Good morning!
I'm sorry for waking you up, you look like you really needed it,
but the thing is, I don't think you'd be
comfortable sleeping in a place like this, buddy.
They went that way and I couldn't...
even do anything to stop them leaving.
I've no idea where they went.
They must be far away by now.
I'm pretty sure it's just some terrible nightmare that he had.
This is what happens when you sleep out on the road, right?
Hello, my name is Tiger.
Well, at least, back home, that's what they call me.
You may call me Tiger too.
Do you stay around this area?
Er...
Yes!
Um, I-I mean, no, not really. Uh, I just came out for a little walk.
Anyway, my family is roaming around here somewhere.
They'll arrive shortly er, to pick me up any moment now.
Oh!
Do you mind telling me what you're doing out in this place?
Well, it's a long story. I don't wanna bore you.
I'd really like to hear it. Tell me.
Hey, it's been three hours already.
Kannan, you'll become a father soon.
Try to be more patient.
Hey, Shakha! Make him understand!
Hm.
Just take it easy, my friend.
Based on my experience, I feel that
you're going to have a daughter.
Really?! Gosh, I hope you're right.
[Baby Elephant crying]
(CHUCKLES TENDERLY)
Oh, he is the one.
Daughter?
You have a son.
Oh, wow! This is great! This is just great!
Congratulations, Kannan. Congratulations!
Kaveri. Are you all right?
Hey! He looks so much like his dad, like a mini-Kannan.
[Sneezes]
What shall we call the little one, Thathi?
Well done, kids! That's how you do it!
Go teach those insects a lesson!
Carry on! Carry on!
Appu... Shall we go?
Shh!
Not yet.
Uh-huh!
And then he tells me, um… please don't mind me.
My nose is so long
and I can't smell properly!
Oh no! We're dead.
(LAUGH)
Eh…
Saras,
those bunch of trees that fell near the
pond three days ago, have they been removed?
No.
The wall on the western edge of the woodland that has been
lying broken for two weeks… Has that been repaired already?
Nah!
You were supposed to bring medicinal herbs from the Southern part,
as well as bring in blackberries and plums from the orchard.
Is that done?
No, No. No, no, no!
Saras, please make sure all the work is
completed by tomorrow evening.
By tomorrow evening!
But?
If they're not finished by tomorrow… Then all the responsibilities of the children...
will be given to all of you.
Oh, no problem! No problem! Consider it done!
In fact, we shall get everything done right away.
Um, right, guys?
But, the children... Where did they go?
It's been some time now, may I ask where we're going?
No...
Be quiet and keep walking.
Hey! We should have told my Mommy before we went out.
I didn't even have breakfast, and now I'm starving.
The road is blocked. What now?
Shall we go back?
Not a chance!
The road is clear. Let's go.
Oh, wow!
But guys, how are we gonna get near that tree?
Hmm.
Just like the army of monkeys did.
Wow!
Woah, ugh!
Mm-mm-mmm!
Down there! Stop moving!
Did you get anything?
Not yet!
Mitthi!
Ah!
My feet are slipping! We're gonna fall!
Help us! Please somebody help us!
Woah!
Appu! Appu! Oh, no! We are gonna fall!
Mummy!
Oh, goodness!
No, don't.
Let them learn on their own!
What is this? Now who did this to the bravest elephants in this entire forest?
Who would dare do such a thing to you?
(CHUCKLES)
Small and tiny honeybees did this to them, Thathi.
(LAUGH)
Everyone is looking for you back there!
And as for you, my child, I shall speak with you in private.
Thathi, if it weren't for those honeybees, I would've...
If it weren't for those honeybees,
we would've gobbled up the entire tree.
Am I right?
(CHUCKLES)
Let them try to come back.
I'll teach them a lesson they'll never forget!
Experience is a great teacher.
If they do not learn how to use their power wisely, then
even the great warriors must accept defeat,
no matter how much bitter that defeat may be.
When the moment that this power becomes your strength,
then nothing is impossible, and you can achieve anything.
