00:00Termites.
00:01Peanuts.
00:02Termites.
00:03Peanuts.
00:04Termites.
00:05Look, Turk.
00:06You're not going to convince me that termites taste better than peanuts.
00:07And you can forget convincing me that peanuts taste better than termites.
00:08No, I can't.
00:09And why is that?
00:10Because I'm an elephant.
00:11And elephants...
00:12Never forget.
00:13Fine, fine.
00:14Look, let's just agree to disagree on this one, all right?
00:15Agreed.
00:16It's a deal.
00:17I mean, there are so many tasty alternatives in the jungle.
00:36For example...
00:37Honey.
00:38Oh, yeah.
00:39Honey's a good one.
00:40And then there's...
00:41Mmm.
00:42No.
00:43Honey.
00:44I said, mmm.
00:45This honey is sweet.
00:46Want some?
00:47Turk, don't you think that maybe the bees might get a wee bit upset about you eating
00:51all that honey?
00:52Oh, bees.
00:53What are they going to do to me?
00:54Sting me?
00:55Ow!
00:56Ow!
00:57I cut it out!
00:58That hurts!
00:59Get it off!
01:00Get it off!
01:01Get it off!
01:02Get it off!
01:03Calm down.
01:04Hold still.
01:05How can I hold still when stinging death is raining down upon me?
01:07Well, the important thing is he didn't overreact.
01:13Ow!
01:14Ow!
01:15Ow!

02:19Ow!
02:20Ow!
02:21It's sorry!
02:22It's really scary!
02:23Wow, he really thought he could actually help us!
02:24Ah!
02:25Ow!
02:26Ow!
02:27Ow!
02:28Ow!
02:29Ow!
02:30Ow!
02:31Ow!
02:32Ow!
02:33Run!
02:35Run!
02:47Hey! The lagoon is clearly marked!
02:49No diving!
02:53So it is.
02:55You guys aren't angry, are you?
03:04Tantor, what happened?
03:06Well, let's see.
03:08First there was the stinging, then the falling, then the bouncing,
03:11and then the splashing, and the spitting, and now the explaining.
03:14Yeah, I think that pretty much sums it up.
03:17I'm not sure I follow it, but it sounds like you're lucky to be alive.
03:21Lucky? You call that lucky? I almost died!
03:25Oh, it wasn't luck, Mr. Tantor. It was the all-seeing elephant.
03:30Now, Jabari, don't bother Mr. Tantor with that.
03:33But it was, Mom! It was!
03:36The all-seeing elephant, did you say?
03:39Yeah, the all-seeing elephant lives on Mount Indigo.
03:42That's where he watches over all the elephants.
03:46But I've never even heard of this all-seeing elephant.
03:50It's a legend from the savannah.
03:52Oh, well, I don't get out that way too often.
03:55I'm kind of a, you know, sort of a whole body.
03:58So, Jabari, tell me more about this all-seeing elephant.
04:02Well, you never have to fear Mr. Tantor, because he protects us all.
04:07Now, that's nice. It's about time we had...
04:10Wait a minute, Jabari. You fear all the time.
04:14Well, the all-seeing elephant might blink and miss something.
04:18But statistically speaking, he has a very good track record.
04:22I wonder if this all-seeing elephant fellow was protecting me.
04:26That is the biggest pile of bupkis I've ever heard.
04:30And if there weren't miners present, I'd use harsher language.
04:36I'm quite inclined to agree.
04:38I mean, really, a mystical all-seeing elephant, preposterous.
04:42I seem to recall some similar words about Mangani, the silver ape.
04:46Oh, you just had to bring that up, didn't you?
04:49Don't tell me you believe this all-seeing elephant stuff too.
04:53Well, I wouldn't go that far.
04:55Why not?
04:56Why not? What a dopey question.
04:59I'll tell you why not.
05:01Because there's, you know, no such thing as an all-seeing elephant.
05:06You know, so, there.
05:08My, what a compelling argument.
05:10Ah, give it a rest.
05:12Look, Turk, I'm not saying there is an all-seeing elephant,
05:15and I'm not saying there isn't.
05:17I'm just saying it's a possibility.
05:19And I'm just saying it's a possibility
05:21you are the most gullible elephant in the jungle.
05:24Well, there's no need to turn this personal.
05:30Hit the dog!
05:48I'm alive?
05:51I'm alive!
05:53And you know who I owe it all to?
05:55Do you, do you?
05:56Here it comes.
05:57The all-seeing elephant!
06:00Tantor, listen to yourself.
