-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:01:00

-Why Bushbaby has big eyes.

-Ha- ha-ha!

0:01:010:01:04

MONKEYS LAUGH

0:01:070:01:08

You see, there was a time

0:01:080:01:10

when Bushbaby didn't have big eyes. Ha-ha!

0:01:100:01:13

Oh, it's Bushbaby.

0:01:130:01:15

Now, which way was it? Was it this way?

0:01:150:01:19

Or was it that way?

0:01:190:01:20

-ALL: Jambo, Bushbaby!

-Jambo, monkeys.

-Are you lost?

0:01:200:01:24

Me? Lost? Ha-ha-ha! No, why?

0:01:240:01:28

You are looking everywhere.

0:01:280:01:31

And saying, "Now, which way is it?"

0:01:310:01:34

So, we thought maybe you were lost.

0:01:340:01:36

Me? Lost? Ha-ha!

0:01:360:01:38

I'm not lost, oh no!

0:01:380:01:40

But Bushbaby's eyes were so small that she was always getting lost.

0:01:400:01:45

Even though she'd never admit it!

0:01:450:01:47

-ELEPHANT CALL

-That's Elephant,

0:01:470:01:49

it must be important.

0:01:490:01:51

Yes, we must go immediately!

0:01:510:01:53

-Wrong way, Bushbaby. Ha-ha-ha!

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:01:530:01:59

ELEPHANT CALLS

0:01:590:02:01

I've never seen anything like it on all my travels. What is it?

0:02:010:02:06

-What is it?

-Well, it's just a very big hole, Guinea Fowl.

0:02:060:02:11

Ooh, a very big new hole!

0:02:110:02:14

With lots of LOVELY fresh mud!

0:02:140:02:16

ALL LAUGH

0:02:160:02:18

But it wasn't here yesterday

0:02:180:02:20

and big holes don't just appear.

0:02:200:02:22

Where did it come from, Your Majesty? Who made it? And why?

0:02:220:02:27

Too many questions! Too many questions!

0:02:270:02:29

Guinea Fowl is right, big holes like this don't just appear overnight.

0:02:290:02:35

This is the work of...

0:02:350:02:37

...Majitu!

0:02:380:02:40

ALL: Majitu?!

0:02:400:02:41

Majitu?!

0:02:410:02:43

Oh, Tortoise!

0:02:430:02:45

Majitu is just an old tale

0:02:450:02:46

about a big giant,

0:02:460:02:48

who used to roam about Tinga Tinga.

0:02:480:02:50

-It doesn't exist!

-Ahem!

0:02:500:02:52

I hate to interrupt, Your Majesty, but from up here, that hole

0:02:520:02:58

does look very much like the footprint of a very large beast.

0:02:580:03:03

The footprint of a GIANT beast!

0:03:030:03:07

A giant beast?! Oh!

0:03:070:03:09

There's a giant in Tinga Tinga!

0:03:090:03:11

A giant...a giant! Gulp.

0:03:110:03:14

Not just any giant - MAJITU -

0:03:140:03:18

the great giant of Tinga Tinga!

0:03:180:03:21

Go on, Tortoise, this is fascinating.

0:03:210:03:23

Majitu is so big, he makes Elephant look like the size of a flea!

0:03:230:03:27

ALL: Ooh!

0:03:270:03:29

So tall, he makes Giraffe look like the size of a tiny ant!

0:03:290:03:32

-ALL: Huh?!

-Oh! Gulp.

0:03:320:03:35

So scary, he makes...

0:03:350:03:37

Thank you, Tortoise, but no beast has ever seen this giant, Majitu.

0:03:370:03:43

As I said,

0:03:430:03:44

it's just an old Tinga Tinga tale.

0:03:440:03:46

If no beast has ever seen him,

0:03:460:03:48

then he can't exist.

0:03:480:03:50

-ALL: Hm.

-Well said, Bushbaby.

0:03:500:03:52

Now, lets just get on with our day.

0:03:520:03:55

News! Big news!

0:03:550:03:58

Trees have fallen in the forest,

0:03:580:04:00

and no bird knows why.

0:04:000:04:02

Aha! Majitu, the giant!

0:04:020:04:04

There's a giant, a giant!

