Watch out!

0:01:040:01:05

He-he-he-he-he!

0:01:070:01:08

You see, even though Ostrich could fly, just like any other bird...

0:01:080:01:14

Watch out!!

0:01:140:01:16

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:01:160:01:18

..she couldn't fly very well.

0:01:180:01:21

Watch out!!

0:01:210:01:23

Duck, everyone!

0:01:230:01:25

Whoa! >

0:01:250:01:27

That was a very big duck.

0:01:270:01:28

It's not a duck, Elephant.

0:01:280:01:31

It's Ostrich.

0:01:310:01:32

Eek! Yow! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:01:320:01:35

Whoa. Oh, oh, oh.

0:01:350:01:36

Phew. Yeek! Oh!

0:01:360:01:39

THEY ALL WINCE

0:01:390:01:41

Just an eensy bit more practise, that's all.

0:01:420:01:45

SNORING

0:01:510:01:54

-Yar-ooo!

-He-he-he-he-he! Oh!

0:01:570:02:00

Yar-ooo!

0:02:000:02:01

Oh! Oh!

0:02:030:02:05

Will you two keep it down?!

0:02:050:02:07

-Yar-ooo!

-That's it, that's it. Right. That's it.

0:02:070:02:11

-Oh, this is ridiculous.

-Yar-ooo!

0:02:110:02:15

I must get up to the moo-oo-oon!

0:02:150:02:18

Some of us are trying to get some sleep. Will you two...

0:02:180:02:22

Spider, watch out!!

0:02:220:02:23

Coming in for a crash la-aa-aa-aa-and...ing!

0:02:230:02:27

Whoa. He-he-he-he. Phew.

0:02:270:02:31

Well...

0:02:310:02:32

Are you all right?

0:02:320:02:34

Just a little more practise. I think...

0:02:340:02:37

..tomorrow.

0:02:390:02:40

OSTRICH SNORES

0:02:400:02:43

-Tomorrow?!

-I must get up to the moo-oo-oo-oo-oon!

0:02:430:02:48

Listen, Jackal. If you want to get up to that moon so much,

0:02:480:02:52

do something about it.

0:02:520:02:55

But I've tried everything. Yar-ooo!

0:02:550:02:58

Jumping?

0:02:580:03:00

Doesn't work.

0:03:000:03:01

-Climbing?

-Nuh-uh.

0:03:010:03:02

What about flying?

0:03:020:03:04

Flying?

0:03:040:03:06

I don't know... Flying.

0:03:060:03:08

Get some feathers.

0:03:080:03:10

Fly up to the moon yourself.

0:03:100:03:12

Where will I get feathers?

0:03:120:03:14

Oh... Huh!

0:03:140:03:16

I know just the place.

0:03:160:03:18

Walk this way.

0:03:180:03:20

Spider. I can't walk that way. I'm a jackal.

0:03:230:03:26

Come on.

0:03:260:03:28

Look at the size of those feathers, hmm?

0:03:290:03:33

Yeah, I could spin them into lovely wings,

0:03:330:03:36

just for you.

0:03:360:03:37

Really?

0:03:370:03:38

Then I could fly up to the moon.

0:03:380:03:41

Mm-hm.

0:03:410:03:42

Oh, that's just not going to be enough.

0:03:450:03:48

Ah-hah!

0:03:500:03:51

Spider, Ostrich will wake up.

0:03:590:04:02

Oh, nothing wakes Ostrich.

0:04:020:04:04

Luckily, she sleeps like a buffalo.

0:04:040:04:07

OK, then.

0:04:090:04:10

I'll start at the other end.

0:04:100:04:12

He-he-he! Then I could fly up to the moon.

0:04:150:04:18

SNORING

0:04:250:04:26

Oh, dear. Look at Ostrich.

0:04:260:04:28

Poor thing.

0:04:280:04:31

Some beast has been up to something.

0:04:310:04:33

Bet it was Hyena.

0:04:330:04:35

He's always up to something.

0:04:350:04:37

-What are you going to say to Ostrich?

-"Nice legs"?

0:04:370:04:41

ALL LAUGH

0:04:410:04:42

-But they are.

-We have to be honest.

0:04:420:04:44

Jambo, everyone! He-he!

