The Mbali Fields Migration/Transcript

Ono:
(Ono flies and sees the rest of the lion guard) Everyone, everyone!
Beshte:
What's the ker-bubble, Ono?
Ono:
There's trouble with the zebras!
Fuli:
Oh, what else is new?
Ono:
And the gazelles!
(Fuli makes a surprised face)
Kion:
The zebras and the gazelles are in trouble?
Ono:
No, they are the trouble! They're fighting each other!
Beshte:
Zebras and gazelles don't fight.
Bunga:
You seein' okay, Ono? Look. (Bunga puts up his fingers) How many fingers?
Ono:
I know what I saw!
Kion:
If the zebras and gazelles really are fighting, we better check it out. Till the Pride Lands end...
All:
Lion Guard defend!
(Swala and Muhimu's herd are seen fighting each other)
(Excited Whines)
Swala:
(Grunting)
(The Lion Guard walks up to a hill and watches the fight)
Fuli:
So weird. I've never seen zebras and gazelles act like this.
Beshte:
Hey, wait. I know these herds! (Looking at Muhimu's herd) Those zebras follow Muhimu. (Looking at Swala's herd) And the gazelles follow Swala. But Muhimu and Swala are friends!
Kion:
Something's not right. Ono! Can you see Muhimu and Swala?
Ono:
Affirmative! Looks like they're in the middle of everything.
Kion: 
Then that's where we're going! Come on!
Bunga:
Let's move, zebra-deebras! Black with white stripes on one side. (Bunga pushes the zebras) White with black stipes on the other!
Beshte:
Scuse me, guys. I think I can handle this. "Twende kiboko!" (Beshte pushes through the crowd)
Zebra:
Whoa!
Bunga:
Thanks, Beshte. Uh-oh!
(Muhimu neighs and sits on Bunga)
Bunga:
Wha... Uh, hello?
Fuli:
Uh. That's gotta hurt.
Swala:
(Laughs) Nice move, Muhimu!
Muhimu:
What do you mean, nice move? You pushed me! (Muhimu gets up)
Swala:
So? What are you going to do about it? (Grunting)
Bunga:
(Bunga stands up) I know whose side I'm on.
Muhimu:
(Muhimu turns to face Bunga) I heard that!
Kion:
Muhimu! Swala! Stop! Hey... Enough! (Growling)
Muhimu & Swala:
(Gasping)
Kion:
What's going on? Swala, Muhimu. I thought you two were friends!
Muhimu:
We were, until Swala and the gazelles tried to steal our grazing grounds!
Swala:
Your grazing grounds? Muhimu, these are our grazing grounds!
Muhimu:
Ha, no, they're ours!
Beshte:
But this is the Pride Lands. Can't you just share?
Kion:
Beshte's right. These grazing grounds are for everyone. There's plenty of grass for zebras and gazelles.
Ono:
(Ono looks at the herds) Um, Kion... That's not exactly true... Except for where you are, I only see dirt!
Kion:
There's no other grass at all?
Fuli:
Seriously?
Beshte:
Wait. So you zebras and gazelles aren't really mad at each other. You're just hungry!
Swala:
I do get cranky when I'm hungry.
Muhimu:
And now you see why we're hungry. There's not enough grass!
Kion:
Well, then we just need to find a place with enough grass for all of you.
Swala:
Can you do that?
Muhimu:
Yes, where is all this grass?
Kion:
I don't know... But I know who will!
(The scene transitions to Pride Rock Kion and Simba are standing on top)
Simba:
Hmm. I knew the herds were large this year, but I didn't realize they'd outgrown their grazing grounds.
Kion:
Isn't there somewhere with enough grass for the herds to share?
Simba:
Kion, you see that patch of green, far out in the distance?
(Simba and Kion look out to Mbail Flieds)
Kion:
Mbali Fields?
Simba:
Mbali Fields. That's where the zebras and gazelles can find their grass.
Kion:
But that's at the very edge of the Pride Lands. You think they can make it?
Simba:
I'm certain they can. Because I'm sending the Lion Guard with them.
Kion:
You want me to lead a migration?
Simba:
You'll have the rest of the Guard with you. But I know you, Kion. You can do whatever you put your mind to.
Kion:
Thanks, Dad. I won't let you down.
Simba:
You never do.
