will be wiped from the face of the Earth.

But that is a cold comfort to us now,

for every one of you will perish

if you don't defend yourselves

against humanity.

My dear, you spoke wisely

and with great care.

Well, that's because

they were your thoughts that l spoke.

What you spoke was greater

than every thought.

And still all meaningless,

compared to my many years with you,

our years together.

It's been wonderful.

Good. So good...

(WINSTON) Winnie?

Winnie?

(BlRDS CHlRPING)

(CHARLES) Winston and Winifred

have gone to sleep for the last time.

But they live on

in all our dreams and in our hearts.

- (The tortoises have passed away.)

- (GlSELLE GASPS)

(SNIFFS)

(The tortoises have died.)

(lNDISTINCT WHISPER)

(lNAUDlBLE)

(TRUMPETS)

The day 'as come.

Madame,

we are waiting on your command.

But shouldn't we consult the oracle first?

I don't think so, dear.

Been there, done that.

- So, to battle!

- And down with the beast!

(ALL) And down with the beast!

Allons! Et vive la libert!

(GRUNTING)

Well! The least they could have done

is consult the oracle.

I get no respect!

What happened to tradition?

It's a disgrace!

Did you hear what l heard?

We've all been asking

for advice from that guy?

A hairdresser who talks from both sides

of his mouth at the same time?

A proud army, to be sure, Madame.

It is a true honneur

to be allowed to march with you.

Yes, we're proud,

but are we strong enough?

Remember, the buffalo

and the rhino didn't come along.

The 'eroic courage of our brave soldiers

will make up for them.

(TOBY GRUNTS)

Socrates, hang in there. We're coming!

How about those

who don't have a banana milkshake?

Or a drop of water?

Hey, I can read you like a book.

You wanna make me feel all guilty

so that l'll help you escape.

But you're wasting your time.

I can't do anything.

The big guy with the rifle's

got the key to the cage.

Here l am, confined to a cage,

but yet somehow l remain free.

You are outside,

but you're not really free at all. Are you?

Hmm...?

So...

Duty calls!

Just go. Playing monkey must be fun.

# You put your right foot in

You put your right foot out

# You put your right foot in

And you shake it all about

# You do the hokey-pokey

And you turn yourself around

# That's what it's all about

# (Left foot!)

# You put your left foot in

You put your left foot out

# And you shake it all about

# You do the hokey-pokey

And you turn yourself around

# That's what it's all about #

(CLUCKING)

(GROWLS)

Clearly you are a meat-eater.

One can tell by that, euh,

unpleasant breath.

- And 'ave a little respect!

- (LEOPARD GASPS)

Just look at yourself.

Stand up straight!

Chest out!

And why are you so late?

What kind of discipline

is that for a soldier?

And take your incredibly

filthy paws off my uniform!

To your unit! This year, please...

- Everything all right, my brave hero?

- But of course!

I simply 'ad to reprimand

the cowardly deserter.

Showtime!

Hey!

(TOTO) Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Toto?

(TOTO MOANS)

(GUN COCKING)

(HUNTER LAUGHS EVlLLY)

(WHISTLING)

(GIGGLES)

Oh, damn.

The most worthy of foes,

yes, without question.

Madame, if you'd allow me, then

I strongly suggest we send a message.

Send a message? Hmm...

And if we're not understood?

This message will be unequivocal!

(BUZZlNG)

- (SCREAMING)

- Oh! What's that?

Each conference participant

is leaving in an almost giddy,

light and ecstatic mood.

(SlGHS)

(MAYA) Come on.

(SNIFFS)

(GROWLS)

(ROARS)

Comrades!

We cannot wait any more! Let's go!

It's time for heads to roll!

Giselle, l've never heard you

speak that way before!

- Thank you.

- (TRUMPETS)

And attack!

'Ard. Very 'ard.

This could be tricky.

(DlSTANT TUMULT)

What is that roar?

It's the buffalo.

And the rhinos, too!

(TRUMPETlNG)

What do you know?

Hey, lightweight!

Eh...

See you in hell...carrot top!

(BUBBLING)

(FARTlNG)

(SlGHS WlTH RELIEF)

(DlSTANT ROARlNG)

Socrates! Socrates!

Start your drumming, Billy.

You've got the groove!

I've got the groove!

Uh-huh!

(TRUMPETS)

(ALL MOO RHYTHMlCALLY)

- (CROWS)

- (ALL TRUMPET)

(BOTH BEATBOX)

(RHYTHMIC CHANTING)

Mon Dieu.

Do you see that? That's my dad!

Billy!

Turtle dove!

Billy, the time has come.

Party time!

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSlC:

THE BEACH BOYS' "FUN, FUN, FUN")

# Well, she got her daddy's car

# And she cruised

through the hamburger stand, now

# Seems she forgot all about the library

# Like she told her old man, now

# And with the radio blasting

# Goes cruising

just as fast as she can, now

# And she'll have fun, fun, fun

# Till her daddy takes the T-bird away

(Till her daddy takes the T-bird)

# The girls can't stand her 'cause

she walks, looks and drives like an ace

# (You walk like an ace, now

You walk like an ace)

# She makes the lndy 500 look like

a Roman chariot race, now

# A lot of guys try to catch her

# But she leads them

on a wild goose chase, now...

The hotel is finished. I'm ruined.

- Are you satisfied?

- Yeah.

Look at how happy they are.

(MUSIC CONTlNUES)

# Well, you knew all along that your dad

was getting wise to you, now

# (You shouldn't have lied, now)

# And since he took your set of keys

you've been thinking

# That your fun is all through, now

(You shouldn't have lied) #

Charles, your passion thrills me

more than I can say.

Ah, ma chrie, this is the first step

on the journey of a lifetime.

(DlSTANT SlREN)

(BlRDS SQUAWKlNG)

(WATER SPLASHlNG)

Huh?

(WHALE SONG)

From the 169th Climate Change

Conference here in New York...

- (ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING)

- Huh?

I see that we may entertain

some unexpected visitors.

And it appears that the animals

are finally going

to make us accountable for our actions.

(LAUGHS)

(FARTlNG)

(DlSTANT WHALE SONG)

Well, what do you know?

- G'day, Ken!

- Howdy-ho, jumping buddy!

Pal, help me out.

Where's the conference?

What? The conference of the animals?

Why, it's in America!

America?

I just happen to have a shortcut.

Oh, what a shame.

I could have given him a shave.

# Nobody is gonna stand in our way

# Nobody is gonna hurt us again

# Some say they wanna shoot the game

# But use your brains

We know who's to blame

# Nobody is gonna stand in our way

# Nobody is gonna hurt us again

# Some say they wanna shoot the game

# But use your brains

We know who's to blame

# Let's go towards a new horizon

# A place where we can all be free

# What keeps you all from realising

# We are no part of humanity?

# We could have shared

and would have lived

# Forever and again

# Going there and doing this

# Like when children play

# But we can't let you get away

# With murder, first degree

# This is the planet of the apes

# And, Man, you will see

# Let's go towards a new horizon

# A place where we can all be free

# What keeps you all from realising

# They won't grant us humanity?

# All they wanna do is hate us