0:04:460:04:48

Hoo-hoo-hoo.

0:04:480:04:49

It's a bit chilly this morning. Hoo-hoo-hoo.

0:04:490:04:52

Uh... Well, that might be because, um...

0:04:520:04:57

Ostrich, you have been plucked.

0:04:570:04:59

Some naughty beast

0:04:590:05:01

has plucked all the feathers from your neck and legs.

0:05:010:05:05

But if you don't mind me saying, they do look rather nice.

0:05:050:05:08

Oh, oh, oh.

0:05:080:05:11

My legs have been plucked!

0:05:110:05:13

And your neck.

0:05:130:05:14

My...my neck, too?

0:05:140:05:16

My neck and my legs!

0:05:160:05:18

Whatever do I look like?

0:05:180:05:20

A very big chicken?

0:05:200:05:22

Elephant!

0:05:220:05:23

LAUGHTER

0:05:230:05:25

Jambo, everyone! What's up?

0:05:250:05:27

Nothing. Nothing.

0:05:270:05:30

Ha-ha-ha!

0:05:300:05:31

Who is the overgrown chicken? Ha-ha!

0:05:310:05:33

Hyena, did you have anything to do with this?

0:05:330:05:37

Me? Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:05:370:05:39

No.

0:05:390:05:40

Mmm. Yum-yum yummy!

0:05:400:05:42

Perfect for a tiny, weeny,

0:05:420:05:45

-little nip.

-Hey, hey!

-Hyena!

0:05:450:05:48

-Leave Ostrich alone.

-Just a little nibble.

0:05:480:05:51

Watch out, Ostrich. Hyena is going to nip you. Fly, Ostrich, fly!

0:05:510:05:55

-Be careful, Ostrich. He's behind you.

-Oh, no!

0:05:550:05:59

-I don't think I can fly without my feathers.

-Then, run!

0:05:590:06:03

-Whoo!

-Come here, Ostrich!

0:06:030:06:06

Go, Os!

0:06:060:06:07

-Yeah! Ha-ha-ha!

-That's it - run!

0:06:070:06:09

Go, Ostrich, go!

0:06:090:06:12

THEY CHEER

0:06:120:06:15

I'll get you!

0:06:150:06:16

-Ostrich!

-Come on, come on!

0:06:160:06:19

Well, for a big bird, she can really move.

0:06:190:06:23

THEY CHEER

0:06:230:06:27

I'll get you!

0:06:270:06:29

You've got to catch me first. Whay-hay!

0:06:290:06:32

Yah-ha-ha-ha! He-he-he-he!

0:06:320:06:34

Oh!

0:06:340:06:35

ALL: Ooh!

0:06:350:06:37

I enjoyed the running bit.

0:06:370:06:39

Need to practise the stopping. He-he-he!

0:06:390:06:42

ALL LAUGH

0:06:420:06:43

Wanyama - animals!

0:06:430:06:45

Oh, no. Don't let Lion see me like this...please.

0:06:450:06:49

Hide, Ostrich, hide.

0:06:490:06:51

Erm... Erm...

0:06:510:06:54

-Hide!

-Yes, go on, hide.

0:06:560:06:58

Now, what's this I hear about Ostrich?

0:06:580:07:01

-Some beast has stolen her feathers.

-Hyena?

0:07:010:07:04

No, for once it wasn't Hyena.

0:07:040:07:07

Well, we must find the feathers and the animal who stole them.

0:07:070:07:12

Oh, yes. Yes, Your Majesty.

0:07:120:07:14

Now, where is Ostrich?

0:07:140:07:15

-Hmm-hmm.

-Mm-mm.

0:07:150:07:18

Don't be silly, Monkey. That's a bush.

0:07:180:07:21

Eh-eh. Uh, uh, uh!

0:07:210:07:24

Oh. Ostrich is behind the bush?

0:07:240:07:26

Hmm... Ostrich?

0:07:290:07:32

ECHOING: Jambo, Your Majesty.

0:07:320:07:35

Are you all right down there?

0:07:350:07:37

-Yes.

-Remarkable.

0:07:370:07:39

I would never have known it was you.

0:07:390:07:41

Well, some beast stole my feathers.

0:07:410:07:44

Yes, yes. I see. I see.

