the Savannah.

Home to so many dangerous animals.

Ouch! Baba's hitting me!

Quiet! Home, indeed, to nothing but dangerous animals.

A lion!

Now, lion, you're not going to eat us!

But, of course, I'm going to eat you. You look yummy!

Lions is the most dangerous of all.

No, my boy. They're not half as dangerous as... An eagle!

A cat.

Delicious.

Good. Always on the lookout. Because all animals are dangerous.

All of them? All of them.

Really? Even butterflies?

Ah, butterflies.

They're the most deadly dangerous of all.

How are you doing?

Gotcha! I love them all!

Grandmama? Never heard of her.

I'm a deco and I'm hungry.

Tasty, delicious, yummy.

You see?

That's why even butterflies are dangerous.

They distract you.

Yes. And that's why we don't trust any animals.

With just one exception.

And what might that be?

A snail.

A small fish.

Very, very tiny.

Exactly. And that's why we always stick to ourselves.

No.

Left, right, up, down.

I just did.

But you didn't look behind you. I was just about to.

Yes, Grandpapa.

And stay away from strangers.

I know. Even butterflies.

Especially butterflies.

Wait, I'm coming too.

Nope, you're too small.

Oh, there's not much left. Oh, sorry.

That was me. But today, I was, like, so thirsty.

You know, when you, like, get so amazingly super thirsty and then you

to... Drink the river dry?

Yeah, whoa, the whole river.

Well, obviously not the whole... You are a big old greedy river hog. No.

Hey, I'm bristles.

Oh, so you're funny too, huh? You noticed.

But you're pretty funny too, you know. Oh, yeah?

Oh, sure.

You're good.

We could be a double that. Bristles and... Tafiti.

Well, hello, Tafiti.

And goodbye, Bristles. But before we just get to know each other, I've got

more jokes.

Hey, hold on a sec.

Stay away from strangers. Hey, stop.

Help. They're all...

You okay?

I'm fine.

But you're bleeding.

Oh, just a scratch.

Doesn't it hurt?

No, no, no, no.

Huh?

Well,

we've got some herbs at home, but... Your home?

Oh, but that's so kind.

Just because I'm bleeding.

No, no, no, you can't.

What on earth is that pig doing here?

Oh, bristles.

Tapeete. Grandpapa, there was an eagle and it attacked him and I was...

haven't you understood anything?

No ifs, no buts. We stick to our own kind.

But he's bleeding.

Who's bleeding?

No one.

Um, I could come back some other time.

No, you won't be coming back at all. Let me take a look.

We'll take care of that in a jiffy.

You're not allowed here.

No, I'm good already.

No, you're not. You have to leave now.

You can't stay here.

Stay here?

Really? Uh -uh.

Ding -dong.

Ding -dong.

Ding -dong!

Ding -dong!

Ding -dong!

That's an egg!

Oh, no!

Ding -dong!

Bubba! Quick, take my hand!

I got you!

Hey, you!

Come on, over here!

It's nothing.

Grandpapa!

I'm so sorry.

It's all my fault.

Listen to me. I don't have much time left.

But you're going to get better, right?

The poison works slowly, but it works.

Grandpapa. Zafiti, I want you to promise me something.

Anything, Grandpapa.

Anything. Stay away from strangers. They're dangerous.

Like that bristle.

You see the harm done by that stupid bush pig?

Yes,

Grandpapa. Yes.

Promise me this.

Stick to your own kind.

Always.

I promise, Grandpapa.

I promise.

Mice don't dance with elephants.

Uh... I just wanted to apologize.

You're still here?

I'm really sorry.

Just go.

But...

Now.

But there must be something I can do.

You won't make it to the next rain.

The next rain?

But that's too...

There must be something we can do. Something that can save him. Across the

desert you must go.

By day, by dusk, by starry night.

Through gate of snakes, neath cobra bright.

To where the one blue flower grows.

Full of magic.

Full of might.

Grandpa Paul?

Grandpapa, the blue flower.

What kind of blue flower?

That's just an old legend.

And what's it about?

The blue flower.

The one they say heals everything.

Everything?

Grandpapa too?

