Now take care, sweetie
and call me right away
if anything goes wrong.
Okay, Mom.
Honey,
Otto's not a little boy anymore.
Otto, if there's a real emergency,
you know,
and something really bad happens call 911,
okay?
What do you mean,
"really bad?"
I don't know,
a fire or lightening, an earthquake,
a bad hair day,
that kinda stuff.
- What?
- Yeah.
Oh, Mom, come on.
I'm spending my summer vacation
here at the zoo with Benjamin.
Nothing bad'll happen.
Ah, you're right.
Have fun at the beach!
Morning, Mrs. Meier!
- Hello, Otto.
Good morning!
Hey,
you two, morning!
Hey, Leo!
Patty, Polly, hey there!
Morning, Gunther!
Hi, Schnippy!
One, two, can you hear me?
Sorry about the feedback.
Okay, hello there,
I'm Karla Kolumna
and I welcome you all
on this beautiful day
to the Neustadt Zoo.
And now, here's our zoo director,
Mr. Tierlieb.
Woo!
A warm welcome to all of you.
Thank you for joining us for
our charity extravaganza.
In a moment,
you'll hear our own band,
Karl and the Zoomaniacs!
Now, you may ask,
"How can I support this great zoo?"
By buying raffle tickets, hmm?
- Morning!
- Good morning!
- Hello!
- Hi, Karl!
- Hey, Otto.
- So where's Benjamin?
I don't know,
he should be here by now.
I'll check his house,
maybe he's there.
Super.
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Ha, oh boy.
Benjamin, wake up!
Ha!
Good morning, Otto!
Morning.
I felt like I was
smelling sugar just now.
What sugar?
No, you must have been dreaming.
Okay,
I'll sleep a little longer then.
No,
you need to get up right away!
Everyone's expecting you,
they're waiting.
What,
it's only 6 a.m.
It's too early for them
to be expecting me!
No, it's a quarter past nine!
Really, oh guess you're right.
It's a little past nine.
Only a quarter past nine.
Oh, it's already past nine!
That's not good!
So I'm really late.
Oh no,
everyone must be waiting for me.
What should I wear?
Oh dear, past nine.
Oh my,
I'm supposed to help with the charity event!
- Benjamin?
- What is it?
You're going to
wear your PJ's?
My pajamas?
Whoopsie!
I gotta hurry!
Good luck to you!
They should be here by now.
We can't wait much longer!
Right, I know what you mean.
Karl, start playing, go ahead!
Let's go.
We are the Zoomaniacs,
so let's start off with a classic.
♪ In a beautiful green meadow
♪ There's a big gray mountain
♪ Stretches his
legs up to the sky ♪
♪ Next to him there is a dwarf
♪ No, the dwarf is Otto
♪ And the mountain an elephant
♪ He is friendly and can speak
♪ Everybody knows him
♪ And he likes to
lie in the sun ♪
♪ And all around him
all the bees buzz ♪
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Yes?
Now they're calling my name!
One, two, one,
two, three, four!
Benjamin!
Whoa, ah!
Sorry, coming through!
Watch out, runaway skateboard!
Benjamin?
Sorry,
I kind of got off on the wrong foot.
Yeah.
Everyone please excuse this.
Well,
I really don't know what just happened there.
That was...
- That was quite a moment!
Unexpected things
happen here at our zoo.
Sorry about that, really.
So please,
buy some raffle tickets
and help us keep the
Neustadt Zoo going.
- Oh, my ice cream.
- Sorry!
Wait, here.
- Huh?
All for me?
- Mm hmm.
- Benjamin!
- Otto!
What happened?
When I got here,
I scared this little girl
and she dropped
her ice cream cone
but I was able to calm her down.
What little girl?
The one that I
gave the balloons.
Yoo hoo, Mama!
Look at me, I can fly!
Mia,
you come back here right now!
There she goes,
what can we do?
The playground!
Mia!
We're coming!
Ai, yi, yi, oh boy, where?
There she is in those trees!
Please don't let go!
Could I please borrow that?
Thank you!
What are you doing,
Otto?
Benjamin,
I need you to help me!
Oh, you think that'll work?
Yes,
we have to hurry or I'll miss her!
Okay!
- Ah.
- A ha!
Yeah!
Otto,
be careful and hold on tight!
Oh boy, oh boy!
Great idea, Otto!
That's it, keep it up!
It worked!
You did it, how great!
Yeah, but how am I gonna get.
Whoa!
Phew.
That really was,
Incredibly cool!
Thank you.
Glad to help.
That was fun,
Mama, can I do it again?
This is going to be
the best summer ever!
We're going to share
good times and have fun!
Sure, for instance,
eating ice cream.
- And camping.
- Chocolate ice cream.
- And canoeing!
- And vanilla!
We can build a camp fire.
And of course strawberry too.
I love it.
Yeah!
Benjamin,
you really are my best friend.
- Well you're not.
- Huh?
You are my very best friend!
Hey, look.
Oh there's not
even enough here
to pay for all the
broken benches.
He looks worried.
If this keeps up, then...
Then what?
Huh, it's nothing,
no worries.
Uh oh,
when Mr. Tierlieb says it's nothing,
that's not a good thing, no.
Think the zoo will
have to shut down soon?
What?
No, we can't let that happen.
We must do something
to help him.
You're right.
- There, done.
- Perfect.
- Whoa!
- I guess,
we need extra tough
nails for when I sit.
What do I see?
A Loxodonta africanus
and a Homo sapien.
A loxdo what?
A Loxondonta africanus.
Yes,
I mean an elephant and a person.
But you two are friends.
- Ooh.
That's rather strange.
Really?
I don't see what's so
strange about that.
It would be much
stranger if we weren't.
I mean,
we've always been really good friends.
How silly of me.
My name is White, Walter White.
I'm Benjamin and this is Otto.
What are you doing here?
Oh, observing.
Ob whatting?
For example,
the Gracula religiosa
or the Psittaciformes macaw.
Ca cow?
- No, Macaw!
- Huh?
- He must mean parrot!
- Exactly!
Here, listen to this.
Ah, mm hmm.
Gotcha,
so then what are you serving?
Observing,
it's like secretly spying on someone.
You're spying?
You mean like a secret agent?
Correct,
in fact I used to be one.
You were a secret agent?
Really?
- Oh, that was ages ago.
I was,
I have a few tales I can tell you.
But nobody wants to hear
those stories these days.
Being a spy must be tough.
Well,
anyway my mission is calling.
So then,
my pleasure meeting you both, yeah.
Bye now.
Bye, bye, Walter.
- You believe it?
- What?
That he was once a spy?
Why not?
Some people were bus drivers
or bakers or teachers.
So it's possible that
Walter was once a...
A secret agent, yeah, yeah.
- Mm hmm.
- From what I'm seeing,
well it's really so very, very
- Who's that?
- How can I say it?
- What?
It's so green!
All these cute
animals everywhere.
Not true.
In fact these animals are...
Pichler!
I hope I didn't
exaggerate too much?
Not at all.
This zoo has a lot of potential.
Yes, I think so.
Potential?
That's a word from math class.
I forget what it means.
Do you know that lady?
No.
Ah, Mr. Tierlieb.
Ah, Mr. Mayor.
Good news,
I've given an assignment to Mrs. Zack here.
She'll be modernizing this part.
I see.
That is big news.
So when?
We will begin organizing
our plan of action this evening,
alright?
This evening?
That's right, tonight.
But shouldn't we
take this slowly?
I mean...
- This should please you!
This place hasn't made
a profit in years.
This is in the best interests
of the tax payers and the zoo.
You know as mayor,
I face questions concerning the fact
that this place costs
us citizens money,
so that has to change, yeah?
Of course I
understand that but...
What the heck is this?
What is that hole in the wall for?
- Well.
- Well?
It's a free entrance for kids.
- Oh.
- Ah!
All children should
pay to get in.
The sorry state of this place
is why I've been hired here.
Cheaper.
What's needed here's
a complete makeover!
- Oh.
- Hmm.
There's so much open space,
wow.
The animals here seem
lovely yet so do cat videos.
But where's the video surveillance,
the live chat,
the interactive possibilities?
We must look to the future,
Mr. Tierlieb
and there is something
missing here.
Bars and cages.
Oh,
those things aren't necessary here.
You're a
man with a sweet heart.
But I'd say you're naive.
Security here is a must.
But our animals here
are tame and peaceful.
I'm concerned about your animals'
welfare.
I mean you certainly don't...
Well I sure feel safe here,
even without bars and cages.
Since I've lived here,
I've never felt afraid of anyone.
The animals are doing
great just the way they are.
They don't need cages.
Benjamin Blossom!
I've heard great
things about you.
You have?
Mm hmm and everything
I've heard was good!
You're big, you can speak,
you're just terrific.
So may I ask you,
are you an animal
or are you a manimal?
- A what?
- A mixture of man and animal.
And who are you, kid?
This is my best friend, Otto.
He helps around here.
We just finished repairing
that bench over there.
Oh, how cute.
You're both cute little
drops in the ocean.
And I suppose you think you
two drips can save the zoo?
How awful!
- We have to do something.
- He just wants that banana!
Calm down.
You filthy ape!
I'm very sorry Miss Zack.
You are completely right.
Things at the zoo must change.
Wowee,
she's supposed to fix the zoo?
Well they said we have to
keep up with the times here.
Oh boy.
It may not work well but
at least it still works, huh?
- Okay.
- So, let's test this.
It's sturdy as an elephant.
Mm hmm.
What did that
Miss Zack lady mean
when she called us
drops in the ocean?
'Cause our zoo needs lots of money
'cause it's so broken down
and we don't have
enough funds to fix it.
A silly bag's money
can't fix up this place
like you and I can.
I know,
so we just gotta keep working.
But first let's
have a bit of sugar.
Something sweet always
helps me to work better.
Yeah, sure.
Ah, afternoon Miss Meier.
Nice to see you Mr. White.
Yes, I...
What's going on?
Oh.
Hmm.
Miss Zack, what is this?
My mobile center for my
action plan for the zoo.
Isn't it just wonderful?
Oh,
here are my two helper coworkers,
Hans and Franz.
Cool think tank, right?
We all need clean space to think,
mister.
Creative visualization,
brain waves.
Yes,
so here is a list with my suggestions
for the improvements
we need to...
Changes.
Believe me,
I know exactly what changes
are good and necessary.
The more we can
modernize the zoo,
the better for
everyone involved.
I know you agree.
I'm sure that's what
the children want.
So we will make them happy
with a new playground
that we'll call the
entertainment place.
Entertainment, oh.
So that project's
very promising.
Yes,
that really sounds very promising for us.
- Mega.
- And chill.
Mega chill.
Ooh whoop!
Whoa,
that thing's quite a set up, huh?
Oh yeah,
it's a folding out new thingamajig.
And we're getting
a new playground
so that'll be nice.
Hmm,
I've got a bad feeling about those folks.
I'm feeling great about this.
They have no idea.
They're naive.
- They're so lame.
- Yeah, lame losers.
That's why we're here.
We're going to dust
off this run down zoo,
shake it up and jolt
it into the future.
The zoo of tomorrow.
Effective, modern,
profit oriented.
Small is the new big.
Anything else would
be wasting resources.
Sharing space is important.
And sharing
resources is vital.
People share cars,
living space and employment.
So these stupid animals
can share enclosures too.
Yo, enclosure sharing.
So the animals get ignored,
cool.
And then very soon
the zoo get a slick
merchandising shop built
and Keeper Karl's house will,
ah, bye bye,
be torn down to save more space.
So he'll be forced to share
a flat with old Tierlieb.
And here comes the beautiful,
expensive, luxury apartments.
Right here, all with a view of the zoo lake.
Wow, zoo shizzle dizzle.
Zooer stylish.
But shush, these dunderheads
aren't completely convinced yet.
As long as they don't
know what we're doing,
it's all the better for us.
That's how we win, hmm?
Selfie!
Oh yes, and before I forget,
there's this big,
fat, talking elephant,
that for us could be useful.
- It works.
- Great!
- Hello there, Otto!
- Mm hmm.
As you can see,
we're doing really well here.
