One. Ha-ha! Two. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
You see, there was a time when Zebra didn't have stripes. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
Zebra was as white as white can be. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Aren't you playing hide and seek, Zebra? | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
No. I just want to eat my grass in peace, thank you very much. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
That's all Zebra wanted to do, graze... | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
and graze! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Nine, ten. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Coming, ready or not! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Found you, Zebra! Ha-ha! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Oh, I'm not playing, Elephant. I'm grazing. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Big news! Big news! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Like you've never heard before. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
Oh, there you all are. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Ha-ha, whose go is it now? Whose go is it now? | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-Elephant! -Ssh! -Eagle's got big news! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Lion sent me. Magical things are happening in Tinga Tinga! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
The great cave is full of presents. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Like mangoes? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
ALL: Oooh! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
Better than mangoes! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Horns and coats, tails and furs. It's a miracle. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
I'd like a whole new look. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Hoo-hoo, what could I get? What could I get?! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
A slightly bigger brain. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Oh, don't listen to him, Elephant. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-Let's go to the cave! -The cave, let's go! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
See you at the cave! | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
That's not fair. Mama Cheetah's definitely going to get there first. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
I'm not sure I want anything. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
If you don't want anything, then don't go. It's just not fair. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
Ohh, and what about me? Huh?! I'll never get there. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-I'll stay with you, Tortoise. -No, no, you will do no such thing. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
You, Elephant, will go ahead and make sure you save something for me. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
-Anything special? -A new shell! Ha-ha! And make sure it's shiny! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Chop-chop, Zebra. Hurry up, you might miss out. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
I just want to be left alone to eat my grass. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
You never know, Zebra, you might find a splash of colour in the cave. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
White is so spectacularly boring. Wait for me! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Zebra, don't you want a present from the great cave? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
All I want is fresh, juicy, delicious grass. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
I'll be there, I'll be there. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-OK, then. -See you later. -Come on, monkeys. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
# Grass, glorious grass | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
# Grass, glorious grass... # | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Oh, it's exciting! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Now, as you all know this is a very special day. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
A magical day. Is everybody here? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-Yes! -Yes, Your Majesty. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Very good. Monkeys! | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-Here! -Here too! -Here three! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Very good. Zebra? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
Zebra said he would be here in a minute, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
but there was a lot of grass on the way. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
And he was eating rather a lot of it. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
You mean he was eating a lot of a lot of it! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Well, we can't wait for greedy Zebra. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Well said, Lion, well said. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Now every beast will go into the cave. First come, first served. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-So Cheetah first. Then Elephant. -Hoo-hoo! | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-Hippo. -Oh, I'm just happy the way I am, Your Majesty. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
Very good, Hippo, very good. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
And may I say, Your Majesty, you two are simply perfect the way you are. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:18 | |
Ha-ha, thank you, Hippo. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Thank you. Now, where was I? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Mama Hen, Warthog! | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
Tickbird. And... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Me. Peacock! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
No, you sit tight, Peacock. You're too spoilt already. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
Oh! But-but-but... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-No buts! -Oh! | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Now where is Zebra and poor old Tortoise? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Eh, Zeb... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:42 | |
Zebra... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Sc... Um... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but... | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
ZEBRA! Could you get a move on, please?! | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
But this grass is the juiciest and greenest grass ever. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
Why can't you all just leave me alone to chomp on it? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
May I make a suggestion? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
You might find something to wear in the great cave | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
that'll make you less easy to spot. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Then you could eat all the grass you like! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
Hmm, maybe you are right, Tortoise. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
If I wasn't so easy to see, | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
maybe I could eat grass all day long and no-one would bother me. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
Ah-ha! Now, come on before it's too late. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Mmm, look at my new lovely whiskers! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-Fine whiskers, Mama Cheetah! For a fine cat. -Thank you. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
Ha-ha, look at my pretty new tail. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-Yeah! -Takes away from the face, I suppose. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
-Peacock! -Ha-ha-ha! I couldn't find a bigger brain, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
but I did find these lovely big teeth! Hee-hee! Look at them! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
They're called Tusks, Elephant! Tusks! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Well, whatever they're called, I like them. They go with my ears. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Can we go in? Can we go? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
Can we go, please?! | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Yes, monkeys! | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
Come on! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
Jambo, everyone. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
Ah, Tortoise, you made it. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
It's been quite a journey, Your Majesty. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
Look at the size of Zebra's tummy! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Ah-ah! Enough grass for now, Zebra. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
Go with monkeys and Tortoise into the great cave. It's getting late. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
Let's see if I can find myself a nice new shell. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
I did look, Tortoise, but there's not very much left. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
Don't worry, Elephant. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
Oh, nice tusks, by the way, they really suit you! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Asante, thank you. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Into the cave! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Ha-ha, that's a big tummy. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-Oh. -Aw. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:53 | |
There's nothing here! | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Hoo-hoo! Oh... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
No grass. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:58 | |
No shiny new shell. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
Everything's been taken. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
There is something! Look what I've found. A black coat. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
A very dull black coat. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Oh, boring! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Ooh, Zebra! You should try it on. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
I was hoping for something a little big more... | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-exciting. -Well, it might make you a little less obvious. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
It's too small. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
No, no, no. It will fit. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Oh, all right, then. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Come on, Zebra. -That's it. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
It will fit! I know it will. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Come on, Zebra! | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
That is a very big belly! | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-It will fit. -Yes, it will. Yes, it will. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
It's not working. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-Oh, no. -It's definitely too small. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Zebra, we've come all this way, we're not giving up now. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
On the count of three, take a really big breath in | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-and then hold your tummy in. Right? -Mmm. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-One. -Two. -Three. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Huh! | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
Hold your tummy in. Hold it in! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
This is in! | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
We've done it! | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
How does it look? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
I don't know. We can't see you at all now. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Let's go outside, let's go outside. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
Come on, let's go outside. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Birds and beast, | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
can we present to you the new Zebra! | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
THEY GIGGLE | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
THEY GASP | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
Zebra, is that you? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
How do I look? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Um...a lot smaller and a lot blacker. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
Oh, all that squeezing has made me hungry. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
Uh, I don't think bending down is a very good idea! | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
Let me help. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
THEY GASP | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Uh-oh! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:16 | |
Oh, my goodness! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
Ah! Ha-ha-ha! | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
You've gone all stripy! | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
It's definitely an improvement. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Oh, and it's so much easier to breathe! | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
I think I'll just go over here | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
and have a little more of that delicious grass. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
And that's why Zebra has stripes. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
His white tummy actually burst out of his new black coat. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
Making stripes. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
Don't do another stripe! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
I just want to be left alone to eat my grass. Thank you very much. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
Zebra! Move a little to the left. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Now move to the right. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
Left again. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
You know what, Zebra? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
You are quite difficult to see in the shade with those new stripes. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
Perfect. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
And from that day on, Zebra's new stripes helped him hide, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:34 | |
so he could eat grass all day long. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Hee-hee! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Sorry you didn't get your new shell, Tortoise. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
I was rather looking forward to it. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
You wouldn't look the same | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
with a nice new shiny shell. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
No, we like you | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
just the way you are. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
Oops, sorry! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
Thank you, my friend. Ha-ha! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
-And Tortoise's broken shell? -Ha-ha! | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Well, that's a whole other story. Hee-hee! | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
