"Jungle Scout Adventure."
Hey, Samson!
Sh!
[whispers] I'm trying to get Rocky
to take a nap.
[giggles, whispers] Oh, sorry.
Okay, Rocky. Time to close your eyes
and go to sleep.
-Go on, close 'em!
-[lullaby playing]
[nearby voice] Roar.
Sh, Horton! We gotta be quiet.
That wasn't me.
That sounded like…
Leo!
[sadly] Roar.
Hey, Leo, what's wrong?
Well, you know how I'm a Jungle Scout?
Uh-huh. You've got tons of badges.
Yeah, but there's one badge I don't have,
the Adventure Badge.
And today's the last day to get it!
Well, how do you get an Adventure Badge?
I have to go on an adventure
and get three things.
A flower from the Prickle Patch,
a berry from the Tizzle Tree,
and a gem from the Crystal Cave.
What?! But the Prickle Patch is so thorny!
And the Tizzle Tree is so high!
And the Crystal Cave is so… so… cavey.
There's absolutely no way
anyone could do it.
-[Horton coughs quietly]
-I mean…
…you totally got this, Leo.
[chuckles] Easy.
I don't know.
I'm too scared to go by myself.
[Leo sighs sadly]
Leo, I hear you, and I can help.
We'll come with you to get your badge.
You will?
Elephant's Honor.
And Bird's Word.

We are gonna help! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da ♪
We are gonna help! ♪
You don't need to worry ♪

-Hurry! ♪
La-da-da-da, da-da-da ♪
We are gonna help! ♪
Okay, Leo, give us your bravest roar.
Um, okay.
[softly] Roar.
You know what? We'll work on that.
First stop, the Prickle Patch.
Adventure Badge, here we come!
Oh, an Adventure Badge?
We need one. Right, Lindy Laroo?
It would look so cutie
on my little kangarootie.
Good thing I know a shortcut
to the Prickle Patch. Let's hop!
Aha! The Prickle Patch!
These flowers are all ours, Lindy.
Just like that Adventure Badge. [laughs]
Oh, there's one more back there.
[grunting]
[yelps] Thorns.
Oh well, guess no one else
can reach it either.
Bad for them, but goody-goody for me.
[yelps] Ouchie!
The Prickle Patch. We're here!
Yep. Now all you gotta do is get a flower.
[Leo] Hmm.
Oh.
I only see one.
But it's surrounded by thorns!
You can't pick that, Leo.
You'll prick your precious paws.
[breathes deeply]
There's only one way to get it. Here I go.
[gasps]
[yelps, groans]
Nope, still can't fly.
Welp, that's it. Adventure over.
There's no way to get that flower.
[Horton] Hmm.
Maybe there is a way.
Huh?
Lower!
[Samson grunts]
Lowering!
Okay, Leo.
Climb down and grab that flower.
Well, I don't know if I can do it.
You got this. Just go slow.
-[vine creaking]
-Or fast! Fast is good too!
[breathes deeply] Okay.
I can do this.
-Ah! I got it!
-Woo-hoo!
-Um, guys, small problem.
-[vine creaking]
[wails] The vine's gonna break!
Hang on, Leo. We've gotta swing for it!
You're not gonna make it.
Oh, you're not gonna make it!
[Horton grunts]
[Horton, Leo] Whoa!
-Yeah!
-Yay!
Oh yeah, I knew you'd make it.
And look, I got the flower!
Flower? Check.
Next, you gotta get a berry
from the Tizzle Tree.
Roar! Let's do it!
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
[Jane] Ugh, finally. The Tizzle Tree!
[laughs, grunts]
Ha! All the berries for me
and nobody else.
Hey! Bad tree.
[Samson] Look, there's the Tizzle Tree!
But where are the berries?
[Leo gasps] Oh no, they're all gone!
Wait, there's one left. Up there!
We'll never reach it.
Maybe there's something
in the backpack that can help.
Flashlight?
[Leo giggles]
Toothbrush?
Balloon?
[Samson] Oh, that's mine.
Yeah, I've been practicing
my balloon animals.
Hi, I'm Rory the lion.
[giggles]
[giggles]
[gasps] Oops.
[air whooshing]
Excuse you.
That wasn't me!
[suspicious] Mm-hmm.
[air whooshes, squeaks]
[gasps] Samson,
are you thinking what I'm thinking?
That I should make a balloon Samson next?
Not exactly.
Oh, well, as long as you're not thinking
we should ride a balloon rocket.
[laughs nervously] Oh.
-Yup.
-Wait, what?
No! Horton, I was kidding.
That'll never work.
Ready for liftoff! Hit it, Leo.
-[air whooshing]
-[cheering]
It's working!
[Samson] Of course it's working.
I'm a genius!
Grab the berry, Leo.
Uh, me?
You can do it!
Okay, I can do it!
[Leo grunts]
-I did it!
-[balloon squeaks]
Going down!
-Whoa!
-Hang on!
Woo-hoo!
-Yes!
-Yeah!
We got it!
Berry, check.
Woo-hoo!
-Roar!
-[Samson yelps, laughs]
Nice roar, Leo.
Now all you need is a gem
from the Crystal Cave. Come on.