But your dad's afraid
he'll never work again,
'cause he decided all he
ever wants to do is lie down.
I'm never getting up again.
We miss you little guy!
Hello!
Oh, too bad you're not here
soaking up the sun with us.
But we're sure you're having fun too,
huh?
Son,
we're really looking forward to hugging you
and seeing you soon.
And say hello to
Benjamin for us.
- Bye!
- Toodaloo!
They sure do miss you a lot,
Otto.
Mm, but I still can't imagine
having more fun than being here.
The zoo's a fun place to be.
And I find it elephantastic
that you're here too.
Hmm.
What's bothering you, Otto?
It's that Miss Zack.
Come on,
she's gotta lotta cool stuff planned.
I think she's
actually quite nice.
Hmm, I guess you're right.
Wowee, hey tomorrow maybe
we should try out the boat!
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
Quit your snoring, will you?
But I'm not snoring!
Otto, look at this.
Just what is that?
I don't know.
Let's go check it out.
See,
it's the early bird that gets things done.
I'm thinking you two
like to sleep in a little late,
don't you?
Sure.
So what are you
planning to tear down?
Well,
this place here is pretty old.
- Yeah but...
- And this is the beginning
of creating something
really nice.
With merchandising and a lot
of room for other things.
So will all this
be helping me too?
Well aren't you
part of our future?
I've heard you've been
unhappy for a while
with this rickety feeder wagon
and you complain about always
having to work so hard.
Well, I don't mean to.
We'll brainstorm a
solution to those problems.
Your issues are at the top
of my agenda.
- Oh.
Project
ideas sound super.
And you,
I know you'll wanna pitch in
to help your animal
keeper friend,
'cause he needs to move in.
- Mm hmm.
Mr Tierlieb has lots
of room where he lives
to share his place.
- Yes.
- With Karl.
- Uh.
- What, excuse me?
- Sure.
- Us?
Now if you'll
excuse both of us,
I need to have a chat
with my elephant friend.
- Oh?
- Mm hmm.
About what?
About sugar
treats for example.
Why, sure!
Hello!
You know Benjamin,
I get this feeling,
I don't think you're being
challenged enough here.
I'm not?
And you really have
so much potential.
If you get what I mean?
But I'm not that
good with math.
Hmm and a sense of humor.
Oh yeah,
you have just what it takes
to be the new face of
of the Neustadt Zoo.
CI, corporate identity.
You are the zoo.
- Who, me?
Your face on their
ticket to get in.
We will sell action figures of you,
Benjamin.
Hover boards.
Ears and trunks made of foam,
the works!
Everyone will
come here for you.
And the more zoo visitors there are,
the more money.
And who do you
think that benefits?
It benefits who?
- It helps all of the animals.
- Ah!
- That's right.
- Mm!
Oh ho ho ho ho, so I am the zoo!
That's true, you're it!
With your face and help,
we will save this zoo,
you understand?
Yeah?
But of course,
we'll have to give you
a little bit of a,
kind of, makeover.
I mean the image of the
little friendly elephant
is a bit old fashioned.
It's outdated.
- It is?
And the trumpeting.
- Should I?
- No!
- Baruh!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- No?
- Not that.
- Not cool, dude.
- Just not fancy enough.
Really?
I'm not sure this works.
I think I'm a little too...
Too fat for skinny jeans?
- Mm.
- No way, Benjamin, no!
You are sturdy!
Just the way that an
elephant's supposed to be.
These pants, let's stretch 'em.
Then these work, like so.
- Mm.
- Mm?
Mm hmm.
- Mm mm!
- Mm mm?
Ow!
Sorry for that.
I'd say baggy jeans might fit you better,
hmm?
That's it,
to the left, keep going, good.
Where shall we put it?
Maybe there?
- Sure.
- Or maybe over there.
Where's Benjamin?
We could use his help right now.
Yeah,
I mean how is all my stuff gonna fit in here?
Well...
And nothing against your taste,
Boss,
but I wouldn't exactly
call this modern.
Yeah,
well when I was as young as she is,
everything you see here was
considered quite modern.
I know,
but well that was a long time ago.
Huh?
Sir,
it's just for a little while.
These pants
definitely fit better,
but...
- Perfect!
I don't know.
No, no, no, no,
this fits you a lot better.
I'd say this style is
targeting your market audience.
But I barely
recognize myself though.
Exactly, Benjamin!
You look wonderful now!
In two days we'll have
our first press conference
to introduce you,
that's when you'll be announced
as our new face.
With this new look?
Mega face.
Hey, Alfred!
How'd he get in here?
How cool!
Oh yeah, cool monkey,
say cheese!
Hey, bad monkey, my camera!
Alfred wants to be
a photographer too!
Get him out of here!
- I got ya.
- Hey!
- I don't get it!
- Now come on!
One of us comes from the right,
the other one from the left,
right?
From the left?
- Easy enough?
- Okay, got it.
Alfred, come back!
I wanna see those pictures!
You two, was that the same camera
you took photos with yesterday?
Photos of our new zoo model?
Photos, yeah it's possible I guess.
You worthless idiots!
What are you waiting for?
Go after him, chop, chop!
Okay.
Hey, Benjamin.
Oh wow.
What an outfit.
- It's the new CIA, uh CGI.
- Wow.
I mean corpulent identities.
Whatever that means.
Yeah, that's it.
How does this
dart gun work anyway?
You, dimwit,
it's a tranquilizer gun.
Just aim it and
pull the trigger.
Hey, what are they up to?
They're probably
looking for Alfred.
With a tranquilizer dart gun?
I guess so.
- Let's go try to find out.
- Yes, go!
- Yeah!
- Sure.
- Okay.
- That's what we'll do.
Alfred!
That sounds just awful!
A tranquilizer gun
has never been used
while I have been at this zoo.
I agree completely because
I am a great pacifist.
At the tone,
the time is 11:23 a.m.
I can't reach her,
but this means war.
You can count on me, you'll see.
I could count on
you in the future,
if you would check first with me
and we discuss things.
We will discuss things first,
Mr. Tierlieb
Thank you.
Alfred, Alfred!
Alfred, there you are, buddy.
Come to me.
Wait!
Yo, you,
aren't you a friend of that talking elephant?
Huh?
By any chance did you
see Alfred near here?
No way,
I'm just talking a walk.
Ah, young kids don't ever go for walks,
do they?
Yeah,
actually kids would rather play video games.
Shh, did you hear that?
I'm sure it's just a...
- Alfred!
- Oh yeah!
Hey, hold on!
Wait, you can't do that!
Alfred!
Come on, Alfred!
No, don't!
That sounds like Otto!
He's harmless, stop!
Looks like they're
gonna shoot Alfred!
I won't let them!
- Hey!
- Quit it, stop!
- No, stop it!
- Come on, Hans, do it!
I'm on it, move!
Don't shoot Alfred!
Teroo!
Oops.
Enough!
Oh man, I think he's sleeping.
Oh, Franz.
I'll get help.
- Someone brings me calm.
- Sorry, Zora.
Amateur!
It's important that you
catch that darn monkey!
That camera's pictures can't
fall into the wrong hands!
Out of the way, old man!
Who's an old man?
Idiot!
Relax, schnippy,
you're alright.
Hey, hello.
Cool party, huh?
You live near here?
Hey,
why are you two upside down?
Clean this up.
Shot in the behind?
Sensational,
sounds like a great headline.
What about the other stuff?
They tore down our house
and dressed him in clothes
that aren't his style.
It's just a different look.
Exactly, after all, Otto,
you're always wearing
yellow and blue.
Yellow and blue.
But my new clothes are fancy!
- Huh?
- Miss Zack told me this,
looking hip and cool will
attract a lot more zoo customers.
And more visitors
mean more money.
- She said that?
- Mm hmm.
And her guys were
hunting for Alfred
with a dart stun gun.
Miss Zack was very
sorry about that.
- That woman...
- Walter!
Doesn't seem like
she's actually sorry
about anything she's doing.
I have a bad feeling
about that lady.
Better to keep a
watchful eye on her
than wind up with a black eye.
It's pure espionage.
Information is the key to
judging her and her motives.
Oh that sounds heavy handed.
But you may be right
about investigating.
I'll see what I can find out.
Neustadt is now more
modern and livable.
My dear friends,
friends of Neustadt,
the election for our town's
mayor is approaching fast
and I can only say,
don't believe anyone except me, you see.
Only me, I mean,
I mean you should...
My dear.
Oh, that's just what I need.
Pichler, Pichler!
Pichler!
Yes.
I need absolute quiet.
Good!
Don't let her in here, got it?
Who?
That girl,
the snoopy journalist.
She's coming,
just tell her I'm away.
Hello, there,
let the mayor know I'm here.
Oh, Mr. Mayor.
No time.
Pichler, come on.
Today, a crane arrived at
the zoo to demolish a building.
Your thoughts on modernization
through demolition?
What do I think of it?
- I asked you.
- And what do you think?
I think things
are happening there
that haven't been approved
by the zoo occupants
or Mr. Tierlieb.
That's what you think?
Yes and why do
you think Alfred Ape
is being hunted with a dart gun?
- What do you think I think?
- I think you think
you can weasel your way out of this.
If that's what you
wanna think I think,
well I've gotta go.
Ah, Mr. Mayor, don't get lost
running away from
my zoo questions.
Sure,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Pichler, come on!
- Tell me, Otto?
- Hmm?
Does it bother you that
Miss Zack is so nice to me
but she's not so nice to you?
What?
That's nonsense.
I know you care and
want to make the zoo
a better place too.
Yeah but not in the
weird way she does.
You're not suspicious of her?
Sure I am.
Sometimes once you really
get to know people,
they aren't like what
you think they are.
Yeah,
but she's what I think she is.
But even wearing those
weird clothes you have on,
I still like you
just the way you are.
I like you just
the way you are too.
You're my best buddy, Otto.
Hmm.
You know what I
think we should do now?

Shot in the behind,
shot in the behind!
Read it all here,
all the amazing new zoo happenings!
Shot in the behind!
- Hey there, I'll take one of those please.
- Read all about it!
Shot in the behind!
Either the mayor
is playing dumb
or he really is that stupid,
but with him, who knows.
But then I did learn something
about Miss Zack
that's interesting.
You did?
She changed over the
Neustadt Candy Factory
into a pear factory.
- She did?
- Yeah.
You mean that factory
that makes those
biter cough tablets?
- Yup.
- Huh?
Yeah Benjamin,
they taste even worse
than dill pickles
with cinnamon dew.
- Ugh!
- It's a liver flavored
watermelon that's
in a cough drop.
- Ugh, yuck!
- Hmm mm.
Hey,
what are you doing with that?
That's our favorite hammock!
Hey, is that Alfred?
Oh ho ho, there he is.
And Alfred still has that
camera that's Miss Zack's.
That must be why those
nuts were hunting him
with a dart stun gun!
You're right and they're
still looking for him.
Know what I think?
It's not just about
getting back that camera.
That's what I'm thinking.
Alfred,
could you please come down?
Yeah, come!
He's sure having fun
hanging on to that camera.
But I know something
Alfred likes even better.
What is it?
Oh yeah.
Alfred,
trade you this for that camera?
Thank you, Alfred.
I don't believe this!
There's Miss Zack.
And is that our zoo?
It can't be,
what are those giant houses doing
on the zoo's lake?
Good question.
Those houses look huge.
How weird.
Sensational,
what will Miss Zack have to say about this?
- Hello.
- Oh my!
What the heck is this then?
Who would
do such a thing?
Unbelievable.
Don't worry, little girl,
we'll see you get out.
Please move back a bit.
Thank you, Benjamin!
Oh, you're welcome.
Have a good time at the zoo.
Thanks!
Many zoo residents
are having to resist
in somewhat
confrontational ways.
Changing zoo animals' attitudes.
Now one for the camera please.
And very nice.
When will this stop?
Actually these kinds of
cages are for sick animals.
For isolating them.
- Yeah.
And they're not designed to
hold animals for a long time.
Oh,
this is just a temporary measure
until the new
enclosures are ready.
We wouldn't want our bulldozers
flattening our furry friends.
