- [Man] He told us to take

the machinery out there.

- He is always busy.

Come, let's go play.

- [Koo] See you later.

- Let's see.

The map points very

clearly to this spot.

- Mr. Daleone, are you sure

Mr. Sebastian approved of this?

- Mr. Sebastian is an

employee, as are you.

- But Mr. Daleone, I--

- Neither you nor Mr.

Sebastian should think.

- [Man] Alright sir,

whatever you say.

(sighing)

- What a beautiful day.

- I just love our jungle, Mom.

- It's the best

place in the world.

Listen to all the

magical sounds.

Can you hear the river?

- Yes, I can hear it.

- I think I hear

the parrots calling

in the mahogany trees.

I can hear the spider monkeys

telling stories to their young.

- Boss?

- What do you want now?

- You're sure we should do this?

- I already told you, yes.

- You think it's going to work?

- I'm counting on it.

(beeping)

(distant exploding)

- Hmm, I don't recognize

that loud rumble.

What kind of animal

could've made that sound?

- It's not an animal.

Run, Mom, run!

- Danny?

Danny!

Where did you go?

Come back!

Danny, come back!

Danny!

Sweetheart, where are you?

Answer me!

Danny!

(fires crackling)

(ominous music)

- Okay, little coati,

let me show you.

This is how you turn it on.

And if you press this button,

you can see what my

dad is working on.

Watch.

- [Announcer] A whole new way

of enjoying the pristine

nature of the jungle.

Experience a new luxury resort,

unmatched by any other

accommodations in the world.

Enjoy sauna, swimming

pool, volleyball,

football, and tennis

courts, and a full casino.

- Oh no, little coati.

I promise you,

my dad will never allow

this to happen to your home.

- [Dad] Tommy, how many

times do I have to tell you

not to play with my computer?

- But Dad, the jungle.

- [Dad] Are you listening to me?

- Yes, Dad, but you're

not listening to me.

- Tommy, I know I'm not

spending enough time with you.

But there's a lot going on,

and I'm trying my

best to make it work.

When this is over,

we'll go back home.

I promise.

- Dad--

- Promise me you'll behave.

- Okay, Dad, I will.

- So it's a promise?

- Yeah, it's a promise.

- Very well.

And I promise

everything will be okay.

- [Tommy] It's a deal.

- [Dad] That's my boy.

(phone ringing)

Yes?

Ah, finally some good news.

Sure, I'm on my way.

- What's going on, Dad?

- I have a present

for you, Tommy,

something you can

take back to the city.

- Koo, Koo, she's missing.

Something is wrong.

We have to find her.

- Calm down, Kee.

Calm down.

Take a deep breath.

Who's missing?

- It's Danny, the baby deer.

She's missing.

We need to find her

before it's too late.

Follow me.

(distant exploding)

- Danny?

- Danny!

- Danny sweetheart,

where are you?

- [Koo] Kee, what happened here?

- The rainforest is burning

all because of those monsters.

- Not all of them are monsters.

I met many who were different.

At least I think it

was me who met them.

Or it was my dad,

I can't remember.

- The turtle is right.

Not all of them are monsters.

My friend Tommy, he's good.

- Ah, he's nothing but a puppy.

Listen, little coati.

And he has no idea

of what's going on.

- He might be just a puppy,

Avartai, but he's good.

- A puppy that will grow

into a man, a monster.

- Tommy is not a monster.

I know he'll help

keep the jungle safe.

- Hello there.

Are you looking for

a lost little deer?

- Yes, my Danny is missing.

Have you seen her?

Where is she?

(animals calling for Danny)

(machine rumbling)

Please, has somebody

seen my baby?

Oh no, Danny!

- [Dad] Hey Tommy, come on down.

- Oh no.

- I wanna show you something.

- Good morning, Mr. Sebastian.

- There, Tommy, check it out.

That's the surprise

I told you about.

- It cannot be.

- But it is.

It was your job to stop the

monster, not to make friends.

- He's not my friend.

He never was.

- You betrayed us!

You handed our jungle

paradise to the monster.

- No, it's not true.

- What did you get in return?

To go with them to the city?

To live in comfort, eat

all the food you want?

You betrayed us!

- Enough, you troublesome bird.

- What you've been calling

the monster domesticated you.

- I think I'm gonna faint.

- Domesticated?

Say it isn't true.

- See, he's not denying it.

- Ah, that's enough, parrot.

- It's all my fault.

I was so stupid.

- Don't say that.

You were just trying to help.

- Go away, Kee.

Just go away.

I wanna be alone.

- No way, I'm here for you

whether you like it or not, Koo.

- It's all lost.

- It's not true!

- Yes, it is.

The monster won.

It's too late now.

- No, it's not too late.

We can fight.

We can still get

our jungle back.

I know we can, I just know it.

But we have to

stick together, Koo.

We have to do this together.

- What are you saying?

- What you always tell

me, that no matter what

when we fight for what

we want we can get it.

- You're right, Kee.

We have to do it together.

We have to unite.

We cannot give up our jungle.

We have to fight together!

- It's settled,

then, we'll fight.

And I'll be right

there alongside you.

- We can't do it alone.

- What are you

talking about, Koo?

- [Koo] I'm talking

about coming together--

- Coming together for what?

To get extinct?

- No.

To survive.

We have to come together

and fight together.

- What?

No, you can't fight the monster.

Yeah, you can't beat it.

Don't believe him!

- We're listening, coati.

- Thank you, Avartai.

Yes, it's true that the

monster seems invincible.

And yes, it's also true

that I've failed you.

But I also learned

from the monster.

I learned a lot of things.

I learned things that can

help us beat the monster

and save the rainforest.

We have to unite.

We have to do it together.

(jaguar growling)

That's a lot of us,

many more than they are.

They only problem is

that we're not united.

We cannot give up our jungle.

- That's right.

Let's band together and win!

- First flamingo

battalion, ready.

Strike!

(dramatic music)

(birds squawking)

- Count us in, Narrat.

- Yes, tell us what

you need from us.

(inspirational orchestral music)

(motor rumbling)

- Uh, I have to go

to the bathroom.

- Can't you wait

a little longer?

- No, I can't.

I have to go right now.

- We're almost there.

Come on, buddy, just

a little longer.

We're almost there.

- No, I can't.

I have to go.

- Just a little longer, buddy.

Just a few minutes and

we'll get to the boat.

Yes, boss.

I'm getting out because

I'm losing reception.

- Come on, run!

Let's go find your mom!

(dramatic percussive music)

- The monster!

The monster is coming.

- Be ready, Kee.

(boat creaking)

(snake hissing)

- [Man] Hey, the river!

It's blocked!

- A torpedo?

(bird squawking)

Hey.

Get those birds out of there.

- Now, otters.

Go!

- Now!

(playful dramatic music)

- Prepare yourselves.

Get those trunks ready.

Now!

Monkeys, attack.

Quickly, quickly.

- What's happening?

We're being attacked.