06:02Turk, leave him alone.
06:03No, no, someone needs to say it.
06:06Grow up, Tantor.
06:07There is no all-seeing elephant.
06:10It's a children's story.
06:11Give it up!
06:13Says you.
06:15What nerve.
06:17There's no all-seeing elephant.
06:18As if she knows.
06:20How could she have known?
06:21All-seeing elephant.
06:22Give it up.
06:23I'll tell you.
06:24I'll give it up, all right.
06:25I'm going to show her.
06:26Tantor, what are you doing?
06:28I'm going to the top of Mount Endigo.
06:30Right now?
06:31He's delusional.
06:32Do not mock me!
06:34I'm going to prove he exists by going up there.
06:36Do you mind if I come, too?
06:38Absolutely not, Tarzan.
06:39The more, the merrier.
06:40Anyone else?
06:42Uh, yes.
06:43Tarzan, I'm not quite sure.
06:46I don't expect to truly meet any all-seeing elephant,
06:49but a nice hike is always welcome, eh?
06:51How about you, Turk?
06:52Oh, can't you handle the truth?
06:55Oh, I can handle the truth.
06:57Can you?
06:58You bet.
06:59Then let's get a move on.
07:01Let's do.
07:05Well, he certainly will fire it up.
07:07Indeed.
07:08Yeah, well, the river will put out his fire,
07:10and then it's back to being the old petrified pachyderm.
07:20Huh?
07:23Oh, boy.
07:26Huh, Bernie?
07:27Looks like this pilgrimage ended in record time.
07:30If your all-seeing elephant wanted you to visit,
07:32he should have made a way for you to get across, Tantor.
07:40Eh, don't worry about it, buddy.
07:42Just admit that I was...
07:44Admit that I was...
07:56It's breaking!
08:09Tantor, grab this.
08:14You missed!
08:33I'll be dipped in quicksand.
08:39I made it!
08:40Did you see? Did you...
08:41Oh, well, of course you saw.
08:42That tree fell just so I could grab it.
08:44How about that, Turk?
08:45You still doubt the all-seeing elephant is watching over me?
08:48This proves nothing.
08:50Except maybe that you're incredibly lucky.
08:53Well, you can tell that to the old A.S.E. when we get to the peak.
08:57You coming or not?
08:59We're choosing not, right?
09:01Tantor, those thunderclouds look quite foreboding.
09:08Perhaps we should turn back, eh?
09:10Daddy may have a point, Tantor.
09:12Well, you guys can turn back,
09:15but I'm on a mission to meet the all-seeing elephant,
09:19and nothing's going to stop me.
09:32We can't let him go alone.
09:34Yes, he'll need our help.
09:36Then we follow Tantor.
09:38Agreed.
09:41Curse my desperate need to prove I'm right and then gloat.
09:49I've never seen anything like it.
09:51There's not a trace of the old timid Tantor.
09:54He's absolutely sure of himself.
09:56Why shouldn't he be?
09:57Because, well, you know.
10:00You don't believe in the all-seeing elephant.
10:03In a word, no.
10:05Do you?
10:07I don't know, but I believe in Tantor.
10:11What?
10:16Did you hear that?
10:20Do you know what that means?
10:22Why, yes.
10:23It means that opposing electric charges in the clouds
10:25have created lightning,
10:26which has superheated the air,
10:28forcing it to expand with such force that...
10:30Oh, that's the all-seeing elephant saying,
10:32come on, guys, keep going.
10:36Really?
10:37See, I think it's the all-seeing elephant saying,
10:39I gotta get wet.
10:42Oh, and this whole trip is silly.
10:45Because I don't exist.
10:55I think you made him mad.
10:57Well, you know what?
10:58I don't care.
10:59I'm tired and hungry and I want to go home.
11:02What do you think of that?
11:03Yeah?
11:04Oh, yeah?
11:05Well, try this exercise.
11:10There.
11:11That'll teach you to rumble at me,
11:13you non-existent elephant.
11:24Quick, this way.
11:34Tantor!
11:35Not Tarzan, it's too late.
11:51Oh, please, please be all right.
12:04Am I dead?
12:07That was absolutely astounding.
12:09Where's Turk?
12:15Turk?
12:16Turk?
12:17Where are you?
12:19There you are.
12:21It's all right, Turk, it's safe now.
12:34I don't think continuing is a good idea.
12:37Yes, we've been terribly lucky so far,
12:39but this trip is just too dangerous.
12:43And that storm is looking worse.