Before you do anything,
you need to check with me first!
She won't because she has
really different plans than you.
Benjamin, my dearest friend.
What's going on with you?
You didn't respect my trumpeting ban,
did you?
No more trumpeting?
Well, I did it.
Here, here's the evidence!
- Oh, my camera!
- Hey!
Oh, oh my,
why it's completely out of date!
May I see those pictures?
Deleted!
It was just some stupid old ideas,
not important.
So you want to improve
the zoo by building more
and pushing the residents out,
that's your plan?
No, the only thing I wanna do
is improve conditions
for everyone.
My own state of the
art robotic creation.
A feeding machine
with it's fuzzy logic,
it nutritionally calculates
the exact amount of food
an animal needs, so,
there's no more waste.
Scanning primate,
Barbary ape,
weight nine kilograms.
Calculating food amount.
Dispatching.
Super,
the ideal feed calculator.
Superior cutting
edge technology,
that's what we call progress.
Scanning primate,
Homo sapiens,
calculating, calculating.
- No, no, no, no, stop!
Dispensing.
- Dispensing.
- Stop, stop!
How do...
- Dispensing.
- Hans, Franz!
- Uh oh!
- Quit it!
- Dispensing.
Stop, off!
We're still in the test phase.
You, stop!
Trust me, this feeding robot
is part of my grandiose
and special plan.
And what
plan is that please?
Saving the Neustadt Zoo.
Come on!
Can't you see she's
misleading us here?
Somehow we've got to prove
exactly what she's doing.
Not easy.
Hmm, there's only one person
that can help us with this.
Are you sure this is
where Walter White lives?
That's what Mrs. Meier said.
Besides, look at this place.
I mean you can see it's like
a real secret agent's mansion.
Well I'm not convinced.
Uh oh!
Oh.
Password?
Hello Walter,
we just wanted to ask if we...
Password!
So what's the password?
- And how should I know?
- Password please!
I've got no clue!
Then just guess.
Sugar treat?
Huh?
Oh!
- Ah!
Huh?
So,
the elephant and his human friend.
Welcome to my headquarters.
Hello Walter.
So the password was
really sugar treats?
Well to be perfectly honest,
I forgot the password for
that door a long time ago.
- What?
- Yeah.
Would you like a nice
cup of hot cocoa?
Why sure!
With plenty of extra
sugar in it please.
Well, maybe later.
We're here because we
could really use a couple
of your secret,
secret agent tips.
Well, yeah,
I'm done with that spy stuff now.
Oh but, oh well, why not.
Follow me.
Now to open this extremely
high security lock,
you need a twelve figure
combination of numbers.
And also two fingerprints
and an iris scan.
Or you just press on the
super secret button I have.
A ha!
Ha ha, cool!
Huh?
Whoa!
Huh?
Oh, this room looks just
like the one I came in from!
Benjamin,
are you coming?
Huh?
Oh, wow look at this!
Oh!
I can't believe it.
These photos of you.
So you're were what you said,
a...
A secret agent!
Crazy!
Wow,
a remote controlled submarine!
With a camera
and dolphin sonar.
It can reach the deepest depth of the ocean.
- You mean seven miles deep?
- Mm hmm.
Huh, what's with this watch?
Oh, it has many features.
There's a hidden camera in it,
radar,
a shortwave radio and it can
also tell you what time it is.
A watch that tells time?
So is there a hidden
microphone in these flowers?
No, no, actually that is well,
more of a private project.
With all this stuff
you've got here,
I bet we could sneak right
into Miss Zack's office!
What?
Sneak into Miss Zack's?
Oh, Otto,
you want to break in there?
What?
Not break in, no!
We don't want to steal anything.
We just wanna look around.
So we can see if the
zoo model in that photo
really was only an old idea.
No, Benjamin, she lied to you.
She lies all the time.
You can't believe a woman
who ordered you to
stop trumpeting.
That's part of who you are.
That's true.
Let's see if there's
something we can use in here.
- Ooh!
- Whoa!
Help yourselves.
Ha ha, yeah!
Oh dear.
Even saving everything we can,
we'll be broke soon without
help from outside sources.
I don't feel like it's
my place to give advice
but if the budget books look
anything like this then...
Huh.
That was weird.
What is this?
Toothbrush water.
Oh, interesting.
We need to sneak into her lab
without being seen by those cameras.
- Copy that.
- Copy what?
Just do what I do!
Otto, all clear, come on over!
Wow,
I guess that's another way to do it.
Okay,
now we just need to get in there.
Mm, I smell sugar cubes.
Focus, Benjamin, concentrate.
But Otto,
I mean I smell sugar cubes that are inside.
If I can smell them from here,
that means...
There's an open window!
Great, Benjamin!
Where exactly?
Up there.
A skylight, of course!
But how are we
gonna get up there?
No problem.
Oh!
Oi, oi, oi.
That's really high.
You wanna find out
what's going on or not?
Huh, oh.
Here we go.
I don't know.
Benjamin, get up here!
I'll be right there.
It should probably only
take about five hours.
Oh, Otto, watch it!
Maybe you should
use two ropes.
Oh come on, I'm not that fat.
Oh.
So much for keeping our zoo.
Ooh!
I guess I'm heavier than
I thought after all.
So far, so good.
Right.
Miss Zack,
this was just a silly prank
by a curious young boy
and a friendly elephant.
Always sticking together, hmm?
I'm not sure I can support
your zoo any longer.
So you're threatening me?
But he didn't have
anything to do with this!
Benjamin and me thought of it.
Oh really?
I think it's much more likely
that you, dear Benjamin,
had Otto persuade you to join him
in breaking in here.
Well, I...
I get the distinct
feeling your little friend
doesn't know what's
right or good for you.
And as for our beautiful
new zoo and great plans,
Otto knows much less
about them than you do.
Oh yeah?
We'll see.
I saw the model of your
beautiful new zoo here.
Really?
And just what model is that?
Benjamin you saw it too,
right?
Everything went so fast.
It was dark and I was coming
down and then the rope broke!
You should have used two ropes
like I was telling you to.
Oh man,
I always do everything wrong.
So he meant that you're fat?
- What?
- No, I'd never say that to you.
What did you mean then?
Let's calm down, okay?
Friends just don't
say things like that.
They don't, never, mm mm.
Wait a sec, tell me Benjamin,
are we still friends or what?
I didn't say
anything like that!
So you'd rather be her
friends instead of mine?
Now you're saying that
kind of stuff again.
Oh man,
everything was so peaceful before.
But now it's all
fighting and strife.
Oh sure, and that's my fault,
you think?
No, I didn't,
it's nobody's fault.
I really was too naive.
I thought all this time,
having a real elephant like you
as my best friend,
could work out.
What?
Otto!
Oh boy, oh boy.
What have I gone and done now.
Neither of them have
said a single word.
Benjamin, hi there!
- Benj...
- Benjamin, Benjamin!
Mm hmm!
That fat,
good for nothing elephant.
He still won't talk.
We've tried peanuts
and everything.
I know what will work.
I've got some news about Otto!
Big news to share!
Oh, my dear one.
Come, sit down.
So what's going on with Otto?
Oh, it's bad.
Otto,
I don't think he's coming back here.
So that was your big news?
No, now let us begin.
Once again,
starting right where we left off before.
Tomorrow is our
press conference.
So let's see if we can visualize
a new trademark image for that.
Wait,
that wasn't any news from Otto,
you were just lying to me!
Lying to you?
Benjamin, I'd never do such a...
Otto said you lied to me
and I didn't believe him!
But I'm not helping you anymore!
Whoa, remain calm.
I'm not gonna do anything!
That elephant's the bomb!
And from here on,
I'll trumpet when I want!
Teroo, teroo!
- Shush, enough!
- Teroo!
- Alright, you win!
- Teroo!
I understand.
And you should.
Let's make peace, mm hmm?
Please sit.
- Hmm.
Sweets for the sweet?
Mm hmm.
Hmm.
I'll get Otto to come back
and in the future,
every step I discuss with you right here.
Agreed?
- Mm hmm, hmm.
And for doing that,
we'll be good friends again, hmm?
I know humans and elephants
can't be real friends!
I see, no friendship then?
I need to have a moment to myself,
alone.
And meanwhile, you can quietly
think over my suggestion.
Hmm.
Hello,
what are you working on?
Well this is.
So much for this one.
And yes, this one.
Wait a minute, so tell me.
Did the Zack lady get a
new workplace for herself?
I'm not exactly sure.
Oh,
wait I have something for you to see.
Take a look,
this here is not a normal walking cane.
Uh huh.
See this little
opening right here?
Mm hmm.
Watch closely, get ready.
Then!
Wow.
So what's happened
that has you so down?
I guess it's a
friendship thing.
Ah, Benjamin?
Huh, he's an elephant.
- Of course!
- And he'll only be your friend
if you give him
treats like sugar.
Ah,
not trusting that you have a true friend
isn't a good thing either.
When I was younger and working,
I was always out
there on the road,
traveling all over the world,
meeting all kinds of people.
Ladies, nice people, yes.
But I never had a really good
friend in all those years.
Then you don't know what I mean,
hmm.
Yes of course, but I do know
that sometimes people break
up with their friends,
whether that friend
is an elephant or not.
It happens, doesn't it?
Sure!
That stubborn elephant!
He's fighting it!
I know I shouldn't be talking,
but why are we whispering?
You say you won't talk
but you just keep talking!
What?
Silence!
No more talking!
Sorry,
I didn't wanna talk but the silence was...
Uh, mm mm!
Only seconds
away from nap time.
- Mm.
- One, two, goodnight!
You think that really worked?
Of course.
He could be awake and
just playing possum.
Can a talking elephant do
something that clever?
Idiots, go, chop, chop!
Get rid of the elephant!
I have to prepare for the press conference,
bye bye.
Oh shizzle,
the elephant's too heavy.
Go on, push!
- What?
Why me?
'Cause I crank better than you.
I crank just as well as you.
Check out this dog vid, man.
Ha, a pirate pug,
how rad is that?
Wow, that's amazing.
- Check it, there's more!
- Ar!
Benjamin, what's up?
It's your friend 'tto here.
That liquid stuff looks lousy.
How 'bout I feed
you some real food.
Karl!
Alfred,
did you just talk to me?
Hey, Karl.
Otto,
I just thought Alfred was talking to me.
No one's been feeling too good
since you and Benjamin
aren't getting along.
Yeah, do you know where he is?
Oh sure, he's over at Zack's.
- What?
- Yeah.
Well who do we have here?
Hi, little guy.
Where's Benjamin?
Didn't anyone tell you yet?
No, tell me what?
Oh, I guess not.
Well there's no surprise.
He's left.
What?
Gone, maybe for good.
He figured he needs time off.
He must want a
better life for him.
But why would you care?
He knows you don't.
- Uh uh.
- Oh yeah.
He was so disappointed in you.
But you know,
he said humans and elephants
can never be friends.
She is lying!
Benjamin wouldn't leave just
because of some stupid fight.
Would he?
No, he wouldn't, really.
Never, I know Benjamin,
he wouldn't.
Yeah, he'd never just leave.
But it is rather strange.
We should look for him.
♪ In a beautiful green meadow
♪ There's a big gray mountain
♪ Stretches his
legs up to the sky ♪
♪ Next to him there is a dwarf
♪ No the dwarf is Otto
♪ And the mountain an elephant
♪ He is friendly and can speak
♪ And everybody knows him

♪ Have you seen Benjamin
Excuse me,
have you seen Benjamin?
- No, sorry.
- I haven't seen him.
Excuse me,
have you seen Benjamin?
The talking elephant that lives here,
he's missing.
Have you seen Benjamin Blossom?
He's missing.
So, the mayor,
is he going to help out?
Haven't seen him.
Appears he's unavailable.
- Ah.
- Even Pichler can't be found.
That's very strange.
Alright I'm on it.
Have you seen
Benjamin Blossom?
Benjamin, just where are you?
- There he is!
- Hey there!
- Well aloha!
- Hey!
Hey.
- We wanted to call to say goodnight.
- Can you see how beautiful this is?
