THE GOLDEN ANTELOPE Based on Indian folk tales
Gold!
Money!
Get her!
Go! Go!
Get your Antelope.
I'll pick up everything.
Four, five, six.
Don't be afraid.
Come on! I'll hide you. Don't be scared. Follow me!
Come on! Come on!
Hide! Quick!
The Golden Antelope has just been here!
Tell me where she went!
Raja! You are so great!
The Antelope went that way.
Why do her traces stop here?
You are trying to trick me, boy.
Give me an order and I'll cut his head off.
First go and check!
If you lied to me, boy,
I must throw you to the leopards.
The boy has told you the truth!
This is what I found in the bushes.
I'm tough, but always just.
And for your honesty, you shall be given a very special award.
Give me those golden coins!
Boy,
for your honesty, I am going to give you
your life.
Take the leopards away!
Thank you, little brother.
Whenever you need my help, come to me.
Where shall I find you?
I live deep
in the jungle,
past the old town,
near the Humpback Mountain, in a place where the green bamboo whispers.
I live where the wild plums grow.
Where six little bears squeal with joy and roll on their backs.
When a leaf falls down from a tree,
the tigers come out to see it happen.
Come to me, little brother. I like you.
I like you too.
Hold her! Hold her tight, boy!
Get away!
Oh! Go! Go, you stupid mule!
Go!
Why did you let her go? - You frightened me!
Enough talk! Tell me where she is.
- I don't know. - Yes, you do!
You hugged each other like good pals.
Tell me or else.
- I've got nothing to lose. I'm an orphan. - An orphan?
Listen, orphan. Tell me where the antelope lives.
Tell me, and I will give you a gold coin.
I don't need a coin.
Do you want me to give you all these coins?
If I don't need one of them, why should I need all of them?
So, you think the antelope can give you more?
Tell me! Where does she live? Tell me! Tell me!
Tell me!
Ah!
Tell me! Where does she live?
Stop! Tell me!
Come back! Tell me!
There's no use! No use!
Now I've got you.
Ah!
I'll tell the Raja!
Every Raja has something magical.
The Raja of the North has a famed wooden horse
that flies swiftly through the air!
The Raja of the South has a mystical wife who can turn herself into a flitting bird.
I've seen all this a number of times.
Be gone!
I'm so bored!
The Raja of the West has a magic wand
that can create a feast.
And I've got absolutely nothing.
Be gone!
Today the Golden Antelope escaped from me.
Oh! Come here!
Come! Come closer!
Come closer! Don't be afraid!
I only wish
to see the coins
that you collected from the Golden Antelope.
All of them!
What if they are counterfeits?
Oh!
Let us check them.
Let us compare them.
I'll compare them to mine.
Let us check them... hey!
I only want to compare your coins to mine.
Hold on, let me compare them...
I'm very happy to say that your coins are real.
O, Great Raja!
You have mistakenly dropped my coins in the chest with your own!
Dear, dear! What have I done?
Now, how will I ever tell your coins from mine?
Raja, please! Give them back!
Oh, but what if I make a mistake
and give you back coins that are mine?
I cannot give my coins to anyone.
Not anyone.
Raja!
Unfortunately, my money is more worthy than my people.
My money is real, and my people are phony.
You swear your loyalty,
but you can't get me the Golden Antelope.
O, Great Raja, this is exactly what I was going to tell you.
A boy from the village knows
just where to find her!
A boy that can find the Golden Antelope?
Bring him to me!
The Raja has ordered you to his castle at once!
I have done nothing wrong.
Take the boy!
Get away!
Go on! Go on!
Go back to the jungle.
Get away! Go back to the jungle.
Guards!
Carry out the Raja's order!
You would still do this to me? I saved your life!
No, no, no. Don't be foolish.
I couldn't be scared of this striped cat.
Take him to the Raja's court! Immediately!
Follow me!
You attacked my servant, boy,
ripped his clothes
and caused great damage to him.
For this, you deserve punishment!
I did not touch him, Great Raja.
He attacked me like a wild leopard!
Sire, let me cut off his head.
Not this time.
Boy, you must pay a fine for all your crimes. Ten golden coins.
- Gold for me? - Fool. All golden coins come to the Raja.
You've already received what was yours, have you not?
Oh, Great Raja, I do not have ten coins.
If you do not bring them to me by sunrise,
you may say goodbye to your head.
Now go!
Follow him!
I'm sure that he will go to the Antelope,
and we will learn where she lives.
No!
Don't eat the hatchlings.
Have some milk. Here.
Thank you.
What are you looking for?
I am looking for the Golden Antelope.
Follow me!
Do not cry, little ones.
I'll free you!
There. Run!
Thank you, little brother.
What are you looking for so deep in the jungle?
I am looking for the Golden Antelope.
Let me take you there.
Goodbye. You must continue on your own.
The old town! The Antelope spoke of it.
Thank you, little brother.
But what are you looking for, so deep in the jungle?
I am looking for the Golden Antelope.
Climb on my back.
I will take you to her.
Oh, the Humpbacked Mountain!
There it is!
Farewell, little brother.
You must continue on your own.
Green bamboo!
Six little bears!
A wild plum tree!
Tigers.
Do not harm him. This is my friend.
At last! I'm so happy!
Why have you come, little brother?
The Raja said he will cut off my head
if I do not bring him ten golden coins
by sunrise tomorrow.
Take them!
- Thank you! - Wait!
Now take this bamboo and make a pipe from it.
If ever you need me, just blow the pipe three times
and I will appear.
Three times? Perfect!
- I must leave you now. - You will never arrive on time.
Get on my back and I will take you there myself.
- Not here? - Not here.
- He is here! - He is here!
- You? - Great Raja,
I have brought you all that you asked of me.
I know who gave you these ten golden coins, boy.
Tell me where to find the Golden Antelope! Tell me!
I will not!
Your Highness, let me cut off his head!
Hold your sword!
Boy, I am giving you three minutes to think it over.
Here's an hourglass.
If you do not tell me before the last grain of sand falls
where the Antelope is, your head will be cut off.
You are a Raja, and yet you don't know that one doesn't betray friends!
Boy, virtuous boy!
I will make you a Minister,
you will be as a son to me, or, if you wish, even as my father,
only tell me where the Antelope lives!
- Tell me! - No, I won't!
Tell me before it's too late!
I won't.
- You don't want to tell me? - No!
Then cut off his head!
Wait! Wait!
The boy has a magic pipe!
Blow into it three times, and the Antelope will appear!
- No! No! Give it back! - No!
Did you call me, little brother?
No, no! It's a trap! Run!
Wait! If you run away, I will be forced to cut the boy's head off.
What do you want from me?
Gold!
If you let the boy go, I will give you gold.
Let the boy go.
Guards!
Get her!
Go, little brother. I'll be all right.
I will not leave you.
Pah! Get that boy away from her!
- Don't you worry about me. - Don't go to them!
How much gold do you desire?
Uh... a lot.
But what if it'll be too much?
Stupid animal!
There can never be too much gold!
As you wish. But remember,
if you stop me and say "Enough!",
all your gold will turn into broken bits of pottery.
Gold! Mine!
- It's all mine! All mine! - Gold!
Gold!
It's all mine! Mine! Ah!
Run, here!
Stop! Wait!
More!
Give me more!
More! More!
Have pity!
Spare me!
Enough!
Help!
Help yourself!
I'll go to serve another Raja, richer than you!
Let's go, little brother.
Yes, let's go.
