Look at all of my friends!

0:00:540:00:56

I'll tell you why...

0:00:560:01:00

Why Chameleon changes colour.

0:01:010:01:04

Now you see me, now you don't!

0:01:040:01:06

There was a time when Chameleon wasn't bright and colourful.

0:01:080:01:14

Chameleon wasn't colourful at all.

0:01:140:01:18

What shall I do with Tortoise next?

0:01:180:01:21

Flip him? Spin him? Catch him on my back?

0:01:210:01:25

Just put me down, you silly beast!

0:01:250:01:29

I love Tinga Tricks!

0:01:290:01:32

-Would you like to do something, Chameleon?

-Er...

0:01:320:01:36

-No.

-In fact, Chameleon was very grey,

0:01:360:01:40

and a little bit dull.

0:01:400:01:42

-We can do a funny trick, can't we, Tickbird?

-Yes!

0:01:420:01:46

Watch this.

0:01:460:01:48

HE PLAYS A TUNE

0:01:480:01:52

We want more!

0:01:520:01:55

Your turn, Chameleon.

0:01:550:01:58

OK, OK, I'll do something.

0:01:580:01:59

Go ahead, Chameleon, we'd be delighted.

0:01:590:02:03

-Go on, go on.

-OK, here goes.

0:02:030:02:07

Now you see me, now you don't.

0:02:090:02:13

-But your tail is sticking out!

-Shh, Monkey!

0:02:130:02:17

-What do you think?

-Next.

0:02:170:02:21

# Your thigh bone's connected to your backbone

0:02:210:02:26

# Your backbone's connected to your neck bone. #

0:02:260:02:29

And...

0:02:290:02:32

Is this the bit where I come in?

0:02:320:02:35

Sing it again! Sing it again!

0:02:350:02:37

# Your toe bone's connected to your foot bone

0:02:370:02:41

# Your foot bone's connected to your ankle bone

0:02:410:02:44

# Your ankle bone's connected to your shin bone

0:02:440:02:48

# Your shin bone's connected to your knee bone

0:02:480:02:52

# Your knee bone's connected to your thigh bone

0:02:520:02:55

# Your thigh bone's connected to your backbone

0:02:550:02:58

# Your backbone's connected to your neck bone... #

0:02:580:03:02

Chameleon, Chameleon.

0:03:020:03:04

-Chameleon!

-Is this the bit where I come in?

0:03:040:03:08

Never mind, Chameleon.

0:03:080:03:12

Sleep time now.

0:03:120:03:14

Now, let me give you a little polish.

0:03:200:03:24

-Morning, Chameleon!

-Good morning.

0:03:290:03:32

-Morning, Peacock.

-Good morning, Your Majesty.

0:03:320:03:36

My, don't we all look gorgeous today?

0:03:360:03:39

Beautiful, everyone is beautiful.

0:03:390:03:42

Well, not quite everyone.

0:03:420:03:44

Chameleon here is as grey and dreary as a rainy day.

0:03:440:03:49

Oh, Peacock!

0:03:490:03:51

Don't listen to Peacock, Chameleon. You're lovely, and...

0:03:510:03:54

It's all right. I know I'm dull and boring and grey.

0:03:540:04:00

Just like a rainy day.

0:04:020:04:04

Nonsense. You're fine just the way you are.

0:04:040:04:09

Now, more importantly,

0:04:090:04:12

the rains are coming. Time to take shelter!

0:04:120:04:14

Wanyama, animals, follow me!

0:04:140:04:17

OK, let's go.

0:04:170:04:19

-Is the rain ever going to stop?

-It doesn't look like it.

0:04:220:04:26

Let's play a game!

0:04:260:04:28

Oh, no! Not more games!

0:04:280:04:31

How about Tinga Tricks?

0:04:310:04:33

Let's spin Tortoise to see who goes first.

0:04:330:04:36

Very well.

0:04:360:04:38

Tinga Tricks! Tinga Tricks!

0:04:380:04:40

-It's you, Giraffe.

-Giraffe!

0:04:410:04:44

It's you, Giraffe.

0:04:440:04:46

Well, I used to be able to touch my tail with my nose.

0:04:460:04:50

Go on!

0:04:500:04:53

Um... How's that?

0:04:530:04:57

-It's brilliant.

-Very impressive, Giraffe.

0:04:570:05:02

Who is next?

0:05:020:05:04

You're next, Elephant!

0:05:060:05:08

You see this trunk,

0:05:080:05:10

if I take this end and just...

0:05:100:05:13

do this... Ha!

0:05:130:05:16

I can tie my trunk in a knot!

0:05:160:05:19

-Elephant!

-Thank you very much.

0:05:190:05:23

Ooh...

0:05:230:05:26

Oh, no, please not me.

0:05:260:05:28

Better think of something quick, grey thing.

0:05:280:05:32

It might be your go.

0:05:320:05:34

Oh, dear.

0:05:340:05:36

Can somebody help me untie my trunk, please?

0:05:380:05:41

-It seems to be stuck.

-Very funny!

0:05:410:05:44

-Try blowing it.

-That hasn't worked at all.

0:05:440:05:48

LAUGHTER

0:05:480:05:51

# Why do I have to be grey?

0:05:520:05:57

# It's true what they say

0:05:570:05:58

# Like a rainy day

0:05:580:06:01

# I'm grey, just grey

0:06:010:06:03

# Whatever they say

0:06:030:06:06

# There's no getting away

0:06:060:06:08

# From being so grey, so grey So grey

0:06:080:06:13

It's not funny any more!

0:06:150:06:18

We'll help you.