Hey, everything good, Otto?
- Sure.
- You seem a little sad, son.
I'm not, I'm just a bit tired.
Yes, Otto has the best friend in the world,
Benjamin.
So, you two having fun?
I miss Benjamin.
- What?
- Huh?
- What's that son?
- Nothing.
I'm doing fine.
But I feel really dead tired.
Bye bye.
- You get some good rest.
- Okay.
- Our best to Benjamin.
- Cheers!
Benjamin!
Karl,
Karl, Mr. Tierlieb!
Hello?
Otto?
I think Benjamin
was in the van!
- What?
- What are you talking about?
Hans and Franz had this
van and they were leaving.
I didn't think about it,
but that was the
day he disappeared.
Maybe Benjamin could
have been in there.
Calm down, that's crazy talk.
How could that happen?
Yes but good friends sometimes
sense things like that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay, then I should help you.
That alright?
- Yeah.
But wait, not in pajamas!
- Oh yeah, great, good.
- Some clothes!
Be right back.
Be careful now.
Where could that van be?
Wait, this is the van!
Yeah.
I think I can reach in.
Yeah.
It's them!
Shabizzle my dizzle,
my back hurts, ow.
Well no wonder,
you had that half ton guy
right on top of you.
And you were the idiot who wound
up getting stuck under him.
Bingo.
Otto, I've found something.
That's his hat.
See this wrapper?
Wow, trash.
No, it's,
the mayo's still fresh.
They must have bought
it this morning.
From the Albatross.
Isn't that by the,
The harbor!
Karl, can't we go any faster?
I've got it to the floor
but this thing's just too old.
I was supposed to get a new
one from Miss Zack soon.
No, better forget about that.
Mm hmm.
- Karla!
- Guys, what is it?
We're heading to the harbor.
We think Benjamin was
grabbed and taken there.
What?
So our friend was kidnapped?
That makes sense.
Let's meet up at the harbor.
- Good.
- See you there.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
We did warn you Zora.
Quiet and clean, you putz.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Psst, psst.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
- Hey!
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
This isn't exactly the
greatest place to talk, Mayor.
And just where would
you suggest we speak?
It's total chaos with these
Benjamin Blossom nuts.
They should all be put in jail.
Well, Mr. Mayor,
all citizens have a right
to express their opinion freely.
That's article five of the...
- Quiet, enough.
Your whole idea was
to shrink the zoo
and make it more efficient
and clear out more room for high rise,
high rise condos.
Naturally.
Say something, Pichler!
- I...
- We feel that...
Something sensible.
You must know that well,
what long term consequences,
this kind of negative press has,
have.
Yes, how can we survive and protect 'em,
protect us?
How do we survive
this and protect them?
I say by building the citizens
of Neustadt a new zoo.
They will love those tall buildings -
Oh blah blah blah blah blah.
and beautiful
high rise condos.
- Shush!
- Shh, what he's trying to say...
- I want peace and quiet in this whole...
- Shh!
You know I must stay mayor,
got it?
I want to only hear
good news about the zoo
and great stuff about me.
And I hope you don't
have anything to do
with Benjamin's
disappearance or you're done!
Your contract with us will
be torn up and forgotten.
Pichler, come on.
You should bring Benjamin
back to smooth things out.
Are you insane?
At noon that's
ship will shove off
and then our big gray problem
will be gone for good.
You mean you're
gonna get rid of him?
Wait, by ship?
What did you dummies
think was the plan?
That he was just gonna chill out
in that container at the port?
No.
Benjamin is going
on a long voyage.
He's been bought by a
rich Chinese collector.
Maybe he'll like
it better there.
Oh.
Worthless,
you're amateurs and losers.
Excuse me!
Did you happen to serve food
to a tall,
skinny guy with a mustache?
And another shorter guy
with a cap and mustache?
Two guys like that?
They ate here this morning.
That's great, cool.
And did you notice an
elephant with them?
What you mean a big
fat one wearing a hat,
with huge ears and gray skin?
Yeah!
You've got a really
wild imagination!
Now go play somewhere else,
I'm working here.
- Otto, Karl, follow me.
- Karla!
Okay.
Said I should call you
if anyone gets too nosy.
Yeah, got it.
Yeah, I'll handle it.
Okay,
so now just where at the harbor
would you hide an
elephant around here?
Why sure,
in a shipping container!
- Yeah of course.
- Right!
There's so many.
Yeah, which one could it be?
Yeah, we'd better look around.
Sounds good.
- Mr. Blossom?
- Benjamin!
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Mr. Blossom?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
How am I ever gonna find him?
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
There's this red headed kid,
'bout this tall.
He must be somewhere.
- Yikes.
- Hey, did you hear that?
Let's go search
back there again.
You take the left,
I'll take the right.
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
Benjamin, wake up!
You alright?
Otto!
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just really tired.
Don't worry,
you'll both get a nice rest
on the long boat ride you got coming.
Bon voyage from Zora Zack!
This isn't good.
You can say that again.
This isn't good!
Thank you.
What's going on, an earthquake?
Well?
No trace of Benjamin, you?
No, not a trace.
So where's Otto?
Looking from back there,
I suppose.
Then let's wait right here for him,
hmm?
- Cool.
- Mm hmm.
Oh, hi there.
Are you hoping
he'll come home too?
Hopefully they'll find him
and bring back
Benjamin really soon.
Why are we doing all
this moving around?
No idea.
So what's that noise?
My guess is that they
must have put us on a ship.
I think you're
right about that.
So then where are we going?
We're going nowhere!
We gotta get to the
zoo and save it!
I'm with you on doing that.
We gotta save it.
But how?
There, Benjamin!
Can you push that out?
No problem!
There!
- Super, Benjamin!
I see Karla and Karl!
Karla, Karl!
Karl!
Darn, they can't hear me.
Let me try.
Teroo!
Even that didn't work.
They can't hear us.
What are we gonna do?
Hey, by any chance
do you happen to have a
sugar cube in your pocket?
Come on, Benjamin,
this is not time...
- Otto!
Do you trust me?
Sure.
I mean,
why of course I trust you.
You'll have to aim my
trunk and make the shot.
I can't see anything.
Benjamin, what an idea!
Now!
- Huh?
- What is it?
Something hard just hit me!
Hit you where?
On my neck, just now.
Hey, that's weird.
It's a sugar cube.
Benjamin!
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Hey there, we're up here!
There's Otto!
And a trunk!
- Hello!
- Benjamin, Benjamin, hey!
Hey, we're up here!
The ship's leaving now.
We need to stop it then!
There!
You must stop that
ship from leaving!
What, absolutely not.
There is a kidnapping
victim on board!
Wait,
someone's been kidnapped?
Trust me, I'm a reporter.
Ooh.
Stop your ship,
don't weigh anchor,
you have kidnapped
hostage on board.
- He's big!
- He is big.
- And he's fat!
- And he's fat.
He's got a trunk.
And he's got a, a what?
A big trunk!
Yeah?
Yeah!
In case you're
writing a story,
my name's Bruno Bowings,
spelled like it sounds.
They stopped us from leaving!
Phew.
- That was close.
- Too close.
- So Otto.
- Yes?
I have a big question.
Am I still your friend?
No.
You're my very best friend!
I'm sorry for what I said.
So am I.
That mean Miss Zack
is gonna be sorry.
I'm just hoping
we're not too late.
Me too.
And because we sadly, sadly don't know
Benjamin Blossom's whereabouts right now,
he made a choice not to be the
trademark face of this zoo.
So we move on.
This whole thing
stinks to high heaven.
Benjamin would never
leave our zoo in need.
Benjamin
belongs here at the zoo.
- Yes, that's true.
- Bring Benjamin back!
I guarantee this,
even without Benjamin,
the new zoo here in Neustadt,
will enrich and make proud,
all the citizens of Neustadt.
And now comes a great moment
in the future of
this zoo and city.
Mr. Mayor,
I now request you sign the contract.
Miss Zack.
Please, after you.
Just sign right there.
Go ahead.
No!
Will you sign it already?
Don't sign it, don't!
Miss Zack drugged
and kidnapped Benjamin!
What nonsense!
It's not nonsense.
She put me the sleep
with tainted sugar cubes!
She's been exploiting
poor Benjamin
and his weakness for sugar.
- Yeah!
- Don't put our zoo's future
in her evil hands.
She'll stop at nothing.
She has no proof of this.
No proof at all!
None, no, nothing at all!
Do you have any real
evidence for these allegations?
- Not really.
- You see?
So which part do I need to push,
Mrs. Meier?
Mr.
White, they can hear you.
Oh ho, that voice,
it's Walter!
My, you look extra lovely,
Mrs. Meier.
Walter, they can all hear you.
Is that so?
Ah, oh well.
Let's just press this.
The following
recordings I taped,
prove the evil doings of the criminal,
Miss Zack.
Her little game is over.
Right.
That's supposed to be evidence, huh?
That's ridiculous.
- Yes, ridiculous.
Switch off that old
fool and let's finish up.
Yeah.
Oh, right, here it is.
You should
bring Benjamin back
to smooth things out.
Hey that's me!
For heavens sake,
at noon that ship will shove off
and then our big,
gray problem will be gone for good.
Ship, what ship?
- You mean get rid of him?
- It doesn't mean a thing.
What did you dummies
think was the plan?
That he was just gonna chill out
in that container at the port?
No,
Benjamin is going on a long voyage.
That's not me.
He's been bought by a rich,
Chinese collector.
Maybe he'll like
it better there.
I have something to say.
Ladies and gentleman,
I have had nothing to do with this.
Hey idiots,
start the wrecking ball!
- No.
- Not today.
Chop, chop,
or you'll both be fired!
You can forget it.
We quit!
Honestly,
then I'll do it myself.
- Wait!
- No!
Oh no,
she's unleashing the wrecking ball!
I will laugh last!
Benjamin!
Oh no!
Ha, got him.
Oh dear me!
The ball!
Watch out!
Here it comes again!
Watch it!
Mr. Tierlieb!
Oh boy!
That's enough.
Stop that ball, go!
You okay?
Yeah.
Now that's how you stop a wrecking ball,
see?
So much for Neustadt,
ha, a town of losers!
You can do what you
want with your zoo.
I'm checking out!
Alfred!
You meddling, stupid monkey!
Oh!
That's not the
smell of success!
That goes to the gorillas.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay,
take this load to the rhino enclosure
for their new roof, thanks.
Oh, thanks, Schnippy.
My yellow paint just ran out.
Thank you so much.
And in about an hour,
I'll need some white paint, alright?
So,
have I ever told you about the time
I paddled through the
sewers of Moscow in a canoe?
It was there that I met
up with this crocodile
that was as long as a train,
as tall as a ladder
and as wide as a bus.
There we go, that's it.
Looks great.
I'd say all those drops in
the ocean really add up.
When everyone pitches in,
things happen.
So Mayor,
have you learned from your mistakes
and could you explain
why all Neustadt citizens
now have a say in the
design of the zoo?
This zoo's importance
is huge to me.
And thanks to my intelligence,
generous support and leadership,
we have not only
been able to redo,
to completely fix the
zookeeper's house,
so that it's truly fine,
all the enclosures
and the playgrounds
were also refurbished thanks to my,
Pichler?
Yes,
it's amazingly gratifying what you've done
and you do belong in the zoo.
Indeed.
So the citizens of
Neustadt can now rest assured
that's you will always
represent their interests
over big business in the future?
- Represent is way too weak a word.
- Does he ever stop talking?
- I'll do my best and more.
- Alfred!
Now you have your home back
and your old swing.
Wowee, look at that!
Hey dudes, check us out!
You like our red,
ice, ice, baby style?
Awesome, right?
- Sure!
What do you think about
our new Softee 3000, huh?
Wait, this was a feeding robot
designed by Miss Zack!
- Wowee, whoa!
We made some
sweet improvements.
Yeah, a rad modification.
Insane upgrade.
2.0.
Ah!
There's just one
thing left to do.
And you're the only one who can do it,
Benjamin!
Teroo!

Now take care, sweetie
and call me right away
if anything goes wrong.
Okay, Mom.