-Let's go find that gem.
Too late, Beezlenut brains.
I got the last gem.
And I can't wait to get
my Adventure Badge.
[gasps] Oopsie!
-Jane!
-The gem!
Oh no!
It's okay. It's okay. Everything's fine.
We'll just climb down and get it
when it lands…
in a stampede of yaks?!
Oh no! We'll never get it now!
Welp, I'm outta here.
Whoa! [grunts]
I meant to do that!
I need that gem to get my badge.
But the gem is literally
running away from us.
Then we have to catch it.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
Come on!
Leo, we're gonna get you
that Adventure Badge, no matter what.
[shouts] Excuse me!
Hi! Could we catch a ride?
-You betcha.
-Sure thing. Hop on.
Thanks!
Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
-Jump on three?
-Yes.
One, two, three…
-Jump!
-[Samson wails]
Wait!
You can do it, Leo! You're brave!
I'm brave.
I'm brave. [gasps]
I'm brave!
Whoa!
-Wow, I did it!
-Yeah!
Woo-hoo!
The gem's up there!
Okay, gem, here I come.
[whistles] Heads up, y'all.
Little lion comin' through.
Thanks! [grunting]
Hi!
How's it goin'?
Nice hair.
-Almost there!
-Go, Leo!
[Leo grunting]
Hi. Hello.
Got it!
-Woo-hoo!
-Yeah!
Great job, Leo!
Now let's hurry back
so you can get your Adventure Badge.
Hey, I'm a Jungle Scout too.
I'll take you there.
Congratulations.
You earned
this Bubblegum Blowing Badge, Bailey.
Aw, looks like no one got
the Adventure Badge today.
[Leo] Roar!
I did. I got everything, see?
[Leo giggles]
Nice job, Jungle Scout.
This Adventure Badge is…
…all yours!
[groans]
Yay!
-Yeah!
-Good job!
-Well done!
-Hooray!
Thanks for helping me get my badge!
I can't believe it's really real.
[giggles] Aw. We'll go
on an adventure with you any day, Leo.
-[loudly] Roar!
-[Samson wails]
Now that was a roar! [laughs]
[laughing]
"Flower Power."
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
-Whoa!
-[gasps] Uh-oh.
-[Samson wails]
-Samson?
-I'm up here!
-Oh!
Wow, Horton!
That was ten whole seconds!
Yeah! My longest trunk balance ever!
-[soft crying]
-Hey, do you hear that?
-[Marvin sniffles]
-Marvin? What's wrong?
Oh. Hi, Horton. Hi, Samson.
I'm sad 'cause I can't fly.
And all my siblings can. See?
-[bird 1] Race ya!
-[bird 2] Check out this loop!
They're having so much fun without me.
I know how you feel. I can't fly either.
Unless…
[Samson grunts]
[gasps] Whoa!
Nope, still can't fly.
Everyone says I gotta keep trying,
but I've been trying and trying!
[Marvin grunts]
[groans] I just can't do it.
Don't give up, Marvin.
There has to be a way that you can fly.
Sounds like you need
a magic flying flower.
-A magic flying flower?
-What's that?
[all] It's magical!
There's a magic flying flower
at the tippy-top of Tippy Top Mountain.
And whoever holds it can fly!
That's it! That's what I need!
I'll finally get to fly
with my whole family!
But I'm too little
to go to Tippy Top Mountain all alone.
Marvin, I hear you, and I can help.
Samson and I will take you
to Tippy Top Mountain
so you can get that magic flying flower.
[gasps] You will?
Elephant's Honor.