(The herds and Lion Guard get ready to go)
Zebras:
(Neighing)
Bunga:
Who's ready for a Savannah trip? Raise your hooves! Whoo! (Bunga jumps) Oh. It's you.
Muhimu:
Have we met?
Bunga:
Uh, yeah. You sat on me yesterday? Remember?
Muhimu:
I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, little mongoose.
Bunga:
Mongoose!? I'm a honey badger!
Muhimu:
Whatever. When are we getting this show on the road? I need to get to the grazing grounds. Before it is time.
Bunga:
"It is time"? Don't get all Rafiki on me, Muhimu. We're almost ready to go. Just keep your stripes on.
Ono:
(Ono lands next to Kion) Looks like everyone's ready, Kion.
Kion:
Great. Did you scout us the best route?
Ono:
Affirmative. Through the plains past Maji Baridi Falls, down Rocky Ridge, then right through the canyon to Mbali Fields. Pretty simple, really.
Kion:
I was hoping you'd say that. Listen up, everybody! It's a long way to Mbali Fields. But I'll do my best to get you all there safe and sound!
Muhimu:
We know you will! We trust you, Kion! Right, everyone?
(Cheering)
Bunga:
(Bunga does a flip) "Zuka Zama!"
Kion:
Uh, thanks. Well, let's move out! Ono, point the way!
Ono:
Affirmative!
(Everyone starts walking)
(Music starts)
Female singing voice:
♪ There's a land of promise ahead
♪ Though now it's far away
(The gazelle gets tired and sleeps on Beshte's back)
♪ Journey with all of our friends
♪ To a place where we can stay
♪ So leave all your worries behind
♪ Because new life awaits us
(The gazelles and Beshte jump)
♪ Fields that are green
♪ Keep moving forward
♪ Hard as it seems
(A zebra tries to turn around but Fuli stops him)
♪ A new road to freedom
♪ Let's follow the sun
(Kion looks at the rode ahead)
♪ On a trail to hope
♪ We've only begun
♪ We've only begun ♪
(Kion, Bunga, Fuli and Beshte look at the rode to Mbail Fields)
(Music ends)
Kion:
How's it look from above, Ono?
Ono:
So far so good. Though it seems like everyone's slowing down.
Kion:
I'd better give 'em some encouragement. Hey, everyone! I know you're tired and I know you're hungry but...
(The zebras and gazelle are seen walking)
Male Zebra:
We were hungry when we started!
Muhimu:
Now we're starving!
Kion:
It's not much farther, I promise. We'll get to Mbali Fields soon! We will get to Mbali Fields soon, right?
Ono:
Affirmative. We just have to go down this steep slope and through the canyon. (Kion looks at the fields) You can see the Fields from here. I just hope we get there before the storm hits. (Ono sees the dark clouds)
Kion:
We're almost there, everyone! See the patch of green at the end of the canyon?
Muhimu:
Look at all that grass. I can almost taste it from here. Oh, yummy!
Bunga:
Yummy? You know it's gonna taste like grass, right?
Muhimu:
(Enthusiastically) Yes! I can't wait. In fact, I can't wait! (Neighing) (Muhimiu starts to run)
Bunga:
Whoa! Muhimu?
Muhimu:
Out of my way! I'm coming, grass! I'm coming!
Make Zebra:
Great idea!
Female Zebra:
Let's go eat!
(The rest of the zebras follow Muhimu and leap over Kion)
Kion:
Uh-oh. (Kion ducks)
Ono:
"Hapana!"
(Hooves Thundering)
Kion:
Everyone! Slow down! The slope is too steep.
Zebras:
(Yelling)
Fuli:
(Sighs) No way this ends well.
Swala:
What are we waiting for? Let's run!
(Swala and her herd start to run)
Kion:
Lion Guard, we gotta stop them!
Fuli:
Meet you at the front of the herd. "Huwezi!"
Ono:
"Hapana!" Kion? We have a problem!
(The rocks start to fall)
Kion:
I'm on it! (Kion goes to the front of the herd)
Zebras:
(Neighing)
Kion:
Everyone, stop! Back! Run back, now!
(The herds and lion guards go back)
(Confused braying)
(Bunga pushes Muhimu out of the way)
(Kion, Ono, Fuli and Beshte look at the rocks)
Muhimu:
(Groaning) Why did you shove me? Don't you know I'm in a family way?
Bunga:
No, you were in the rocks' way! I was trying to save your life!
