[Fireworks exploding]
CHILDREN: Wow!
Ooh!
Wow!
BABAR: Ah, the perfect end to
a glorious day.
I think the parade was the
best one ever!
It was really glorious!
All right, children.
Time for bed.
ALL: Bed?
But Mama, we'’re not even
tired yet!
Now, children, mind your
mother.
Come on, Isabelle!
We get to sleep on the top bunk
tonight!
Yippee!
I thought it was our turn!
Yeah, hurry!
Good night, children.
Good night, Papa!
Good night, Father.
Good night!
Heh...
[Sighing happily]
ISABELLE: Papa?
Aren'’t you coming to tuck us in?
Of course, Isabelle.
I wouldn'’t miss that for the
world!
Up you go!
[Isabelle giggling]
Can we have another parade
tomorrow?
I'’m afraid you'll have to
wait until next year, Isabelle.
The victory parade is an annual
event.
Vic-try parade?
How come it'’s called a vic-try
parade?
Well, heh, heh.
That'’s a long story, my dear.
Good!
Yeah, tell us!
Yes!
Please, Papa?
Well...
FLORA: Come on!
ALEXANDER: Yeah, come on!
But--
ISABELLE: Please?
But--
How can you refuse?
All right.
CHILDREN: Yay!
Just don'’t make it too long.
Yeah, just long!
Really long!
Very well.
This story begins a long time
ago, when I was just a boy.
[Trumpets sounding]
I was still pretty new--
And Mama was just a little
girl?
Yes, that'’s right, Isabelle.
Ahh!
Now, where was I?
Ah, yes, I was just a boy, and
I was still very new at being
king, and--
POM: Papa!
What is it, son?
Are there going to be any
rhinoceros in this story?
Yes, Pom, lots of rhinoceros.
What about crocodiles?
Well, yes, I believe there
are.
How about monkeys?
Yeah, any monkeys, Papa?
Children, please.
Am I going to tell the story, or
are you going to try and guess
it?
CHILDREN: Sorry, Papa.
Now, as I was saying, this
story begins when I was just a
boy.
I was still pretty new at being
king, and it was to be my very
first day in Royal Court.

Babar!

BABAR: Was I nervous!
Fortunately, my good friend
The Old Lady was with me.
Good luck, Babar.
I'’m sure you'll do just fine.
And of course, my two trusted
advisors, Cornelius and
Pompadour, were right by my
side, as well.
[Clearing throat]
Sound the official horn!
[Spritzing]
Sound the official horn!
[Feet scurrying]
Sound the official horn!
Ahem!
Where is our official
horn-blower?
Here I am!
Hi, Babar!
Good luck today!
[Panting]
Sure hope you don'’t mess up or
anything!
Sound the official horn,
please, Arthur!
We'’re running a bit late, you
know.
But I didn'’t mean to be late,
Cornelius!
I would have been here on time,
but I had to get dressed, and
eat my breakfast, and--
The horn, Arthur.
[Blowing horn]
Like that?
[Madame laughing]
Yes, that will be fine.
[Babar giggling]
Ahem, right then.
Uh, Troubadour, what monumental
problem will we be looking at
today?
Ooh!
This could prove to be most
difficult.
It seems we must choose a name
for our annual parade!
The annual parade?
Oh, my tusks!
Why, this could take years!
How about the Elephantland
Parade?
The Elephantland Parade.
I say, that'’s rather catchy!
The Elephantland Parade!
Oh, it'’s almost absolutely
perfect, Your Majesty!
[Clapping]
Well done, Babar.
Yay!
Hooray for Babar!
Of course, Your Majesty
understands a delicate matter
such as this should be given a
great deal of thought.
What?
Pompadour is right, Babar.
I mean, we can hardly come up
with an entire name just like
that.
[Snapping fingers]
I suggest we appoint a
committee!
A committee?
A group of experts, Babar.
Professional decision-makers.
We'’ll have them look at every
possible possibility.