12:45I'm sorry, Tantor,
12:46but I'm afraid today is not the day to climb Mount Endigo.
12:52Maybe you're right.
12:53Come on, let's go home.
12:56Go home?
12:57Tantor can't go home.
12:59He can't go home.
13:00If my dearest, bestest buddy,
13:02who saved my life,
13:03wants to see an all-seeing elephant,
13:05then buckle up,
13:06because by golly,
13:07he's going to see an all-seeing elephant.
13:09Actually, Turk,
13:10I bet it was the all-seeing elephant himself who saved us.
13:13You know what, buddy?
13:14Whatever you say.
13:15Whatever I...
13:16Are you saying that you believe?
13:19Sure, why not?
13:20Now, go on, you big lug.
13:22You go see that all-seeing elephant.
13:24I'm right behind you all the way.
13:30Okay, token.
13:31Thanks, pal.
13:39Hey, there's no all-seeing elephant up there, is there?
13:43I fear not.
13:45So Tantor's going to be crushed, right?
13:52Almost assuredly.
13:54Also now than ever.
13:57Oops.
14:02Tantor's going to crack like a coconut.
14:05He'll be crushed.
14:09Wait a minute.
14:11I have an idea.
14:12It may be ridiculous and even ill-advised,
14:14but it's our only hope.
14:16I'll take it.
14:17Good.
14:18Turk, catch up with Tantor.
14:19Stall him.
14:20I don't care how you do it,
14:21just slow him down.
14:22Yes, ma'am.
14:24Daddy, Tarzan, I need your help.
14:30What are you going to do?
14:31Maybe we can give Tantor just what he's looking for.
14:34But we're going to have to hurry.
14:47Are you sure that was a shortcut?
14:50Tarzan, where did you come from?
14:53I just came up the trail.
14:58Is he here?
15:00I don't know, Tantor.
15:02Maybe you should call his name.
15:04Hello, all-seeing elephant.
15:10Tantor, welcome.
15:13I've been expecting you.
15:16I've been expecting you.
15:19I mean, of course I have.
15:22After all, I am the all-seeing elephant.
15:33It's him.
15:37I knew you'd be here.
15:39Right.
15:40Well, yes.
15:41Here I am.
15:43Well, Tantor.
15:45Daddy, what are you doing?
15:54Is there something I can do for you before you leave,
15:59never to return?
16:01I was thinking,
16:03maybe you don't have to watch over me anymore.
16:07Really, Tantor?
16:09It's not that I don't appreciate it.
16:11It's just that, you know,
16:13if you didn't watch over me,
16:14you'd have time to watch over my friends,
16:16like my best pal Turk,
16:18who isn't an elephant.
16:20Oh, that is so very sweet.
16:22Pardon me?
16:24I mean, I will watch your friends, Tantor,
16:28and I will watch over you.
16:30Oh, thank you.
16:31Thank you, all-seeing elephant.
16:34Yes.
16:35From Africa to Andalusia,
16:38Britain to Borneo,
16:40from Canada to the Carpathian Mountains,
16:43I'll watch over everyone
16:45from the lowly aardvark
16:47to the majestic zebra.
16:50Anywhere an animal yearns to breathe free,
16:54that's where you'll find me.
16:56I am elephant.
16:58Hear me roar!
17:00Or trumpet, or whatever us elephants do.
17:05Jane, darling?
17:07Janey?
17:08Just a moment, Father.
17:09I'm doing quite well here.
17:31Oh, Tantor, I'm so sorry.
17:34It's just that you'd come so far, and I...
17:36I just couldn't bear to see you disappointed, buddy.
17:39Just... just leave me alone.
17:46Well, at least he's headed toward home.
17:48Smart boy.
17:49This storm is going to get worse.
17:55I think he's just dead.
18:06Oh, no!
18:24Tantor!
18:27Tantor!
18:31Oh, no!
18:32Oh, no! I'm coming, guys!
18:37Oh, no!
18:42Don't stop it!
19:07Hey.
19:09We can't keep this up.
19:12Tantor, stop!
19:15All right.
19:17What?
19:32Will you look at that.
19:34Good. Good. Very good.
19:36Oh, thank you. Thank you.
19:39Yes.
19:41You saved us, buddy.
19:43Oh, no.
19:44It wasn't me.
19:48What are you talking about?
19:50You knocked down a tree and...
19:52No, I didn't.
19:53He did.
20:00Will I be?
20:02Is it possible?
20:04He's watching us.
20:07He always was.
20:14Oh, no.