I'm going to go get it.

Taciti, no one even knows if that flower exists.

I have to try. It's our only chance.

Do you know how many have gone looking for it already?

Lots.

And how many of them ever return?

Not one. I don't care.

Not everything.

I don't want to lose you as well.

Hello? Who's there?

Oh, yeah, right.

Me.

What are you doing here?

Have you been following me?

No, never.

Totally not.

You have been following me.

Well, how else am I going to save Grandpapa? No way.

You are not coming with me.

Oh, says who?

I'm going to find a blue flower, too. You know, across the desert, through

snake gate where the co...

Oh, are there really snakes there?

Yes.

Um, any idea of, like, how many?

You know, like, lots and lots of snakes, or maybe just one?

Lots and lots.

Stop following me. I'm not following you. We're just going in the same

direction. Just get lost.

Funny we're going the same way though, isn't it?

I told you it was fair enough if we're supposed to find a blue flower. I told

you I'm going alone.

Whatever. You're going alone.

And I'm going alone too.

It's not like it's your own personal path.

I can use it too, you know.

It's for everyone.

Don't pay any attention to me. Hold on.

Just pretend like I'm not here.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait.

How important is it that the blue flower is actually blue?

Oh, crucial.

Hmm.

The red's also a pretty good colour, though, isn't it?

Shame.

Could have saved us so much time.

Hmm. Oh, it's not bad, actually.

No healing powers as such, but tangy.

Tangy. Hmm?

And a very earthy aftertaste. You should try one, Tafiti.

Tafiti?

Phew.

Oh.

Is this the desert?

It's a bit bigger than I thought.

No end in sight. And beyond it, the blue flower.

No. In.

In. Side.

Closer than we think.

Now you've attracted the eagle.

You are really such a great help. No, no, it wasn't me. Just leave me alone.

Wait, if we walk together, he can't get us.

We're too heavy. Really?

Why would I want to get anyone to eat us? But, my dears, getting

is now completely unnecessary.

Defenseless animals all alone in the desert with no water and all those

and jackals around.

Well.

Actually, it's just a matter of time.

And bingo.

Dinner is served.

With no effort on my part whatsoever.

Off you go.

I'm right behind you.

Okay. There are trees on the horizon.

That must be an oasis.

I can make it.

He can't do anything.

Not as long as we stick together. We're not together.

Stick yourself.

Hello, little mer -cat.

Wait!

We're just going the same way, all right?

Fine by me.

So far.

How much longer?

Oh, not much longer at all.

Okay, just a small sip.

Water.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Water.

Water.

Water?

But of course, here.

Hey, we might need some too, you know.

Thank you. Yes.

Thank you. Time for takeoff. Where are you going?

We just follow the rain.

Is there another oasis around here?

Nope. That's the only one.

This is the only oasis? But what are we going to drink?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's all dried up.

What awful bad luck.

Oh, I'm so stupid, stupid, stupid.

Oh, pram, Papa.

If only I'd gone alone.

Yeah, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Oh, man, how can anybody be so stupid? Giving away your water?

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. But wasn't it your water, too?

Stupid. Keep your eyes on him. I'm sure he must have water.

What?

Spare one?

That one, maybe.

No. That one? Nope.

That one. No. That one's for this evening. And that one's for tomorrow.

And for the day after tomorrow.

And those are for the summer. Those are for the winter. That one's for my

birthday. That's a midnight snack.

And those there, yes, they're for when things get tough. When things get tough?

Things are tough now.

If you give away your water. Yes.

Exactly. We give it away. Then that's your problem.

Mike Mellon.

That's my snack.

After all that, I need some refreshment.

No, that's our last reserves.

No? Not yet, Bruce Waltz.

Are they gone? No.

You?

Oh, nice results.

Yours? Hey, this melon is mine.

Okay, fine.

Whatever. Take it. Have it all.

No, no, wait.

One for the road.

Yeah, that's me.

Generosity personified. I give away my last morsel. And what?

Not even a home.

Me neither.

Not even a family.

Me neither.

The only thing I got left is my now.

It's just me and my trunk. Hey, look at one of those two.

No, no, you don't.