'Shibaba Shibi'
Today’s the day, I spread my wings
Spread it wide and free Fly out and seek
The secret that lies In every sun ray
Hidden from our eyes In mysterious ways
Spread my wings wide, and fly out, in search of a secret, that lies
In every ray of sunshine hides it in plain sight from our eyes
Old yet new; it’s altogether spellbinding and mysterious
It’s here and there! All around us
Shibaba Shibi
Shibaba
Shibaba Shibi
Shibaba
Shibaba Shibi
Shibaba
Shibaba Shibi
The past sets the stage For the future
Teaching us lessons Of courage and patience
The present is a picture Of joy and contentment
But what tomorrow brings None of us can tell
A gentle coo… A battle cry! The signs can be heard. It’s everywhere.
It’s upon us. Look! This is it!
Shibaba Shibi
So many colours What a wondrous scene
Such a marvel How they sway, jump, and swim
Bursting with life And thriving together
The simple, the clever and the brave.
Perfect harmony Life’s delicate balance
Both a strength and treasure that
Must be preserved For eternity
(LAUGHS)
Shibaba Shibi
Where is Kannan?
Huh!
What?
No!
No, No! Kaveri... No!
I was still very young when my mother passed away.
Sorry. I'm so sad to hear about your mom.
Thank you for waking me up, my friend.
Friend?
Tiger.
Hunters came last night and took my father away.
His life is in danger.
What?
No matter where he is, I must find him and bring him back.
And there is nothing you can do to help me with this in any way.
You're wrong.
You have yet to witness Tiger's true genius, believe me.
What is your name, by the way?
Appu.
Appu, you had eaten blackberry fruit about three days ago.
And that berry tree that you fed on can be found very close to a pond.
Correct?
There is a jasmine garden near the place where you live,
and you have not taken a bath in one...
no, no, no, no, no...
In nearly ten days, it's been that long
Ew!
Wow, can you really tell all of that just by smell?
This is not just any nose, it is a powerful tool, buddy.
And right now, it is telling me that the surest way to reach your Papa
(SNIFFS)
is in this direction.
Come, follow me.
Wait a minute.
Didn't you tell me your friends were going to pick you up?
Uhm
Yes.
Er, don't worry. We still have time.
Shall we go?
Why aren't we taking the road, Tiger?
Short cut!
Just keep on walking!
By the way, all these forests, rivers,
streams, mountains and hills are nice to see.
But there is truly no place like home. So comforting.
The soft sofa…
Ooh! And hot food!
AC, fridge, song and music, party, TV...
(LAUGHS)
Hey, do you know?
[HEAR CAR HONK]
Huh!
Did you hear that sound?
What?
M-m-my car. It must be here somewhere.
Oh! I heard the sound, I'm sure of it.
This place is totally deserted.
Tiger, are we even headed in the right direction?
Listen, bud, my ears may make a mistake, but not my nose.
It is never wrong.
Just keep walking.
Trust me, we're almost there.
There it is.
Come on!
Oh!
My nose is telling me your Papa is on that ship right there.
We'll sneak in from the back.
Tiger, I don't know if I would've ever found this place without your help.
Mmm. Mmm.
Also, it's dangerous here.
[HORN]
I think it’s time for you to go back now.
What? The ship!
Do… do something, Tiger!
Huh?
Okay.
Come on!
Do you know how to use this?
No!
But I've seen it on TV. Get in!
This... Uh?
How do I...?
Appu has disappeared!
I'll go look for him.
No, wait.
Saras,
you must go find out what happened.
All right.
Tiger, hurry up!
Hey! I wanna go home. I can't do this!
Hold on, Tiger!
Water...
Water!
Tiger.
We must get down, come on!
Tiger!
When? Where?
Right now, in the water.
Huh?
Hya!
Hm?
Hm.
What shall we do now?
Tiger, what does your nose say this time?
Smells like fish...?
Octopus.
Jellyfish.
I can't believe this.
That awful ocean has ruined my sense of smell, Appu!
I can't smell anything at all! Nothing!
There's one thing left to do then.
Huh?
Oh, no. We’re dead!
Wait a minute.