Honey,
Otto's not a little boy anymore.
Otto, if there's a real emergency,
you know,
and something really bad happens call 911,
okay?
What do you mean,
"really bad?"
I don't know,
a fire or lightening, an earthquake,
a bad hair day,
that kinda stuff.
- What?
- Yeah.
Oh, Mom, come on.
I'm spending my summer vacation
here at the zoo with Benjamin.
Nothing bad'll happen.
Ah, you're right.
Have fun at the beach!
Morning, Mrs. Meier!
- Hello, Otto.
Good morning!
Hey,
you two, morning!
Hey, Leo!
Patty, Polly, hey there!
Morning, Gunther!
Hi, Schnippy!
One, two, can you hear me?
Sorry about the feedback.
Okay, hello there,
I'm Karla Kolumna
and I welcome you all
on this beautiful day
to the Neustadt Zoo.
And now, here's our zoo director,
Mr. Tierlieb.
Woo!
A warm welcome to all of you.
Thank you for joining us for
our charity extravaganza.
In a moment,
you'll hear our own band,
Karl and the Zoomaniacs!
Now, you may ask,
"How can I support this great zoo?"
By buying raffle tickets, hmm?
- Morning!
- Good morning!
- Hello!
- Hi, Karl!
- Hey, Otto.
- So where's Benjamin?
I don't know,
he should be here by now.
I'll check his house,
maybe he's there.
Super.
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Ha, oh boy.
Benjamin, wake up!
Ha!
Good morning, Otto!
Morning.
I felt like I was
smelling sugar just now.
What sugar?
No, you must have been dreaming.
Okay,
I'll sleep a little longer then.
No,
you need to get up right away!
Everyone's expecting you,
they're waiting.
What,
it's only 6 a.m.
It's too early for them
to be expecting me!
No, it's a quarter past nine!
Really, oh guess you're right.
It's a little past nine.
Only a quarter past nine.
Oh, it's already past nine!
That's not good!
So I'm really late.
Oh no,
everyone must be waiting for me.
What should I wear?
Oh dear, past nine.
Oh my,
I'm supposed to help with the charity event!
- Benjamin?
- What is it?
You're going to
wear your PJ's?
My pajamas?
Whoopsie!
I gotta hurry!
Good luck to you!
They should be here by now.
We can't wait much longer!
Right, I know what you mean.
Karl, start playing, go ahead!
Let's go.
We are the Zoomaniacs,
so let's start off with a classic.
♪ In a beautiful green meadow
♪ There's a big gray mountain
♪ Stretches his
legs up to the sky ♪
♪ Next to him there is a dwarf
♪ No, the dwarf is Otto
♪ And the mountain an elephant
♪ He is friendly and can speak

Benjamin, Benjamin?
Yes?
Now they're calling my name!
One, two, one,
two, three, four!
Benjamin!
Whoa, ah!
Sorry, coming through!
Watch out, runaway skateboard!
Benjamin?
Sorry,
I kind of got off on the wrong foot.
Yeah.
Everyone please excuse this.
Well,
I really don't know what just happened there.
That was...
- That was quite a moment!
Unexpected things
happen here at our zoo.
Sorry about that, really.
So please,
buy some raffle tickets
and help us keep the
Neustadt Zoo going.
- Oh, my ice cream.
- Sorry!
Wait, here.
- Huh?
All for me?
- Mm hmm.
- Benjamin!
- Otto!
What happened?
When I got here,
I scared this little girl
and she dropped
her ice cream cone
but I was able to calm her down.
What little girl?
The one that I
gave the balloons.
Yoo hoo, Mama!
Look at me, I can fly!
Mia,
you come back here right now!
There she goes,
what can we do?
The playground!
Mia!
We're coming!
Ai, yi, yi, oh boy, where?
There she is in those trees!
Please don't let go!
Could I please borrow that?
Thank you!
What are you doing,
Otto?
Benjamin,
I need you to help me!
Oh, you think that'll work?
Yes,
we have to hurry or I'll miss her!
Okay!
- Ah.
- A ha!
Yeah!
Otto,
be careful and hold on tight!
Oh boy, oh boy!
Great idea, Otto!
That's it, keep it up!
It worked!
You did it, how great!
Yeah, but how am I gonna get.
Whoa!
Phew.
That really was,
Incredibly cool!
Thank you.
Glad to help.
That was fun,
Mama, can I do it again?
This is going to be
the best summer ever!
We're going to share
good times and have fun!
Sure, for instance,
eating ice cream.
- And camping.
- Chocolate ice cream.
- And canoeing!
- And vanilla!
We can build a camp fire.
And of course strawberry too.
I love it.
Yeah!
Benjamin,
you really are my best friend.
- Well you're not.
- Huh?
You are my very best friend!
Hey, look.
Oh there's not
even enough here
to pay for all the
broken benches.
He looks worried.
If this keeps up, then...
Then what?
Huh, it's nothing,
no worries.
Uh oh,
when Mr. Tierlieb says it's nothing,
that's not a good thing, no.
Think the zoo will
have to shut down soon?
What?
No, we can't let that happen.
We must do something
to help him.
You're right.
- There, done.
- Perfect.
- Whoa!
- I guess,
we need extra tough
nails for when I sit.
What do I see?
A Loxodonta africanus
and a Homo sapien.
A loxdo what?
A Loxondonta africanus.
Yes,
I mean an elephant and a person.
But you two are friends.
- Ooh.
That's rather strange.
Really?
I don't see what's so
strange about that.
It would be much
stranger if we weren't.
I mean,
we've always been really good friends.
How silly of me.
My name is White, Walter White.
I'm Benjamin and this is Otto.
What are you doing here?
Oh, observing.
Ob whatting?
For example,
the Gracula religiosa
or the Psittaciformes macaw.
Ca cow?
- No, Macaw!
- Huh?
- He must mean parrot!
- Exactly!
Here, listen to this.
Ah, mm hmm.
Gotcha,
so then what are you serving?
Observing,
it's like secretly spying on someone.
You're spying?
You mean like a secret agent?
Correct,
in fact I used to be one.
You were a secret agent?
Really?
- Oh, that was ages ago.
I was,
I have a few tales I can tell you.
But nobody wants to hear
those stories these days.
Being a spy must be tough.
Well,
anyway my mission is calling.
So then,
my pleasure meeting you both, yeah.
Bye now.
Bye, bye, Walter.
- You believe it?
- What?
That he was once a spy?
Why not?
Some people were bus drivers
or bakers or teachers.
So it's possible that
Walter was once a...
A secret agent, yeah, yeah.
- Mm hmm.
- From what I'm seeing,
well it's really so very, very
- Who's that?
- How can I say it?
- What?
It's so green!
All these cute
animals everywhere.
Not true.
In fact these animals are...
Pichler!
I hope I didn't
exaggerate too much?
Not at all.
This zoo has a lot of potential.
Yes, I think so.
Potential?
That's a word from math class.
I forget what it means.
Do you know that lady?
No.
Ah, Mr. Tierlieb.
Ah, Mr. Mayor.
Good news,
I've given an assignment to Mrs. Zack here.
She'll be modernizing this part.
I see.
That is big news.
So when?
We will begin organizing
our plan of action this evening,
alright?
This evening?
That's right, tonight.
But shouldn't we
take this slowly?
I mean...
- This should please you!
This place hasn't made
a profit in years.
This is in the best interests
of the tax payers and the zoo.
You know as mayor,
I face questions concerning the fact
that this place costs
us citizens money,
so that has to change, yeah?
Of course I
understand that but...
What the heck is this?
What is that hole in the wall for?
- Well.
- Well?
It's a free entrance for kids.
- Oh.
- Ah!
All children should
pay to get in.
The sorry state of this place
is why I've been hired here.
Cheaper.
What's needed here's
a complete makeover!
- Oh.
- Hmm.
There's so much open space,
wow.
The animals here seem
lovely yet so do cat videos.
But where's the video surveillance,
the live chat,
the interactive possibilities?
We must look to the future,
Mr. Tierlieb
and there is something
missing here.
Bars and cages.
Oh,
those things aren't necessary here.
You're a
man with a sweet heart.
But I'd say you're naive.
Security here is a must.
But our animals here
are tame and peaceful.
I'm concerned about your animals'
welfare.
I mean you certainly don't...
Well I sure feel safe here,
even without bars and cages.
Since I've lived here,
I've never felt afraid of anyone.
The animals are doing
great just the way they are.
They don't need cages.
Benjamin Blossom!
I've heard great
things about you.
You have?
Mm hmm and everything
I've heard was good!
You're big, you can speak,
you're just terrific.
So may I ask you,
are you an animal
or are you a manimal?
- A what?
- A mixture of man and animal.
And who are you, kid?
This is my best friend, Otto.
He helps around here.
We just finished repairing
that bench over there.
Oh, how cute.
You're both cute little
drops in the ocean.
And I suppose you think you
two drips can save the zoo?
How awful!
- We have to do something.
- He just wants that banana!
Calm down.
You filthy ape!
I'm very sorry Miss Zack.
You are completely right.
Things at the zoo must change.
Wowee,
she's supposed to fix the zoo?
Well they said we have to
keep up with the times here.
Oh boy.
It may not work well but
at least it still works, huh?
- Okay.
- So, let's test this.
It's sturdy as an elephant.
Mm hmm.
What did that
Miss Zack lady mean
when she called us
drops in the ocean?
'Cause our zoo needs lots of money
'cause it's so broken down
and we don't have
enough funds to fix it.
A silly bag's money
can't fix up this place
like you and I can.
I know,
so we just gotta keep working.
But first let's
have a bit of sugar.
Something sweet always
helps me to work better.
Yeah, sure.
Ah, afternoon Miss Meier.
Nice to see you Mr. White.
Yes, I...
What's going on?
Oh.
Hmm.
Miss Zack, what is this?
My mobile center for my
action plan for the zoo.
Isn't it just wonderful?
Oh,
here are my two helper coworkers,
Hans and Franz.
Cool think tank, right?
We all need clean space to think,
mister.
Creative visualization,
brain waves.
Yes,
so here is a list with my suggestions
for the improvements
we need to...
Changes.
Believe me,
I know exactly what changes
are good and necessary.
The more we can
modernize the zoo,
the better for
everyone involved.
I know you agree.
I'm sure that's what
the children want.
So we will make them happy
with a new playground
that we'll call the
entertainment place.
Entertainment, oh.
So that project's
very promising.
Yes,
that really sounds very promising for us.
- Mega.
- And chill.
Mega chill.
Ooh whoop!
Whoa,
that thing's quite a set up, huh?
Oh yeah,
it's a folding out new thingamajig.
And we're getting
a new playground
so that'll be nice.
Hmm,
I've got a bad feeling about those folks.
I'm feeling great about this.
They have no idea.
They're naive.
- They're so lame.
- Yeah, lame losers.
That's why we're here.
We're going to dust
off this run down zoo,
shake it up and jolt
it into the future.
The zoo of tomorrow.
Effective, modern,
profit oriented.
Small is the new big.
Anything else would
be wasting resources.
Sharing space is important.
And sharing
resources is vital.
People share cars,
living space and employment.
So these stupid animals
can share enclosures too.
Yo, enclosure sharing.
So the animals get ignored,
cool.
And then very soon
the zoo get a slick
merchandising shop built
and Keeper Karl's house will,
ah, bye bye,
be torn down to save more space.
So he'll be forced to share
a flat with old Tierlieb.
And here comes the beautiful,
expensive, luxury apartments.
Right here, all with a view of the zoo lake.
Wow, zoo shizzle dizzle.
Zooer stylish.
But shush, these dunderheads
aren't completely convinced yet.
As long as they don't
know what we're doing,
it's all the better for us.
That's how we win, hmm?
Selfie!
Oh yes, and before I forget,
there's this big,
fat, talking elephant,
that for us could be useful.
- It works.
- Great!
- Hello there, Otto!
- Mm hmm.
As you can see,
we're doing really well here.
But your dad's afraid
he'll never work again,
'cause he decided all he
ever wants to do is lie down.
I'm never getting up again.
We miss you little guy!
Hello!
