-# Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. #

-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

You see, there was a time when Woodpecker never, ever pecked.

0:01:070:01:12

In fact, she made no sound at all.

0:01:140:01:16

All the other birds had their own special sound.

0:01:160:01:20

Crow caw-ed.

0:01:200:01:22

-CAW-CAW

-The Tinga Birds sang...

0:01:220:01:24

# Sleep tight, sleep tight... #

0:01:240:01:28

..and clucked...

0:01:280:01:30

CLUCK CLUCK

0:01:300:01:31

Come on, little ones.

0:01:310:01:32

-And Parrot...

-And Parrot, and Parrot.

0:01:320:01:36

Well, Parrot...just copied everyone else! He-he!

0:01:360:01:40

But Woodpecker was totally, totally silent.

0:01:410:01:45

Jambo, Woodpecker, how was your day?

0:01:460:01:49

Busy, eh?

0:01:510:01:52

It wasn't busy?

0:01:530:01:55

It was quite busy...

0:01:550:01:58

But then again, not that busy?

0:01:580:02:00

Well, erm, I'd better go.

0:02:020:02:05

It's getting dark... Oh, really, really dark.

0:02:050:02:09

Nice talking to you though.

0:02:090:02:10

Tortoise? Tortoise, where are you?

0:02:160:02:19

CRUNCHING Have a guess.

0:02:190:02:21

I don't know. It's so dark, I can't see my trunk in front of my face.

0:02:210:02:26

SPLASHING

0:02:260:02:27

Ah, Crocodile?

0:02:270:02:29

-No, it's me, Hippo.

-Oh.

0:02:290:02:32

Where is everyone?

0:02:320:02:35

-Watch out!

-Oh!

-OW!

0:02:360:02:39

Ha-ha-ha, need some help?

0:02:390:02:41

Yes, please, Owl.

0:02:410:02:44

Use your big eyes and tell us what on earth is going on!

0:02:440:02:49

Well, monkeys, you are on top of Tickbird,

0:02:490:02:53

who is squished between the bottom of Hippo

0:02:530:02:56

and the bottom of Elephant.

0:02:560:02:58

And all of you are standing on top of...

0:02:580:03:00

Me! Tortoise!

0:03:000:03:02

THEY LAUGH

0:03:020:03:04

Sorry, Tortoise.

0:03:040:03:05

Oh, asante, thank you very much.

0:03:050:03:09

Now, let's just have a bit of calm

0:03:090:03:12

and try and figure out what is going on.

0:03:120:03:17

Well, it's very dark. And everybody keeps bumping into each other...

0:03:170:03:22

We know that, Elephant, but why?

0:03:220:03:25

Animals, the moon has disappeared!

0:03:250:03:29

The moon has completely disappeared.

0:03:290:03:33

All: What?

0:03:330:03:35

Eagle's right, there's no moon.

0:03:350:03:38

-No moon at all.

-And no stars.

0:03:380:03:42

Look!

0:03:420:03:44

-Someone's got to tell Lion straightaway.

-We'll go, we'll go.

0:03:440:03:48

Monkeys, it's too dark and you'll get lost.

0:03:480:03:52

-But...

-But...

-But...

-Not another word.

0:03:520:03:56

This is definitely a job for the birds.

0:03:560:03:58

We can spread the word and get Lion here in no time.

0:03:580:04:03

-Tickbird!

-Right away.

0:04:030:04:06

Come on, we can't miss out on this.

0:04:060:04:09

Ostrich, run and tell Lion the moon and the stars have disappeared.

0:04:120:04:18

Uh!

0:04:180:04:19

-Peacock...

-Uh?

0:04:200:04:22

-Tell Lion, the moon and the stars have disappeared.

-What?

0:04:220:04:26

-The moon and the stars have disappeared?

-What?

0:04:260:04:29

The moon and the stars have disappeared?

0:04:290:04:32

Woodpecker, Woodpecker, tell Lion,

0:04:340:04:37

the moon and the stars have disappeared.

0:04:370:04:40

HE SNORES

0:04:430:04:45

-Maybe we should say something.

-What did Tortoise say?

0:04:570:05:00

Not another word.

0:05:000:05:02

Lion...

0:05:050:05:07

Come on.

0:05:110:05:13

Oh, Lion should be here by now.

0:05:150:05:19

It has been a very, very long time.

0:05:190:05:22

CRASHING

0:05:220:05:23

What was that?

0:05:230:05:25

He-he-he-he, nothing!

0:05:250:05:27

Monkeys, have you been up to mischief?

0:05:270:05:30

-No.

-No.

-No.

0:05:300:05:31

Woodpecker?

0:05:310:05:34

I know Lion will definitely have got that message.