Hey, yes, you do. You bet I do.

You call that tooting?

Listen up.

Hey,

that's nothing.

Wait.

Let go.

Alone, bristles.

Alone?

Like I should have done right from the start.

Where's he off to?

Across the desert to the blue flower.

Uh -huh.

And which way's that?

Well,

aren't you too lucky you got me then.

What did you say? Across the desert?

Easy peasy.

We go straight ahead.

Which? Straight ahead, exactly.

To the blue flower, right?

Mm -hmm.

That way.

So, let's go.

Let's hit the road, Mr. Piggy.

Didn't you want to go alone?

I am.

We're just going in the same direction.

You're lucky we met, you know.

I've been searching for someone like me my entire life.

And we got everything in common.

Snout, snout.

Clever, clever.

We're like twins.

Exactly. You even got some of my amazing good looks and stunning physique.

Man, I'm toasty. You toasty too, Brussels?

I know.

Hey, Brussels and I are toasty here.

Why don't you try walking for a while? We're just fine with this arrangement.

Aren't we, Brizles? Water.

I need water.

Okay, I'll go ahead.

Whoa!

What is that?

Well, I can tell you.

Well, you can, but then you die in agonizing pain.

Take a look around, fellas.

If we stay here, we'll die.

No kidding. So, let's go back to the oasis, huh?

Go that way?

Without water?

Hey, stupid, you brought me here, you take me back. Right now. No, you brought

us here.

You said this was a way to the blue flower. A flower?

In the desert? You guys are two baboons short of a troop. You lied to us?

Yeah, so?

What do you mean, yeah, so?

Hey, I'm in the middle of the desert with two stupid crazies who give water

away, destroy my melons, and you expect me to tell you the truth?

But... At last, he gets it.

It's like watching a light go on. One light?

Wish Grandpapa could see this.

He loves the stars.

There's the big meerkat. And there's the little one.

The elephant.

The baboon.

The cobra.

And what about the mouse? There's got to be a mouse up there, too.

The cobra, he did. The cobra?

The cobra! The star sign!

Grandpapa was talking about the constellation!

Oh. Across the desert you must go, by day, by dusk. by starry night.

Through gate of snakes, neath cobra bright.

For there, the one blue flower grows, full of magic, full of might.

Your point being? That's the way we should have gone.

Oh, was that a shooting star?

Oh, no.

Can I make a wish anyway?

I always wish for the same thing.

A family.

You don't have any?

Any friends?

I don't have anyone.

Hey, I don't have no friends neither.

Weird. Bristle, um, it's really good you came out.

What a feature.

Come on, then.

Hey,

make some space, huh?

Perfect.

Such a shame we're all going to die of thirst.

Oh, yes.

Such a shame.

Oh, we're already in heaven.

We're in heaven.

Right. In the middle of the clouds.

There's somebody there!

There's somebody there! Hey, that's me.

Oh. I think it's just fog.

Fog? Oh, right.

Of course.

Can you hear that too?

There! Uh -oh.

What's that?

You don't know water?

Go away.

You're standing in our fog.

Oh, excuse me.

What do you think you're doing? Can't you see? We are collecting water.

Water. Water.

Better than nothing.

Get your own water.

Wait. Stop. How do you do that?

Don't move.

Now he's bothered again.

Good, this little piggy came along.

I went the whole hog and saved our bacon. Get it?

Get it? Get it? Hog?

Bacon? Yes, we got it the first time, Bristol.

Very good.

Wait, look.

The gate of Snake!

If you're heading to the desert...

Then don't you go alone. You need a bush pig right beside you. Don't take

chances on your own. There's all kinds of danger. And you may want to flee, but

you'll never ever have to.

If you just have me.

Oh, cool.

Oh, hot! Oh, hot!

What are you doing?

It's not funny!

Is that hot?

If it's too hot, then you're too slow.

Could you spell burning?

Oh, dear.

Coming through!

Out!

Out! Out! Out!

It's too hot, then you're too slow.

What's that?

That's the salt paint.

Why is it called a paint?

You go in, you get fried.

Just like in a pan.

Oh, yummy.