Oh, too bad you're not here
soaking up the sun with us.
But we're sure you're having fun too,
huh?
Son,
we're really looking forward to hugging you
and seeing you soon.
And say hello to
Benjamin for us.
- Bye!
- Toodaloo!
They sure do miss you a lot,
Otto.
Mm, but I still can't imagine
having more fun than being here.
The zoo's a fun place to be.
And I find it elephantastic
that you're here too.
Hmm.
What's bothering you, Otto?
It's that Miss Zack.
Come on,
she's gotta lotta cool stuff planned.
I think she's
actually quite nice.
Hmm, I guess you're right.
Wowee, hey tomorrow maybe
we should try out the boat!
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
Quit your snoring, will you?
But I'm not snoring!
Otto, look at this.
Just what is that?
I don't know.
Let's go check it out.
See,
it's the early bird that gets things done.
I'm thinking you two
like to sleep in a little late,
don't you?
Sure.
So what are you
planning to tear down?
Well,
this place here is pretty old.
- Yeah but...
- And this is the beginning
of creating something
really nice.
With merchandising and a lot
of room for other things.
So will all this
be helping me too?
Well aren't you
part of our future?
I've heard you've been
unhappy for a while
with this rickety feeder wagon
and you complain about always
having to work so hard.
Well, I don't mean to.
We'll brainstorm a
solution to those problems.
Your issues are at the top
of my agenda.
- Oh.
Project
ideas sound super.
And you,
I know you'll wanna pitch in
to help your animal
keeper friend,
'cause he needs to move in.
- Mm hmm.
Mr Tierlieb has lots
of room where he lives
to share his place.
- Yes.
- With Karl.
- Uh.
- What, excuse me?
- Sure.
- Us?
Now if you'll
excuse both of us,
I need to have a chat
with my elephant friend.
- Oh?
- Mm hmm.
About what?
About sugar
treats for example.
Why, sure!
Hello!
You know Benjamin,
I get this feeling,
I don't think you're being
challenged enough here.
I'm not?
And you really have
so much potential.
If you get what I mean?
But I'm not that
good with math.
Hmm and a sense of humor.
Oh yeah,
you have just what it takes
to be the new face of
of the Neustadt Zoo.
CI, corporate identity.
You are the zoo.
- Who, me?
Your face on their
ticket to get in.
We will sell action figures of you,
Benjamin.
Hover boards.
Ears and trunks made of foam,
the works!
Everyone will
come here for you.
And the more zoo visitors there are,
the more money.
And who do you
think that benefits?
It benefits who?
- It helps all of the animals.
- Ah!
- That's right.
- Mm!
Oh ho ho ho ho, so I am the zoo!
That's true, you're it!
With your face and help,
we will save this zoo,
you understand?
Yeah?
But of course,
we'll have to give you
a little bit of a,
kind of, makeover.
I mean the image of the
little friendly elephant
is a bit old fashioned.
It's outdated.
- It is?
And the trumpeting.
- Should I?
- No!
- Baruh!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- No?
- Not that.
- Not cool, dude.
- Just not fancy enough.
Really?
I'm not sure this works.
I think I'm a little too...
Too fat for skinny jeans?
- Mm.
- No way, Benjamin, no!
You are sturdy!
Just the way that an
elephant's supposed to be.
These pants, let's stretch 'em.
Then these work, like so.
- Mm.
- Mm?
Mm hmm.
- Mm mm!
- Mm mm?
Ow!
Sorry for that.
I'd say baggy jeans might fit you better,
hmm?
That's it,
to the left, keep going, good.
Where shall we put it?
Maybe there?
- Sure.
- Or maybe over there.
Where's Benjamin?
We could use his help right now.
Yeah,
I mean how is all my stuff gonna fit in here?
Well...
And nothing against your taste,
Boss,
but I wouldn't exactly
call this modern.
Yeah,
well when I was as young as she is,
everything you see here was
considered quite modern.
I know,
but well that was a long time ago.
Huh?
Sir,
it's just for a little while.
These pants
definitely fit better,
but...
- Perfect!
I don't know.
No, no, no, no,
this fits you a lot better.
I'd say this style is
targeting your market audience.
But I barely
recognize myself though.
Exactly, Benjamin!
You look wonderful now!
In two days we'll have
our first press conference
to introduce you,
that's when you'll be announced
as our new face.
With this new look?
Mega face.
Hey, Alfred!
How'd he get in here?
How cool!
Oh yeah, cool monkey,
say cheese!
Hey, bad monkey, my camera!
Alfred wants to be
a photographer too!
Get him out of here!
- I got ya.
- Hey!
- I don't get it!
- Now come on!
One of us comes from the right,
the other one from the left,
right?
From the left?
- Easy enough?
- Okay, got it.
Alfred, come back!
I wanna see those pictures!
You two, was that the same camera
you took photos with yesterday?
Photos of our new zoo model?
Photos, yeah it's possible I guess.
You worthless idiots!
What are you waiting for?
Go after him, chop, chop!
Okay.
Hey, Benjamin.
Oh wow.
What an outfit.
- It's the new CIA, uh CGI.
- Wow.
I mean corpulent identities.
Whatever that means.
Yeah, that's it.
How does this
dart gun work anyway?
You, dimwit,
it's a tranquilizer gun.
Just aim it and
pull the trigger.
Hey, what are they up to?
They're probably
looking for Alfred.
With a tranquilizer dart gun?
I guess so.
- Let's go try to find out.
- Yes, go!
- Yeah!
- Sure.
- Okay.
- That's what we'll do.
Alfred!
That sounds just awful!
A tranquilizer gun
has never been used
while I have been at this zoo.
I agree completely because
I am a great pacifist.
At the tone,
the time is 11:23 a.m.
I can't reach her,
but this means war.
You can count on me, you'll see.
I could count on
you in the future,
if you would check first with me
and we discuss things.
We will discuss things first,
Mr. Tierlieb
Thank you.
Alfred, Alfred!
Alfred, there you are, buddy.
Come to me.
Wait!
Yo, you,
aren't you a friend of that talking elephant?
Huh?
By any chance did you
see Alfred near here?
No way,
I'm just talking a walk.
Ah, young kids don't ever go for walks,
do they?
Yeah,
actually kids would rather play video games.
Shh, did you hear that?
I'm sure it's just a...
- Alfred!
- Oh yeah!
Hey, hold on!
Wait, you can't do that!
Alfred!
Come on, Alfred!
No, don't!
That sounds like Otto!
He's harmless, stop!
Looks like they're
gonna shoot Alfred!
I won't let them!
- Hey!
- Quit it, stop!
- No, stop it!
- Come on, Hans, do it!
I'm on it, move!
Don't shoot Alfred!
Teroo!
Oops.
Enough!
Oh man, I think he's sleeping.
Oh, Franz.
I'll get help.
- Someone brings me calm.
- Sorry, Zora.
Amateur!
It's important that you
catch that darn monkey!
That camera's pictures can't
fall into the wrong hands!
Out of the way, old man!
Who's an old man?
Idiot!
Relax, schnippy,
you're alright.
Hey, hello.
Cool party, huh?
You live near here?
Hey,
why are you two upside down?
Clean this up.
Shot in the behind?
Sensational,
sounds like a great headline.
What about the other stuff?
They tore down our house
and dressed him in clothes
that aren't his style.
It's just a different look.
Exactly, after all, Otto,
you're always wearing
yellow and blue.
Yellow and blue.
But my new clothes are fancy!
- Huh?
- Miss Zack told me this,
looking hip and cool will
attract a lot more zoo customers.
And more visitors
mean more money.
- She said that?
- Mm hmm.
And her guys were
hunting for Alfred
with a dart stun gun.
Miss Zack was very
sorry about that.
- That woman...
- Walter!
Doesn't seem like
she's actually sorry
about anything she's doing.
I have a bad feeling
about that lady.
Better to keep a
watchful eye on her
than wind up with a black eye.
It's pure espionage.
Information is the key to
judging her and her motives.
Oh that sounds heavy handed.
But you may be right
about investigating.
I'll see what I can find out.
Neustadt is now more
modern and livable.
My dear friends,
friends of Neustadt,
the election for our town's
mayor is approaching fast
and I can only say,
don't believe anyone except me, you see.
Only me, I mean,
I mean you should...
My dear.
Oh, that's just what I need.
Pichler, Pichler!
Pichler!
Yes.
I need absolute quiet.
Good!
Don't let her in here, got it?
Who?
That girl,
the snoopy journalist.
She's coming,
just tell her I'm away.
Hello, there,
let the mayor know I'm here.
Oh, Mr. Mayor.
No time.
Pichler, come on.
Today, a crane arrived at
the zoo to demolish a building.
Your thoughts on modernization
through demolition?
What do I think of it?
- I asked you.
- And what do you think?
I think things
are happening there
that haven't been approved
by the zoo occupants
or Mr. Tierlieb.
That's what you think?
Yes and why do
you think Alfred Ape
is being hunted with a dart gun?
- What do you think I think?
- I think you think
you can weasel your way out of this.
If that's what you
wanna think I think,
well I've gotta go.
Ah, Mr. Mayor, don't get lost
running away from
my zoo questions.
Sure,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Pichler, come on!
- Tell me, Otto?
- Hmm?
Does it bother you that
Miss Zack is so nice to me
but she's not so nice to you?
What?
That's nonsense.
I know you care and
want to make the zoo
a better place too.
Yeah but not in the
weird way she does.
You're not suspicious of her?
Sure I am.
Sometimes once you really
get to know people,
they aren't like what
you think they are.
Yeah,
but she's what I think she is.
But even wearing those
weird clothes you have on,
I still like you
just the way you are.
I like you just
the way you are too.
You're my best buddy, Otto.
Hmm.
You know what I
think we should do now?
What's that?
♪ Have you ever thought about
♪ About what we all are
♪ What holds us
together is friendship ♪
♪ Because we are
so different we ♪
♪ Are together and
we all know that ♪
♪ The reason for
that is friendship ♪
♪ I am a human and
you're an elephant ♪
♪ But we stick together
♪ When you call me
♪ Call for me, I'll be there
♪ And if you're
afraid to go on ♪
♪ And if things are
not clear to you ♪
♪ Then one, two, three
♪ I'll come over to see you
♪ I'll always listen to you
♪ Just me and you
Get your paper!
Shot in the behind,
shot in the behind!
Read it all here,
all the amazing new zoo happenings!
Shot in the behind!
- Hey there, I'll take one of those please.
- Read all about it!
Shot in the behind!
Either the mayor
is playing dumb
or he really is that stupid,
but with him, who knows.
But then I did learn something
about Miss Zack
that's interesting.
You did?
She changed over the
Neustadt Candy Factory
into a pear factory.
- She did?
- Yeah.
You mean that factory
that makes those
biter cough tablets?
- Yup.
- Huh?
Yeah Benjamin,
they taste even worse
than dill pickles
with cinnamon dew.
- Ugh!
- It's a liver flavored
watermelon that's
in a cough drop.
- Ugh, yuck!
- Hmm mm.
Hey,
what are you doing with that?
That's our favorite hammock!
Hey, is that Alfred?
Oh ho ho, there he is.
And Alfred still has that
camera that's Miss Zack's.
That must be why those
nuts were hunting him
with a dart stun gun!
You're right and they're
still looking for him.
Know what I think?
It's not just about
getting back that camera.
That's what I'm thinking.
Alfred,
could you please come down?
Yeah, come!
He's sure having fun
hanging on to that camera.
But I know something
Alfred likes even better.
What is it?
Oh yeah.
Alfred,
trade you this for that camera?
Thank you, Alfred.
I don't believe this!
There's Miss Zack.
And is that our zoo?
It can't be,
what are those giant houses doing
on the zoo's lake?
Good question.
Those houses look huge.
How weird.
Sensational,
what will Miss Zack have to say about this?
- Hello.
- Oh my!
What the heck is this then?
Who would
do such a thing?
Unbelievable.
Don't worry, little girl,
we'll see you get out.
Please move back a bit.
Thank you, Benjamin!
Oh, you're welcome.
Have a good time at the zoo.
Thanks!
