-I'll tell you why...

0:00:550:00:59

Why ants work together.

0:00:590:01:02

But there was a time when ants didn't work together.

0:01:070:01:12

There were so many of them, and they were so tiny,

0:01:120:01:16

-that it was a big problem.

-What are they doing?

0:01:160:01:19

-I don't know.

-They're falling over and bumping into each other.

0:01:190:01:24

-Look!

-We are trying to build a home.

-I think they're playing.

0:01:240:01:29

We are not playing! We're building a home.

0:01:290:01:33

-We can't hear you.

-We are working!

0:01:330:01:35

-What are they saying?

-I don't know.

0:01:350:01:38

Permission to speak, chief?

0:01:380:01:40

Yes, lieutenant?

0:01:400:01:41

-I don't think the monkeys can hear you.

-I got that. Thank you.

0:01:410:01:45

Maybe the other animals will know what they're doing.

0:01:450:01:49

-Let's find out.

-Unbelievable!

0:01:490:01:51

Er, chief, while I've got you,

0:01:510:01:54

all the ants are very tired and we don't seem to be getting...

0:01:540:01:58

very far with the building.

0:01:580:02:01

Do you think maybe we need some help?

0:02:010:02:05

Hard work, that's all it takes, lieutenant. Hard work!

0:02:050:02:08

-But chief...

-Lieutenant. In this world,

0:02:080:02:11

it is every ant for himself.

0:02:110:02:14

-But chief...

-Now, ants! Gather round.

0:02:140:02:18

We have a home to build.

0:02:180:02:20

-What do we have?

-ALL: A home to build!

0:02:200:02:23

-And what builds homes?

-ALL: Hard work!

0:02:230:02:26

Now, it's a tough world in Tinga Tinga.

0:02:260:02:29

So it's every ant for himself!

0:02:290:02:33

-To work!

-ALL: To work!

0:02:330:02:35

-Look, look.

-Ooh!

0:02:360:02:39

Ants. Look at that!

0:02:390:02:41

-What are they doing?

-They're trying to build a home, monkey.

0:02:410:02:45

-Why?

-Every beast needs a home. Birds have nests,

0:02:450:02:48

-lions have caves, monkeys...

-Have trees!

0:02:480:02:52

-And Tortoise has a shell.

-THEY CHUCKLE

0:02:520:02:55

Quite so. But the poor little ants have nowhere to call their own.

0:02:550:02:59

Lion, can't we help the ants?

0:02:590:03:01

No, leave them be, it's nature's way.

0:03:010:03:04

But they're not even strong enough to lift up a leaf.

0:03:040:03:08

It's making me tired just looking at them.

0:03:080:03:12

I need to sit down.

0:03:120:03:14

-No! No!

-Run!

0:03:140:03:16

-Oh, hippo, no!

-The ants are running away!

0:03:160:03:20

Can't we help them?

0:03:200:03:21

Yes, can't we help?

0:03:210:03:23

Oh...I think I'm going to sneeze.

0:03:230:03:26

I think it's going to be a big one...

0:03:260:03:29

-Ah...ah...

-Run!

-Ants, scatter!

0:03:290:03:32

Quick, monkeys! Hold Elephant's trunk!

0:03:320:03:35

Take your mind off it. Try and think of something.

0:03:350:03:38

Oh, yes, I've got it.

0:03:380:03:40

ATCHOO-O-O-O-O!

0:03:400:03:42

Don't worry, ants! Don't worry!

0:03:420:03:45

Excuse me.

0:03:470:03:48

What were you thinking about, Elephant?

0:03:480:03:50

Sneezing.

0:03:500:03:52

You were supposed to think about anything BUT sneezing!

0:03:520:03:56

Sorry. Big head, see?

0:03:560:03:58

Tiny brain!

0:03:580:04:00

Right, right. Everyone here?

0:04:050:04:09

-ALL: Yes.

-Good. Good!

0:04:090:04:10

This seems like the perfect place for our home.

0:04:100:04:14

-Right here.

