great dance performance comes from the heart.

Just comes straight from your heart and you never go wrong.

Sure Mr.

Hey Alakay, I just happened to walk by and wanted to wish luck.

You're not nervous, are you?

No, it's my thing. You know.

It's kind of what I do.

In my opinion; the key of this whole thing

is choosing the right competitor.

Oh, you mean this is like a dance battle, sort of thing?

Like a dance off?

Sure.

Great, I loved that. Freestyle, put your moves out.

Who do you thing would be a good match for me?

You know, just to keep the things interesting.

Well...

I wish I could help, but that's strictly against to our ancient tradition and although we hold secret but

If I was me out there, I'd choose Titsy.

Titsy, OK?

Sounds interesting. Makunga, right?

Thank you.

Anything for Zuba's boy.

Go, get him tight.

Shake it out.

Let us begin the rite of passage ceremony.

Come on baby, make mama proud.

Oh woman, I'm trying to take care of passage here.

Got it mom.

So who will be the first participant?

Me, me me...

How about you, the tall, handsome one?

Right there, yeah. Choose your opponent.

Let me see.

I guess I'll pick...

...Titsy.

Titsy? Why did he pick Titsy?

Oh, that's my boy, he got some gumption there.

Somebody wake him up, wake him up.

Alright, so Titsy. Come on. Let's do this ha?

Come on Titsy fly, Titsy fly, come on let's see your stuff.

Bring it.

Let's dance.

OK. But it's only fair to warn you

that I'm a prodigy of fupsy and robbins.

Not dance dance, fight.

Oh, dance fight. You got it.

Is he dancing?

What is he doing?

I know that boy is not dancing.

This is even better than I thought.

Alakay, turn around.

No no pap, it's hop shuffle ball change, hip swish, turn around.

Oh no.

Alakay.

Are you hurt?

Oh yeah, I'm.

Did I, did I win?

Oh no son, how could, I mean how could this happen?

You told us you were a king.

And a king does not get beat.

Well, I'm a king.

I'm a king in New York.

It's my stage name.

I'm like a, you know, It's for what I perform.

Perform?

No, this is horrible. Alakay has failed the test.

Who would have ever imagine that the day Zuba would have to banish...

...his own son.

- Zuba, no.

Zuba, yes.

Sadly the alpha lion must cast out all failures.

Then, I'm no longer the alpha lion.

Dad, what are you doing?

Dad no, you can't do this.

Who could possibly take Zuba's place?

Anyone? Someone?

No one?

Hey.

You sir. I guess not.

Well I, this is all very awkward, but I suppose,

I could carry this tremendous burden.

Titsy, get the hat.

As your new leader, I hereby banish Alakay...

...he shell wear this hat of shame

and leave the watering hole.

For a thousand years or life...

...whichever comes last.

Come on. Shoo shoo.

Get out of here.

You should have told us son.

You should have told us that you weren't a real king.

You never told me that I have to fight anybody.

What did you expect son?

I don't know, maybe a fatherly advice,

like:
hey son...

...it's a fight.

You are a lion, aren't you?

But I never fought another lion in my life.

Yeah, yes, right. You dance.

And other stuff. The point is, your pal, Makunga...

...set me up back there. I mean, none of these would happen...

If you were a real lion...

Zuba.

Yeah, I said it.

A real lion?

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

Saw, stitcher.

Swallow.

You're in my light Steaven.

Oh, say. You've got a brown spot there on your shoulder.

Yeah, that's very observative of you Steven.

As you can see, I'm covered in brown spots.

OK. That bone will be good as new in a few weeks.

So, I don't have to pick another dying hole?

No, Timo. You've got your whole life ahead of you.

Really?

Go out there and grab a bite of that horns.

Thank you doctor Mankiewicz.

Break a leg. Sweet kid.

This spot looks like witch doctor's disease.

Witch doctor's disease?

That's the most ridiculous disease, I've ever heard of, Steven.

Wow...

Don't ask.

Someone has been naughty.

OK. This one will hurt a bit.

Joe, our last witch doctor, he had a spot just like that.

Monday Joe, Wednesday no Joe.

Wednesday no Joe?

I can breathe.

Thanks doc.

So, this witch doctor's disease is a real thing?

You'll find a cure. Hey, you got at least forty eight hours.

But I have never even heard of it.

What? I mean, I don't have any penicillin.

I'm gonna need a catscan just to get started.

You'll have a lion looking over, they'd be happy to.

Ta daaa.

That guy has got talent.

Bet you haven't seen that one before.

This knock 'em dead in New York.

Hey, let's all give it a try.

Yeah, let's do it.

Well, hey hey hey, I know you want to

but it's gonna take years of practice...

...you get never gonna quite get a tight stream

until you build up your lip muscles to the point...

...where you can purse your lips like this.

You got it?

Ta daa...

How did you?

You guys got it right up the box.

If you can do it.

We can do it.

It's in our blood.

I always thought, I was a little bit unique.

We are unique.

Hey, we are like a force of nature.

A million points of light.

And all stripes.

Exactly the same.

Exactly the same.

Looks impressive Kowalski,

but will it fly?

Yes, if we fold it here, here and here.

Nice.

Oh man, my dad thinks I'm a total loser.

I have ruined my parent's lifes.

That is definitely not crackalacking.

It's lacking in the craken my friend.

I have got to fix this.

So,

there is...

...there is something I gotto tell you.

Hey guys.

Is this place great or what?

I'd go with or what.

Oh well, I tell you what.

You're not gonna believe it but;

I got a date with Moto Moto.

Who is Moto Moto.

Oh, he's so big and handsome and big.

You know what Moto Moto means?

Twins?

It means hot hot.

Hot hot?

OK, when did you start parley in African?

It's in my blood.

Don't worry.

You can flirt around with Mr. Hot Pants after I'm gone.

What's the deal Melman?

Why am I the parade and you are the rain?

Why do you have to dry the parade under my rain?

Maybe I'll just parade myself in another part of town.

Fine by me. By the way, the main streets mine.

Well, you can have your old stinking main streets.

And you can take your hottie tub flood

and you Mr. hot, Moto Moto Jr. comes...

My hottie tub what? What are you talking about?

Come on Melman, why don't you just tell her?

You tell, what? Tell her, what are you talking about?

I don't know what you are talking about.

So I guess, I'll go then.

You know what, don't bother.

Don't get up in my account.

Melman, Gloria.

Hey, I thought you guys were friends.

Come on guys, Marty is absolutely right.

Marty?

Marty?

Marty!
