HI, POPPA.
(♪♪♪)
UNCLE ARTHUR!
MOMMA, MOMMA.
(giggling)
(♪♪♪)
(marching band ♪♪♪)
PLEASE, STOP FIDGETING, POM.
YOU LOOK VERY HANDSOME, POM.
HE MOST CERTAINLY
DOES, FLORA.
YOU REMIND ME SO MUCH OF YOUR
FATHER.
PLEASE, STOP FIDGETING,
BABAR.
IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.
THANK YOU, CELESTE.
NOW IF I CAN JUST FIND MY
SPEECH.
WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?
ALEXANDER, WHY AREN'T YOU
PRACTICING WITH YOUR TEAM?
WHAT'S THE USE?
WE'RE IN LAST PLACE.
BESIDES, I'M CAPTAIN OF
THE TEAM.
I CAN TAKE AN AFTERNOON OFF
ONCE IN A WHILE.
WE CAN WORK ON MY MODEL
AIRPLANE, FATHER.
I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY, TOO,
ALEXANDER, BUT I HAVE A SPEECH
TO GIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF
CELESTEVILLE.
BUT YOU'RE THE KING, FATHER.
YOU CAN TAKE AN AFTERNOON OFF.
YEAH.
I'M GONNA GET OUT OF THIS
UNIFORM BEFORE I CHOKE.@
BECAUSE I AM KING, I MUST DO
MANY THINGS THAT I wOULD
SOMETIMES RATHER NOT DO,
CHILDREN.
WE ALL HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES
TO OTHERS.
I FOUND THAT OUT THE HARD WAY.
A VERY LONG TIME AGO,
BACK IN THE DAYS BEFORE
I WAS KING, BEFORE THERE WAS
A CELESTEVILLE, BACK IN THE
DAYS OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER,
MY MOTHER
ISN'T HE CUTE?
BABAR
BABAR
OH
AHEM.
WE MUST CHOOSE A NAME FOR THE
NEW BABY.
SUGGESTIONS, CORNELIUS?
YES, UH, SOMETHING
DISTINGUISHED, I SHOULD THINK.
PERHAPS HORATIO, OR ARCHIMEDES,
NOT TO MENTION
POMPADOUR?
YES.
HIC!
BABAR
I THINK "BABAR" WOULD
BE NICE.
ALL IN FAVOUR OF "PIERRE"?
ALL IN FAVOUR OF "BABAR"?
(trumpeting approval)
MY TUSKS, ONLY A FEW HOURS
OLD AND THE BOY'S ALREADY
HELPING OUR ELEPHANT FAMILY
MAKE DECISIONS.
(trumpeting)
(all trumpeting)
(laughing)
IT'S ALL RIGHT, BABAR.
THAT'S THE TRADITIONAL ELEPHAN
FAMILY WELCOME, JUST FOR YOU.
(blowing air)
HIC!
WHOA.
MY TUSKS, WHAT HE LACKS IN
VOLUME, HE CERTAINLY MAKES UP
FOR IN HEART.
YES, CORNELIUS.
YOUNG BABAR IS GOING TO MAKE
A FINE ADDITION TO THE FAMILY.
(whimpering)
MY LITTLE BABY BABAR.
(giggling)
MOMMA.
I LOVE YOU, BABAR.
(adult Babar)
EVERYTHING WAS NEW AND
EXCITING.
OW.
NOW BE CAREFUL.
DID I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN.
(baby Babar coughing)
USE YOUR TRUNK, BABAR.
YOU'LL FIND IT'S THE MOS
WONDERFUL INVENTION SINCE
THE TAIL.
THE OLDER I GOT, THE MORE
DETERMINED I WAS THAT NOTHING
WOULD STAND IN MY WAY.
OH!
(straining)
DON'T WORRY, BABAR.
THAT STUMP'S BEEN AROUND A LO
LONGER THAN YOU HAVE.
YOU TRIED.
THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
HMPH.
(adult Babar)
AS THE MONTHS PASSED,
I CAUGHT ON
EVENTUALLY.
OH, MOMMA.
(small roar)
(grunts)
(sighs)
STILL WON'T BUDGE, BABAR?
NO, BUT I'LL BEAT I
SOME DAY.
I'M SURE YOU WILL
SOME DAY.
(kids giggling)
CELESTE.
YES, MOTHER?
WATCH YOUR LITTLE BROTHER.