[HEAR CAR HONK]
Appu.
Appu!
That car, I am hearing it again! It sounds exactly the same.
So, let's keep walking. Maybe we'll finally see it.
Okay.
Huh?
What?
Huh?
Appu! Appu!
I, I, I… just saw that bush, i-it was mo-moving.
I saw it move, it was moving!
But there is nothing out there.
Ghost?
Put more pressure on it.
Press harder, come on.
I said more pressure!
The cargo is about to arrive, Don.
Huh?
Er...
Huh?
Hey, you girl! Who'll fill up this pitcher, your aunt?
Don't just stand there! Hey!
Go fetch me some water! Go!
Oh, you good-for-nothing!
Ah...
This is a good catch.
This is very good indeed.
I like it. When would you like to start?
Soon.
Very soon.
Water.
We're just going around in circles in the same spot, Tiger!
This is frustrating, I feel like clearing this entire forest!
[Water splashes]
Huh?
Water!
Hey!
Huh?
Don't take another step! Stop right there!
Huh?
Don't go in that direction.
Hm?
Please don't stop me. You don't know anything at all.
Appu, listen to me, the girl can be a big help to us.
Why don't you tell her everything?
After my mother passed away,
my father took care for me and raised me by himself.
But growing up, I was very naughty.
The Black Forest!
Appu, it's very dark out there. It’s creepy.
That's because the real monsters live here, Mitthi.
If there's one thing that they hate most, it's light.
B-but do we really have to enter the Black Forest?
Hm.
Hm?
Sh. Don't be afraid.
I'm right here.
The real monster's cave is just behind that small hill.
Let's go!
Huh?
Hm.
Oh-Whoah!
Woah! Woah!
Appu, what's happening?
Aaah! Aaah!
Monsters!
Monsters.
Run, Mitthi!
That was fun!
Wasn't it?
You think that was fun? Are you for real? We had such a close call with danger!
And you think that was fun?!
Come on! Nothing bad will happen. I'm here for you.
That's what we're afraid of!
But what if the elders find out?
That's not gonna happen, don't worry!
Huh?
Enough!
We've been too calm and patient.
Peace and harmony does not really exist here.
This is a jungle we live in.
To be able to survive a place like this, we must be tough and seize our rights,
instead of just asking for them!
The time has come for us to fight.
There was a time,
when this Upavan was a symbol of peace and harmony for us.
We could go anywhere at any moment in peace.
This forest wasn't just beautiful, it was also safe.
But now… those days are long gone.
Danger has become a way of life here.
And the slightest carelessness could lead to a loss of life.
This is not merely our suspicion, we have...
We paid a very heavy price for it.
But today these three young daredevils,
crossed the border and entered the forbidden land of their own free will.
They put each other's lives in danger, just to go out on an adventure.
Something bad could've happened to you!
You endangered not just yourself,
but your family and the entire Upavan as well.
Appu, I hope you realized your mistake.
Now you have to apologize to everyone here.
Uh…
Tara,
what have you come here for?
I didn't come here to ask you for anything.
But I'm here because I wanted to give you a warning.
Your kids strayed into our territory today.
They caused a lot of damage to our home and then these troublemakers escaped.
If possible, you should talk to your son. Because if you can't, well,
I'm very capable of teaching both children and adults
a lesson, they'll never forget.
Up until now, our herd was well respected
and no one ever dared to humiliate us like this!
You will be punished for what you've done, that's for sure.
Appu, I am ordering you to go into exile for one month, starting today!
He'll be exiled?
Pali, take him away.
At once!
Look after yourself, Appu.
Appu? Appu!
Appu?
Appu!
Papa!
Appu!
Papa!
Papa?
Papa!
How sad! That’s a very depressing story.
Hm.
But I'm determined to find my Papa, no matter what,
and nobody can get in my way!
Listen to me, I know where your father is.
But you can't just go there by yourself, it's impossible.
There are men guarding the whole place!
What is your name?
Neena.
And I used to live with the hunters.
I tried to escape seven times, but it's so hard. I always got caught.
Huh?
But this time there's nothing they could do to stop me, and I escaped!
