Whoa, oh, whoa, oh Y'all tell me who's the king Whoa, oh, whoa, oh All hail King Julien! Uh, we are gathered here today to honor a patriot.
A lemur who showed courage on the battlefield and bravely fought for his kingdom in some war that happened a long, long, long, long time ago.
This guy is like super old, peoples.
And he's pretty grumpy.
Maurice, do you need a lozenge or some sort of salve? He's right over there.
Argh! Give it up for Hector! Madagascar's oldest and only living war hero.
Give it up, everyone! He's so old.
On behalf of everyone in the kingdom, thank you for whatever you did.
Ow! Watch it! Well, then hold still.
I am holding Ow! Stop poking me! I'm trying to give you an award.
A little thanks would be appreciated, you know.
Yeah, you're welcome! How long is this ceremony going to last? It's taking forever! I don't care about history.
Oh, me neither.
The past is so old.
Like Hector.
I can't believe my ear holes, because what I am hearing is a whole lot of "blah blah," when I should be hearing a whole lot of "rah rah!" Lemur spirit, let's go! Chop-chop! Yes! Willie, thank you for expressing your lemur spirit.
Oh, no, actually, I was just raising my hand to ask if we could go home now.
Ugh.
Oh, yeah, Willie.
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Go ahead, no problem.
Go ahead and leave, if you don't care about sacrifice, and its saucy handmaiden freedom! Why? Oh! I was just being passive aggressive, people.
You're not actually supposed to leave! These idiots would be singing a different tune if they ever had to go to war.
Aha! That's it.
I'm afraid to ask this, but, what are you doing? My kingdom doesn't have spirit because they never had a war to bond them.
"Quid pro quo," I will give them a war.
First, that's not what quid pro quo means and second, I don't think starting a war is a very good idea.
That's right, Maurice.
It's a very great idea.
Help me decide who to go to war with.
Nope, too dangerous.
Nope, too dangerous.
No.
Ah! I love those guys! Aren't they extinct? No.
No.
Oh Yes, perfect! I will start a war with the butterflies.
We can totally take those guys.
May I remind you that your people probably won't support a war with a peaceful group of flying insects who never did us any harm? Oh, yes, they will, Maurice, because that peaceful group of flying insects will strike first.
Hurry up, Maurice, we don't have all day! Why are we doing this again? We're framing the butterflies for an attack in order to unite my peoples in support of a war.
Ah! I've been reborn as a butterfly.
Perfect.
Disturbing, but perfect.
Now, hold this.
I'm flying! A little help here.
Ow! Don't just hang there, Mort.
Remember, you're a mean little butterfly.
I'm a mean little butterfly.
King Julien, I don't think I can hold it much longer.
Sure you can, Mo-Mo.
Hey, Dorothy, watch this move.
I call it "The Full Diva.
" Yeah, that's nice, Ted.
Say, why is that fat butterfly throwing fruit at us? Because I'm attacking you! I'm starting a war! A war? We're all gonna Oh! Oh, no! King Julien? Not now, Maurice.
Can't you see I'm busy here watching? Maurice! Did I tell you to let go? No.
No, I did not! What's going on? What happened? Oh, golly.
Ted! - What did you see, Ted? - Oh, Ted! Who did this to you? It was a butterfly, King Julien.
An unusually large, strange-looking butterfly.
Its face was so horribly ignorant.
A butterfly? - Hey! - Did everyone hear what Ted said? It was a butterfly.
Oh, boy.
Ow! A butterfly? Clover, I know you're going to say that doesn't make any sense.
That makes complete sense! I always knew those butterflies were no good.
One word, "cocoons.
" What goes on in there? You tell me! Huh? Huh? But you can't, you see? 'Cause nobody knows! Hmm.
Listen up, everybody.
The butterflies attacked our water slide.
Uncool! Un-cool! Seems like we should probably bond over this, and I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas, spitballing, declare war or something.
Well, if King Julien says we should go to war, then we should go to war.
Of course we should! They attacked us and destroyed our water slide.
- We want war! - We want war! That settles it.
I hereby declare war upon the butterflies! See how the people are coming together, Maurice.
You gotta admit, my plan is totally working.
Yeah, for now.