YES, MOTHER.
NEVER MIND, ARTHUR, WE'LL NEVER
GET THE FRUIT DOWN.
(Babar trumpeting)
UNH!
HEY, BABAR DID A BELLY FLOP.
(both giggling)
(monkey laughing)
(Babar laughing)
(laughing)
(monkey laughing)
BABAR?
(monkey laughing)
MY TUSKS, WHAT WILL THAT BOY
THINK OF NEXT?
(kids laughing)
HE KNOWS HOW TO USE HIS HEAD.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
VERY GOOD, INDEED.
YES, AND HE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO
HAVE FUN.
(loud boom)
(elephants gasp)
POMPADOUR?
OBVIOUSLY THUNDER.
CORNELIUS?
SOME STRANGE NEW BEAST HAS
ENTERED OUR JUNGLE.
A MONSTER.
(alarmed trumpeting)
A MONSTER, MOMMA?
(loud boom)
(frantic trumpeting)
BIG THUNDER, I ADMIT, BU
THUNDER JUST THE SAME.
IT IS THE VOICE OF DOOM,
A MONSTER.
THUNDER.
A MONSTER.
OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS AND I PLAN NEVER
TO FIND OUT.
CORNELIUS, ORGANIZE AN ELEPHAN
LINE.
WE'RE MOVING.
NOW.
(elephants trumpeting)
BUT WE WANNA STAY HERE.
(growling)
THIS IS OUR HOME.
BABAR IS RIGHT.
THIS IS OUR HOME.
WE CAN'T JUST GIVE IT UP.
WE SHOULD ASK THE FAMILY.
ALL IN FAVOUR OF STAYING?
(elephants trumpeting)
WE STAY.
OH, GOOD, WE KEEP OUR HOME.
AT LEAST UNTIL WE KNOW WHA
WE'RE UP AGAINST.
THANKS, MOMMA, YOU WERE
SWELL.
WELL, YOU CERTAINLY HELPED,
BABAR.
YES, INDEED.
VERY BRAVE OF YOU TO SPEAK UP
LIKE THAT, BABAR.
ALTHOUGH, A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE.
SORRY, CORNELIUS.
BYE, MOMMA.
DON'T GO FAR.
I WON'T.
I LOVE YOU.
AND I LOVE YOU, TOO, BABAR.
YOU KNOW, MADAM, I DO BELIEVE
YOUR SON IS DESTINED FOR GREATER
THINGS.
JUST AS LONG AS HE'S HAPPY,
CORNELIUS.
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.
(kids giggling)
LOOK OUT, MOMMA, HERE I COME.
(sniffing)
CORNELIUS, I SENSE DANGER.
YES, MADAM, SO DO I.
THE WHOLE HERD SEEMS UNEASY.
(grass rustling)
I'LL GATHER THE ELDERS.
WE SHOULD BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
BULL'S-EYE.
(giggling)
HEY!
(giggling)
OH, YEAH?
BABAR?
URP.
HI, CELESTE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
ARTHUR?
YES.
I KNOW.
HE'S GOTTEN ME A COUPLE OF
TIMES.
COME ON, LET'S GET HIM.
(growling)
(growling)
BOOM!
(giggling)
ARTHUR, YOU LITTLE MONSTER.
THAT'S RIGHT, I AM THE
MONSTER.
BOOM!
ARTHUR, THAT HORRIBLE NOISE
WE HEARD IS NOT SOMETHING TO
JOKE ABOUT.
WHAT IF THERE REALLY IS
A MONSTER?
I DON'T BELIEVE IN MONSTERS.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE AND ONCE WE KNOW
WHAT IT IS, WE'LL KNOW HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT.
AH, MONSTERS ARE MORE FUN.
DOUBLE GOOSH.
(rifle clicks)
(birds screeching)
CORNELIUS!
MADAM, WE'VE AGREED WE SHOULD
MOVE THE HERD TO SAFETY
IMMEDIATELY.
(urgent trumpeting)
EVERYONE, ROUND UP THE
CHILDREN!
RUN FOR COVER, QUICKLY!
BABAR!
BABAR!
(kids giggling)
BABAR!
HUH?
HEY!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHOA!
HEY, WHERE ARE WE GOING, MOM?
QUICKLY! QUICKLY!
INTO THE JUNGLE.
QUICKLY! QUICKLY!
(rifle shot)
(mother trumpeting)
(coughing)
AH!