Magic flying flower, here we come!
[gasps] A magic flying flower?
We need that!
Come on, Lindy Laroo.
We're gonna get that flower first.
[sing-song] 'Cause I know a shortcut!
[laughs]
Whoa! [grunts]
[groans]
I meant to do that!
It's this way!
Huh? Lindy, who put
these thorny bushes in our way?
Oh, look! We can swing across.
Then those mean bushes won't poke you,
my cutie kangarootie.
Ha! Take that, thorns!
[grunts] There!
Now nobody can get
that magic flying flower but us.
Bad for them, but goody-goody for me!
[yelps]
Thorns!
Owie, owie, ow!
Um, Horton, I think we took a wrong turn
at the Marmeloo Tree
and ended up in Thorn City.
Don't worry. We just have to think
of a way to get past these thorny bushes.
Yeah, 'cause I need that flower.
I can't fly without it. See?
[Marvin grunts]
It's hopeless. Hopeless!
-The kid's got a point.
-Hmm.
Maybe there's something in the backpack
that can help.
Pom-poms,
rope,
and traffic cones?
Hey, maybe we could use them somehow.
Pssh! What are we gonna do?
Make stilts out of traffic cones
to walk over the thorny bushes?
Ooh, Samson, great idea!
-Whoa!
-[Samson yelps]
I can't look!
Hang on!
The stilts are working!
Of course they are!
-Whoa.
-Whoa. I'm a genius!
Now all we gotta do
is get to the other side. [giggles]
You know what? This isn't so bad.
And what a view!
-Whoa!
-Whoa!
[Samson wails, grunts]
-I got you, buddy!
-Oh, you saved my beak.
We're almost there.
[grunts] Huh?
[grunts] Oh no!
I think the stilt is stuck! [grunts]
Stuck?
Uh-oh.
Don't panic, Marvin.
This is no time for "uh-oh."
[Horton grunts]
-Whoa!
-Uh-oh!
What do we do?!
I'm gonna hop for it. Hold on tight!
[all] Whoa!
One more big jump!
Yeah!
-We made it!
-Go, Horton!
Hooray!
Later, thorns!
-[Horton] Woo-hoo!
-[Jane yelps]
They're catching up, Lindy. We gotta hop.
[grunts, groans]
Who put that tree there?
-[buzzing]
-Uh-oh.
Phew.
[Horton hums happily]
-[faint buzzing]
-Uh, what's that noise?
Hmm. Could be the soothing sound
of a babbling brook,
or it could be…
[gasps] …angry bees!
[yells] Run!
[Samson, Horton shrieking]
Why are those bees so angry?
I don't know! [panting]
[all sigh]
[all shriek]
Look! A broken beehive!
That's why the bees are angry.
They need a new home!
And I think we've found one.
Come on! We gotta lead the bees there!
Hurry, Horton! They're catching up!
[Horton panting, grunting]
Wanna move in here?
Check out these views, am I right?
Aw, you're welcome.
[all sigh]
[gasps] Look! Tippy Top Mountain!
[Samson] We have to climb
to the top of that?
-We'll never make it!
-But we've got to!
I really, really wanna fly!
[Marvin grunts]
-Whoa!
-[Horton] Gotcha!
Don't worry, Marvin. We can do this.

Even helpers need a little help sometimes.
I really hope
the magic flying flower works.
Wait, where is the flower?
I don't see it.
The only thing up here is a mountain goat
with incredible balance.
[goat bleats]
[gasps] There it is!
The flower!
But how are we gonna get over there?
We can't!
If we had the magic flying flower,
we could fly over there.
But without it, there's no way!
Samson's right. There's no way!
[sniffles] I'll never be able to fly.
Marvin, we can't quit now.
I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant.
I promised to help 100%.
We're gonna get you to that flower.
We just need to think.
-[goat bleats]
-[Horton gasps]
Wow, he really does have
incredible balance.
[gasps] Hey, maybe that's how
we can get to that flower.
By balancing!
[Samson] You're gonna walk across that?
Yep, it'll be easy.
Whoa.
Oh, I can't look!
Hey, I'm doing it!
-Whoa!
-[gasping]
I'm okay!
-[Horton grunts]
-[Samson sighs]
[grunts softly]
Whoa. Whoa!
-Samson, you've gotta see this!
-[Samson gasps]
The trunk balance!
That's your best one yet, Horton!
Glad we practiced.
[grunting]
-Hooray!
-All right!
Horton, the rope!
-Oh no!
-[Samson gasps]
[Horton] Whee!
Ah! [laughs]
All right!
-Yippee!
-Woo-hoo!
[sighs] That was a closey.
I thought you were a goner.
I'm okay! And look,
I got the magic flying flower!
But the rope is broken!
You're stuck there forever!
If you had the magic flying flower,
you could fly back!
Wait a minute.
You do have
the magic flying flower! [laughs]
But what if it doesn't work?
There's only one way to find out.
-Hup!
-[Samson and Marvin yelp]
[Horton] Woo-hoo!
Go, Horton!
Yeah!
-This is great!
-Yippee!
-You did it!
-That was amazing!
I can't believe it! The flower works!
Okay, I'm ready to fly!
Thanks for getting my flower.
Now you can watch me
and Lindy Laroo fly away! Toodles!
[grunts]
Hey! [yelps]
-Whoa!
-[Jane wails]
Whoa-oa-oa! [yelps]
Lindy! Save yourself!
[Jane wails]
Gotcha!
Oh, don't worry, Lindy Windy. Mama's okay.
Well, bye!
Um, Jane? Don't you have something to say?
What?
Oh, uh, Lindy Laroo says,
"Thanks for saving me, Horton."
[slowly] Ahem.
And?
[Jane groans]
And… I'm sorry
for taking the flying flower.
-[both gasp]
-The flower! Where is it?
Oh, no! Gotta save it!
Marvin!
Oh, no, he's gone! Gone!
I'll never hear
his cute little voice again.
Never hear him say--
I'm right here, Samson.
Exactly. He'll never say that again.
Wait a minute. Marvin?
I'm okay! But I couldn't get the flower.
And now I'll never be able to fly.
Never ever ever.
But Marvin, you are flying.
I am?
I am! I can fly! Whee!
-Woo-hoo!
-Awesome!
I'm so proud.
All that trying really paid off.
-Yippee!
-Woo-hoo!
Whoosh!
-[bird 1] Yeah!
-[bird 2] Yay, Marvin!
[bird 3] I knew you could do it!
[Samson] Hey, look! I can fly too!
-With a little help from my friend.
-[all laughing]
I'll always be here to give you a boost.
[laughing]
