parking and hippos.

Hey everybody! I just found out that

my son is a king.

The king of New York.

Show me some of your moves son. Come on.

Don't be bashful.

Alright.

Ooh, this one always knocks them dead.

The king is mad, the king is mad.

Now, let's all welcome him back into the pride

above the arms.

Welcome to the herd Marty.

Me, in a herd?

I've always wanted to be a part of a herd.

It's one for all,

and all for all.

How do I look?

Technicly, a traditional witch doctor has a bone to his nose.

Don't worry, it has just a clip on it.

Voila, he's a witch doctor.

My mother would be so happy.

Look out. I think Moto Moto likes you.

Here he comes.

I like 'em big.

I like 'em chunky.

I like 'em big.

I like 'em plumpy.

I like 'em round.

With something, something.

They like my sound.

They think I'm funky.

Goodness girl.

You're huge.

Who is your friend,

or is that your butt?

Girl, you are as quick as you all have to.

So, you are Moto Moto.

The name is so nice,

when you say it twice.

I kind of a like it that so.

I see you around new.

I won't be hard, because you're so plumpy.

Oops. I hate to be a party pooper Zuba

but some of the other lions are wondering

when you are going to banish your son.

What are you talking about, Makunga?

It's nothing really,

if their great being about who Alakay

never went through the rite of passage, bla bla bla...

So, technically speaking...

...he can't be a member of the pride,

it's nonsense.

I had forgotten about the rite of passage.

What is it? What is this rite of passage?

It's a traditional common of a ceremony where

young lions earn their manes by demonstrating their skills.

Sort of a show skill, talent show, tab dale?

Yeah, sturdiness stuff.

Great informers. I think that's up my alley guys.

If it's tradition, I want to do it.

Stud my stuff. Earn my mane.

I want to be Alakuy.

Alakay.

Alakay. Even better.

We'll hold the rite of passage first thing in the morning.

That's wonderful. Good luck Alakay.

Where I come from we say: Break a leg.

Oh, that's my boy.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah.

It's amazing.

Guys, this is where we belong.

Operation tourist trap is in go.

Oh, I like that one.

That's a good one.

That works on many levels sir.

You guys are a bunch of suck ups.

That too sir.

Absolutely.

Hide.

Stations.

Stage one. Go.

Oh no. What've I done.

Come on, take the bait.

Stage two. Go, go, go.

I'll give him the kiss of life.

Rico.

Rico!

Reverse.

Gas.

Music.

Oh no, stop. Stop.

Stop. Come back.

What is all that rock'n roll racket?

Is she dead?

No!

You hood ones!

Good heavens. Are you OK?

Lady, I found your pocket bag.

Oh, my hand bag. Such a good boy.

Man, I can't survive without it.

Wow, you are a one tough cookie.

Brownies, root for sixteen. Yonkers.

OK. Nobody panic. The best thing we can do is

stay together. We'll wait for another tour jeep.

It may take hours and it's getting dark but...

Where are you going?

I'm not gonna stay out in the opening

get attacked by more animals.

I'm too old to die.

I don't know about you guys

but I'm going with her.

Please! We need to stay...

together.

Fine, we'll go that way.

Does anyone want a hot candy?

Easy now.

Watch your step. And this, right here.

OK. Are you ready?

This is where you always slept.

Oh man!

Was this mine?

Look at you. Look at him honey.

Oh my.

Oh this thing. Look, look. I remember this.

You remember.

Harder than I...

You never slept on the right end.

You always slept on the bottom end.

Was that, was that my?

Is that me?

You had the cutest little paws.

Little bit of paws.

You did that the day we lost you.

Wow. I was so young.

What happened to me?

It was all my fault. I turned my back for a minute and...

It was not your fault.

Your father did everything he could.

He tracked those hunters for weeks.

Far off the reserve.

Finally I had to assume that the hunters... Well...

We thought, we thought they killed you.

But my son fought those hunters off ha?

Don't mess with the king of New York.

That's right.

Alright, alright boys. Be careful.

Watch out before you break something.

You used to call this Fufi.

Fufi?

Fufi.

Oh, he doesn't want that thing.

Give my Fufi.

Zuba, you'd better give him his Fufi.

I mean no, thank you, thank you.

It's perfect.

Well son, you get your rest,

you'll have a big day tomorrow.

You're gonna need all your strength.

I'm gonna bring the house down for you dad.

I hope so,

otherwise your father would have to banish you.

Oh gee, not really?

I know you're gonna do us proud. You know why?

You were born with it.

Good night Alakay.

My boy, my own boy.

My son is a king.

My son is a king.

Good night mom.

Good night Alakay.

No sign of civilization.

Everybody appears very tired.

I think we're lost.

Hey Nana, do you even know where you are going?

No, but I'm going with a skip in my step and a smile on my face.

Sure, right, OK.

Yeah, alright.

It's people. Where do you come from?

How could we get out of here?

Can you help us, we're lost?

We are lost too.

It was awful, a flash of black and white never gone.

They took the jeep, everything.

That happened to our jeep too.

What are we gonna do?

Only hope to survive out here!

No food, no water, no shelter.

What are we gonna do?

You can let nature get the best of you,

or you can get the best of nature.

Gather around children.

We are New Yorkers, right?

Yeah.

We survived in a concrete jungle.

If we need food, we hunt for a decent hotdogs stand,

am I right?

She is right.

If we need shelter, we build skyscrapers.

If we need water, we build a dam.

Come on, we're New Yorkers.

If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere.

I'm coming King Julien.

Skipper, we have all the parts we need

but we're slightly behind schedule.

How slightly?

Six to nine years.

Sixty nine years?

No six to nine years.

Privates, what happened to our thumbs?

Haven't seen them since yesterday sir. Damn you...

Nobody goes AWOL on my watch.

Private, you are coming with me.

Rico, you are coming with me.

I'm tracking down to bring them for the court marshall.

That won't be necessary.

We have recruited a few extra thumbs for you, Skipper.

Floppy of monkeys entered.

I doubt that.

Enough wallin' gagging now let's get to work. We'll divide into three groups.

Group alpha, you are charged in seeping of fabrication.

Group Offset, you'll handle assembly.

Group George Report: you'll handle gas services.

Any questions?

Good, then let's get to work.

I'd like to kiss you monkey man.

Alright but you are so darn ugly.

Alright, so little cubs cats, just remember
