This is embarrassing.

- He faced two ferocious

dogs all by himself.

- They were just puppies.

- Don't play humble, Koo.

They very voracious.

- No, no they weren't.

- Mean and scary.

- Well, maybe a little.

- Enough!

Listen, little coati.

I know you want to

stop the monster

and I'm here to help you.

- You are? Really?

- Yes.

We must band together if we

want to stop the destruction.

- Hmm, but how?

- I came here to train you,

train you to defeat the monster.

- Train me?

Ha, I don't need to be trained.

- You don't need it?

Don't make me laugh.

(chuckling)

Let's go.

- Okay, well maybe.

(machine rumbling)

(dramatic electronic music)

- You won't beat me.

I'm the strongest

superhero of them all.

"Oh no, help me, help me!"

I'm coming.

I will help you.

Oh, Mr. Daleone.

- Does this look like an

amusement park to you?

- No, sir.

I was just playing.

- I don't understand why your

father brought you along.

- There was nobody

to take care of me.

I promise you, I'm not bored.

I even have a new friend.

- You have an

imaginary friend, huh?

- No, it's not imaginary.

It's a little animal

from the rainforest.

This small.

It looks like a squirrel

with a long tail.

- A coati?

- A coati?

- You made friends

with a jungle rat, kid.

Those critters are like

pigeons in a city, a plague.

Friends with a jungle rat.

(chuckling)

(gentle melancholy music)

- Wow, a coati.

- Strength must be

paired with intelligence.

- Let's go, little bug.

- Did you just call me a bug?

Don't you ever call me a bug!

- Aw, little bug.

I like that.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- En garde!

I was just sitting

up here in my tree

In my tree, in my tree

I saw a beautiful face

was looking up at me

Up at me, up at me

She had a cute smile

so I asked her name

Asked her name, asked her name

Then we got to talking,

said she felt the same

Said she felt the

same, felt the same

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

Now she's (mumbling)

She wants to be, wants to be

She's cooking us a

chicken with a jug of tea

A jug of tea, a jug of tea

I'm thankful for the

day she knocked on my door

I never thought I'd fall

for the girl next door

I never thought I'd

fall for the girl next

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

(upbeat oldies music)

I never thought I'd fall

for the girl next door

I never thought I'd fall

for the girl next door

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

Every time I see her

I'm gonna do my thing

(upbeat oldies music)

- You'll attack

today, at nightfall.

(dogs panting)

- We must be ready tonight.

Nothing can sneak by us.

(growling)

- Okay, okay.

- Hmm.

It's sleeping.

(playful sneaky music)

(playful ominous music)

- Wow, you're a coati,

just like Mr. Daleone said.

Ha, you got the tickles, too.

Come on, get up.

Don't be afraid.

I'm Tommy.

And you?

We better go.

My dad doesn't want

me to come in here.

Hey, what are you doing?

Aw, don't be scared,

little coati.

It's just a machine.

They use it to cut down

trees, but it's off now.

Don't be scared, it's harmless.

Relax.

Come on, come on, little coati.

Come up here, let me show you.

See?

This is the wheel,

this is a lever.

Hmm, not sure what this is for.

I think this is for the shovel.

I think this button

starts the motor.

(machine humming)

Oh no, I can't believe

I just did that.

How do I switch it off?

- What's going on in here?

- What's happening?

What's happening?

(growling)

- Good luck, buddy.

I'm out of here.

- [Dog] What's happening?

- My dad is gonna kill me.

Jump!

Jump!

(machine humming)

(playful music)

I don't, I don't know.

(sighing)

- [Daleone] I told you this

wasn't a place for children,

but you ignored me.

- [Dad] Of course I

listened, Mr. Daleone.

It's just...

I couldn't leave my

son back in the city.

I couldn't leave him alone.

- [Daleone] You could've

sent him to a friend.

- [Dad] Tommy has trouble

adjusting to new environments.

- [Daleone] A

mischievous little boy,

and you bring him

him, on my property.

Are you aware of the

disaster he caused?

- [Dad] He's a

child, Mr. Daleone.

He didn't mean it.

- [Daleone] This is a business.

And if your son can't behave

appropriately, he's out.

We can't afford any mishaps.

We're already behind schedule.

- Hmm, I don't like

that look, Kee.

- Are you gonna tell

me what happened?

- I know how to destroy

the monster, Kee.

- You do?

How would you do that, Koo?

- I have a plan.

I know how to defeat

the monster now.

- What is the plan?

- Its reign over

this jungle is over.

You'll see.

You just have to trust me, Kee.

- That's not fair.

Fine, Koo.

I trust you.

- Great.

I knew you would, Kee.

Let's go.

(sighing)

- I hope he knows

what he's doing.

- I got my eye on you, coati.

- [Dad] Tommy?

Tommy?

Are you awake?

- [Game] Do you

want to play again?

Do you want to play again?

Do you want to play again?

Do you want to play again?

Do you want to play again?

Do you want to play again?

(sighing)

- [Dad] I should spend

more time with him.

Oh boy, when was the

last time I built a kite?

How did it go?

Let me see.

Okay, first the

frame, very tight.

There, not bad.

Not bad at all.

- [Tommy] Whoa Dad, a kite.

- [Dad] Your grandpa

taught me how to fly them.

He knew all the secrets.

Watch.

You have to pay

attention to the wind.

The wind is blowing

from that direction,

so we'll pull to the other side.

See how it's done?

- Yes, yes, yes.

It's super cool, Dad.

Can I try?

- [Dad] When I was your

age, I was an expert.

Watch this.

That was pretty good, wasn't it?

Here.

(phone ringing)

But remember, hold

it very tight.

Here you go.

- [Tommy] Great.

Thanks, Dad.

- [Dad] Hello?

Yes.

- Come on.

Come on.

Come on, come this way.

Hey, what are you doing here?

No, no, no, no, no.

Not that way.

Oh, oh wait.

Oh no.

I lost the kite my dad made me.

It flew into the jungle.

Oh no.

(gentle piano music)

What are you trying to tell me?

- Come.

Come with me.

I wanna show you my world.

Come on.

- I'm coming, little coati.

Wait for me.

(inspirational orchestral music)

- Don't worry.

Oh, Kee.

He's just making new friends.

- [Kee] I don't care.

He doesn't understand

anything, anyway.

(inspirational orchestral music)

- You don't like it?

It's called cereal.

That's a bowl of

milk and cereal.

(motor humming)

I'll be right back.

Don't move.

- Ooh, yum.

Cereal?

It's delicious.

- Is it?

- Oh yes.

Go ahead, try it.

- I don't know if I should.

- Of course you should.

It's delicious, alright.

Try some.

- [Dad] How could you

disobey my orders?

- Dad.

- [Man] Mr. Sebastian...

But Mr. Daleone said--

- [Dad] You have to

follow my orders.

- Dad, Dad!

- Not now, Tommy, not now.

- It's just that--

- Tommy.

Wait for me in the truck.