-But, chief, I think we need help.

0:04:140:04:19

No, no, no. No help!

0:04:190:04:21

Ostrich! I'm going to get you!

0:04:210:04:23

You'll never get me-e-e-e!

0:04:230:04:25

Ants! Scatter!

0:04:250:04:27

-Oh, yes, I will, Ostrich.

-Ants! Scatter!

0:04:270:04:30

-Scatter!

-I'm going to lick you...

0:04:300:04:33

You'll never get me.

0:04:340:04:35

Ha-ha-ha! Oh, yes, I will.

0:04:350:04:39

Chief, let's go underground, quickly.

0:04:420:04:45

Perfect! Underground, ants!

0:04:450:04:48

Underground.

0:04:480:04:49

-Oooh.

-Hmm.

0:04:550:04:56

Now, this is the perfect place for our home!

0:04:560:05:00

Right here! Underground.

0:05:000:05:04

Jambo, ants!

0:05:040:05:07

-Ahh!

-Ah! Ostrich! Scatter!

0:05:070:05:09

Hiding from Hyena.

0:05:090:05:10

Ants? Ants? Anything I can do to help?

0:05:100:05:14

Now, where did Ostrich go?

0:05:150:05:18

Hmm. Ostrich? Ostrich!

0:05:180:05:20

Ahh. Hee-hee.

0:05:200:05:23

But, chief, don't you think that with a little help

0:05:290:05:32

-we could build...

-No, no, no! No help.

0:05:320:05:35

Oh, yes. There's a branch.

0:05:350:05:38

Perfect.

0:05:380:05:39

But, sir, maybe the animals could lend us a hand.

0:05:410:05:44

No, no and no!

0:05:440:05:46

Ahh!

0:05:460:05:47

-Got it.

-Ahhh!

0:05:470:05:49

-Ahhh!

-Don't worry, chief.

0:05:490:05:51

I'm here.

0:05:510:05:53

I've got you.

0:05:530:05:54

-Wh-o-o-a-a-a!

-Ah-h-h-h!

0:05:570:06:00

-What is happening?

-I think Eagle wants the twig for her nest.

0:06:010:06:06

All the way up there?

0:06:060:06:07

I'm afraid so, sir.

0:06:070:06:09

There. Better get some more.

0:06:110:06:15

Hey! Hey, Eagle! Eagle!

0:06:150:06:17

You can't leave us up here!

0:06:170:06:19

Oh, what's the point?

0:06:190:06:21

No beast can see us or hear us.

0:06:210:06:23

All they do is squash us!

0:06:230:06:26

Or leave us up in trees.

0:06:260:06:28

HE SOBS

0:06:280:06:31

Ants! Ants! Yoo-hoo!

0:06:310:06:35

Up here! We're up here!

0:06:350:06:38

Oh, leave it, lieutenant. We might as well give up.

0:06:380:06:41

Give up? No, no, no!

0:06:410:06:43

We have to have hope.

0:06:430:06:45

Oh! Wait!

0:06:450:06:47

Chief! Chief!

0:06:470:06:49

I think I've found it - the perfect place for a home.

0:06:490:06:52

Over there!

0:06:520:06:53

Perfect place? Ha. There's no such thing.

0:06:530:06:57

There is. Look!

0:06:570:06:59

An island in the middle of the water hole!

0:06:590:07:02

We'll be protected, and able to see all the animals for miles.

0:07:020:07:07

But we're stuck up a very tall tree!

0:07:070:07:09

It's hopeless.

0:07:090:07:11

No, it's not. But we have to work pamoja.

0:07:110:07:15

-Hmm? Pamoja?

-Yes, pamoja.

0:07:150:07:17

-Together.

-I have heard enough.

0:07:170:07:20

No! If we help each other, we can get down this tree.

0:07:200:07:25

And if we can do that,

0:07:250:07:27

then we can all build a home pamoja - together.

0:07:270:07:31

And that's what we need to do.

0:07:310:07:34

Come on! I'll hold your arms and you climb down.