0:05:340:05:38

My birds never let me down.

0:05:380:05:40

But Lion didn't get the message!

0:05:400:05:42

What are you talking about?

0:05:420:05:44

-Tickbird told Ostrich...

-Who told Peacock...

-Who told Parrot...

0:05:440:05:48

-Who told Woodpecker...

-Who...

-Who...

-Who...?

0:05:480:05:51

..couldn't pass the message on.

0:05:510:05:53

-And why didn't you say anything?

-You said, "Not another word."

-Oh!

0:05:570:06:03

Well, this is a disaster.

0:06:030:06:05

-No moon, no stars and no Lion.

-What are we going to do?

0:06:050:06:09

Well, I'm going to fly up and take another look.

0:06:090:06:13

-The moon can't just simply disappear.

-Good plan, Eagle.

0:06:130:06:17

Where can they be?

0:06:260:06:28

No moon, no stars...

0:06:290:06:32

no nothing! The moon and the stars are nowhere to be found.

0:06:320:06:38

The moon and the stars are nowhere to be found.

0:06:380:06:43

0:07:140:07:16

PECK-PECK

0:07:160:07:18

Uh? What is that noise in the dead of night?

0:07:180:07:21

What is going on?

0:07:210:07:23

PECK-PECK-PECK

0:07:240:07:27

PECK-PECK

0:07:270:07:28

SHE LAUGHS

0:07:280:07:31

PECK-PECK-PECK

0:07:320:07:34

Can you hear that?

0:07:350:07:37

-There's another one!

-And another.

-Look, a star!

0:07:370:07:41

-The stars are coming back.

-And another one.

0:07:410:07:45

# Tinga, Tinga, lost in night

0:07:450:07:47

# We had no stars, had no light

0:07:470:07:52

# Now they've come, come to shine

0:07:520:07:55

# Shine their light on everyone

0:07:550:08:00

# Once was dark, now it's light

0:08:000:08:04

# On this magical Tinga night... #

0:08:040:08:08

THEY LAUGH

0:08:080:08:11

Elephant, the stars are coming back. Ho-ho-ho!

0:08:110:08:14

Can some beast tell me what is going on?

0:08:140:08:17

Oh, Your Majesty, it has been one of the darkest nights in Tinga Tinga.

0:08:170:08:22

The moon and the stars disappeared.

0:08:220:08:24

And what is that tapping sound?

0:08:240:08:27

I don't know, but it's something to do with the stars coming back.

0:08:270:08:32

Look!

0:08:320:08:34

PECK-PECK

0:08:340:08:36

The moon! Ho-ho-ho!

0:08:480:08:52

-It's the moon.

-Oh, the moon is back.

0:08:520:08:55

-# Tinga, Tinga, was lost in night

-# Lost in night

0:08:570:09:01

-# Now the moon

-Now the moon

-Is shining bright

0:09:010:09:05

# It's so glorious, glorious

0:09:050:09:10

# Glorious, glorious... #

0:09:100:09:14

How wonderful, all is good with the night again.

0:09:140:09:19

Eagle, how did you do it?

0:09:190:09:21

It wasn't me.

0:09:210:09:23

Owl, did you summon the moon?

0:09:240:09:27

Oh, no, no, no, no, I was here all the time.

0:09:270:09:31

Well, it's a total mystery, then.

0:09:320:09:35

What is she trying to say?

0:09:400:09:42

Erm... Erm...

0:09:430:09:47

PECK-PECK-PECK

0:09:520:09:54

Oh, that's the same sound from the night sky.

0:09:540:09:57

PECK-PECK-PECK

0:09:570:09:59

Woodpecker, was that you?

0:09:590:10:01

PECK-PECK-PECK

0:10:010:10:03

Eek... It was me!

0:10:030:10:07

THEY GASP Woodpecker spoke!

0:10:070:10:10

Woodpecker spoke!

0:10:100:10:11

I pecked on the sky and I made the stars.

0:10:110:10:16

THEY LAUGH

0:10:180:10:19

Woodpecker said something!

0:10:190:10:22

PECK-PECK

0:10:220:10:24

Then I pecked again and made the moon.

0:10:240:10:27

Oh, thank you, Woodpecker.

0:10:270:10:30

And now you have found your own special sound.

0:10:300:10:34

A sound that is going to prove very useful in Tinga Tinga.

0:10:340:10:37

-Well done, Woodpecker!

-And that's why Woodpecker pecks.

0:10:370:10:42

I just wanted to do right.

0:10:420:10:44

I'm very proud of you, little bird.

0:10:440:10:46

Tonight, you were the real star.

0:10:460:10:50

And Eagle? Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:500:10:55