But your plans always have a way of backfiring.
Yeah? Name one time.
Well, there was the time you made me go up a foosa's Oh, hey, there's Mort.
Look, King Julien, I designed it myself.
Red, white and feet.
Not bad, Mort.
Glad to see your lemur spirit is coming out.
Even if it is a little creepy.
King Julien, I've alerted our Navy to the butterfly threat.
They await your orders, sir! We have a Navy? I'd like to begin training the new recruits.
Um, train them for what? Fighting.
Combat.
The war? Oh, Clover, you clearly know nothing about war.
There won't be any fighting.
Fighting in a war.
Did you hear what she said, Maurice? Actually, the definition of "war" means The war is good for my people.
Look.
When's the last time you saw everybody working together full of so much lemur pride and ringtail spirit? Eh.
That may be, but what do you think is gonna happen when the butterflies hear that we're at war? What was that? Wait, uh What did Maurice say? Nothing.
He said nothing.
You framed the butterflies for the attack to start a war, didn't you? Uh - Technically, Maurice and Mort did.
- Really? - Argh! What? - But don't worry, Clover.
The first rule of war, is never tell your enemy you're at war.
- Duh! - Argh! The butterflies will never know.
I come with news from the lemur kingdom.
What has that idiotic primate King Julien done now? Out with it! Uh, King Julien has declared war on us, Your Highness.
Finally, the moment has come! For too long, butterflies have been seen as merely decorative.
Tiny little things that just flap along in the breeze without a thought in our heads.
But no more! Now the world will see what we're really made of! Hello? I was just doing an evil telepathic laugh.
Man, I wish we had lips.
No! Everyone, take cover! In your huts, now! My beverage! Why? Maurice! The butterflies are attacking us! What are we going to do? That was a big load of kumquats.
Yeah, but fortunately, they all hit one spot.
Sorry, Horst.
My beverage! Bad news, Your Majesty.
It's the Pee Pee Pants, sir.
She's gone.
What about Willie? He went down with the ship.
I'm really going to miss that guy.
What is everyone crying about? Willie! Oh, Dorothy.
I am just so angry at those nasty butterflies.
I'm so angry that I could just Ooh, Ted.
sing a song about it! Down in old Junk Harbor Stood a mighty vessel proud and strong Till the wee hours of the morn Through the sky came a throng Straight towards the ship they flew To do their dastardly deed The next thing that we knew Our brave ship was lost at sea We'll never forget What happened here today And until real justice is served Together we say Remember the Pee Pee Pants Remember it well Remember its seaworthy shape Remember its foul smell Remember all it stood for All that's happy, good and right Remember our enemy The butterflies we must fight! We'll give 'em dirty looks And call 'em bad names And even say they're trash! We'll insult their moms And yell at 'em some more And punch 'em in the face And then we'll scratch their eyes out! I didn't know lemurs could explode like that.
Yeah? That's how much he loves his kingdom, Maurice.
As your royal advisor, I urge you to talk to the Butterfly Queen and put an end to this.
I cannot do that, Maurice.
Not when my peoples are finally united as one.
I can't back out now! But we're unprepared for war.
We don't have an army or weapons or Oh, I've got weapons.
The Pee Pee Pants was just the initial assault.
Textbook psychological warfare.
They'll be back.
And we better be ready.
Ugh, there's no way we can beat the butterflies.
- You're right! - I knew you'd see reason.
We need help! - Oh, no.
- Oh, yes, Maurice.
We need someone strong and intimidating who's on our side.
Someone to be our war buddy! Yes! I'll handle this on my own.
Let's go, Maurice.
Hm.
It's a note from King Julien.
"Will you be my war buddy?" Circle one.
Yes or no.
Oh, well, isn't that nice? Wait a minute.
I I'm starting to feel gassy.
Is there gluten in this? I'm allergic to gluten.
Everybody knows that! That King Julien tried to kill me with gluten.
That's it.
He'll pay for this! Uh-uh-uh! Right after I use the restroom! I guess they'll have to do.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Welcome to the situation room! - May I begin the briefing, sir?! - Yes, Clover.
Wouldn't hurt to lower the volume a few notches, though.
Can't, sir, too excited! This is my first situation room.