Eh?
Now you ruined everything!
Hello. I am Tiger.
I am very pleased to have met you, Neena.
Oh, and this is my friend, Appu.
Appu, Neena.
Neena, Appu.
I need some water.
Aah!
Trust me, no one knows this jungle better than I do.
Not even the hunters…
who captured your Papa are familiar with the tracks.
I understand the pain of losing a loved one.
Anyway, you must be hungry.
Huh?
Am I dreaming? Is that really food I see?
That was delicious, Neena, thanks!
I loved it so much!
Appu, you should've had some, it's really good!
Eh, by the way what was it?
It's fried insect.
I have more. Do you want some?
Huh!
Yuck!
Do you see that big hill?
Don's camp lies on the other side of that.
It was his men who caught your Papa and brought him here.
Don?
Yes. He's the most powerful hunter here.
Many years ago, Don used to be the guardian of this forest.
But then as time passed, he turned into a monster.
And now, hunters from all over the world work for him.
The captured animals who are brought here,
they are soon sold to multi-millionaires like Fang.
And this is their horrible fate.
Some of them are kept captive in temples,
and some are used to entertain tourists.
And the ones who they think are no good,
they get rid of by killing them.
Humans satisfy their greed by selling their body parts.
And these living beings are turned into decoration pieces on the wall.
Money literally flows like water for these innocent animals.
Every animal meets the same fate out here.
But I did not let this happen to Titli, no,
she managed to escape.
It has been three months. There is no news of her.
Please could you tell me the way to get to Don?
Uhm,
we are right here.
And your Papa, well, he's here.
There's a cave around this area,
and then there's a large stream just past that.
This is the route we're gonna take.
I got that. Let's go!
Appu! Don't be in such a rush.
If you wish to save your Papa, then
you must listen carefully to what I say
and do exactly as I tell you. This is important.
Uh, Neena is right, Appu.
I just wanna see my Papa once again.
We shall set out as soon as the sun goes down.
Saras is back.
Well, do you have any news?
We found vehicle tracks running along the narrow road.
That's all. We don’t have any other clue.
I think we'd better consult with Thathi.
Thathi…
Thathi isn't looking too well right now.
No one knows about this place. It's very hard to find.
We shall go in there.
You can trust the girl, Appu. I know what I'm talking about.
With just one sniff of my special nose, I can tell if a person's good or bad.
Sorry!
Be quiet!
Sh! Don't do anything in excitement.
Understood?
Papa.
Papa?
We must go back now, Appu. It's dangerous.
Hey!
No!
- No! - No!
No, Appu!
No...
Who's there?!
Huh?
Run! Run!
A-choo!
I can't believe it.
The one quality I possess that I was so proud of, until now.
Oh, my life! And my pride.
It's never failed me before, but today, it has been a total disappointment.
My nose has decided to betray me when I needed it most today.
Appu?
Please, I'm so ashamed, I can't take it anymore.
So please, I want you to use your legs and crush it forever right now.
Tiger, I would like to be alone for a while.
Well, clearly, you haven’t had your fill of
attempting to escape and helping others escape, eh?
Do you know?
Do you even realise the magnitude of damage you have caused me?!
Hm?!
But despite that,
take a look at what I have got for you, eh?
Fully imported. Look!
This time around,
along with him, I will sell you as well, how about that, huh?
Buy one, get one free!
Oh, I'm going to enjoy this…
Oh!
Mmh...
You should be ashamed, Appu!
You're the one responsible for whatever is happening right now. Only you!
We wouldn't have had to witness such a terrible
day if only you had a little bit of self-control!
First, it's Papa. And now, Neena.
You must think yourself one very brave elephant, don't you?
Does that make you happy?
What should I do?
I really have no idea.
Thathi,
how I wish you were here.
I'm right here, Appu.
Tha… Thathi?
Thathi?
But how, how did you get here?
Hey! You are the one who called me?
Besides, I'm your Thathi, right? I can do anything I want. So I'm here.
Thathi!
Thathi, do you know my Papa is here?