♪ We set up a committee
to discuss and interact ♪
♪ Then authorize a study

♪ Then summarize the data

to do ♪
Get out all the files!
We have work to do.
♪ We'’ll call in all the
experts ♪
♪ To hear just what they say
♪ Is there general agreement
and consensus today? ♪
♪ And then we'’ll take a survey ♪
♪ To get the public point

♪ Then we'’ll circulate a memo

♪ Discussing all the options

[Clanging]
[Gasping]
Sorry, Miss, you can'’t come
in here.
Celeste?
Ugh, ah!
Hey, you can'’t do that!
Babar!
Huh?
Babar, I'’ve got to speak to
you!
Mademoiselle, you are
interrupting an extremely
important meeting!
ARTHUR: Hey, Celeste!
Ugh!
I thought you were going with
Mama to see Grandpa?
Arthur, Grandpa'’s village is
in terrible danger!
Danger?
Why?
You'’ve got to get your army
out there right away!
Army?
Army?
Army?!
Rataxes and his rhinos are on
a rampage!
Rataxes?
Rhinos?
Rampage?
He'’s attacking all the
villages, and snatching
elephants!
Oh, my!
Grandpa'’s village could be
next!
Where'’s Mama, Celeste?
Is Mama okay?
I hope so, Arthur.
She'’s still there.
Oh!
I ran back here as fast as I
could to get help!
Don'’t worry, Celeste.
We'’ll do everything we can,
won'’t we?
Oh, uh, absolutely.
There'’s certainly no harm in
looking into the matter.
We'’ll appoint a committee
at once!
A committee?
Agreed!
Make a note of that, Troubadour.
We'’ll want a full report.
BABAR: Wait a minute!
We haven'’t got time for that.
Let'’s just send the army out
there, and have them set up some
defences.
Babar, please!
A war is hardly something we
want to rush into.
But--
Cornelius is right, Your
Majesty.
After all, her story could be a
complete exaggeration.
Do you think I'’m making this
up?
Now, now, child.
The point is that civilized
animals simply don'’t go around
snatching one another.
I mean, it just isn'’t done.
Oh, it most certainly isn'’t.
[Laughing]
The very idea, snatching
elephants!
Oh!
Celeste!
Celeste, wait!
My word!
Celeste!
[Celeste crying]
[Sniffling, crying]
Celeste?
My mama'’s in terrible danger!
Why won'’t anyone believe me?
I believe you, Celeste, and I
really do want to help.
[Crying]
My mama means everything to
me.
I know how important a mother
can be.
If anything ever happened to
her, I'’d just--
Don'’t worry, Celeste.
Nothing'’s going to happen to
her.
I'’m going to go back up there
and order them to get the army
ready, and I'’ll lead them to
your village myself!
Oh, thank you, Babar!
Hey, Celeste!
Where are you going?
I'’ve got to get back to my
family.
They need me!
Come as fast as you can, Babar!
We'’re counting on you!
True to my word, I ordered
Cornelius to call out the
Elephant Army.
I waited, and waited... and
waited.
Unfortunately, getting them
ready to march was much more
difficult than I had
anticipated.
Why does everything have to
take so long?
You may not think so, but
you'’ve accomplished a lot today.
But the army won'’t be ready
for three more days!
That does seem like a long
time.
The rhinos could be attacking
right now!
And Celeste is counting on me.
[Owl hooting in distance]
What should I do, Madame?
That decision isn'’t mine to
make.
You have to do what you feel
is right.
But Cornelius and Pompadour
said that we shouldn'’t rush into
things.
You are the king.
In the end, the decision must be
your own.
Thank you, Madame.
♪
Be careful, Babar.
ARTHUR: What are we doing?
Hold this for me.
Wouldn'’t it be better if we
waited until tomorrow?
Tomorrow could be too late,
Arthur.
But Babar, we can'’t stop
Rataxes all by ourselves!
Maybe not, but I have to try.
What about Cornelius and
Pompadour?
They'’re going to be really
worried!
I know.
I wish there was some other way,
but...
That'’s it!
What?!
Arthur, look!
You look exactly like me!
All us little elephants look
the same.
Yeah, but in my crown and
robe, everyone will think
you'’re me!
Huh?
It'’s perfect!
They won'’t even know I'm gone.
But I'’m going with you!
I could be a big help-- oops.
You can help me most by
staying here, Arthur.
Hold the fort till I get back.
But Babar, what are--
I'’m depending on you now.
[Sighing]
Mm-hmm.
Good luck, pal.
Wait!
I'’m not ready!
What if Cornelius comes?
CORNELIUS: Babar?
Ah, there you are, Babar.