Many zoo residents
are having to resist
in somewhat
confrontational ways.
Changing zoo animals' attitudes.
Now one for the camera please.
And very nice.
When will this stop?
Actually these kinds of
cages are for sick animals.
For isolating them.
- Yeah.
And they're not designed to
hold animals for a long time.
Oh,
this is just a temporary measure
until the new
enclosures are ready.
We wouldn't want our bulldozers
flattening our furry friends.
Before you do anything,
you need to check with me first!
She won't because she has
really different plans than you.
Benjamin, my dearest friend.
What's going on with you?
You didn't respect my trumpeting ban,
did you?
No more trumpeting?
Well, I did it.
Here, here's the evidence!
- Oh, my camera!
- Hey!
Oh, oh my,
why it's completely out of date!
May I see those pictures?
Deleted!
It was just some stupid old ideas,
not important.
So you want to improve
the zoo by building more
and pushing the residents out,
that's your plan?
No, the only thing I wanna do
is improve conditions
for everyone.
My own state of the
art robotic creation.
A feeding machine
with it's fuzzy logic,
it nutritionally calculates
the exact amount of food
an animal needs, so,
there's no more waste.
Scanning primate,
Barbary ape,
weight nine kilograms.
Calculating food amount.
Dispatching.
Super,
the ideal feed calculator.
Superior cutting
edge technology,
that's what we call progress.
Scanning primate,
Homo sapiens,
calculating, calculating.
- No, no, no, no, stop!
Dispensing.
- Dispensing.
- Stop, stop!
How do...
- Dispensing.
- Hans, Franz!
- Uh oh!
- Quit it!
- Dispensing.
Stop, off!
We're still in the test phase.
You, stop!
Trust me, this feeding robot
is part of my grandiose
and special plan.
And what
plan is that please?
Saving the Neustadt Zoo.
Come on!
Can't you see she's
misleading us here?
Somehow we've got to prove
exactly what she's doing.
Not easy.
Hmm, there's only one person
that can help us with this.
Are you sure this is
where Walter White lives?
That's what Mrs. Meier said.
Besides, look at this place.
I mean you can see it's like
a real secret agent's mansion.
Well I'm not convinced.
Uh oh!
Oh.
Password?
Hello Walter,
we just wanted to ask if we...
Password!
So what's the password?
- And how should I know?
- Password please!
I've got no clue!
Then just guess.
Sugar treat?
Huh?
Oh!
- Ah!
Huh?
So,
the elephant and his human friend.
Welcome to my headquarters.
Hello Walter.
So the password was
really sugar treats?
Well to be perfectly honest,
I forgot the password for
that door a long time ago.
- What?
- Yeah.
Would you like a nice
cup of hot cocoa?
Why sure!
With plenty of extra
sugar in it please.
Well, maybe later.
We're here because we
could really use a couple
of your secret,
secret agent tips.
Well, yeah,
I'm done with that spy stuff now.
Oh but, oh well, why not.
Follow me.
Now to open this extremely
high security lock,
you need a twelve figure
combination of numbers.
And also two fingerprints
and an iris scan.
Or you just press on the
super secret button I have.
A ha!
Ha ha, cool!
Huh?
Whoa!
Huh?
Oh, this room looks just
like the one I came in from!
Benjamin,
are you coming?
Huh?
Oh, wow look at this!
Oh!
I can't believe it.
These photos of you.
So you're were what you said,
a...
A secret agent!
Crazy!
Wow,
a remote controlled submarine!
With a camera
and dolphin sonar.
It can reach the deepest depth of the ocean.
- You mean seven miles deep?
- Mm hmm.
Huh, what's with this watch?
Oh, it has many features.
There's a hidden camera in it,
radar,
a shortwave radio and it can
also tell you what time it is.
A watch that tells time?
So is there a hidden
microphone in these flowers?
No, no, actually that is well,
more of a private project.
With all this stuff
you've got here,
I bet we could sneak right
into Miss Zack's office!
What?
Sneak into Miss Zack's?
Oh, Otto,
you want to break in there?
What?
Not break in, no!
We don't want to steal anything.
We just wanna look around.
So we can see if the
zoo model in that photo
really was only an old idea.
No, Benjamin, she lied to you.
She lies all the time.
You can't believe a woman
who ordered you to
stop trumpeting.
That's part of who you are.
That's true.
Let's see if there's
something we can use in here.
- Ooh!
- Whoa!
Help yourselves.
Ha ha, yeah!
Oh dear.
Even saving everything we can,
we'll be broke soon without
help from outside sources.
I don't feel like it's
my place to give advice
but if the budget books look
anything like this then...
Huh.
That was weird.
What is this?
Toothbrush water.
Oh, interesting.
We need to sneak into her lab
without being seen by those cameras.
- Copy that.
- Copy what?
Just do what I do!
Otto, all clear, come on over!
Wow,
I guess that's another way to do it.
Okay,
now we just need to get in there.
Mm, I smell sugar cubes.
Focus, Benjamin, concentrate.
But Otto,
I mean I smell sugar cubes that are inside.
If I can smell them from here,
that means...
There's an open window!
Great, Benjamin!
Where exactly?
Up there.
A skylight, of course!
But how are we
gonna get up there?
No problem.
Oh!
Oi, oi, oi.
That's really high.
You wanna find out
what's going on or not?
Huh, oh.
Here we go.
I don't know.
Benjamin, get up here!
I'll be right there.
It should probably only
take about five hours.
Oh, Otto, watch it!
Maybe you should
use two ropes.
Oh come on, I'm not that fat.
Oh.
So much for keeping our zoo.
Ooh!
I guess I'm heavier than
I thought after all.
So far, so good.
Right.
Miss Zack,
this was just a silly prank
by a curious young boy
and a friendly elephant.
Always sticking together, hmm?
I'm not sure I can support
your zoo any longer.
So you're threatening me?
But he didn't have
anything to do with this!
Benjamin and me thought of it.
Oh really?
I think it's much more likely
that you, dear Benjamin,
had Otto persuade you to join him
in breaking in here.
Well, I...
I get the distinct
feeling your little friend
doesn't know what's
right or good for you.
And as for our beautiful
new zoo and great plans,
Otto knows much less
about them than you do.
Oh yeah?
We'll see.
I saw the model of your
beautiful new zoo here.
Really?
And just what model is that?
Benjamin you saw it too,
right?
Everything went so fast.
It was dark and I was coming
down and then the rope broke!
You should have used two ropes
like I was telling you to.
Oh man,
I always do everything wrong.
So he meant that you're fat?
- What?
- No, I'd never say that to you.
What did you mean then?
Let's calm down, okay?
Friends just don't
say things like that.
They don't, never, mm mm.
Wait a sec, tell me Benjamin,
are we still friends or what?
I didn't say
anything like that!
So you'd rather be her
friends instead of mine?
Now you're saying that
kind of stuff again.
Oh man,
everything was so peaceful before.
But now it's all
fighting and strife.
Oh sure, and that's my fault,
you think?
No, I didn't,
it's nobody's fault.
I really was too naive.
I thought all this time,
having a real elephant like you
as my best friend,
could work out.
What?
Otto!
Oh boy, oh boy.
What have I gone and done now.
Neither of them have
said a single word.
Benjamin, hi there!
- Benj...
- Benjamin, Benjamin!
Mm hmm!
That fat,
good for nothing elephant.
He still won't talk.
We've tried peanuts
and everything.
I know what will work.
I've got some news about Otto!
Big news to share!
Oh, my dear one.
Come, sit down.
So what's going on with Otto?
Oh, it's bad.
Otto,
I don't think he's coming back here.
So that was your big news?
No, now let us begin.
Once again,
starting right where we left off before.
Tomorrow is our
press conference.
So let's see if we can visualize
a new trademark image for that.
Wait,
that wasn't any news from Otto,
you were just lying to me!
Lying to you?
Benjamin, I'd never do such a...
Otto said you lied to me
and I didn't believe him!
But I'm not helping you anymore!
Whoa, remain calm.
I'm not gonna do anything!
That elephant's the bomb!
And from here on,
I'll trumpet when I want!
Teroo, teroo!
- Shush, enough!
- Teroo!
- Alright, you win!
- Teroo!
I understand.
And you should.
Let's make peace, mm hmm?
Please sit.
- Hmm.
Sweets for the sweet?
Mm hmm.
Hmm.
I'll get Otto to come back
and in the future,
every step I discuss with you right here.
Agreed?
- Mm hmm, hmm.
And for doing that,
we'll be good friends again, hmm?
I know humans and elephants
can't be real friends!
I see, no friendship then?
I need to have a moment to myself,
alone.
And meanwhile, you can quietly
think over my suggestion.
Hmm.
Hello,
what are you working on?
Well this is.
So much for this one.
And yes, this one.
Wait a minute, so tell me.
Did the Zack lady get a
new workplace for herself?
I'm not exactly sure.
Oh,
wait I have something for you to see.
Take a look,
this here is not a normal walking cane.
Uh huh.
See this little
opening right here?
Mm hmm.
Watch closely, get ready.
Then!
Wow.
So what's happened
that has you so down?
I guess it's a
friendship thing.
Ah, Benjamin?
Huh, he's an elephant.
- Of course!
- And he'll only be your friend
if you give him
treats like sugar.
Ah,
not trusting that you have a true friend
isn't a good thing either.
When I was younger and working,
I was always out
there on the road,
traveling all over the world,
meeting all kinds of people.
Ladies, nice people, yes.
But I never had a really good
friend in all those years.
Then you don't know what I mean,
hmm.
Yes of course, but I do know
that sometimes people break
up with their friends,
whether that friend
is an elephant or not.
It happens, doesn't it?
Sure!
That stubborn elephant!
He's fighting it!
I know I shouldn't be talking,
but why are we whispering?
You say you won't talk
but you just keep talking!
What?
Silence!
No more talking!
Sorry,
I didn't wanna talk but the silence was...
Uh, mm mm!
Only seconds
away from nap time.
- Mm.
- One, two, goodnight!
You think that really worked?
Of course.
He could be awake and
just playing possum.
Can a talking elephant do
something that clever?
Idiots, go, chop, chop!
Get rid of the elephant!
I have to prepare for the press conference,
bye bye.
Oh shizzle,
the elephant's too heavy.
Go on, push!
- What?
Why me?
'Cause I crank better than you.
I crank just as well as you.
Check out this dog vid, man.
Ha, a pirate pug,
how rad is that?
Wow, that's amazing.
- Check it, there's more!
- Ar!
Benjamin, what's up?
It's your friend 'tto here.
That liquid stuff looks lousy.
How 'bout I feed
you some real food.
Karl!
Alfred,
did you just talk to me?
Hey, Karl.
Otto,
I just thought Alfred was talking to me.
No one's been feeling too good
since you and Benjamin
aren't getting along.
Yeah, do you know where he is?
Oh sure, he's over at Zack's.
- What?
- Yeah.
Well who do we have here?
Hi, little guy.
Where's Benjamin?
Didn't anyone tell you yet?
No, tell me what?
Oh, I guess not.
Well there's no surprise.
He's left.
What?
Gone, maybe for good.
He figured he needs time off.
He must want a
better life for him.
But why would you care?
He knows you don't.
- Uh uh.
- Oh yeah.
He was so disappointed in you.
But you know,
he said humans and elephants
can never be friends.
She is lying!
Benjamin wouldn't leave just
because of some stupid fight.
Would he?
No, he wouldn't, really.
Never, I know Benjamin,
he wouldn't.
Yeah, he'd never just leave.
But it is rather strange.
We should look for him.

Excuse me,
have you seen Benjamin?
The talking elephant that lives here,
he's missing.
Have you seen Benjamin Blossom?
He's missing.
So, the mayor,
is he going to help out?
Haven't seen him.
Appears he's unavailable.
- Ah.
- Even Pichler can't be found.
That's very strange.
Alright I'm on it.
Have you seen
Benjamin Blossom?
Benjamin, just where are you?
- There he is!
- Hey there!
- Well aloha!
- Hey!
Hey.
- We wanted to call to say goodnight.
- Can you see how beautiful this is?
