? GOTTA BE, BE, GO

? LET'S GO, IT'S MY SHOW, YEAH ?

? LET'S GET IT CRACKIN' WITH MY SHOW, YEAH ?

AH, AFRICA-- THE MOTHERLAND,

CRADLE OF HUMANITY.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

CAN YOU FEEL THE ELECTRICITY?

I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING

AFTER THE 23 SHOTS I HAD TO GET.

YOU TOOK THEM ALL IN YOUR ARM?

YOU KNOW WHERE THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE 'EM?

YOUR MOTHER AND I ALWAYS DREAMED OF BRINGING YOU HERE.

WE'VE SAVED FOR THIS TRIP SINCE YOU WERE LITTLE.

I JUST WANT TO SEE THE TIGERS.

THERE AREN'T ANY--

TIGERS IN AFRICA. I KNOW.

I JUST SAID IT TO GET YOUR GOAT.

ARE THERE ANY GOATS?

ACTUALLY, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ANIMAL SPECIES--

ELEPHANT RHONE ANTELOPES, LION-HEARTED BEASTS,

LEOPARD WATERBUCKS,

TOBONGO CHIMPANZEES,

BUSHBUCK OLIVE BABOONS.

AAH!

[WHISTLING]

OH, CHILDREN, JUST LOOK AT IT.

YO, POPS, IT'S AN AIRPORT.

YES, BUT IT'S AN AIRPORT IN AFRICA.

HEY! [WHISTLES]

TAXI!

TRO TRO!

TRO TRO?

THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL THOSE VEHICLES.

SOME OF US WERE PAYING ATTENTION

WHEN DADDY WAS TELLING US ALL THE BORING STUFF.

[CHUCKLES] THAT'S RIGHT.

TRO TRO!

ACCRA HAS BEEN THE CAPITAL OF GHANA FOR OVER 200 YEARS.

OURS WAS THE FIRST BLACK AFRICAN COLONY TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE.

FROM THE BRITISH IN 1957.

CHECK IT OUT! WHAT'S THAT?

Driver: INDEPENDENCE MONUMENT.

THE BLACK STAR REPRESENTS

AFRICAN FREEDOM FROM COLONIALISM.

AND RIGHT OVER HERE IS THE W.E.B. DuBOIS CENTER,

WHERE THE GREAT AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER IS BURIED.

THAT'S RIGHT. HE WAS A PROPONENT OF PAN-AFRICANISM.

DIDN'T WE GET A SHOT FOR THAT?

PAN-AFRICANISM IS THE BELIEF IN THE UNITY

OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE

IN THEIR CULTURAL CONNECTION TO AFRICA.

IT SAYS THAT THE BLOOD IN HISTORY WE SHARE

BINDS US TOGETHER AS STRONGLY AS ANY NATIONAL BORDER.

ONE PEOPLE, MANY LANDS.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

YEAH, I FEEL IT.

[SNORING]

RICHIE? RICHIE?

OH, RIGHT. GUESS I'M A LITTLE OUT OF RANGE.

RICHIE, ARE YOU THERE?

Virgil: RICHIE?

RICHIE?!

HEY! RICHIE!

V-MAN! HOW'S THE TRIP?

IT'S AMAZING!

THERE ARE BLACK PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

DUDE, YOU'RE IN AFRICA.

NO, RICHIE. I MEAN, EVER SINCE I GOT HERE,

I'VE FELT DIFFERENT.

CONNECTED.

HEY, YOU KNOW, WHEN MY DAD WENT TO IRELAND,

HE GOT ALL GOOFY, TOO.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

IT'S LIKE I'VE BEEN

CARRYING THIS WEIGHT AROUND ALL MY LIFE WITHOUT KNOWING IT,

AND NOW IT'S GONE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, VIRG?

IN AFRICA, I'M NOT A BLACK KID.

I'M JUST A KID.

IS THIS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE FOR YOU ALL THE TIME?

YEAH, I GUESS.

FEELS GOOD!

WHOO-HOO!

HA HA HA HA!

YES!

WHOO-HOO!

AW, HONEY, YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.

LIKE AN ASHANTI PRINCESS.

YOUR MOTHER WOULD BE SO PROUD.

YEAH. YOU LOOK SO AFRICAN,

MAYBE WE SHOULD LEAVE YOU HERE.

P.A.: TRAIN 3 NOW BOARDING.

COME ON. THAT'S OUR TRAIN TO KUMASI.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?

NO.

AKWAABA.

MEDASI.

I AM DR. ANOKYE,

PROFESSOR OF ARCHAEOLOGY

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA.

I'M ROBERT HAWKINS, AND THESE ARE MY CHILDREN,

SHARON AND VIRGIL.

WE'RE TOURISTS.

FROM AMERICA, YES?

PERHAPS WE ARE DISTANT COUSINS.

ONE NEVER KNOWS.

Robert: THAT'S TRUE, KIDS.

ABOUT 16% OF ALL AMERICAN SLAVES CAME FROM GHANA.

REALLY?

We gotta ditch pop's books.

I WANT TO SHOW THEM WHERE THE ASHANTI KINGS USED TO LIVE.

THEN YOU MUST GO TO THE PREMPEH JUBILEE MUSEUM.

THEY HAVE-- [LOUD THUMP]

[PASSENGERS MURMUR IN CONFUSION]

THIS WAS NOT IN THE BROCHURES.