0:06:180:06:21

Where is Chameleon?

0:06:210:06:23

I thought he came to the cave with us.

0:06:230:06:25

He was here a moment ago.

0:06:250:06:27

-Brrrrr!

-Well done, monkeys!

0:06:270:06:31

Has anyone seen Chameleon?

0:06:310:06:34

Oh, I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere.

0:06:340:06:36

That is not good enough.

0:06:360:06:38

No animal should be alone in the rains.

0:06:380:06:41

It's wet out there. Poor Chameleon.

0:06:410:06:44

Come, come, we must find him.

0:06:440:06:46

# It's true what they say

0:06:490:06:52

# Like a rainy day

0:06:520:06:54

# I'm grey, just grey... #

0:06:540:06:57

Oh, jambo, Chameleon!

0:06:570:07:00

Why so glum?

0:07:000:07:02

I'm grey, Butterfly, like a rainy day.

0:07:020:07:05

-Come, come!

-I wish I could stand out,

0:07:050:07:07

like Peacock with his feathers or Giraffe with her long neck.

0:07:070:07:11

And look at you with your beautiful colourful wings!

0:07:110:07:15

I didn't always stand out, you know.

0:07:150:07:18

You didn't?

0:07:180:07:20

Oh, no! I was a dull little caterpillar.

0:07:200:07:24

But pole, pole, slowly, slowly,

0:07:240:07:27

good things come to those who wait.

0:07:270:07:31

SHE GASPS Look!

0:07:320:07:34

A rainbow!

0:07:340:07:37

Is that a rainbow?

0:07:370:07:38

It sure is!

0:07:390:07:41

Have hope, Chameleon. Magical things happen when it rains!

0:07:410:07:47

A rainbow! Wow!

0:07:470:07:49

Right here at my feet!

0:07:490:07:52

I wonder what would happen if I...

0:07:520:07:55

Orange?!

0:07:570:07:58

Did my foot go orange?

0:07:580:08:00

Ooh!

0:08:000:08:02

Ooh! Purple!

0:08:020:08:03

That was definitely purple.

0:08:030:08:06

Look at that!

0:08:060:08:08

I'm not grey any more!

0:08:080:08:10

Woo!

0:08:100:08:11

# I'm bright, bright blue and I'm tangerine

0:08:120:08:16

# I'm yellow as the sun and I've only just begun

0:08:160:08:20

# I'm pink and purple Let's go, man, go

0:08:200:08:24

# A little bit of green and...

0:08:240:08:28

# Rainbow!

0:08:290:08:30

# Just a little bit Just a little bit of rainbow... #

0:08:320:08:35

This is awesome!

0:08:350:08:36

Woo-hoo!

0:08:360:08:38

Flowers!

0:08:380:08:41

Whoa! Now, that rocks!

0:08:410:08:44

What about these trees?!

0:08:440:08:47

# I don't have to be grey like a rainy day

0:08:470:08:51

# All the colours of the sun This is fun, fun, fun... #

0:08:510:08:55

Ha hey!

0:08:550:08:57

-Chameleon!

-Chameleon!

-Where are you?

0:08:570:09:00

Chameleon?

0:09:000:09:01

Jambo, everyone. Looking for Chameleon?

0:09:010:09:04

Yes, we are.

0:09:040:09:05

I think you'll find him over there.

0:09:050:09:07

THEY GASP

0:09:070:09:09

Whoa! A rainbow!

0:09:090:09:11

One of nature's miracles.

0:09:110:09:12

CHAMELEON SHOUTS IN DISTANCE

0:09:120:09:14

Is that Chameleon?

0:09:140:09:16

-Singing?

-And laughing?

0:09:160:09:19

I do believe it is!

0:09:190:09:21

-Come on!

-OK.

0:09:210:09:23

# I don't have to be grey like a rainy day

0:09:240:09:28

# All of the colours of the sun This is fun, fun, fun! #

0:09:280:09:32

-Chameleon?

-Jambo, everyone!

0:09:320:09:35

Check this out!

0:09:350:09:36

# Lilac and fuchsia, avocado I don't have to be grey, look! #

0:09:360:09:43

Rainbow!

0:09:440:09:45

What happened?

0:09:450:09:48

I found this rainbow and I stepped on it like this...

0:09:480:09:52

Boom!

0:09:520:09:53

And this happened!

0:09:530:09:54

Hey hey! Not grey any more, eh?

0:09:540:09:57

Hey! One of nature's miracles.

0:09:570:10:00

That's the best Tinga trick ever!

0:10:000:10:02

Look! Maroon and pink and navy and what about...

0:10:020:10:08

Ha! Lime green!

0:10:080:10:10

That one! Wear the lime green!

0:10:100:10:12

And that's why Chameleon changes colour.

0:10:120:10:15

He soaked up all the colours of the rainbow

0:10:150:10:18

and from that day on, he became the master of colour.

0:10:180:10:22

And violet and lemon and tomato and rose and...

0:10:220:10:27

OK, OK, Chameleon, stop!

0:10:270:10:29

You are making us dizzy.

0:10:290:10:31

Come on! Any colour you want. Take your pick!

0:10:310:10:35

I can do anything!

0:10:350:10:37

Can you do me?

0:10:370:10:39

Hmmm...

0:10:390:10:41

-Ta-da!

-That's it!

0:10:410:10:43

Wow!

0:10:430:10:45

I told you! Magical things happen when it rains.

0:10:450:10:49

Thank you, Butterfly. Asante.

0:10:490:10:53

But how did Butterfly know that?

0:10:530:10:56

Well, that's a whole other story.