Muhimu:
Oh. Well, that's different. Now, could you please get up? You're sitting on me!
Bunga:
Well, now you know how it feels! (Bunga gets off of Muhimu)
Muhimu:
What's that supposed to mean? Oh, never mind. Odd little hedgehog.
Bunga:
(Yells) I'm a honey badger!
Kion:
(Sighing) Guess we're not as close as we thought.
Beshte:
What do we do now, Kion?
Kion:
Well, the herds can't go over it. And we can't go through it. So we've got to go around it. Ono. Scout out another route to the grazing grounds.
Ono:
I'm on it.
Swala:
I blame the zebras for this.
Ono:
(Ono flies and looks for a new look path in the Outlands) Oh, no. (Ono lands next to Kion)
Kion:
Any luck?
Ono:
Well, I did find another route to the grazing grounds.
Beshte:
That's great!
Ono:
But it goes through the Outlands.
Bunga:
That's not so great.
Kion:
I promised my dad we'd get these herds to their new home. And if we have to go through the Outlands to get there, then that's what we're going to do.
Bunga:
At least we've got one thing going for us. That storm hasn't started yet.
(Thunder clap)
(It starts to rain and everyone looks at Bunga)
Bunga:
Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud.
(The herds and Lion Guard starts walking in the rain)
Muhimu:
I'm starting to wonder if Kion knows what he's doing. He says we're almost there, now he's taking us in a different direction!
Make Zebra:
Has he ever even led a migration?
Female Zebra:
Maybe we should've stayed home.
Swala:
If Simba had brought us, we'd be there by now. I'm not sure Kion can handle a trip like this.
(Kion groans and rolls his eyes)
Fuli:
Is it just me or is this water getting deeper? (Fuli steps in the water and a zebra starts running)
(Water flushing strongly)
Fuli:
(Gasping) Oh, no. Kion, look out!
Kion:
Flash flood!
(Everyone starts running)
(Screaming)
Kion:
Higher ground, everyone! Move!
Zebras and gazelles:
(Screaming & Neighing)
Kion:
No animal gets lost! Let's go! Ono, keep these animals on safer ground! We'll get the others!
Ono:
You got it! Zebras! Gazelles! This way! Uphill! (Ono guides the herds uphill)
(Zebras trying to get up from the water)
Both:
(Zebras trying to get up from the water) Help! Help me!
Beshte:
I'm coming, zebras! (Grunting)
Female Zebra:
Help! Help!
(Screaming)
Beshte:
(Beshte helps the zebras) (Groans)
Fuli:
Not gonna lose you, gazelle. (Fuli pushes the gazelle to land) Oof!
Male Gazelle:
(Panting) Thank you, Fuli.
Swala:
(Swala is seen in the water) Kion!
Kion:
Don't panic, Swala! I'll get you! (Kion grabs onto Swala and pulls her up) Here we go!
Swala:
Whoa! (Grunting)
(Both panting)
(Grunting)
Muhimu:
Help! Help me! (Muhimu is seen in the water)
Bunga:
Muhimu! I'm coming! (Bunga jumps into the water) "Zuka Zama!" Gotcha, Muhimu!
Muhimu:
You've got me? You're the size of my head!
Bunga:
Then it's a good thing you've got a big head (Grunting) Muhimu, work with me here!
Muhimu:
I'm trying, but it's hard! I'm swimming for two!
Bunga:
I'm the one swimming for two! Now help me out and paddle!
(Bunga and Muhimu paddle to shore)
Muhimu:
Well, now that you've saved me twice, I suppose I should admit it. I did sit on you.
Bunga:
Yeah! I've still got the stripe marks to prove it.
Muhimu:
Anyway, I'm sorry. And, thank you.
Bunga:
"Hakuna matata." Come on. We have to get to higher ground.
(Kion and the lion guard look at the herds)
Male Zebra:
And who takes the low ground during a rainstorm?
Swala:
Yes, he saved me, but it's his fault I was in trouble in the first place, right?
Bunga:
(Clears throat) So, um, Kion, what now?
(Kion looks down at the ground)
Bunga:
Kion?
Kion:
I don't know. Keep an eye on the herds. I'll be back. (Kion goes to speak to Mufasa)
Mufasa:
Kion, something's troubling you.
Kion:
Grandfather, I don't know what to do. Dad trusted me to lead the herds. But everything went wrong. And now they all think I'm a bad leader. And I think they might be right.