Hey, everything good, Otto?
- Sure.
- You seem a little sad, son.
I'm not, I'm just a bit tired.
Yes, Otto has the best friend in the world,
Benjamin.
So, you two having fun?
I miss Benjamin.
- What?
- Huh?
- What's that son?
- Nothing.
I'm doing fine.
But I feel really dead tired.
Bye bye.
- You get some good rest.
- Okay.
- Our best to Benjamin.
- Cheers!
Benjamin!
Karl,
Karl, Mr. Tierlieb!
Hello?
Otto?
I think Benjamin
was in the van!
- What?
- What are you talking about?
Hans and Franz had this
van and they were leaving.
I didn't think about it,
but that was the
day he disappeared.
Maybe Benjamin could
have been in there.
Calm down, that's crazy talk.
How could that happen?
Yes but good friends sometimes
sense things like that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay, then I should help you.
That alright?
- Yeah.
But wait, not in pajamas!
- Oh yeah, great, good.
- Some clothes!
Be right back.
Be careful now.
Where could that van be?
Wait, this is the van!
Yeah.
I think I can reach in.
Yeah.
It's them!
Shabizzle my dizzle,
my back hurts, ow.
Well no wonder,
you had that half ton guy
right on top of you.
And you were the idiot who wound
up getting stuck under him.
Bingo.
Otto, I've found something.
That's his hat.
See this wrapper?
Wow, trash.
No, it's,
the mayo's still fresh.
They must have bought
it this morning.
From the Albatross.
Isn't that by the,
The harbor!
Karl, can't we go any faster?
I've got it to the floor
but this thing's just too old.
I was supposed to get a new
one from Miss Zack soon.
No, better forget about that.
Mm hmm.
- Karla!
- Guys, what is it?
We're heading to the harbor.
We think Benjamin was
grabbed and taken there.
What?
So our friend was kidnapped?
That makes sense.
Let's meet up at the harbor.
- Good.
- See you there.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
We did warn you Zora.
Quiet and clean, you putz.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Psst, psst.
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
- Hey!
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
Where is Benjamin?
This isn't exactly the
greatest place to talk, Mayor.
And just where would
you suggest we speak?
It's total chaos with these
Benjamin Blossom nuts.
They should all be put in jail.
Well, Mr. Mayor,
all citizens have a right
to express their opinion freely.
That's article five of the...
- Quiet, enough.
Your whole idea was
to shrink the zoo
and make it more efficient
and clear out more room for high rise,
high rise condos.
Naturally.
Say something, Pichler!
- I...
- We feel that...
Something sensible.
You must know that well,
what long term consequences,
this kind of negative press has,
have.
Yes, how can we survive and protect 'em,
protect us?
How do we survive
this and protect them?
I say by building the citizens
of Neustadt a new zoo.
They will love those tall buildings -
Oh blah blah blah blah blah.
and beautiful
high rise condos.
- Shush!
- Shh, what he's trying to say...
- I want peace and quiet in this whole...
- Shh!
You know I must stay mayor,
got it?
I want to only hear
good news about the zoo
and great stuff about me.
And I hope you don't
have anything to do
with Benjamin's
disappearance or you're done!
Your contract with us will
be torn up and forgotten.
Pichler, come on.
You should bring Benjamin
back to smooth things out.
Are you insane?
At noon that's
ship will shove off
and then our big gray problem
will be gone for good.
You mean you're
gonna get rid of him?
Wait, by ship?
What did you dummies
think was the plan?
That he was just gonna chill out
in that container at the port?
No.
Benjamin is going
on a long voyage.
He's been bought by a
rich Chinese collector.
Maybe he'll like
it better there.
Oh.
Worthless,
you're amateurs and losers.
Excuse me!
Did you happen to serve food
to a tall,
skinny guy with a mustache?
And another shorter guy
with a cap and mustache?
Two guys like that?
They ate here this morning.
That's great, cool.
And did you notice an
elephant with them?
What you mean a big
fat one wearing a hat,
with huge ears and gray skin?
Yeah!
You've got a really
wild imagination!
Now go play somewhere else,
I'm working here.
- Otto, Karl, follow me.
- Karla!
Okay.
Said I should call you
if anyone gets too nosy.
Yeah, got it.
Yeah, I'll handle it.
Okay,
so now just where at the harbor
would you hide an
elephant around here?
Why sure,
in a shipping container!
- Yeah of course.
- Right!
There's so many.
Yeah, which one could it be?
Yeah, we'd better look around.
Sounds good.
- Mr. Blossom?
- Benjamin!
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Mr. Blossom?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
Benjamin?
How am I ever gonna find him?
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
There's this red headed kid,
'bout this tall.
He must be somewhere.
- Yikes.
- Hey, did you hear that?
Let's go search
back there again.
You take the left,
I'll take the right.
Benjamin?
Benjamin!
Benjamin, wake up!
You alright?
Otto!
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just really tired.
Don't worry,
you'll both get a nice rest
on the long boat ride you got coming.
Bon voyage from Zora Zack!
This isn't good.
You can say that again.
This isn't good!
Thank you.
What's going on, an earthquake?
Well?
No trace of Benjamin, you?
No, not a trace.
So where's Otto?
Looking from back there,
I suppose.
Then let's wait right here for him,
hmm?
- Cool.
- Mm hmm.
Oh, hi there.
Are you hoping
he'll come home too?
Hopefully they'll find him
and bring back
Benjamin really soon.
Why are we doing all
this moving around?
No idea.
So what's that noise?
My guess is that they
must have put us on a ship.
I think you're
right about that.
So then where are we going?
We're going nowhere!
We gotta get to the
zoo and save it!
I'm with you on doing that.
We gotta save it.
But how?
There, Benjamin!
Can you push that out?
No problem!
There!
- Super, Benjamin!
I see Karla and Karl!
Karla, Karl!
Karl!
Darn, they can't hear me.
Let me try.
Teroo!
Even that didn't work.
They can't hear us.
What are we gonna do?
Hey, by any chance
do you happen to have a
sugar cube in your pocket?
Come on, Benjamin,
this is not time...
- Otto!
Do you trust me?
Sure.
I mean,
why of course I trust you.
You'll have to aim my
trunk and make the shot.
I can't see anything.
Benjamin, what an idea!
Now!
- Huh?
- What is it?
Something hard just hit me!
Hit you where?
On my neck, just now.
Hey, that's weird.
It's a sugar cube.
Benjamin!
Benjamin, Benjamin?
Hey there, we're up here!
There's Otto!
And a trunk!
- Hello!
- Benjamin, Benjamin, hey!
Hey, we're up here!
The ship's leaving now.
We need to stop it then!
There!
You must stop that
ship from leaving!
What, absolutely not.
There is a kidnapping
victim on board!
Wait,
someone's been kidnapped?
Trust me, I'm a reporter.
Ooh.
Stop your ship,
don't weigh anchor,
you have kidnapped
hostage on board.
- He's big!
- He is big.
- And he's fat!
- And he's fat.
He's got a trunk.
And he's got a, a what?
A big trunk!
Yeah?
Yeah!
In case you're
writing a story,
my name's Bruno Bowings,
spelled like it sounds.
They stopped us from leaving!
Phew.
- That was close.
- Too close.
- So Otto.
- Yes?
I have a big question.
Am I still your friend?
No.
You're my very best friend!
I'm sorry for what I said.
So am I.
That mean Miss Zack
is gonna be sorry.
I'm just hoping
we're not too late.
Me too.
And because we sadly, sadly don't know
Benjamin Blossom's whereabouts right now,
he made a choice not to be the
trademark face of this zoo.
So we move on.
This whole thing
stinks to high heaven.
Benjamin would never
leave our zoo in need.
Benjamin
belongs here at the zoo.
- Yes, that's true.
- Bring Benjamin back!
I guarantee this,
even without Benjamin,
the new zoo here in Neustadt,
will enrich and make proud,
all the citizens of Neustadt.
And now comes a great moment
in the future of
this zoo and city.
Mr. Mayor,
I now request you sign the contract.
Miss Zack.
Please, after you.
Just sign right there.
Go ahead.
No!
Will you sign it already?
Don't sign it, don't!
Miss Zack drugged
and kidnapped Benjamin!
What nonsense!
It's not nonsense.
She put me the sleep
with tainted sugar cubes!
She's been exploiting
poor Benjamin
and his weakness for sugar.
- Yeah!
- Don't put our zoo's future
in her evil hands.
She'll stop at nothing.
She has no proof of this.
No proof at all!
None, no, nothing at all!
Do you have any real
evidence for these allegations?
- Not really.
- You see?
So which part do I need to push,
Mrs. Meier?
Mr.
White, they can hear you.
Oh ho, that voice,
it's Walter!
My, you look extra lovely,
Mrs. Meier.
Walter, they can all hear you.
Is that so?
Ah, oh well.
Let's just press this.
The following
recordings I taped,
prove the evil doings of the criminal,
Miss Zack.
Her little game is over.
Right.
That's supposed to be evidence, huh?
That's ridiculous.
- Yes, ridiculous.
Switch off that old
fool and let's finish up.
Yeah.
Oh, right, here it is.
You should
bring Benjamin back
to smooth things out.
Hey that's me!
For heavens sake,
at noon that ship will shove off
and then our big,
gray problem will be gone for good.
Ship, what ship?
- You mean get rid of him?
- It doesn't mean a thing.
What did you dummies
think was the plan?
That he was just gonna chill out
in that container at the port?
No,
Benjamin is going on a long voyage.
That's not me.
He's been bought by a rich,
Chinese collector.
Maybe he'll like
it better there.
I have something to say.
Ladies and gentleman,
I have had nothing to do with this.
Hey idiots,
start the wrecking ball!
- No.
- Not today.
Chop, chop,
or you'll both be fired!
You can forget it.
We quit!
Honestly,
then I'll do it myself.
- Wait!
- No!
Oh no,
she's unleashing the wrecking ball!
I will laugh last!
Benjamin!
Oh no!
Ha, got him.
Oh dear me!
The ball!
Watch out!
Here it comes again!
Watch it!
Mr. Tierlieb!
Oh boy!
That's enough.
Stop that ball, go!
You okay?
Yeah.
Now that's how you stop a wrecking ball,
see?
So much for Neustadt,
ha, a town of losers!
You can do what you
want with your zoo.
I'm checking out!
Alfred!
You meddling, stupid monkey!
Oh!
That's not the
smell of success!
That goes to the gorillas.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay,
take this load to the rhino enclosure
for their new roof, thanks.
Oh, thanks, Schnippy.
My yellow paint just ran out.
Thank you so much.
And in about an hour,
I'll need some white paint, alright?
So,
have I ever told you about the time
I paddled through the
sewers of Moscow in a canoe?
It was there that I met
up with this crocodile
that was as long as a train,
as tall as a ladder
and as wide as a bus.
There we go, that's it.
Looks great.
I'd say all those drops in
the ocean really add up.
When everyone pitches in,
things happen.
So Mayor,
have you learned from your mistakes
and could you explain
why all Neustadt citizens
now have a say in the
design of the zoo?
This zoo's importance
is huge to me.
And thanks to my intelligence,
generous support and leadership,
we have not only
been able to redo,
to completely fix the
zookeeper's house,
so that it's truly fine,
all the enclosures
and the playgrounds
were also refurbished thanks to my,
Pichler?
Yes,
it's amazingly gratifying what you've done
and you do belong in the zoo.
Indeed.
So the citizens of
Neustadt can now rest assured
that's you will always
represent their interests
over big business in the future?
- Represent is way too weak a word.
- Does he ever stop talking?
- I'll do my best and more.
- Alfred!
Now you have your home back
and your old swing.
Wowee, look at that!
Hey dudes, check us out!
You like our red,
ice, ice, baby style?
Awesome, right?
- Sure!
What do you think about
our new Softee 3000, huh?
Wait, this was a feeding robot
designed by Miss Zack!
- Wowee, whoa!
We made some
sweet improvements.
Yeah, a rad modification.
Insane upgrade.
2.0.
Ah!
There's just one
thing left to do.
And you're the only one who can do it,
Benjamin!
Teroo!