We've just been to see him. And I definitely would’ve rescued him,
if not for Tiger. He is always causing trouble.
If he didn’t sneeze loudly.....
Oh, dear! This is what I was afraid of.
But I won’t let anything go wrong this time.
Appu, the task that you have come out
here to do is not an easy one, my dear.
This is where your real courage and strength will be put to the test.
So now, I have a question for you. Do you have that kind of strength in you?
Of course, Thathi! Only I can-
I can't do anything!
Oh, but there is one thing that you can do, dear.
Talk to Tiger, and be friends with him.
He is very sad now.
If it weren't for him, you'd have a hard time finding this place.
Tiger!
Tiger, look who's come to join us.
Thathi!
Er, hello, Thathi!
I am very glad to finally meet you.
Thathi’s here beside me, she's not there, Tiger.
Oh!
Er…
Tell us, Thathi, what should we do?
During tough times like these, you will have
to make a hundred decisions in a minute.
Your ability to think clearly will be your most
valuable tool at that time, so you must use it.
It would be best if you didn't make any decisions in anger or haste,
but rather, you must use the wisdom that you possess.
In the face of daunting danger
Each step is hard to begin
And the world becomes so blurry
Lots of questions that’s unanswered
Wake up, wake up, and rise up
Banish all doubts and uncertainty oh! Toss them to the wind
One step forward, leads the way Destination awaits
Wake up, wake up, and rise up
The power to forge your destiny, hey! Is within your own hands
No one can stop you, find your courage All you need is to start
Find your strength and recognize The voice that’s in your mind
Echoing loud and realize that It’s there for you, oh
Wake up, wake up, and rise up
Oh, all that you dream of Just heed your heart to see
That raging fire, inside you Feel its intensity
Wake up, wake up, and rise up
You will find your way, don’t worry Soon there’ll be a silver lining
Listen to your heart and see The courage in you fulfills your destiny
So when you feel you’re not as tough You can lift your journey’s weight
The light that sparks, the fire that is in you
It’s the key to embrace your fate
Wake up, wake up, and rise up
The fire that is within you
Is your heart’s call to see
Wake up, wake up, hear my plea
Fulfill your destiny
Fang is about to arrive.
Fang is coming!
That's good.
We're also on our way.
Are you ready, Tiger?
This big one here is very stubborn.
It didn't matter, I had so much fun breaking his stubbornness.
That's good. This is my last chance.
I don't want to disappoint Fang, because if I do,
he will destroy me, and I don't want that to happen.
Did you hear me? Do you understand what I'm saying?
Get the groom ready, let's go!
Welcome, Madam! Welcome, welcome!
Hm!
Aw!
Oh!
So sweet!
Thank you, Don!
Welcome, Sir. Welcome, Ma'am. This way, please.
Follow me. Please come in. Come. Come in, come in.
Sir, it makes me very happy whenever you
come and visit us here at the hunter's camp.
You will find lots of animals in every forest, that’s true.
But only Don can give you a five star quality item. Yes!
(LAUGH)
To see is to believe. Fang would rather see for himself.
Last time I was here, I was very
disappointed in what you offered.
So this time…
This time, I've got something very special for you, Sir. You’ll love this for sure!
This animal will get you double the profit, I'm not kidding!
Hm.
If what you say is really true, then I will
also give you double the amount for the animal.
Yes, yes, yes. Yes, of course, Sir.
But if what you say turns out to be a lie,
then you must leave this jungle for good or I’m gonna make you… go away. Understood?
Hm! Yes.
Uh, but..
I mean, yes, yes, of course, Sir. Of course! Yeah.
Bring him here!
Huh?
Uh, well, Sir… This is a special item.
Is he alive, or is he already dead?
He's just a little bit stressed.
He's not used to seeing a lot of people.
But he's very powerful, Sir.
First, he shall work hard at the temple, then later on, he can be a great addition
to the palace décor. Double, double!
When the diamond is already in plain sight,
why then, are you still showing me the rock?
Huh?
Sir, I'm not sure I get what you mean.
I'm saying… I have no interest in this lifeless thing.
