SNORING | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
You see, there was a time when Owl was not so very awake. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
She had tiny little eyes and tiny little ears. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Hey! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
-Hm? Wha...?! -Lazy feathers! | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
-OWL COUGHS -I'm talking to you! -Huh? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
-Who's that? -You are supposed to be guarding Eagle's nest, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
not using it as a pillow. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
-OWL SNORES -Hee-hee-hee! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
See? Tiny eyes, tiny ears | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-and very, very lazy! Hee-hee! -Ha-ha-ha-ha! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
Somebody is stealing mangoes! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
-Outrageous! -Hm! Shouldn't be allowed! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Warthog, it is certainly NOT allowed! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Elephant! Summon the animals, please. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
A-hem! | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS LOUDLY | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Meeting! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
ALL: Wake up, lazy feathers! Twit-twoo! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Eh? Oi? Ay-ay-ay! | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Made it! | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
What is this meeting for? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-How's my nest? -Huh? -My nest! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
How's my nest?! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-Yes, I did rest, thank you. -MONKEYS GIGGLE | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
-No, I said, "HOW'S MY NEST?" -Silence! | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
Something is very wrong in Tinga Tinga. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Only yesterday, there was a big pile of mangoes here. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Now look what remains. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
And what does that mean? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
Some animal is taking mangoes without permission. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
-Terrible. -Wasn't me. -Shocking. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Birds, have you seen anything from the skies? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-# Not a single thing Not a single thing. # | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
-(Owl!) -Huh? -We have not seen anything. -Huh? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
Owl? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
I told you, Lion. We birds have not seen a single thing, | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
especially Owl, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
who's been guarding my nest, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
-haven't you, Owl? -Yes, yes. I've been guarding. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
Hmm. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
Frog, have you seen anything? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
No. Ribbit! | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Look! The mangoes have gone! -Who stole the mangoes? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-Who stole them? -I didn't see anybody. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
SILENCE! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-May I suggest something, Your Highness? -Tortoise. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
We should guard all the mango piles day and night | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
and that way we will catch the thief. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
Excellent suggestion, Tortoise. Excellent. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Owl! | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
-Huh? -(That's you!) -Yes, Your Majesty? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
You must report back to me with news from the mango piles. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-But... But... -No buts! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
What did Lion say? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-Grrr! OWL! -What? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Ribbit! Ribbit! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Jambo, Frog. Anything strange? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Quiet night here. Nothing strange at all, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
as you can see. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-Good, good. -And you? How are things? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
Yawn! Oh, you know, trying my best to stay awake | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
but all this flying around all night long is very tiring. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
-My back isn't what it used to be and I can't... -Gasp! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
The mangoes have gone! The mangoes have gone! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-How on earth did that happen? -I have no idea. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
I'd better check on the other mango piles. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Elephant! Tortoise! Is everything OK here with the mangoes? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:42 | |
Why, of course it is, Owl. Everything's fine, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
-isn't it, Elephant? -Mm-hm. -Good, good. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
You know, Frog's pile disappeared right before my very eyes. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
Oh, my! The thief must be very clever. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
But we are much cleverer than any thief, aren't we, Elephant? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
No... Yes... Oh, yes! Ha-ha! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
You see, my plan is foolproof. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
With Elephant standing over the mangoes and me keeping watch, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
no animal could ever get past us. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Not in a million years. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
Not even in a million years. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Impossible! You see... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
WHAT?! | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-They've gone! -Oh-h! -The mangoes have gone! | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Oh, no, it's happened again! Oh! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-Where are your mangoes? -A simple, "Good evening," would be nice, Owl. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:38 | |
I don't mean to be rude | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
but mangoes are disappearing right before my very eyes. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
This is incredibly serious. What happened? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Well, first it was with Frog, then with Tortoise and Elephant. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
As we were talking, they just disappeared. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
Ah! The mangoes have gone! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Oh, no! Not again! What am I going to do? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
-ALL?! All gone?! -I'm afraid so, Your Majesty. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