0:07:340:07:38

Then you hold my legs and I'll climb down.

0:07:380:07:41

If we help each other, then we can make it -

0:07:410:07:44

pamoja! Together.

0:07:440:07:46

You are quite a remarkable ant.

0:07:460:07:49

-Pamoja.

-Together.

0:07:490:07:51

# If we both work together

0:07:510:07:54

# Together you will see

0:07:540:07:56

# You and me, together

0:07:560:07:58

# At the bottom of the tree

0:07:580:08:00

# If we both work together

0:08:000:08:02

# Together, me and you

0:08:020:08:05

# Together is pamoja!

0:08:050:08:07

# There's nothing we can't do! #

0:08:070:08:09

CHEERING

0:08:090:08:13

Ants! Ants! Quiet.

0:08:130:08:16

Meet lieutenant!

0:08:160:08:18

A clever little ant.

0:08:180:08:20

An ant who has shown me that together we can do anything!

0:08:200:08:23

Together, we can lift a leaf!

0:08:230:08:26

ALL: Together, we can lift a leaf!

0:08:260:08:29

Together, we can drag a twig!

0:08:290:08:32

ALL: Together, we can drag a twig!

0:08:320:08:36

BOTH: Together, we can build a home.

0:08:360:08:39

-Together!

-Together!

-Pamoja!

-Pamoja!

-Together!

-Together!

-Pamoja!

-Pamoja!

0:08:390:08:45

Together! Pamoja! Together!

0:08:450:08:47

-Ready for work?

-Yes, chief!

0:08:470:08:50

Well done, lieutenant.

0:08:500:08:53

# Together, you will see... #

0:08:530:08:56

THE ANIMALS CHUCKLE

0:08:580:09:00

Look, singing twigs!

0:09:000:09:02

They are not singing twigs, Elephant.

0:09:020:09:05

They are singing ants!

0:09:050:09:07

-Wow.

-Jambo, Elephant!

0:09:070:09:08

Sorry about the sneeze.

0:09:080:09:10

No worries, Elephant! No worries.

0:09:100:09:13

Working together. Now, that's more like it!

0:09:130:09:18

It is nature's way.

0:09:180:09:20

Come on, let's follow them.

0:09:200:09:22

# ..All of us, together

0:09:240:09:26

# One tree, one bridge... #

0:09:300:09:32

Wow! Look at those ants!

0:09:320:09:38

Remarkable.

0:09:380:09:40

# If we all work together... #

0:09:400:09:43

Let's go. Come on! That's it!

0:09:430:09:46

# ..Together is pamoja

0:09:460:09:47

# There's nothing can't be done... #

0:09:470:09:50

This way, ants!

0:09:500:09:51

# ..Together, we will see

0:09:510:09:54

# All of us together

0:09:540:09:57

# If we all work together

0:09:570:10:00

# Never standing still

0:10:000:10:02

# We'll have our home together

0:10:020:10:05

# We'll have our home

0:10:050:10:08

# Anthill, we'll have our own

0:10:080:10:13

-# Anthill, we'll have our own... #

-What is that?

0:10:130:10:17

An anthill, monkeys.

0:10:170:10:19

The ants have built their very own anthill.

0:10:190:10:22

Their very own home.

0:10:220:10:24

Hey-hey! Our very own anthill!

0:10:240:10:28

And we have the shade of our very own tree.

0:10:280:10:31

ALL: Pamoja! Together!

0:10:310:10:34

That is why ants work together!

0:10:340:10:37

From that day on,

0:10:370:10:39

they learnt that together they can do anything!

0:10:390:10:42

Pamoja - together.

0:10:420:10:44

ANTS: Pamoja - together!

0:10:440:10:46

Funny looking tree, though.

0:10:460:10:49

-Jambo, everyone.

-Ostrich!

-Ostrich!

0:10:490:10:51

You haven't seen Hyena, have you?

0:10:510:10:55

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

0:10:550:11:00

-# Beneath the Tinga sky... #

-Whoo!