Lovely night, isn'’t it?
Just look at those stars.
[Cornelius sighing]
I could just stand here forever.
[Gulping]
I do hope you understand about
all this army business.
These things take time.
It'’s not as if we can just go
charging off into the jungle at
night, you know.
Heh, heh.
Ah, well, good night, Babar.
[Sighing with relief]
Oh, and Babar!
[Gasping]
I think you'’re doing a fine job
as king.
Oh!
So, with Arthur in my place,
I was on my way... or so I
thought.
Hmm.
Aha!
[Whistling]
Halt, who goes there?
Why?
Uh, I don'’t know.
We'’re supposed to say that to
anyone who tries to get in.
But I'’m already in!
Oh, uh...
So, why don'’t you let me out,
so I can try to come in, so you
can say, "Halt, who goes there?"
Oh, okay!
[Whistling]
[Grunting]
Ugh!
There you go!
Thank you!
[Whistling]
[Grunting]
Okay, now!
BOTH: Halt, who goes there?
Hmm?
Halt, who goes there?
Halt, who goes there?
[Animal sounds]
Huh?
[Whistling]
[Twig snapping]
Rowr!
[Babar laughing]
[Snarling]
Ahh!
[Snarling]
Meow!
[Gulping]
Suddenly, I was filled with
an overwhelming feeling of
foreboding.
A fear that I might never see
my home again.
But I was determined to help
Celeste and her mother.
And with that as my guide, I
marched off into the unknown.
[Owl hooting]
Hmm.
According to this map, Celeste'’s
village should be right about...
here!
[Gasping]
Oh, no, Celeste!
Whoa!
Ugh!
Roar!
[Gasping]
Celeste!
Why did I let her go back alone?
Ugh, ugh!
Ahh!
[Splashing]
[Elephants crying]
[Coughing]
[Birds squawking]
Ahhh!
Run!
[Gasping]
[Laughing evilly]
[Shouting, chaos]
[Gasping]
Mama!
Go, go, run!
Come on, you, let'’s go!
No!
Leave her alone!
[Rhinos shouting]
Ahh!
[Screaming]
[Young elephant crying]
Huh?
[Elephants trumpeting]
[Trumpeting, shrieking]
Stop it!
Ugh!
Ugh, oh!
[Rhinos shouting]
Get '’em, come on!
Ah!
Oh!
[Elephants trumpeting]
[Children crying]
Heh, heh, rowr!
[Children gasping]
[Rhino snickering]
Grrr!
That'’s it!
CELESTE: Mama!
Huh?
Mama!
Celeste?
Mama!
What are you doing to my mother?
Celeste!
Run, Celeste!
Save yourself!
Not without you!
I'’m coming!
[Shouting, trumpeting]
[Babar trumpeting weakly]
We got her now!
Ah!
Babar!
Ugh!
Why, you little-- get him!
Get him!
Hold on, get him!
Ugh!
Huh?
Oh!
Grrrr!
Ugh!
[Moaning dizzily]
Let go of me!
Uggh!
Oh, ugh!
[Celeste screaming]
Ha, ha, ha!
BABAR: Celeste?
CELESTE: Mama, Mama!
I'’m... coming... ugh!
Rataxes!
Rataxes!
RHINOS: Rataxes, Rataxes!
CELESTE: Help!
Help!
Help!
Somebody help me!
What?
Oh...
Help!
I'’m coming, Celeste.
Ugh, oh!
[Groaning]
Help!
Are you all right?
Babar, thank goodness you'’re
okay!
Quick, help me out of here!
Okay, hang on.
[Sighing]
Here, grab onto this.
Ugh, got it!
[Grunting]
Babar, what happened?
I thought you were bringing your
army with you.
Uh, I'’m afraid they won't be
ready for a couple of days.
A couple of days?!
Ah!
That'’s going to be too late!
The rhinos will be miles away!
No, Celeste, this time I'’m
coming with you.
We'’ll find your mother together.
This way, young'’ins!
Follow me.
Grandpa!
Oh, Grandpa, I'’m so glad you're
all right!
Eh?
What'’s that?
Uh, I said I'’m glad you're
all right!
Oh, yes, it was a terrible
fight, but I took care of these
young'’ins, hid them in the
bushes.
Babar and I have to go after
the rhinos!
Can you take the little ones to
the palace?
Uh, they'’re getting awfully
hungry, though.
Sir, go to the palace with
the little ones!
Oh, yes, some buttered buns
would do fine!
Uh, but don'’t you think I ought
to get them to the palace first?
It'’s much safer there, you know.
Uh, you'’re absolutely right,
Grandpa.
Good luck!
Heh, heh!
Come on, little tykers!
Old Tusk'’ll look after ya!
[Thudding]
Heh, heh!
Phew!
They'’ll be fine, Celeste.
We'’d better get going.
There'’s a long road ahead of us.
[Birds squawking]
CELESTE: I'’ve never gone this
far into the jungle, have you?
No, Cornelius says that no
elephant has ever crossed into
rhino territory.
Babar, what exactly are we
going to do when we find
Rataxes?
I don'’t know, but we'll think
of something.
I'’m sorry I let you down,
Celeste.
I am king, but I'’m also new
at being in charge.
You didn'’t let me down,
Babar.
You came, didn'’t you?

