so sweet.
- Come on, we gotta go!

♪

[ meows ]

[ Sighs ]

I know you're sad about losing your
tooth, but Kate's always gonna love you.

Yeah! Even if you
lose 100 teeth.

- Wait, that can happen?
- But I've only got 32 of them!

C'mon, I bet you'll feel
like your old Melman self

once we're back
home in the habitat.

Thanks, but I don't think
I belong there anymore.

- What do you mean?
- Kate said it herself.

Losing my first baby tooth means
I'm not a little giraffe anymore.

It's time for me to pack my stuff
and move to the big giraffe habitat.

Who's gonna tell him there aren't
any other giraffes in the zoo?

- Goodbye, banyan tree.
- Goodbye, thatched hut.

Goodbye, bamboo fence.

Melman, you really
don't have to do this.

On the contrary, Martin.

It's time for me to be
an independent giraffe,

now that I'm all grown up.

Did he just call me Martin?

But we're all older than
you, and we still live here.

- Nevertheless, Gloria!
- It is time for me to depart.

- It has been a pleasure.
- Kate's here!

Come on, Melman.

You can't leave now,
Kate's about to tuck us in!

- Very well, Alexander.
- One last Goodnight Song couldn't hurt.

But after that, I'm off.

- Hiya, g*ng!
- I missed you today.

Melman, I have a special surprise for you.
It's your brand-new big giraffe blanket!

[ Sighs ]

I stitched your old, little
blanket into it, right here.

[ Melman sighs ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

I knew you'd like it.

[ Kate humming ]

- See, Melman?
- Kate's always gonna love you.

Yeah! I'm sure
Lemon's just a phase.

[ Groans ]

Ya know, like, a
life-long phase.

Kate probably just made this
as a going away present,

since I'm being replaced
and all. I'll stay tonight.

But in the morning,
I'm moving on.

Come on, let's tuck it in.

Melman! Your tooth fell out!

We'll have to leave it
under your bamboo mat

for the Tooth Fairy.

Huh, that's strange.
It's not here.

Where could that tooth
have gone running off to?

Huh. Oh, well, I have a
feeling the Tooth Fairy

might just pay you a visit
anyway. Goodnight, buddy.

[ Yawns ]

[ Yawns ]

Ooh! My last morning
in the habitat.

Goodbye, bamboo mat.
Goodbye, big-giraffe blanket.

Goodbye, firetruck.

Uh! A firetruck!
Where'd that come from?

[ Imitates truck ]

I gotta tell the
g*ng! Alex, Marty!

- Ooh! What is it, Melman?
- The Tooth Fairy came! She really came!

- She is so reliable.
- I like that in a fairy.

What's going on?

- The Tooth Fairy left me a firetruck!
- I've been wanting one forever!

I knew my girl
would come through!

If I'd known the Tooth Fairy would
bring me cool stuff like this,

I would've been much more excited
about losing my baby teeth.

Seriously?

That's what we've been
trying to tell you!

- Hush! Kate's coming!
- Good morning, A Little Wild!
