[Deepa]

The Elephantelope!



[Anoop trumpeting steadily]

[giggling]

[trumpeting]

Ah!

You can open your eyes now, Anoop!

[giggling]

[Deepa giggling]

[trumpeting]

[trumpeting]

Huh?

[trumpeting]

You found me! [laughing]

The hide 'n' dress up master!

[trumpeting]



Time for me to dress up



some more while you hide!



[trumpeting]

[laughing]



I'm coming to find you



on the count of three.



One, two…

Cam Spotter here!



Adventurer



and mystery creature investigator.





Excited to check in to



this new, fascinating environment.



Namaste, Mr. Cam Spotter.

Welcome to Mango Manor.



A flower garland



for our new guest.



Thank you!



Say, I've never seen



a creature like you before.





The wings suggest



you could be a pixie…



A pixie?

Of course not.

Pixies don't have antennae.

How about a gnome?



But gnomes don't have



wings or antennae.



I'm Deepa, a human girl!

Oh! Of course.

I would've figured that out.

Eventually.



How do you know so much



about pixies and gnomes?





I travel the world in search



of mysterious creatures



that most people think aren't real.

I even have photographic proof.

That's a merman.



And there's no mistaking the smell



of the Purple-Horned Skuzzlewort.



Whew!

[giggling]

That's so cool! But…

They're kinda hard to see.

[sighing]

Whenever I try to snap a photo,

I get so excited, my hands wobble,

and it ruins the picture.

I know just what to do!

Come on!

Here you go!



All guests get Naani-ji's famous



welcome mango lassi and ladoos.



Thank you very much!

What a charming garden.

[slurping]

Ooh! Dragon's dimples!

Do you see that?

[gasping]

[gasping] Keep it together, Cam.

Oh, that's just--

--the Elephantelope!

Elepha-what-what?



It seems that Mango Manor is home



to the rarest of creatures!



The Elephantelope.



It's an elephant with



the antlers of an antelope.



You think Anoo--

I mean, the creature outside--

is an Elephantelope?

It has to be!



This is a once-in-a-lifetime



opportunity!





Deepa, will you be my guide as we track



the great Elephantelope?



Sure! Of course I'll help.



Why don't you go get your gear



and I'll meet you back here!



Back in a flash!

Anoop…

[trumpeting]

We're gonna play a new game!



Our guest thinks



you're a wild Elephantelope.



[trumpeting]

An Elephantelope.



It's because of



your dress-up antlers.



[trumpeting]

Just pretend that you're an Elephantelope,



and we'll try to find you



and take a picture.





It'll be the best game



of hide 'n' dress-up ever!



[trumpeting]

Remember, you're not an Anoop.

You're an Elephantelope!

[trumpeting]

Once I get a picture,



I will finally prove



the Elephantelope of Mango Manor is real!



I think you're mistaken, Mr. Spotter.



I've never even heard



of an Ele-wella--



The Elephantelope, Mama!



And it's super difficult



to photograph…



but I know just what to do!

Ah, yes. Of course.



Have fun,



and good luck with the search!



[laughing] Oh, Deepa.



The backyard is the Elephantelope's



favorite stomping grounds.





-See?



-Whoo-hoo!



Stomp prints!

[gasping] The Elephantelope!

Uh-oh, stay calm, Cam Spotter.

Oh, who am I kidding?



That's the most amazing



creature I've seen!



Whoops!

[gasping] You startled the Elephantelope!

You better get a picture of him now!

Ooh!

[clicking] I got the shot!

I got the shot!



[sighing]



I only got its hindquarters.





Don't worry, we won't give up until we get



a perfect picture of the Elephantelope!



Any sign of him?



It's like the Elephantelope



is too good at hiding!



[trumpeting quietly]

Did you make that noise?

I didn't make a noise.

And if you didn't make a noise…



-Who did?



-[trumpeting]



Follow that Elephantelope!



I could have sworn



I saw the creature come in here!



I bet it'd help our search

if we heard the call of the Elephantelope.

[Cam shuddering]



It says here the Elephantelope sounds



like an elephant and an antelope combined.



[confused trumpeting]

Interesting…



I'm hearing all elephant,



but no antelope.



[honk trumpeting]

Hmm. Nope.



-[vroom trumpeting]



-Nope.





-[trumpeting]



-Nope.





-[kazoo trumpeting]



-Huh? Wait!



[jazz trumpeting]

Go back. The one before the jazz trumpet.

[kazoo trumpeting]

Leaping Leprechauns! That's it!



The sounds are coming



from somewhere in this room!



[trumpeting]

Dragon's dimples!

Whoo-who-whoo… whoops!

Follow me!

[trumpeting]

[Deepa] He's heading for the basement!