I love a good barbecue.

But that's the way we have to go.

We'll never make it.

And if we go at night?

It's not so hot. Have you totally lost it? Didn't you see the size of it? You

heard Dancer Dude.

We go in there, we're roasty toasty.

Roasty, toasty, tasty.

Beat it up, will ya? When the sun rises, we sizzle.

No wimping out. Come on, shake a leg. You can sleep when we're there.

There.

Not much further.

Look, Bristle.

We've almost made it.

Oh, boy.

I'm coming in a sec. Come on.

We'll lead the way.

We can't just leave Bristle's line there. Why not?

Bristles. Get up.

Oh, jeez. The sun's coming up.

Oh, no.

No,

thank you. You can sizzle on your own. You go on.

I'll be fine.

Yeah, you'll be fine. Let's move. We can make it without...

Can't you just make a bit of an effort? Just refuse my kiss?

Oh, you've got to be kidding. Well, how about that?

The moment we've all been waiting for.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Both of you. So stupid it's even rubbing off on me.

Look, club stupid's newest member.

There's no need for that. Okay, taffeti.

Sleeping hogs lie.

Shut up, scrawny.

All right, then. Go for it. Give it your all. Nothing like physical exertion to

make you nice and tender, my tasty little appetizer.

You're gonna fry.

Oh, yeah. You'll sizzle and bake. Oh, yeah.

That's it.

Get up.

House knows.

Terribly sorry, but that's my snack.

Maybe it's time to go vegan.

You see what you've done to me? I'm speechless.

No words.

They just won't come. Not a single word. I can't explain. I express myself, my

desires, my emotions, my sensitivities.

And you really don't mind about the size issue?

Soft, my sweet.

You're perfect.

Perfect? She thinks I'm perfect.

She's absolutely perfect.

It's not funny. No.

She is.

She's just like me.

We are exactly the same.

Yes. It's unbelievable.

You know what Grandpapa told me?

He said mice don't dance with elephants.

Grandpapa!

Time to say goodbye, Teviti.

And don't forget your promise.

No, no. I'm going to get the plow for you. I'm on my way.

If I don't leave now, it'll be too late.

You stay... here.

Get some rest.

Wait.

No. No. I'm coming with you.

Okay. Then let's go, guys.

Folks, I know this will be a terrible blow, but you're going to have to help

out.

She's perfect.

Oh, he thinks I'm perfect.

My elegant, oh, so elegant.

We should, um... Yeah.

Let's go.

Whoa, my trunk made.

Crankle skin.

We need to hurry up and find the blue flower. Yeah, of course.

But after we've found it and Grandpapa gets better, could I...

Could I come and live with yours?

What?

You're not a meerkat. Yeah, but if mice can live with elephants... Grandpapa

would never allow it. What?

Wait! Someone will get this stupid flower bowl!

I've got thirsty, dried, sizzled, nearly died!

All because of Grandpa Pa!

If you hadn't got... If you hadn't...

I'm glad you came with me.

I really am.

Now you're gone.

And I'm all alone.

Do you have any idea how annoying that was?

Intensely annoying.

But I really miss it.

Exactly. Just like that.

Parker?

I'm sorry.

No, no, I'm the one who's sorry.

Can you draw that?

Let go.

There's no time to lose.

Look.

There seems to be courage.

It had to go out somewhere.

What? No.

No way I'm getting back into that.

I see, but there's no way we can get up there.

No more water for me. Let me take a look.

Huh?

Hey, it looks good.

It goes further around the corner.

Let's go.

No, I'm not getting wet. You don't have to.

All aboard. Up here, you won't even get your paws down.

And away we go.

Don't worry.

Back low.

If you're not that good at swimming, then don't you go alone. You need a bush

pig you can float on. Don't take Chelsea, though.

There's all kinds of danger, and you may want to flee, but you never ever have

to, if you just have me.

If you're not that good as for me, then don't you go alone. You need a push, but

you can float like this.

Well, I guess this is the way we have to go.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, stop.

It's got to be the way out.

Who cares?

Turn around. Turn around now!

Okay.

Oh, hi.

Do you know the way out?

Dude.

