The War of the Elephants and Rhinos
Based on the tale by Jean de Brunhoff
Hm... on this festive day, when even predators and never-do-wells are touched by...
...this bit's not important...
Ah! Here!
I can't hold it... I can't hold it...
King Babar, do you agree to take for your wife...
I can't... I can't... ohhh.. I can't...
My husband has made me yet another proposal.
It is so poetic!
General Ramir has the honour of ratifying the marriage contract.
Ah! Mama and papa! You're marrying again?
Our son has amazing hearing!
He has such big ears!
That's it! I can't hold it any more!
My husband can't live for a minute without painting. It is so poetic!
In honour of the newlyweds, a salute - fire!
Ah! Ah! I have finally found him!
Oh! I have finally found you!
You are my ideal!
Be my wife! You are deserving of a major painting!
Yet what is a canvas? How can it portray the unportrayable?
I get it. He'll dirty the grass again.
See this?
Cool! But what is it?
Have you ever flown on a rocket?
Nope.
You'll fly on one now!
General! Try this dish!
Aah! Aah!
To invite to a wedding and inflict a traitorous attack!
Shame!
Ceroserhinos! Er, I mean, rhinoceroses!
Follow me!
It is war...
War! How awesome!
While the king is away, I appoint myself Commander in Chief,
Elephants! Do a circle defense!
They march beautifully!
Intelligentsiya.
Elephants! Heed my command!
Until my command, hold your fire!
For my ma and my pa, fire!
Sovereign! We are all broken up!
What? What, again?
My dear, I shall soon return!
And then we shall have our wedding.
Sovereign, the foe has broken through our lines!
Excellent!
The very time to test our secret weapon! The very time...
The enemy is broken!
We have only to inflict the final blow!
Whoever attacks us by the horn...
...shall die by the horn!
Hurrah!
Trust me, general! Art is a grand thing!
Let us forget our... oh...
Oh... oh...
I think I can't hold it once more... Oh, I can't...
Excuse me...
He's one of a kind!
This is so poetic!
See this?
Cool! What is it?
You'll find out!
