Opening/The Birth of Crash

*(We open to a black screen where we hear sounds of animal noises in the background)*

The Lion King Parodies Studios present....

*(Then we see the sun slowly rising over a grassy field as some singers are heard in the background)*

Female singers: (Voice-over) **Nants ingonyama bagithi baba**

**Sithi um ingonyama**

*(Then a bunch of anthro animals awaken calmly to the sunrise and, as if interested of good news, began their trek and/or flight to somewhere)*

Female singers: (Voice-over) **Nants ingonyama bagithi baba**

**Sithi um ingonyama**

**Ingonyama**

**Siyo Nqoba**

**Ingonyama**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Sitha ngqwa)**

**Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Eshe)**

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **From the day we arrive on the planet**

**And blinking, step into the sun**

**There's more to see than can ever be seen**

**More to do than can ever be done**

**There's far too much to take in here**

**More to find than can ever be found**

**But the sun rolling high**

**Through the sapphire sky**

**Keeps great and small on the endless round**

*(The anthro animals arrive at a gigantic rocky mountain called Wumpa Rock. Then a bird approached the top with a soft smile. The bird is a slender male hornbill with blue feathers, a white belly, undertail, underwings, eyes with black pupils, aqua eyelids, orange feet, an orange bill with yellow trimming on both sides around his nostrils, indigo feather tips with white linings beneath them, thick black eyebrows, indigo trimming on his head, and an indigo feather on the back of it. He is Zazu. Upon arrival, he landed gracefully in front of an adult male anthro bandicoot with light brown fur, a tan underbelly, a black nose, short brown spiky hair, blue eyes, a long healed slash-like scar across his face above his nose bridge, and wearing a white tanktop underneath a black long-sleeved leather jacket with white wool on the neck rim, a silver metal lion-like pendant, black leather gloves, three brown belts with a silver lion brooch attaching them on the waist, black pants, a black leather sash on his waist with white wool at the waist, and black boots, and sometimes wielded a silver metal gun-like sword. He is Squall Leonhart, the Bandicoot King of the Wumpa Lands. They smiled softly and bowed to each other in respect, for it turned out Zazu is Squall's majordomo)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **It's the Circle of Life**

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

**Until we find our place**

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

*(Then approaching from below towards Squall with a soft smile is a young male anthro bandicoot with orange fur, a black nose, a gold yellow muzzle and underbelly, and short blue messy hair. He is Rolf, the somewhat kooky, yet wise, shaman of Wumpa Rock and an old friend of Squall's. Upon arrival, they give each other a friendly hug)*

Female lead singer: (Voice-over) **The circle of life**

*(Then they notice another anthro bandicoot standing nearby, holding something wrapped in a blanket, with a soft smile. The other anthro bandicoot is an adult female anthro bandicoot with gray fur, a light gray underbelly, a black nose, long black shoulder-length hair, gray blue eyes, and wearing a black cami tanktop underneath a light blue long sleeveless cloak-like jacket, blue knit gauntlet-like wristbands, a black ribbon tied around her shoulders, a blue jean miniskirt over black zippered shorts, and black leather boots. She is Rinoa Heartilly, Squall's wife and the Bandicoot Queen of Wumpa Rock. Then, while the chorus' voices sang in the background, Squall and Rolf, in calm happiness, approached her and Squall and Rinoa gives each other a loving kiss. Then Rinoa lowered her head and gently presents a tiny figure laying nuzzled in his blanket. The figure is a newborn baby male anthro bandicoot with orange fur, a gold yellow underbelly, brown oval spots on his back fur, a black nose, and brown eyes. That is, apparently, a newborn Bandicoot Prince, whom they named Crash, for it turned out it is a presentation ceremony celebrating his birth. Rolf then gently shook his staff to see how Baby Crash's personality will be, and sure enough, his personality is a happy curious type. Then Rolf took out a coconut filled with red ceremonial paint and cracks it open. Then he paints the red paint on Baby Crash's forehead, making the little newborn giggle a bit. Then after gathering some sand, he gently sprinkles it on Baby Crash's face, making him give a cute sneeze and then another brief giggle, much to Squall and Rinoa's calm happiness. Then Rolf gently picks Baby Crash up, blanket and all, and slowly walks up to the edge of the top of Wumpa Rock to present the newborn prince to the anthro animals below as the anthro animals await in calm silent eagerness. Then sure enough as the song resumes into its grand finale after the chanting is completed, Rolf holds Baby Crash up in the air, presenting him and the anthro animals happily cheered, happy to know that they now have a future king that'll lead them after Squall. Seeing this in Rolf's hands, Baby Crash gave a calm happy smile, pleased to see this)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **It's the Circle of Life**

**And it moves us all**

**Through despair and hope**

**Through faith and love**

*(Then the sun's light shone down on Rolf and Baby Crash as the anthro animals all bowed down to their new prince)*

Lead female singer: (Voice-over) **Until we find our place**

**On the path unwinding**

**It's the circle**

**The circle of life**

*(Then on cue as the song ended, the title appears)*

The Bandicoot King

*(Then we fade to black)*

***Coming up: Squall angrily berates his jealous brother, Onox, for missing out on the ceremony of Crash's birth. Then a few years later, Crash, now a young adolescent, is shown his upcoming kingdom by his father for when he becomes the new king, ending with a fun sneak-attack lesson alongside his best friend, Sombra.***
