Tutu and Zef

Tutu and Zef are the main protagonists in the 2006 film Elephant Tales.
==Role in the film==
Tutu and Zef are first seen having fun together, including chasing a zebra. Just then, their mother calls them back to the herd. Tutu promises to never leave their mother. That night, Tutu goes to search for Zef, who had wandered off. He encounters a group of poachers (which the animals call "Badness"), who track down his herd and kills them (though Tutu only sees the flares and hears the gunshot). Zef returns, and gets Tutu to safety. Not wanting to break his brother's heart, Zef lies to Tutu that the flashing lights and loud noises were a rainbow that took their mother and the entire herd into the sky. 
The two elephants then start a journey, with Tutu determined to find the rainbow and reunite with their mother, while Zef is insistent that they find another herd. Soon, they meet Chump, a chimpanzee who believes himself to be the king of the jungle, and allow him to join their journey. At one point, Zef loses his temper with Tutu, calling him stupid and letting him wander off alone. He and Chump then encounter a young giraffe named Stretch, who also lost her mother, and she joins them. Meanwhile, Tutu follows a herd of cattle who save him from being eaten by a crocodile to a human village, and tries to free them from their paddock, believing them to be trapped, not realizing that the cattle are content with their lives. After breaking the fence, Tutu leaves, depressed that his good intentions had caused trouble. That same night, as Chump sleeps, Zef regrets calling Tutu stupid and letting him wander off alone, and Stretch consoles him.
Meanwhile, after encountering a vegetarian vulture, Tutu finds a trail of candy, which he believes to be pieces of the rainbow. He then catches Zef's scent and tries to reunite with him, but Zef gets caught in one of the badness' traps and is taken to their camp. Tutu, Chump, and Stretch follow. Upon reaching the camp, Chump frees Zef and many other animals, including a lion cub that joins them on their journey. The five friends then continue their search for a new family. Eventually, though, Cub is separated from the group, which causes Zef to tell Tutu the truth about what happened to their mother. This also makes Chump and Stretch realize that their mothers (and Cub's) suffered the same fate. 
The next morning, the friends try to turn the tables on the badness. It at first seems to be a losing battle, but Cub's return bolsters their confidence, and they defeat the badness once and for all. Tutu then leads the others to where the rainbow ends: an orphanage. There, they make their new home, and Tutu and Zef are adopted by an elephant named Ella.
==Personality==
Tutu, being the much younger one, is much more naive than his brother, easily believing much of what he is told, as evidenced when he easily believes Zef's story about losing their mother to a rainbow throughout the film. Despite this, he has a very good heart, and is willing to accept others, as he readily invites Chump, the chimpanzee to join them in their search for their homes.
Zef is much more mature than his brother, and perhaps a bit more I'll-tempered, as seen when he loses his patience with Tutu, at one point in the film. He is described by their late mother that, he "wants to be grown up overnight. However, in spite of all this, he loves Tutu very much, as he is very protective of him, warning him of danger. He also jumps at the chance of bonding with his brother, since it is said that they enjoy chasing zebras with each other.