0:04:040:04:06

Stop saying that! Stop saying giant!

0:04:060:04:09

Elephant, we won't see Majitu -

0:04:090:04:11

giants don't exist!

0:04:110:04:13

Precisely, lets just go and see, shall we?

0:04:130:04:16

Come on, Bushbaby!

0:04:160:04:18

-Come on, come on!

-Hm, let's go.

0:04:180:04:20

# It must have been a giant It must have been a giant.#

0:04:200:04:24

Did any bird see a giant?

0:04:240:04:26

# No, we didn't see a giant We didn't see a giant. #

0:04:260:04:31

Well, if you can't see him, he doesn't exist.

0:04:310:04:34

Quite right, Bushbaby.

0:04:340:04:36

Giants don't exist!

0:04:360:04:39

But who could do such a thing to such big trees?

0:04:390:04:42

Majitu!

0:04:420:04:43

It is said that Majitu, the giant, is so big,

0:04:430:04:47

he can walk around the world in a single day.

0:04:470:04:50

ALL GASP

0:04:500:04:51

Uh-huh, knocking down trees and squashing...

0:04:510:04:54

Stop this nonsense, Tortoise!

0:04:540:04:56

SLURP!

0:04:560:04:58

What in Tinga Tinga was that?!

0:04:590:05:01

Hm, hm, hmm.

0:05:010:05:03

Come on! Let's go and see.

0:05:030:05:05

Bushbaby, what if Majitu is real?

0:05:050:05:08

Look, no-one has ever seen this Majitu, so he can't be real.

0:05:080:05:13

Oh, no! The water hole is empty!

0:05:130:05:18

-Who could have drunk so much water?

-Majitu?

0:05:180:05:21

A giant so big that he could swallow an ocean in a single go!

0:05:210:05:26

Oh, no! There's a giant, there's a giant! Here's here!

0:05:260:05:31

Calm down!

0:05:310:05:34

Yes, Lion.

0:05:340:05:35

Now, listen, everyone.

0:05:350:05:37

This is getting silly!

0:05:370:05:39

Giants do not exist.

0:05:390:05:41

If you can't see him, he's not real!

0:05:410:05:44

I've NEVER seen anything like this.

0:05:440:05:47

If Majitu exists, we have to see him.

0:05:470:05:50

-Agreed?

-Yes, Your Majesty.

-Hm-hm.

0:05:500:05:53

So, we'll start at the top of the mountain.

0:05:540:05:58

Oh, we're sure to spot Majitu from up here, all right.

0:05:580:06:02

Lets look, shall we?

0:06:020:06:04

You see?

0:06:050:06:06

A few wildebeest...a river...

0:06:060:06:10

All is at peace in Tinga Tinga.

0:06:100:06:12

No giants anywhere to be seen.

0:06:120:06:14

Perhaps Majitu doesn't exist after all.

0:06:140:06:18

Told you!

0:06:180:06:19

If you can't see him, he's not real.

0:06:190:06:22

He could be hiding!

0:06:220:06:23

And where could a giant as big as Majitu hide?

0:06:230:06:27

In the great cave!

0:06:270:06:29

Well, let's go and see, shall we?

0:06:290:06:31

-Yes, let's go!

-Do we have to?

0:06:310:06:34

Oh, we're never going to see a giant, are we?

0:06:390:06:42

-That's because they...

-"Don't exist!".

-We know.

0:06:420:06:45

I must admit,

0:06:450:06:47

even I am beginning to have my doubts.

0:06:470:06:49

-Oh!

-Ah!

0:06:490:06:50

-Oh!

-Ah!

0:06:500:06:51

Ahh!

0:06:510:06:53

Calm down, calm down! It's just Bat!

0:06:530:06:56

Phew! That was a bit scary.

0:06:560:06:59

You're telling me! What are you doing?

0:06:590:07:01

Waiting for Majitu the giant!

0:07:010:07:04

Majitu the giant?

0:07:040:07:05

We think he might be in your cave.

0:07:050:07:07

In my cave?

0:07:070:07:08

There is no giant in my cave.

0:07:080:07:11

That's because if you can't see him,

0:07:110:07:14

he doesn't exist.