0:07:440:07:47

-May I make a suggestion, Your Majesty?

-Be my guest, Tortoise.

0:07:470:07:51

We take one more of Ostrich's feathers... Elephant!

0:07:510:07:54

-Ooh!

-Sorry, Ostrich.

0:07:550:07:57

And then, when night falls, we go into the...

0:07:570:08:01

TORTOISE WHISPERS

0:08:010:08:02

..and then we catch the thief!

0:08:020:08:04

ALL LAUGH

0:08:040:08:06

That's brilliant!

0:08:060:08:07

Ssshhh! Ssshhh!

0:08:100:08:13

Oh, oh, oh! There's a good spot over there.

0:08:130:08:16

Now, Ostrich, bury your head in the ground...

0:08:180:08:21

..and we'll leave this feather right there.

0:08:230:08:27

He-he-he-he!

0:08:270:08:29

Now, we'll catch this naughty thief.

0:08:290:08:32

ALL GIGGLE

0:08:320:08:35

Just a few more feathers, Jackal, then I can

0:08:370:08:41

-make you the biggest and best pair of wings.

-Yes!

0:08:410:08:44

And then I can all the way up to the moo-oo-oo-oon!

0:08:440:08:48

Sshh, sshh. You see, there's one.

0:08:480:08:51

ANIMALS GIGGLE

0:08:510:08:54

He-he-he-he!

0:08:550:08:56

It's Jackal and Spider.

0:08:560:08:59

LION: What do you think you are doing?!

0:08:590:09:02

Me?

0:09:020:09:03

I...erm...nothing!

0:09:030:09:05

I-I-I'm not doing anything. Who said that?!

0:09:050:09:08

Stealing feathers, eh?

0:09:080:09:10

Jackal, did you steal Ostrich's feathers?!

0:09:100:09:14

GIGGLING

0:09:140:09:15

Sshh.

0:09:150:09:16

No. No, no, I didn't.

0:09:160:09:19

-It wasn't me. It was Spider.

-Huh!

0:09:190:09:21

-You helped!

-No! No, no. No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did!

0:09:210:09:24

A-ha! So you both stole them?

0:09:240:09:28

Yes, yes, oh, Talking Bush.

0:09:280:09:31

We did steal them.

0:09:310:09:32

Please leave us alone, Talking Bush.

0:09:320:09:36

LION LAUGHS

0:09:360:09:38

-Huh?

-Ah!

0:09:380:09:39

Talking Bush, show yourself!

0:09:390:09:41

ALL LAUGH

0:09:410:09:43

He-he-he-he-he!

0:09:430:09:47

-Ostrich?

-Ostrich?!

0:09:470:09:49

Jackal and Spider,

0:09:490:09:51

there will be no stealing in Tinga Tinga.

0:09:510:09:54

Now, give Ostrich her feathers back.

0:09:540:09:57

Erm...

0:09:570:09:58

-Actually, Your Majesty, I don't want my feathers back.

-Huh?

0:09:580:10:02

I wasn't good at flying. I like running better.

0:10:020:10:06

And she's really good.

0:10:060:10:08

ALL AGREE

0:10:080:10:09

Oh... This time, you two are very lucky.

0:10:090:10:14

Now, scuttle off and don't bother Ostrich again.

0:10:140:10:17

ALL LAUGH

0:10:170:10:18

Ah!

0:10:180:10:19

There you are, you great big chicken.

0:10:190:10:22

-Hyena!

-Yeah?

0:10:230:10:24

Oh, she's gone!

0:10:260:10:28

I don't believe it! Where is she?

0:10:280:10:30

Ostrich, where are you? Where are you?!

0:10:300:10:33

From that day on,

0:10:330:10:34

-whenever Ostrich wanted to hide, she just turned into a bush.

-He-he!

0:10:340:10:39

And that's why Ostrich sticks her head in the ground!

0:10:390:10:43

He-he! Has Hyena gone?

0:10:430:10:45

-He'll never find you.

-Ostrich?!

0:10:450:10:47

Hello? Ostrich, where are you?

0:10:490:10:51

I'm going to find you. I'll get you soon. Ha-ha!

0:10:510:10:55

And Hyena?

0:10:550:10:56

Well, that's a whole other story.

0:10:560:10:58

He-he-he!