Yeah, something weird!
Come on, Celeste.
Let'’s find your mom.

Bye!
Been nice knowing ya.

something is watching us.

Ugh!

Come on, uh, I think we'’re
getting closer.

There they are!
That must be the bridge to
Rhinoland.
I'’ve got to get over there.
Come on, we'’ll find a way.
You'’ve got to be kidding!
Huh?
We'’d be safer crossing with
the rhinos!
Heh, heh!
Aw, come on, it'’s a-- whoa!
A piece of... a piece of cake.
You can do it.
Just don'’t look down.
It'’s too late, I looked!
Well, just hang on tight.
Okay!
Don'’t let go!
I won'’t!
How long have we been--
Oh, you!

It shouldn'’t be much further
now.

ahead!

Come on, let'’s go!
Move it!

Oh, my gosh!
Babar, they'’re slaves!

Come on, move!
Back to work!
[Elephants crying, whip

Come on, move it!
They'’re being forced to work
for the rhinos.

Mama!
Shh!
We'’ve got to free her, Babar.
We'’ve got to free all of
them.
Look, they'’re taking her into
that building.
Come on, let'’s get closer.

Ahh!

We'’ve got to get ahead of them

it'’s too late!
Can you help us, Croc?
It'’s about time someone
taught those rotten rhino

You can count on me, Babar.
Me and every croc in the jungle.
Great!
Just get us as close to
Elephantland as you can.