Owl, you were there every time the mangoes disappeared | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
and you didn't see a thing?! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
No, Your Majesty. I didn't see anything. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-MONKEYS LAUGH -Monkeys! It is not a joking matter! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
-May I suggest something, Your Majesty? -Hmm. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
We must guard the mango tree. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
If we don't, we may not have any mangoes left. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-He's right. Mm-hm. -A very important job! Who will volunteer? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
-Oh... -Um... | 0:06:37 | 0:06:38 | |
What? No beast? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I will. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
Lion, I'm afraid I may have | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
over-exaggerated Owl's suitability for the job. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
I won't fail this time, Your Majesty. I promise. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
Hmm... | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
-Very well, Owl, but don't let us down...again. -I won't! I won't! | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
You must be alert and awake at all times. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
I will be, Your Majesty. Asante. Thank you. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
You don't know what this means... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
ALL: Eyes as big as the moon! Eyes as big as the moon! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
Eyes as big as the moon! Eyes as big as the moon! | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Eyes as big as the moon! Eyes as... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-Do you really think this is going to work? -Do you have a better idea? Ha! | 0:07:20 | 0:07:26 | |
Eyes as big as the moon. Eyes as... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Time's up! | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
Are they still as big as the moon? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
They are! Your eyes are as big as the moon! | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
Now you'll see anything coming, day or night. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
-Huh? Speak up! -I said, "YOU'LL BE ABLE TO..." | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
Oh, this is hopeless. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Elephant, give a good old blow to help Owl's tiny ears hear better. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
Stand back, everyone! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
ELEPHANT TRUMPETS | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
Oh, Elephant! Too loud! | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
-Huh? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! -Sorry! | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I meant to blow but a trumpet came out. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Oh, that's OK, Elephant. Now I can hear! | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
Oh, I can hear and see everything! | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
I'm definitely going to catch that mango thief now. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-Ha-ha! Excellent! -Good luck, Owl. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Eyes as big as the moon. Eyes as big as the moon. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Eye... Oh? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Eyes as big...as...the...m-m-moon? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
Eyes as big as... Oi! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
Naughty. Don't you...! | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
There you... Stop! | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
You naughty...! | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
Oh, I can't, uh, see behind me. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Ugh, I can't see! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Oh... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Oh! I can see! Naughty... Huh? What?! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
# Mangoes, mangoes Bring me some mangoes... # | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
What-what-what-what-what?! Brrrr! | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
# Mangoes, mangoes Bring me... # | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
It's the ants, everybody! The ants are stealing the mangoes! | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
I've caught the thief! I've caught the thief! Woo-hoo! Hee-hee! | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
-They are back! Hooray! -Well done, Owl. -Thank you, your Highness. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
Now, ants, what are we going to do with you? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-Banish the ants underground! -Well said! | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Silence! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
Hmm. Ants, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
stealing is against nature's law. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
What were you thinking? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
# We did not eat them We did not eat them. # | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
True, but you did steal them. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
# We need food Must have food. # | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
Hmm, also true. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
Well, animals, from now on, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
all of you must remember to leave scraps on the ground | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
so that you ants will always have something to eat. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
# Yes, we thank you Asante. # | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-A-hem! -Owl, good job guarding the mango tree. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
Thank you, Your Highness. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Now I can hear even the tiniest sound | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
and, look, I can see all around me, too. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Ha-ha-ha-ha! | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-Wow! -Amazing! -I can see this way... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
..and that way! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
How useful, Owl! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
From this day, you will be night guard for the whole of Tinga Tinga. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
I will stay awake all night to see and hear everything! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
-Look! I am seeing everywhere! -Hooray! | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
Everything I can see! Whoo! | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
-Ha-ha-ha! -Hooray! | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
So, that's why Owl's head turns all the way round. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-Hooray! -Ha-ha-ha! | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
Oh! Put me down, you naughty ants! | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-Everywhere I can see! -Hee-hee-hee! | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
And why are ants so strong? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Well, that's a whole other story! | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Goodbye! Hee-hee! | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