(coughing)
MOMMA?
(coughing)
MOMMA, WHERE ARE YOU?
(coughing)
MOMMA?
(trumpeting)
MOMMA?
MOMMA?
PROTECT THE CHILDREN.
SAVE THE FAMILY.
(angry trumpeting)
(growling)
(trumpeting)
MOMMA?
MOMMA?
MOMMA?
MOMMA?
WHERE ARE YOU?
MOMMA?
CORNELIUS, HAVE YOU SEEN MY
MOTHER?
COME WITH ME, BABAR.
NOOOOOOOO!
(crying)
(quietly trumpeting)
(adult Babar)
AND, SO, I WAS ALONE.
THE FAMILY MOVED ON, AWAY FROM
THE HUNTER.
BUT BEFORE I COULD GO WITH
THEM, THERE WAS SOMETHING
I HAD TO DO.
BABAR?
(straining)
MOMMA!
(grunts)
I KNEW, THEN, I COULD GO ON.
CORNELIUS, WILL BABAR BE
ALL RIGHT?
(Babar roaring)
YES, BABAR IS DESTINED FOR
GREAT THINGS.
(Babar roaring)
BOOM!
(kids giggling)
OH
NOT NOW, ARTHUR.
(gasping)
(giggling)
THERE IS AN UNKNOWN PLACE
THE BIRDS SPEAK OF, DEEP IN
THE JUNGLE, A PLACE FAR AWAY
WHERE EVEN THE HUNTER WOULD
NOT FIND US.
I SUGGEST WE LEAVE FOR I
IMMEDIATELY.
NO!
THIS IS OUR HOME.
WE HAVE TO STAY.
WE ALL FEEL JUST AS YOU DO,
BABAR, BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S
A QUESTION OF SURVIVAL.
YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN,
BABAR.
WE'RE JUST NO MATCH FOR THE
HUNTER OR ANY LIKE HIM WHO COME
FROM "THE OTHER SIDE".
WE ALL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.
PERHAPS, IN TIME, WE MAY GE
TO KNOW THE NATURE OF OUR ENEMY
AND THEN BE ABLE TO STAND
AGAINST HIM.
BUT, FOR NOW, BABAR
I UNDERSTAND.
FOR NOW, OUR ONLY HOPE IS TO
LEAVE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
IF HE FINDS US NOW, HE'LL HUN
US DOWN TO THE LAST.
(rifle shot)
(elephants trumpeting)
(rifle shot)
RUN, BABAR, RUN!
HE'LL FOLLOW US, HUNT US
DOWN, ALL OF US!
BABAR!
BABAR!
(rifle clicks)
(gasps)
AHHHHH!
MUST KEEP HIM AWAY.
(roaring)
(roaring)
@
LET THE OTHERS ESCAPE.
(roaring)
(rifle clicks)
MUST KEEP HIM AWAY.
(roaring)
(roaring)
(adult Babar)
I WAS ALONE.
BUT THAT WAS OKAY.
BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE OTHERS
WERE FINALLY SAFE.
THEY WERE OUT THERE, SOMEWHERE
IN THE DEEP, DARK, UNKNOWN PAR
OF THE JUNGLE.
ALTHOUGH SOMETHING INSIDE TOLD
ME IT WOULD BE A LONG TIME
BEFORE I SAW THEM AGAIN,
I KNEW THAT I WOULD FIND THEM
SOME DAY.
(whistles)
BUT HOW DID YOU FIND THEM,
FATHER?
WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHAT DID YOU DO?
(chuckling)
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY, ALEXANDER.
IT'S ENOUGH TO SAY FOR NOW THA
I MADE SOME WONDERFUL FRIENDS
AND LEARNED SO VERY MUCH ALONG
THE WAY.
JUST AS THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE
AND BAD PEOPLE, THERE ARE GOOD
KINGS AND BAD KINGS, AND ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT DECIDES WHICH
WE ARE IS HOW WE HANDLE OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHERS.
(clearing throat)
SPEAKING OF RESPONSIBILITIES
AH, CORNELIUS.
TIME FOR YOUR SPEECH,
YOUR MAJESTY.
AW
ARE YOU COMING, ALEXANDER?
YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO
JOIN US.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, FATHER,
I THINK I'LL KICK A FEW SOCCER
BALLS AROUND.
(chuckling)
OH, MY TUSKS
I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD
IDEA.