Do you see any flowers?

Not one.

It was all

for nothing.

Is it really good to be a flower?

Maybe the blue flower really does mix it.

It's like fruity with a spring bouquet.

You ate the blue flower.

What? No.

You just ate the blue flower. I did?

Are you sure it was blue? We just came this long, long, deadly,

dangerous way.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! We finally find the blue flower!

And I eat it!

Now Grandpa's a goner!

We're grandpa boys.

He still has a rain of grandpa paws. Maybe we really can do it. Yeah, we just

have to beat the clouds home.

But how?

Well, we'll just fly faster than them.

We're never going to make it.

Not by ourselves we won't.

Really? As we Pelican say, you scratch my beak, I'll scratch yours. Great!

That heavy?

I'll lend you a hand.

So, uh... Okay, um... Almost there.

Te Fiti?

Huh?

What are you doing?

Get back in your beak immediately.

I apologize.

Can I try?

Te Fiti, I can't come with you anyway.

Remember your promise?

But... Grandpa Poe was right.

I don't belong with you.

It was all my fault with this snake.

But... Daviti, you have to go now.

If you don't, it was all for nothing.

But what about you?

Hard to find.

So, you said goodbye enough then?

Good.

Time for take -off.

I'll never forget you.

Mwah!

Is this the desert?

It's a bit bigger than I thought.

Don't pay any attention to me. Hold on.

Just pretend like I'm not here.

Is neutral that?

time. It hasn't rained yet.

Grandpapa, I'm coming.

Grandpapa. I have it. The blue flower.

I have it.

Oh, Terfity.

It's too late.

Too late? No.

Here.

Come on.

Drink this.

Come on.

Yes. Yes.

There we go.

anyway for your help.

Boy, I saw the commotion. Oh, it's just the... Grandpapa!

You're alive!

Of course I am. I just overslept a bit, I think.

Overslept. What's up with you two? Don't you remember?

A snake bit you. A snake?

Rubbish. I'd be dead. But you were. Well, almost.

Ah, yes.

The snake.

Grandpapa! Grandpapa!

But then, why am I... Taffety went and got the blue flower. The blue flower? It

really exists?

Yes. You saved me.

Yes. Our little Taffety, all by himself. No, not all by myself. What?

Ripples helped me.

Who?

Ripples.

The one with the snake?

Of all the...

But you promised. Yes, I did. And I wanted to do it alone. But then, well...

I'm sorry.

And where is he now?

There's bristles.

Far away.

And I'll never see him again.

Very well then.

Thank you for

flying, Eagle Air.

You're not going to eat me?

No.

Why?

You two belong together.

And besides... Meat -based diets are overrated anyway.

Ah!

Frizzles.

Graffiti.

Graffiti.

Hey -ho.

Anyone know when the next eagle departs?

Well, actually, I really must be going because I'm urgently expected.

No way.

Bristles?

Bristles! Leave him.

It's better that way.

We stick to our own kind.

No, it's not better at all. It's better to have friends. And Bristles is my

friend. Grandpapa, yes, I know. I promised you I'd stay away from

But I could never have done it alone.

Never. If bristles hadn't been there, I'd have been eaten by jackals, or I'd

have died of thirst, or drowned, or been killed by the snake. By myself, I would

never have found the blue flower.

Really? Without bristles?

Never.

But bristles is a...

Oh, well.

All alone again.

I know, big deal.

But we all for the best, really.

Hey, wait!

What? Where are you going?

Me?

Oh, well.

Oh.

But I don't want you to go.

Oh?

Please stay.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I'm not going to leave you all on your own.

But... And Papa?

And what are you waiting for?

You're going to get wet out there.

Come on, get inside.

I think he's talking to you and, um... You too, bristles.

Come on.

Me? Yes, come on.

You really mean it?

How long can I stay?

Do I have to go again when it stops raining?

No, of course not. You're staying for good.

Forever?

Yes, forever.

Yeah, but how exactly do you mean forever? Because it could mean forever

ever and ever, or it could just mean, well, end of the rainy season, and then

we'll have another. Think about it. Forever.

Oh.

That's nice.

Thank you.