Mufasa:
Kion, don't let their lack of faith affect yours.
Kion:
I really do want them to trust me.
Mufasa:
They will. As long as you trust yourself. Confidence, Kion. That's all you need to complete this journey. But confidence doesn't come from what others think about you. It comes from inside yourself.
Kion:
Thank you, Grandfather.
(The scene transitions back to the rest of the lion guard and they are seen watching the herds)
Beshte:
You think Kion's gonna be okay?
Bunga:
Sure he is! He's Kion!
Kion:
Hey, guys!
Male Zebra:
The herds have been talking, and we're not happy.
Swala:
You promised us the trip would end in a huge field with enough grass for everyone.
Kion:
We're not there yet. It's taking longer than we thought. But I know we'll make it. Trust me.
Swala:
I'm not sure I do.
Female Zebra:
Me, neither!
Male Gazelle:
I'm with Swala!
Bunga:
Well, I trust Kion!
Muhimu:
(Muhimu stands up) So do I! I agree. The trip hasn't gone the way we hoped. But it's not Kion's fault! Part of it was mine. We all know I started the stampede. If I hadn't, we wouldn't have had to change course. And who can predict a flash flood? But Kion and the Lion Guard got us through it safe and sound. I have faith in you, Kion. (Muhimu bows to Kion) And, and I promise to make things easier from now on, not harder.
Kion:
Thanks, Muhimu.
Kion:
(Kion stands on a rock) There's a whole new life for you at Mbali Fields. Now we have to cut through the Outlands. I won't lie. There are predators there. But you're with the Lion Guard, and we'll keep you safe. That's a promise! We will keep you safe! So, who's ready?
Swala:
I am.
Male Zebra:
Me too.
Male Gazelle:
Let's do it.
ALl:
(Cheering)
Muhimu:
(Muhimu turns to Bunga) You'll keep me safe, right?
Bunga:
'Course I will! What are friends for?
Muhimu:
We're friends?
Bunga:
Sure! As long as you promise not to sit on me again.
Kion:
This way, everyone!
(The scene transitions and everyone walks through the Outlands)
Kion:
Remember, everybody. We're in the Outlands now. Be as quiet as you can. Got it?
Male Zebra:
(Loudly) But what if...
Muhimu:
(Hushing) Shh! Kion said to be... (Screaming) It's time! (Muhimu sits down)
Bunga:
Yeah! Time to stay quiet!
Muhimu:
No! Time for the baby!
Bunga:
What baby?
Muhimu:
The baby I'm about to have!
Bunga:
Baby? You're having a baby? Like a baby baby? Like a baby, baby, baby?
(Muhimu nods)
Bunga:
Why didn't you tell me?
Muhimu:
I've been telling you the whole time, you silly honey badger.
Bunga:
Yes! I'm a honey badg...(Yelling) YOU'RE HAVING A BABY!!!
Ono:
(Ono falls on Beshte's back) (Gasping)
Muhimu:
Now who's not being quiet?
Kion:
You're having a baby? Right now?
(Muhimu nods)
Kion:
(Kion turns to Fuli) What do we do?
Fuli:
How should I know?
Ono:
I only know about eggs.
Swala:
Leave it to us. She'll need help, ladies. Who's with me?
(ALl the girls stand around Muhimu)
Swala:
(Swala turns to faces Bunga) She'll want some privacy.
Bunga:
Uh, no problems. (Bunga starts to walk away) See you later!
Muhimu:
Wait! Actually, I'll feel safer if you're nearby. You saved me before. I wouldn't be here to have this baby if it weren't for you.
Bunga:
Really? Okay! Um... How "nearby" do I have to be?
Muhimu:
(Groans) Uh-oh! Here we go!
Bunga:
Not too nearby, then. Good.
Beshte:
A baby zebra? It's gonna be so cute!
Fuli:
But we're in the Outlands. There's predators everywhere! She can't have the baby here!
Ono:
(Ono flies over Muhimu) She can and she is!
Beshte:
Then we're gonna have to stay here till she's had it.
Kion:
No. Fuli's right. There's a lot of predators out here. If we want to keep everyone safe, we need to split up. You three take the herds to the new grazing grounds. I'll stay here with Bunga and Muhimu.
Fuli:
No! What if there's an attack? You'll need our help!