Ugh!
I thought you were going with
Mama to see Grandpa?
Arthur, Grandpa'’s village is
in terrible danger!
Danger?
Why?
You'’ve got to get your army
out there right away!
Army?
Army?
Army?!
Rataxes and his rhinos are on
a rampage!
Rataxes?
Rhinos?
Rampage?
He'’s attacking all the
villages, and snatching
elephants!
Oh, my!
Grandpa'’s village could be
next!
Where'’s Mama, Celeste?
Is Mama okay?
I hope so, Arthur.
She'’s still there.
Oh!
I ran back here as fast as I
could to get help!
Don'’t worry, Celeste.
We'’ll do everything we can,
won'’t we?
Oh, uh, absolutely.
There'’s certainly no harm in
looking into the matter.
We'’ll appoint a committee
at once!
A committee?
Agreed!
Make a note of that, Troubadour.
We'’ll want a full report.
BABAR: Wait a minute!
We haven'’t got time for that.
Let'’s just send the army out
there, and have them set up some
defences.
Babar, please!
A war is hardly something we
want to rush into.
But--
Cornelius is right, Your
Majesty.
After all, her story could be a
complete exaggeration.
Do you think I'’m making this
up?
Now, now, child.
The point is that civilized
animals simply don'’t go around
snatching one another.
I mean, it just isn'’t done.
Oh, it most certainly isn'’t.
[Laughing]
The very idea, snatching
elephants!
Oh!
Celeste!
Celeste, wait!
My word!
Celeste!
[Celeste crying]
[Sniffling, crying]
Celeste?
My mama'’s in terrible danger!
Why won'’t anyone believe me?
I believe you, Celeste, and I
really do want to help.
[Crying]
My mama means everything to
me.
I know how important a mother
can be.
If anything ever happened to
her, I'’d just--
Don'’t worry, Celeste.
Nothing'’s going to happen to
her.
I'’m going to go back up there
and order them to get the army
ready, and I'’ll lead them to
your village myself!
Oh, thank you, Babar!
Hey, Celeste!
Where are you going?
I'’ve got to get back to my
family.
They need me!
Come as fast as you can, Babar!
We'’re counting on you!
True to my word, I ordered
Cornelius to call out the
Elephant Army.
I waited, and waited... and
waited.
Unfortunately, getting them
ready to march was much more
difficult than I had
anticipated.
Why does everything have to
take so long?
You may not think so, but
you'’ve accomplished a lot today.
But the army won'’t be ready
for three more days!
That does seem like a long
time.
The rhinos could be attacking
right now!
And Celeste is counting on me.
[Owl hooting in distance]
What should I do, Madame?
That decision isn'’t mine to
make.
You have to do what you feel
is right.
But Cornelius and Pompadour
said that we shouldn'’t rush into
things.
You are the king.
In the end, the decision must be
your own.
Thank you, Madame.
♪
Be careful, Babar.
ARTHUR: What are we doing?
Hold this for me.
Wouldn'’t it be better if we
waited until tomorrow?
Tomorrow could be too late,
Arthur.
But Babar, we can'’t stop
Rataxes all by ourselves!
Maybe not, but I have to try.
What about Cornelius and
Pompadour?
They'’re going to be really
worried!
I know.
I wish there was some other way,
but...
That'’s it!
What?!
Arthur, look!
You look exactly like me!
All us little elephants look
the same.
Yeah, but in my crown and
robe, everyone will think
you'’re me!
Huh?
It'’s perfect!
They won'’t even know I'm gone.
But I'’m going with you!
I could be a big help-- oops.
You can help me most by
staying here, Arthur.
Hold the fort till I get back.
But Babar, what are--
I'’m depending on you now.
[Sighing]
Mm-hmm.
Good luck, pal.
Wait!
I'’m not ready!
What if Cornelius comes?
CORNELIUS: Babar?
Ah, there you are, Babar.
Lovely night, isn'’t it?
Just look at those stars.
[Cornelius sighing]
I could just stand here forever.
[Gulping]
I do hope you understand about
all this army business.
These things take time.
It'’s not as if we can just go
charging off into the jungle at
night, you know.
Heh, heh.
Ah, well, good night, Babar.
[Sighing with relief]
Oh, and Babar!
[Gasping]
I think you'’re doing a fine job
as king.
Oh!
So, with Arthur in my place,
I was on my way... or so I
thought.
Hmm.
Aha!
[Whistling]
Halt, who goes there?
Why?
Uh, I don'’t know.
We'’re supposed to say that to
anyone who tries to get in.
But I'’m already in!
Oh, uh...
So, why don'’t you let me out,
so I can try to come in, so you
can say, "Halt, who goes there?"
Oh, okay!
[Whistling]
[Grunting]
Ugh!
There you go!
Thank you!
[Whistling]
[Grunting]
Okay, now!
BOTH: Halt, who goes there?
Hmm?
Halt, who goes there?
Halt, who goes there?
[Animal sounds]
Huh?
[Whistling]
[Twig snapping]
Rowr!
[Babar laughing]
[Snarling]
Ahh!
[Snarling]
Meow!
[Gulping]
Suddenly, I was filled with
an overwhelming feeling of
foreboding.
A fear that I might never see
my home again.
But I was determined to help
Celeste and her mother.
And with that as my guide, I
marched off into the unknown.
[Owl hooting]
Hmm.
According to this map, Celeste'’s
village should be right about...
here!
[Gasping]
Oh, no, Celeste!
Whoa!
Ugh!
Roar!
[Gasping]
Celeste!
Why did I let her go back alone?
Ugh, ugh!
Ahh!
[Splashing]
[Elephants crying]
[Coughing]
[Birds squawking]
Ahhh!
Run!
[Gasping]
[Laughing evilly]
[Shouting, chaos]

Go, go, run!
Come on, you, let'’s go!
No!
Leave her alone!

Ahh!