[elevator dings]



It's darker than an ogre's den



down here.



Not to worry.



I, Cam Spotter, came prepared



with night-vision goggles!



Whoa!



[Deepa] What's that rustling



behind the shelves?



Incredible.

We're catching the Elephantelope mid-meal!

[camera snapping]

[startling]

[Deepa] Maruti?

What are you doing here?

Eating from my secret banana stash.

Which isn't so secret anymore.

Eh, sorry!

Don't worry, Mr. Spotter.

We'll find that Elephantelope.

The ela-fella what now?

[elevator dings]

Look! [snapping pictures]

Ooh! Ah! Oh!

[snapping picture]

[snapping picture]

[snapping picture]

[snapping picture]

[snapping picture]

[yawning]

Please rest if you need to.



But I, Cam Spotter, won't stop until



I get a picture of the Elephantelope.





If Mr. Spotter isn't giving up,



then neither will Deepa!



Deepa, Beta?

Can I talk to you?

I'll check that corner up ahead.



I don't think Mr. Spotter



thinks of this as a pretend game.





You should tell him the truth



about the Elephantelope.





But he'll be so sad



when he finds out it's just Anoop.





The longer you keep up this search,



the more disappointed he'll be.



[sighing]

You're right, Mama.



Time for Cam to say goodbye



to the Elephantelope,



but hello to Anoop!

Mr. Spotter?

I've got to tell you something.

Look! Outside!

You can do this.

[camera snapping]



Kraken's kittens,



Cam Spotter's done it!



Yay!

[trumpeting]

Those antlers… aren't real?

This is Anoop. He's an elephant.

He's also my best friend.

[trumpeting]

Nice to meet you, Anoop.



I really hoped



you'd be the Elephantelope.





I wanted your stay



at Mango Manor to be the best ever.





I thought that meant getting



a picture of the Elephantelope.



Actually, I should thank you.

Really? For what?

I had so much fun today!



-Yay!

Thanks for being a good sport, Anoop.

That was the search of a lifetime.

[trumpeting]

Hold… the… biryani.

Did you just change colors?

Cam Spotter has never seen that before!

[trumpeting a question]

I know just what to do!

[snapping pictures]

[Deepa] Boo! [giggling]



They're going to have



to add an entry in the guidebook



for my latest one-of-a-kind discovery…

Anoop, the color-changing elephant!



Let's get a picture



to remember the moment.



Everybody say, "Elephantelope!"

[Cam and Deepa] Elephantelope!

[♪♪♪]



[Deepa]

Bonkers For Bananas!



[Naani-ji humming a tune]



-[Bina squawking]



-♪ La la la la la la ♪



[humming]



Wow! Naani-ji, why do you have



so many bananas?





Because I am going to make for everyone



a most ancient recipe,



Banana Malpua!

Did someone say… banana?

Aah…

[excited panting]

Oh, no ya don't, Maruti!



These bananas are for Naani-ji's



awesome Banana Malpua.



You mean I can't have just one?

Not even a nibble!



These bananas are the most important



ingredient in my recipe.





Well, bananas and one other



secret ingredient.



[mischievous giggle]

Aw…

[patting]

[scolding]

Doh! Sorry, I just can't help myself!

[Anoop trumpets disapprovingly]

Oh! Maruti's monkey business is too much!



I can't prepare for my special dish



and keep an eye on him!



Don't worry, Naani-ji!



Anoop and I



will keep your bananas safe.



[trumpeting in agreement]

And Bina will help too!

[Bina snoring]

[squawking]

With all of us on kitchen patrol,

there's no way Maruti can sneak past us!

Mm-hmm…

[trumpeting]

What's next is we wait, and watch.

Nothing will get past us!

[trumpeting]

[Anoop snoring]



-[Bina squawking]



-What was that?



[Bina snoring]

[snoring]

Phew, the bananas are still here!

If Bina's going to keep falling asleep,

we've got to stay alert, Anoop.



Ya never know where Maruti's



gonna come from!



Gotcha!

[squawking]

[trumpeting "uh-oh"]

Gotcha, all right!

Hand 'em over, Maruti.

I can't help it.



Just look at these big bunches



of yellow beauties!



Oh…

Good work, you two!



Bina, you sure are a loud squawker



when you wake up.



It seriously helped.

[squawking]

But that was pretty close.



We need a better way to catch Maruti



before he grabs anything.



[Naani-ji singing to herself]

[singing]



Naani-ji, I didn't know



you could dance!





You should have seen me



in India back in the day!



Oh, oh…



I have something



even better than pictures…



[jingling]

My old ghungroos!



It was much better



when I wore them on my ankles,



but I can't reach those anymore.

[jingling]

[Naani-ji singing]

[humming]

[gasping] I know!



