happen now with the monster?

- Run, everybody!

- It's the monster!

It's too late now.

- It's coming!

- I know what you're

thinking, Koo.

It's a bad idea.

- I'm sorry, Kee.

I have to see it.

I have to see the monster.

(dramatic music)

- Don't go, please!

(machine rumbling)

(machine rumbling)

(wood crackling)

Koo, watch out!

Don't eat me, don't eat me!

(screaming)

(birds tweeting)

(gentle music)

(groaning)

- Ouch.

- Stay away from the monster.

- Avartai.

Avartai.

Where are you going, Avartai?

(machine creaking)

- [Raphael] We cleared 20 acres.

We can send five barges

back full of logs.

We may need some parts

for the machines.

- [Daleone] He brought

that kid again.

- [Dad] How are you, Raphael?

- [Raphael] We're

doing great, sir.

Did you come to check

how work is going?

- [Dad] Yeah.

- [Daleone] What's left on

the hill is useless wood.

- [Tommy] Captain

Super Techno, attack!

- [Dad] Let's clear the area.

- [Daleone] We can do it now.

Raphael, set the fire.

It won't take long.

This place--

- Wow.

Captain Super Techno!

- [Man] Mr. Daleone, the

jaguar's getting close!

- [Daleone] What?

- [Man] Somebody spotted

it around the camp.

- [Daleone] Darn animal.

He's not gonna get

away this time.

Bring my rifle.

- [Man] Yes, sir.

Right away.

- Dad!

- [Dad] Relax, Tommy.

Everything's okay,

just stay in the truck.

Stay calm, Tommy.

Everything will be fine.

- Oh, they have a little one.

- They're going to

burn it all down.

- Seems like the monster

is afraid of you, Avartai.

- Go away, silly bird.

This isn't about you.

- Why don't you get a

little closer, Avartai?

Maybe you'll drive them away.

- Ah, be quiet, you

troublesome bird.

- After all, you're

so big and brave.

Here, here!

Here's the jaguar!

- Traitor.

- Here!

- [Man] There, Mr. Daleone.

- Here, here's the jaguar!

- Ah, another

trophy for my wall.

(gunshot)

- Avartai!

- [Man] You got him.

- [Daleone] Yeah, don't think

that will kill him, though.

Well done, Pedro.

Here's your prize.

- Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

This cookie is stale.

- Avartai, are you hurt?

(melancholy music)

Wait, where are you going?

Ahh!

(mysterious whispering)

- Now you see that I was right.

- He's just a little bruised.

He'll be fine.

- We must let him rest.

What was his name?

- Yaguarete, jaguar.

That's how they

used to call him.

- I think he looks like

a sabertooth tiger.

- Oh no, this one has spots

and no protruding canines.

He's not a sabertooth tiger.

- Shh, look, he's waking up.

- I, I...

I wanted to stop them.

- I know, my friend.

But the monster is very cunning.

- If I could go back to

Earth for just one day...

(growling)

- Go back to Earth?

What does that mean,

go back to Earth?

- Don't worry about me.

I'm not extinct yet.

- But it won't take long,

as with all of us

from the rainforest.

- Excuse me?

- What, the rats have

gone extinct, too?

(laughing)

You're a goofy one, coati.

(laughing)

- I heard what you were saying.

- Coati, you don't

belong to this world.

- Not for now.

Speak up.

What do you want?

- Are you all--

- Extinct.

- I, I don't want that

to happen to the coati.

- You'd better get ready.

The monster will destroy

your rainforest, coati.

It's just a matter of time.

Nobody would've guessed it

Nobody could have suspected

In what danger

Is your jungle

Nobody would've guessed it

Nobody could have suspected

- Oh no, not that song again.

- Can you hear me?

Can you hear me down there?

- Yes.

He loves to show off.

- Showtime!

Lights.

It'll be the end

of the rainforest

Nobody can fight back

And you all will be

Extinct

It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter

Of time

- It's unavoidable.

You can't fight

back the monster.

In a short time,

coatis, parrots--

- Caimans and otters, even

the strongest of animals.

They will all be extinct

because of the monster.

- Besides, who could

ever face the monster?

- Um...

Well, maybe...

I could?

- What, you?

- Well...

Avartai the jaguar

couldn't do it.

You guys are extinct.

- The coati is right.

There's nothing we

can do from here.

Besides, he was the only animal

who had the courage to

face the monster with me.

- So he's already

faced the monster?

- Oh no, that

changes everything.

- You're brave, young one.

- Do you really think

you can stop the monster?

- Yes, sir.

I feel fate brought me here.

This must be what I have to do.

- Well said, Koo.

- What do you think?

- Well, Koo.

First off, you must return

to where you came from.

- Great.

Uh, which way is that?

(laughing)

Are you really sure

this will work?

- Do you doubt me?

- Just that it looks

a little scary to me.

- You must trust

me, little coati.

Tell me, how did you

get to our world anyway?

- Through a hole in the ground.

- And now you will

go back the same way.

- How?

- Make way.

(yelling)

(laughing)

That might've hurt.

(yelling)

(sputtering)

- Yeah, that hurt.

It hurt just a little bit.

A little bit of a lot.

What have they done?

(thunder rolling)

- Keep up with me.

One, two, three.

Flap those wings,

kick up those legs.

One, two, three.

Olay!

- Let's go.

We gotta get our

flying gear in shape.

- One, two, three.

One, two three.

- What are you all doing?

- It's the little coati.

Where have you been?

Don't you know anything?

- We're keeping in shape.

- Yeah, just in case.

We gotta get our

flying gear in shape.

- Oh yeah?

So you know we're all in danger.

We gotta do something.

We gotta stop the monster.

- Ahh!

- You must help me

protect the jungle.

- Did you say we?

(giggling)

- Why are you laughing?

I'm being serious.

Fine.

I'll find help somewhere else.

- I think we'll

find good wood here.

- You must help me protect

the jungle, Mr. Caiman.

You know we're all in danger.

- Don't waste your time.

- Leave him be, dear.

He just doesn't know how

powerful the monster is.

- [Koo] You think you

can survive on your own?

- Of course.

That's why we're so busy.

- Mom, I found a good log.

- [Mom] Hmm, I'm sure

it'll be useful, dear.

- Yeah, I think so.

- [Mom] Let's take

it to the river.

- Right away.

- While others are leaving,

we decided to defend ourselves.

- But how?

- We're getting

ready for battle.

(bright inspirational music)

- What is it?

- We're building a

monster defense machine,

a real jewel of

technological warfare.

(shrieking)

- Ow.

- Unfortunately, the heron

has not gotten the

hang of it yet.

- Watch, Jacquarai,

this is how you do it.

- We start building this

machine with other caimans

a long time ago,

trying to stop the monster.

- The monster goes

down the river, too?

- Yes!

Yes, it's almost unstoppable.

It destroyed our defense

machine many times.

A long time ago, it attacked

us with all of its might.

That's when an old

catfish friend of mine

told us of a secret weapon

he found at the

bottom of the river,

a torpedo that would