Dreams really do come true, sir! A-ha! As you can see, we are here.
Whoa! You mean, we're in the map? Uh From what my scouts have told me, the enemy has us surrounded.
What are those again? These are the butterflies.
Ooh! I won the war! No, King Joey, those aren't real butterflies.
Oh! Our best bet is to fortify our position.
Or we should all scatter.
No, no.
Fortify.
Nope, scatter.
Don't know what to do! So excited! Clover, get a hold of yourself! King Joey, stop eating the war pieces, please.
Maurice get someone in here with real war experience! Okay, Hector, hit us with the ideas.
Nope.
We're not doing this.
Some war hero you are! The butterflies are coming! The butterflies are coming! And the crocodiles, too! Run! The butterflies got a war buddy, too! We're not safe here.
Everyone, fall back to the cave! This way! Quick! Everyone, grab hold! Okay, so we're all in the cave.
What now? I just fear-tinkled.
- Oh, come on, man! - Oh, Ted! Throw him out of the cave.
We're in the dark! - You need to get that checked.
- You can't just pee in the dark! Oh, Maurice.
This is not what I thought war would be like.
It's not all fun and parades.
Look, Maurice! Mort? My King Julien! A flower.
Beauty.
Living amidst the destruction and ashes, like a rose in concrete.
Respect, flower.
Respek.
It's just a flower, Your Majesty.
You're right.
It is just a flower.
But if this little flower can live in peace, why can't we, Maurice? We were living in peace until you went and I know what I must do now.
They say there's a law of the jungle Hate your enemy They say that war is the answer Come on guys, please.
You gotta listen closely To the flowers on the ground They've got the real answer And the answer's all around Come with me, come with me To plant the seeds of peace Together we, together we Can plant the seeds of peace Everybody now! Whoo! There's power in this flower And it's called peace There's motion in the ocean And it's called peace There's duty in my booty And it's called peace There's a beat, on the street And it's called peace There's a rumble in the jungle And it's called peace There's a goal in my soul And it's called peace There's something that rhymes With air in the air And it's called peace There's a whole lot of Freaky swirling colors And it's called peace Oh, hey, look, there's Sage.
Hi! And it's called peace Okay, I'm starting to feel dizzy.
And it's called peace Oh, yeah, gonna barf.
And it's called peace Okay, the song's over! Stop singing! That settles it.
I'm inviting the butterflies and the crocodiles to a peace summit.
Huh? - Ooh.
- Huh? Uh, hello, Madam Butterfly.
May I show you to your seat? So uh, where are the crocodiles? The crocodiles are late.
Let's begin.
Whoa! I can, like, hear you in my brain.
How did you do that? Oh, man, can you teach me? - I could totally freak people out.
- Focus.
You really need to get that cough checked out.
I said let us begin.
Ah! Yes, of course.
I offer you this flower as a symbol of peace.
I hope you will take it and we can put an end to this war and go back to peaceful peacey-ness.
Uh, I take your silence as a "yes.
" So, if you could just sign here, this peace treaty, that'd be great.
Uh, all standard language.
Nothing to be worried about.
The butterflies are not interested in peace.
Okay, well, then, not to split hairs or anything, but uh, why did you come to a peace treaty then, if you didn't want peace? You see what I mean? Because, I wanted to see your face when I declared all out jungle war! I assure you, I will win and when I do, I will take over all of Madagascar! It will be mine! All mine! Oh.
Did not see that coming.
Finally, she's gone! Thank you, King Julien.
Thank you.
We're free! We're free! We're free! We're free! We're free! Oh, golly! Did I really explode earlier? Okay, out of my way.
Dangerous flora coming through.
Stand clear.
So, not only did I unite my own people, but I saved the entire butterfly kingdom from their oppressive ruler.
And you thought my plan would backfire.
May I remind you that we're still technically at war with the crocodiles? Oh, we took care of the crocodiles for you, King Julien.
They're in a maze! King Julien! Woo! There's power in this flower And it's called peace There's motion in the ocean And it's called peace There's duty in my booty And it's called peace There's a beat on the street And it's called peace There's a rumble in the jungle And it's called peace There's a goal in my soul And it's called peace