0:07:140:07:15

Well, thank goodness for that!

0:07:150:07:18

Well, animals?

0:07:180:07:20

We have searched the whole of Tinga Tinga,

0:07:200:07:23

and there is no sign of a giant.

0:07:230:07:25

Tortoise?

0:07:250:07:26

Majitu the giant does not exist.

0:07:260:07:30

I told you!

0:07:300:07:31

Thank you, Tortoise.

0:07:310:07:33

I suggest we all get a good night's sleep.

0:07:330:07:37

-Well, I might have got a little carried away.

-Giants! Hee-hee-hee.

0:07:390:07:44

Well, I'm glad Majitu doesn't exist.

0:07:440:07:47

-Me too.

-Me three!

-Me four.

0:07:470:07:49

Ha-ha-ha! Now, which way is it back to my nest?

0:07:490:07:53

Bushbaby, do you want us to take you home?

0:07:530:07:56

No, thank you!

0:07:560:07:57

Well, be careful of Majitu then! Woo!

0:07:570:08:00

THEY LAUGH.

0:08:000:08:03

I told you, giants don't exist! Ha-ha-ha.

0:08:030:08:07

Hm, now, I'm sure it was this way.

0:08:100:08:15

Hm, or was it that way?

0:08:150:08:18

Wha...? What was that?!

0:08:220:08:26

Looked like some very big feet.

0:08:270:08:30

Hee-hee, don't be silly! It's my tiny eyes playing tricks.

0:08:300:08:35

Now, I'm sure it's this way.

0:08:350:08:39

Yes, this way.

0:08:390:08:41

Hm?

0:08:480:08:49

Is that Majitu the giant?!

0:08:490:08:53

No, no, no, no!

0:08:530:08:54

You're just seeing things.

0:08:540:08:57

Giants don't exist!

0:08:570:08:58

Ha, giants don't exist,

0:08:580:09:02

giants don't exist...

0:09:020:09:04

..giants don't exist,

0:09:040:09:07

giants don't exist.

0:09:070:09:10

Ah! That's Majitu!

0:09:100:09:12

I thought you said giants didn't exist!

0:09:120:09:16

They don't.

0:09:160:09:17

Giants don't exist at all!

0:09:170:09:19

SLURP!

0:09:190:09:20

Huh?

0:09:210:09:22

HE SMACKS HIS LIPS

0:09:270:09:29

Huh! Majitu!

0:09:310:09:33

I see him. I see Majitu!

0:09:330:09:37

SLURP!

0:09:370:09:38

Oh! Ho-ho-ho-ho!

0:09:420:09:44

Hello! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Giants DO exist!

0:09:460:09:50

Majitu the giant DOES exist!

0:09:500:09:54

-Hee-hee-hee.

-Bye bye!

0:09:540:09:56

-Bye, Majitu!

-Ho-ho-ho-ho.

0:09:560:09:59

Bye-bye, Majitu! Ha-ha-ha.

0:09:590:10:02

Everybody, everybody -

0:10:020:10:04

I've seen Majitu the giant!

0:10:040:10:07

I saw Majitu!

0:10:070:10:09

I saw him with my very own eyes!

0:10:090:10:12

Don't be silly, Bushbaby! Ha!

0:10:130:10:16

-Your eyes do look big enough to have seen a giant.

-Yes, they do.

0:10:160:10:20

That's because I saw Majitu! He was very, very big, and very nice, too.

0:10:200:10:26

-And that is why Bushbaby has big eyes!

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:10:260:10:30

From the day she saw Majitu the giant,

0:10:300:10:33

her eyes became as big as planets.

0:10:330:10:36

He had these big, big feet! Ha-ha.

0:10:360:10:39

That's enough, Bushbaby.

0:10:390:10:41

If you don't believe me, ask Bat.

0:10:410:10:43

Bat saw him too.

0:10:430:10:45

Did you see the giant?

0:10:450:10:46

-Yes, he was the size of a mountain!

-Hm-mm.

0:10:460:10:50

-See, I told you!

-Too scared!

-Ha-ha!

0:10:500:10:54

And Bat in his cave?

0:10:540:10:57

Well, that's a whole other story! Ha-ha-ha!