[Young elephant crying]
Huh?
[Elephants trumpeting]
[Trumpeting, shrieking]
Stop it!
Ugh!
Ugh, oh!
[Rhinos shouting]
Get '’em, come on!
Ah!
Oh!
[Elephants trumpeting]
[Children crying]
Heh, heh, rowr!
[Children gasping]
[Rhino snickering]
Grrr!
That'’s it!
CELESTE: Mama!
Huh?
Mama!
Celeste?
Mama!
What are you doing to my mother?
Celeste!
Run, Celeste!
Save yourself!
Not without you!
I'’m coming!
[Shouting, trumpeting]
[Babar trumpeting weakly]
We got her now!
Ah!
Babar!
Ugh!
Why, you little-- get him!
Get him!
Hold on, get him!
Ugh!
Huh?
Oh!
Grrrr!
Ugh!
[Moaning dizzily]
Let go of me!
Uggh!
Oh, ugh!
[Celeste screaming]
Ha, ha, ha!
BABAR: Celeste?
CELESTE: Mama, Mama!
I'’m... coming... ugh!
Rataxes!
Rataxes!
RHINOS: Rataxes, Rataxes!
CELESTE: Help!
Help!
Help!
Somebody help me!
What?
Oh...
Help!
I'’m coming, Celeste.
Ugh, oh!
[Groaning]
Help!
Are you all right?
Babar, thank goodness you'’re
okay!
Quick, help me out of here!
Okay, hang on.
[Sighing]
Here, grab onto this.
Ugh, got it!
[Grunting]
Babar, what happened?
I thought you were bringing your
army with you.
Uh, I'’m afraid they won't be
ready for a couple of days.
A couple of days?!
Ah!
That'’s going to be too late!
The rhinos will be miles away!
No, Celeste, this time I'’m
coming with you.
We'’ll find your mother together.
This way, young'’ins!
Follow me.
Grandpa!
Oh, Grandpa, I'’m so glad you're
all right!
Eh?
What'’s that?
Uh, I said I'’m glad you're
all right!
Oh, yes, it was a terrible
fight, but I took care of these
young'’ins, hid them in the
bushes.
Babar and I have to go after
the rhinos!
Can you take the little ones to
the palace?
Uh, they'’re getting awfully
hungry, though.
Sir, go to the palace with
the little ones!
Oh, yes, some buttered buns
would do fine!
Uh, but don'’t you think I ought
to get them to the palace first?
It'’s much safer there, you know.
Uh, you'’re absolutely right,
Grandpa.
Good luck!
Heh, heh!
Come on, little tykers!
Old Tusk'’ll look after ya!
[Thudding]
Heh, heh!
Phew!
They'’ll be fine, Celeste.
We'’d better get going.
There'’s a long road ahead of us.
[Birds squawking]
CELESTE: I'’ve never gone this
far into the jungle, have you?
No, Cornelius says that no
elephant has ever crossed into
rhino territory.
Babar, what exactly are we
going to do when we find
Rataxes?
I don'’t know, but we'll think
of something.
I'’m sorry I let you down,
Celeste.
I am king, but I'’m also new
at being in charge.
You didn'’t let me down,
Babar.
You came, didn'’t you?

Rataxes and his army are
marching on Elephantland?
That'’s right.
We'’ve got to get ahead of them
and warn the elephants before
it'’s too late!
Can you help us, Croc?
It'’s about time someone
taught those rotten rhino
troublemakers to keep their
horns out of other people'’s
business!
You can count on me, Babar.
Me and every croc in the jungle.
Great!
Just get us as close to
Elephantland as you can.