Anoop, if we can't always



see Maruti coming,



maybe we can hear him coming…



with these ghungroos!



-[jingling]



There ya go, Maruti.



I know you can't help yourself



from nabbing bananas,





so Naani-ji's ghungroos



will be like an alarm!



Pretty cool!



Even if they do keep me



away from the bananas.



[jingling]

Aa-aa-oo-aa-aa!

Ha ha! Hoo hoo!

[laughing]

Maruti?

[trumpeting]

Ha ha! Hoo hoo!

Ha! Hee hee! [laughing]

I can't help it if I've got happy feet!



What you need is something



to take your mind off those bananas.



I know just what to do!



These are Pintu's favorite



picture books!



They'll make you forget all about ba--

uh, all kinds of things!

Thanks, Deepa!

Picture book, huh?

Hey, hey, what a cute puppy.

Ooh, nice blue boat.

Gah!

I'm not sure those books



are going to distract Maruti



for long, Anoop.





We promised Naani-ji



we'd protect these bananas,





so we have to be prepared



for any monkey business!



[trumpeting]

Squawk! Bina needs her beauty sleep!

[settling down]

You sure are a light sleeper, Bina.



Anoop, that just gave me an idea



for the perfect plan!



[sniffing]

[inhaling deeply]

Aw…

Are there so many guests



that Naani-ji needs

all

those bananas?





Surely they can give me



just one sweet-smelling real banana





with all of its moist,



mushy deliciousness…



and it's right… through… that door!

Oh…

It's gotta be balanced just right

so it will fall and wake up Bina

when Maruti grabs the banana.

When we hear her squawk,

we'll rush in and catch him in the act!

Aah…

Come to Maruti!



-[Bina squawks in her sleep]



-[sighing]



Squawk! Banana alert!

Banana alert!

Waah!

[panicking]

Waah!

Ha! Caught you banana-handed!

Ooh!

Oh…

Aw…

Hmm.

Uh… [laughing nervously]

Oopsie.



We were just keeping



the bananas safe.



Thank you, Beta.



But no more jumpy monkey



business in my kitchen!



Hmm… Ahh…

[trumpeting]

New plan!



We'll hide the bananas



so Maruti can't find them.



Ooh, this looks perfect.

Maruti will never find them here.



Last one outside's



a rotten banana!



[giggling]

Hmm.

Must belong to one of the guests.

I'll bring it up to their room.

[sniffing] Mm…



Naani-ji, the bananas



are safe and sound!



Ah, perfect timing, Beta.



It's time to add the bananas



to the Banana Malpua!



Thank goodness you kept them safe!

Bananas coming right up, Naani-ji!

[trumpeting]

The bin! It's gone!

Huh? I don't understand, Anoop.

Where could it have gone?

[elevator dings]

We found 'em!

Oh. So this is yours, Beta?



I was just about to put these bananas



in the lost and found.



[elevator dings]

Maruti!

There he is!

[startling]

[panting]

[♪♪♪]

[panting]

Wah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

[panting]

Whoo!

[Deepa] Maruti!

[gasping]

[♪♪♪]

[Grandpa snoring]

Hmm…

Eh?

[♪♪♪]



-Ah!



-[trumpeting]



Oh! Oh!

Huh?

[sighing]



Naani-ji was so excited



to make Banana Malpua.





Now no one gets to have any,



not even Maruti.



[trumpeting sadly]

[Deepa sighs]

He would have loved it.



You mean, the Banana Malpua



wasn't just for guests?



I'd get to have some too?

Of course!



Naani-ji was going to make it



for our family,





and you're part



of the family, Maruti!



Eating Banana Malpua with my family



sounds a lot better



than eating bananas by myself!





Doing things together



is always more fun.



♪ Stomp to the beat and have some fun ♪

♪ We'll share a dance with everyone ♪

Dancing together, we'll get funky,

I love bananas 'cause I'm a monkey!

♪ Giving to each other shows we care ♪

♪ The real fun begins when we share ♪

You have one banana, I'll have two!

So many bananas, I know what to do!

♪ Share with each and every one ♪

♪ No one left out, it's much more fun ♪

♪ Give to each other and show we care ♪

♪ The real fun begins when we share! ♪

[laughing and trumpeting]

Everyone, enjoy your Banana Malpua!

[everyone] Mm…

So banana-y!

Mm, this is delicious!

Mm…



I didn't think I could like bananas



even more than I did before,



but they taste even better now!



Things always taste



just a little bit better



when you share.



Plus Naani-ji has a secret ingredient,



right, Naani-ji?



That's right!



The special ingredient that makes



my Banana Malpua taste so good



is love, of course.

[everyone] Aw!

Aw!

[laughter]