Kion:
What I need is to protect the Circle of Life. That means taking care of this baby and the herds. Fuli. You know it's the right thing to do.
Fuli:
(Scoffs) Doesn't mean I have to like it.
Kion:
Wouldn't expect you to.
Ono:
See you at the grazing grounds.
Fuli:
Come on, everyone.
(Fuli, Beshte and Ono walk with the herds)
Bunga:
(Bunga tries to look at Muhimu) Um, how you doin' Muhimu? Muhimu? Everything okay?
Hamu:
(High-Pitched Neigh)
Bunga:
Hey, that's pretty good! You made your voice sound just like a... A baby! Your baby! It's here!
(Kion comes to see the baby zebra)
Muhimu:
(Muhimu hugs Hamu) Oh, it's a boy.
Kion and Bunga:
Whoa.
Bunga:
Wow. Look at that. (Bunga pets Hamu) He's pretty cute. Does he do anything?
Muhimu:
Like what?
Bunga:
I dunno. Like play? Or tell jokes?
Hamu:
(Neighing)
(Janja and his clan sees the herds)
Cheezi:
Ha! Did you hear that?
Janja:
Yeah. Sounded like a snack! A whole pack of snacks! A snack pack! (Chuckling)
Cheezi:
(Cheezi sees Kion and Bunga with the herds) That's not all, Janja. Kion and Bunga are down there, too!
Janja:
So what? When we run in, they're gonna protect the baby. But the big zebras and the gazelle are gonna panic and run.
Cheezi:
Oh yeah! (Laughing)
Chungu:
Zebras always do that!
Janja:
And then we can pick 'em off without even thinkin'!
Chungu:
Without thinking? Good! That's how we do everything! (Laughing)
Bunga:
That was really cool, but a little loud. Not your fault, you're weren't born yet when Kion told us to be quiet, but...
Janja:
Okay, zebras! Better run! 'Cause here we come!
Swala & Zebras:
Hyenas! (Screams)
(Everyone starts running around)
Zebras:
Panic and run! Panic and run!
Kion:
No! That's just what they want! We have to stick together! Circle around Muhimu and the baby! Now!
Muhimu:
Everyone! Stop running and listen to Kion!
(The zebras stop)
Kion:
Thanks. Now circle up!
(Everyone goes in a circle around Muhimu and Hamu)
Janja:
What's the matter, zebras? Not gonna run? Don't we scare you?
Cheezi:
Whoo!
Chungu:
Oogie boogie boogie!
Hyenas:
(laughing)
Kion:
Forget it, Janja. We're not making it easy for you. You'll have to deal with all of us.
Janja:
Our pleasure. (Growling) (Kion attacks Janja)
Bunga:
"Zuka zama!"
Chungu:
(Grunting)
Zebras:
(Braying)
Kion:
Janja, time for you to g... (Chungu runs into Kion)
Janja:
(Janja tries to get Hamu) (Growling)
Hamu:
(Braying)
Janja:
Hmm?
(Hamu kicks Janja)
Janja:
Ooh!
(Kion and Bunga throw Cheezi and Chungu into each other)
Hyenas:
(Yelling) Oof!
Kion:
(Growling) Beat it, Janja!
Janja:
Yeah, yeah. I don't even like zebra, anyway!
(The hyenas leave)
Chungu:
Yeah, it's too chewy!
Cheezi:
Yeah, and too... stripy!
Female Zebra:
Hey!
Muhimu:
Bunga, did you see him? He kicked that hyena! He saved my life! (Muhimu hugs Hamu)
Bunga:
I don't know much about babies, but that's a pretty cool kid you've got there.
Hamu:
(Braying)
(The scene transitions to Mbail Fields)
Ono:
(Ono flies around Mbail Fields) All present and accounted for! The Mbali Fields migration is officially over!
Kion:
Nothing went the way we thought it would, but we still got everyone here safe.
Fuli:
(Fuli stands next to Kion) And that's what counts.
Beshte:
We even added one.
Hamu:
(Braying) (Hamu leaps for joy)
Beshte:
Welcome to the Circle of Life.
Hamu:
(Braying) (Hamu leaps for joy)
Bunga:
(Bunga comes up next to Hamu) You said it, baby!
Kion, Fuli, Beshte and Ono:
(Laughing)
Bunga:
"Zuka Zama!" (Bunga and Hamu go and play)
