- Hello?

Hello, can anybody hear me?

This sure is a wild jungle.

I think I'm lost.

Hello, anybody out there?

- Well, well, well, a giraffe?

You must not be

from around here.

- Oh no, I'm from the zoo.

- The zoo?

What on Earth is that?

- That's where my

friends and family live.

- I see.

And what are you doing here?

- I was on my way to a

giraffe rehabilitation center

when the plane

took a wrong turn.

Where am I?

- You, my dear visitor,

have entered the magnificent

and mysterious Jungle

of the Animal Warriors.

- The Jungle of the

Animal Warriors?

Whoa, sounds like

an incredible place.

- The Jungle of

the Animal Warriors

is an incredible place.

- Why is that?

- This is where

many, many years ago

the jungle animals took a stand

against the invading

forces of the monster.

- The monster?

- Yes.

Don't you know

anything about it?

- No, I don't.

- Well, it's an

adventure for the ages.

- Whoa, what happened?

- Ah, it's an incredible story,

wrought with mystery

and adventure.

- You've got to

tell me about it.

- Well, my dear giraffe, if

you really want to know--

- I do, I do!

- It was just another day,

a day that would forever

change the destiny

of all of us jungle animals.

(bright tropical music)

(shrieking)

- Look at what I'm wearing!

- I'm wearing coral snake.

(bright tropical music)

- Cool, do they come in green?

(snake gasping)

- Ouch, ouch.

Koo, finally, there you are.

- Yeah, what are you doing?

- Happy birthday, Koo.

- Oh, I'm glad

somebody remembered.

- Of course I did.

That's because I, I...

- What?

- Nothing.

- I don't know what's

going on around here,

but there's less and

less food by the day,

and most definitely less trees.

- Don't worry about it now.

Come with me.

- Where?

- To, to take a walk.

- No, I can't right now.

- Too bad, Koo, because

there's a place.

- What place?

- No, it's okay if you're busy.

- No, no, please tell me.

Please, please, please!

- It's just that there's

a place that is...

Full of all kinds of fruits.

- All kind of fruit?

- Yes, tons.

- Really?

- You can't imagine.

But if you don't wanna come--

- No, no, I wanna go.

Wait for me, Kee.

I want to go.

- Hey, Koo.

What are you doing?

- Hello, Jacquarai.

- Hello, Koo, happy birthday.

- Thanks.

You remembered, too.

- Yes, and I'm sorry

I can't go to your--

- Shh.

Shh.

- You can't go where?

- Uh, to, to hang out with you.

We're so busy here with

all that's going on.

- What are you talking about?

- I'm talking about the monster.

There's no more trees.

There's no fruit,

and the river--

- The monster?

- What monster?

- Who is this monster?

- I don't know, but I'll tell

you guys I'm pretty scared.

- Oh yeah?

Not me.

I'm not afraid of any monster.

I can do this.

(laughing)

- What are you doing?

- He's playing dead.

See? Look.

- Enough, Kee.

You're tickling me.

(laughing)

But seriously, Jacquarai.

What monster are

you talking about?

- The monster that

comes from the--

- Jacquarai, sweetheart.

- My mom and dad

are planning to--

(clearing throat)

- What did we tell you

about talking to strangers?

- They're not strangers, Dad.

This is my friend Koo.

- All the same.

You shouldn't talk

about our family plans.

- It wasn't his fault.

I was just asking him--

- There's nothing to ask.

- Come on, little one, let's go.

We must keep swimming.

While you spend your

time goofing around,

we are keeping busy.

Let's go.

- Busy doing what?

- Solving problems.

- And avoiding even bigger ones.

- Like being made

into purses and shoes.

- Well, if you tell

me what's going on,

maybe I could help.

- No, Koo, come on.

We need to find more food.

Why would we help them anyway?

They're caimans.

- We can still be friends.

(clearing throat)

- Let's go.

We don't have much time.

- Jacquarai!

- What?

- I'll always be your friend.

- I'll see you later, Koo.

- What monster were

they talking about?

- I don't know, and

it doesn't matter.

Let's go.

(birds laughing)

- Oh, a surprise party.

You must all help.

- You go that way.

You go that way.

You go that way.

You, come here.

You, hide there.

You, sit here.

You, stay here.

Stop moving.

You're making me nervous.

(sniffing)

- Let's hurry, Danny.

I don't wanna be late.

- We're not late, Mom.

- Look at all these flowers.

I should pick some.

- Hurry up, he's coming.

(giggling)

- [Koo] Why in

such a hurry, Kee?

- You'll see.

Here we are.

You like it?

- Like what?

There's nothing here.

What is it?

- I've prepared

this for you, Koo.

Listen.

(clearing throat)

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Koo

Happy birthday--

- Let's start this

flamingo dance, shall we?

(upbeat music)

- That's not fair.

- Thank you, Kee.

(chuckling)

- Listen up, Koo.

You're all grown up now.

You should take

things more seriously.

- Me? Why should I?

(chuckling)

- There's a moment in life

when responsibilities change.

- Oh yeah?

What responsibilities?

- What about fall in

love, date, get married?

(chuckling)

- All that'll come in due time.

First, you need to learn

responsibility, boy.

- Let's dance!

Let's dance!

(snakes hissing)

- Hey, you made socks

out of our skin.

Attack!

Attack!

Give us our skins back.

- Friends, don't

fight each other.

Your only enemy is the jaguar.

That's why he wasn't invited.

Do you see him anywhere?

No, he wasn't invited.

Why do you pull such faces?

The jaguar is our worst enemy.

He wants to eat us all, yeah.

Especially the

little ones, yeah.

Hey, don't you worry about him.

Yeah.

I'm not afraid to

tell him what I think,

the moment, uh-oh.

(laughing)

- Mm, gather around,

and don't be afraid.

I'm not hunting today.

I came to tell you

we are all in danger.

- Careful, Koo.

He may get you.

- Why do you say we're

in danger, Avartai?

- You know my name?

- Yes, of course.

There's just so few of you left.

- Mm, that's true.

So few of us jaguars.

And it'll happen to all of you

when the monster finally

destroys the rainforest.

- The monster?

- I lost all my

brothers to the monster,

but also comes for the trees.

And without trees,

there will be no shade.

And without shade,

there will be no water.

- Without water--

- Do you see now?

- That's why there's less fruit,

because there's less water.

- My pond is drying up, too.

- See?

That's what I mean.

- My friend Jacquarai

mentioned the monster, too.

- Ah, the caimans lost

so many friends, too.

All turned into bags and shoes.

They made the mistake

of fighting alone

against the monster.

We must band together if we

want to stop the destruction!

- I don't trust the jaguar,

and neither should you.

You, neither!

Yeah, the monster gave

me cookies and treats.