It's too much trouble to take the animal back with me.
Appu! Where are you?
Now this, this is all I want. The ivory.
But, but brother Fang, the circus people will
pay a huge amount for him!
Sh!
Get rid of this thing… right now.
Please, think it over first. Just keep a cool head, Sir.
There is no hurry. There is no hurry!
Huh?
You are very powerful, Appu.
But you must use your wisdom to turn your power into your strength.
Once you're able to do that, there is nothing you cannot do.
Shoot.
Huh!
Huh?
Hm?
Huh?
What's this? Where did he come from?
Hey! You go and catch her! Catch her!
Stop right there!
Don't you dare touch him, I am warning you!
Aw!
My Chotu!
Ah?
Huh?
What is the matter with him?
Hey, what's happening, what's happening?!
Hey, you two, dance properly!
And keep dancing! Let's party!
Well, how do I look?
What's going on here, Tiger?
Nice, huh?
Argh!
Hey! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!
What happened?
Well, I…
- I don't have the key to this! - Ugh!
Oh, oh, right, right.
Keys! Keys! Keys! Keys!
Uh, the keys are right there!
Everybody dance!
Ta-da!
It doesn't have seat belts.
Ready!
Do you know how to drive a truck?
I don't! Hold on tight, Tiger!
Oh, no! Stop! Stop! Please stop!
The truck won't stop!
Appu! Do something!
Appu.
It was all my fault, Papa.
Now what?
Huh?
Do you have a plan B?
I don't
Huh? Er.
Eh?
But how will the four of us fit into this small boat?
Not four, but five!
Huh?
Ghost!
Huh!
Huh?
Titli.
Titli!
Titli! It’s really you! You're alive!
You're…?
[gun shot]
The men are coming from that direction.
I made sure I blocked all the roads, but then they are using the waterway now.
Let's go!
I don't know how to operate this!
Neena, turn the key to the left!
Then push the red button, the third one from the top!
Okay, now, there's a lever right in front of you, pull it towards yourself!
What?
It's not working!
Try pulling again,
use more force!
Hm?
Hey, how do I make this move?
The lever! There’s a lever there!
I found it!
Good! Now push it upwards.
Done!
Stop that boat!
Hey, guys, get down!
They're firing at us, everyone duck!
Go faster, Neena! Go faster!
I can't make this boat move any faster!
The load is way too heavy!
Oh. Well, should I get off?
There's no need. Thanks anyway.
No! Please don't shoot!
Hmph!
All right! That's the spirit, Ma'am!
Hey, just shoot all of them, will ya? Kill them!
Let's go!
There's a great strength that lies within all of us
that's just waiting to be unleashed.
Now wake it up. Wake it up, Appu!
Yeah! We got all of them!
Yeah! Good job! Bravo, Appu!
But how did you do that Appu?
It was very easy, Papa!
Shall we do it once again… together?
Ho-ho!
The storm has passed.
The world is calm.
Light is all around us.
The storm has passed.
The world is calm.
Light is all around us.
Soft and warm It brings joy in its wake.
Soft and warm the caress of the sun
Happiness the caress of the sun
Soft and warm the caress of the sun
Happiness the caress of the sun
The storm has passed.
The world is calm
Light is all around us
The happiness is all around us
You all better pay attention to what I'm saying.
Starting today, the entire Upavan will be under my command, is that understood?
I'll be the one giving orders! You must all do as I say.
I'm giving you three days, is that clear?
Only three days!
Then after that, I don't wanna see your herd
anywhere around here. This place is ours now!
But where shall our herd go Tara?
Nowhere.
No one has to go anywhere.
You're also not going anywhere, Tara.
Are you challenging my authority, little one?
No. I'm not challenging you. I brought you something…
Ma!
Oh, my child! My dear child! My darling baby…
Listen to me! No one has to leave this forest.
Nobody…
Nobody...
Well done, son! If only Kaveri was here…
I couldn't have done anything without their help.
Thank you, my friends.
- [Horn] - Huh?
Hey... Tiger... I hear the same vehicle again.
- Hmm. - Did you hear it?
No.