[Sputtering]
I just knew this plan was
all wet!
Come on!
[Laughing]
How are we going to sneak
past all those rhinos?
Leave that to me.
Cheers!
[Laughing heartily]
Huh?
This isn'’t going to work!
It'’ll work.
If anybody stops us, let me do
the talking.
You just move your lips.
[Muffled] I can'’t move my
lips with this banana in my
mouth.
What?
I can'’t move my lips with
this banana in my mouth!
Well, do the best you can.
Look out!
Oof!
BABAR: Whoa!
Hey, what'’s the matter with
you, soldier?
BABAR: Quiet, you fool!
Special detail.
Oh!
Huh?
Wait a minute, what special
detail?
Shh, come here.
Super-secret special detail.
Oh, why didn'’t you say so?
Come on, Rataxes has been
waiting for your report.
Then, we smash '’em here!
And we crush '’em there!
And we--
Super-secret special detail
reporting, sir!
Ah!
Uh...
Heh, heh!
Well, spy, where are their
troops?
Uh, heh!
BABAR: There!
1000 crack troops on that side
of the gate!
Ha, ha, ha!
What did I tell you?
A puny 1000.
[Laughing]
CELESTE: And 10,000 more on
that side of the gate!
11,000, huh?
Hmm, now that'’s something to
think about.
Yeah, and there'’s a million
more guarding the palace!
A million?
And a zillion more waiting
in reserve!
BABAR: Zephir!
Huh?
Uh, give or take a dozen
or so.
Argh!
Uh-oh.
It was the voice, wasn'’t it?
Stand back!
Watch it!
He'’s got a banana!
And I'’m not afraid to use it!
Ahh!
Stand back, all of you!
They'’re not standing back!
Out of my way!
En garde!
Rrr!
Ugh!
Roarrr!
Ahhh!
[Rhinos shouting]
Babar, look out!
Grrr!
Whoa!
Aha!
[Swords clanging]
Aha!
[Rhinos shouting]
Nice try, but it'’s not going
to work!
Rowr!
Oh!
Get ready to run straight for
the back of the tent.
[Rataxes growling]
Now!
[Crashing]
[Shouting, chaos]
Follow me!
Huh?
Hey, hey!
Keep going!
RHINO: After them!
Ahhh!
Hey!
Hurry!
Argh!
Uh-oh!
Quick, up there!
What is this thing?
RHINOS: Rrrrr!
Yahh!
Oof!
Babar?
Ahhhh!
Here, trade ya!
Whoa!
Thank you!
Ugh!
Okay, let'’s get out of here.
Suits me!
How do you start this thing?
[Rhinos growling]
Like this!
CELESTE: Oh, no.
[All screaming]
Huh?
Look out below!
[Splashing]
What is the meaning of this?
Swimming in public fountains
is strictly prohibited!
Babar!
Celeste!
Your Majesty?
Arthur!
Arthur?
Welcome home, Babar.
Babar?!
GUARD: Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Rataxes is at the gate!
Rataxes?!
He'’s demanding our immediate
surrender!
Hmm.
What?
[Explosions]
My tusks!
RHINOS: Fire, fire!
Just look at them all!
Fire!
Oh!
Oh!
Now, that wasn'’t the least bit
friendly.
RATAXES: All right,
elephants!
You can make this easy for us,
or hard for yourselves!
What does he mean?
Surrender completely, or be
wiped off the map!
Oh.
You'’ve got one hour to
decide!
One hour?
But this is unheard of!
We should demand a complete
apology!
That'’s it!
Demand an apology?
We'’re going to take action!
BOTH: We are?
Citizens of Elephantland,
they have us outnumbered, but I
think I know how we can outsmart
them.
Are you with me?
ELEPHANTS: Yes!
Long live King Babar!
Good, then, here'’s what we're
going to do.

I'’m coming out!
Ha!
I told you this would be easy.
Oh, sire, you surely don'’t
intend on meeting with that
ruffian?
We need more time.
We'’ve got to try and stall them.
Arthur!
As soon as this thing'’s ready,
sound the horn!
Right, Your Majesty!
Come on, come on!

Well, runt, are you going to
surrender, or be annihilated?
Cornelius, Pompadour, what do
you think we should do?
Uh, well, uh, that'’s... a
difficult decision, Babar.
I'’d say it warrants a great
deal of thought.
Oh, a very great deal,
indeed.
In fact, I would say we
appoint a committee.

A committee?
Precisely, my good fellow.

This is my answer.
You can either get off our

Why, you little--

What was that?
The consequences.

We'’re all very proud of both
of you.
Hey, I risked my life and
limb out there too, you know!

Oh, no!
I'’ve just received the most
distressing news!
What?
What is it?
It'’s our annual parade!
The committee couldn'’t agree on
the name for it!
Now, now, calm yourself,
Pompadour.
I'’m sure our king will think of
something.
KING BABAR: And so, that
afternoon, in celebration of
our victory over the rhinos, we
held our very first victory
parade.
[Snoring softly]
Sweet dreams, children.
[Door creaking]
POM: Hey, Alexander!
ALEXANDER: Hmm?
Wake up!
Huh?
Great story, huh?
Yeah!

I am King Babar!"

Ha, en garde!"