OSEBO.

YOU CAN GIVE ME YOUR BRIEFCASE OR I CAN TEAR IT AWAY.

YOUR CHOICE, DOCTOR.

HEY, CAT MAN, LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Man: I QUITE AGREE.

I SUGGEST YOU STAND ON TRADITION, OSEBO.

YOU KNOW WELL THE ANCIENT STORY.

THE SPIDER ALWAYS CAPTURES THE LEOPARD.

HELLO.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

SHALL WE DANCE?

[GROWLS]

WHO IS THAT?

I AM ANANSI THE SPIDER, EVER AT YOUR SERVICE.

HE'S THE MOST FAMOUS CRIME FIGHTER IN ALL OF WEST AFRICA.

I WAS TOO MODEST TO SAY.

[GROWLS]

UNH.

HIT HIM WITH A WEB BLAST!

I AM NOT THAT KIND OF SPIDER,

AND THIS IS NOT THAT KIND OF WEB.

[LAUGHS]

ALWAYS WITH YOUR TRICKS.

UNH.

Anansi: BEHIND YOU.

HUH?

PERHAPS TODAY I HAVE A TRICK OF MY OWN.

THIS IS OSEBO. DEMOLISH THE TRAIN.

[TRAIN WHISTLE]

OH!

WE'VE SWITCHED TO A SIDE TRACK.

WE'RE GONNA CRASH!

NO! WE WILL NOT!

AFTER HIM!

OK, THAT'S KIND OF COOL.

Dr. Anokye: NO! PLEASE!

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

AAH!

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] MY BAD.

WHOA! UNH.

STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!

I SHOULD PUNISH YOU FOR THAT,

BUT I AM OUT OF TIME.

AND SO ARE YOU!

[GROWLS]

GO!

Osebo: ABANDON THE TRAIN. I REPEAT, ABANDON THE TRAIN.

YOU HEARD HIM.

AAH!

UNH.

WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP IN TIME!

[EXHALES]

AHH.

WHEW.

SEE? I TOLD YOU AFRICA WOULD BE EXCITING.

Man: THERE HE IS!

[ALL YELLING AND PRAISING]

FORGIVE ME FOR NOT STAYING,

BUT THE LEOPARD'S TRAIL GOES COLD.

All, chanting: ANSI! ANSI!

NO! WAIT!

AND BEFORE I COULD TELL HIM ANYTHING,

HE DISAPPEARED.

WELL, YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING.

THE TRACER'S GONNA GO DEAD IN A FEW HOURS.

I KNOW, BUT I'M STUCK IN THIS VILLAGE WITH MY FAMILY

UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE TRAIN.

UH-OH. GOTTA GO.

MISS SHOPPA ZULU IS COMING.

HEY, DADDY JUST GOT US A HOTEL ROOM.

WE'RE NOT GETTING OUT OF HERE UNTIL TOMORROW.

SHOULDN'T YOU BE PACING YOURSELF ON THE SHOPPING THING?

THIS IS NOT A SHOPPING THING.

IT'S A CULTURAL EPIPHANY.

[GASPS] OOH! KENTE CLOTH!

IN AMERICAN MONEY, IT IS ONLY $15.

DOCTOR?

VIRGIL, SIT DOWN AND JOIN ME.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME FU-FU?

MY TREAT.

UH, LOOKS GOOD, BUT I THINK I'LL PASS.

I WAS JUST WONDERING,

WHAT DID OSEBO TAKE FROM YOU?

A MAP OF ANCIENT KUMASI,

HOME OF THE GREAT ASHANTI NATION.

I BELIEVE I'D FOUND

THE LOCATION OF A LONG-LOST PALACE.

A PALACE? IN GHANA?

OH, YES.

THE ASHANTI WERE TALENTED GOLDSMITHS.

THE PALACE MIGHT HAVE ARTIFACTS WORTH MILLIONS

IF IT WERE ACCESSIBLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

ACCORDING TO THE MAP,

IT LIES AT THE BOTTOM

OF THE LARGEST MAN-MADE LAKE IN THE WORLD.

LAKE VOLTA?

A LAKE WON'T STOP OSEBO.

ANSI.

I REGRET TO REPORT

THAT I HAVE LOST OSEBO'S TRAIN, DOCTOR.

I FEAR I HAVE NO WAY TO FIND HIM.

UH, ACTUALLY, YOU DO.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

A TRACER?

MY FRIEND RICHIE MAKES 'EM,

BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TRACK 'EM.

AND WHY IS THAT?

HOW DID YOU--

I'M A SUPERHERO, TOO.

DON'T TELL MY DAD.

THEN YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP ME.

YEAH, BUT WHAT DO I SAY TO MY POPS?

UH, EXCUSE ME, FATHER,

BUT I'M GONNA SAVE THE ANCIENT TREASURE OF THE ASHANTI.

DON'T WAIT UP. YEAH, RIGHT.

Robert: BOY, WAIT TILL VIRGIL HEARS ABOUT THIS.

UH-OH. THAT'S HIM.

Sharon: HE'S GONNA LOVE IT.

DO NOT MOVE.

HEY, VIRGIL. HUNGRY?

WE ACTUALLY FOUND A BURGER FOOL!

HE MUST BE EXHAUSTED.

LET HIM SLEEP.

PEOPLE SEE WHAT I WANT THEM TO SEE.

WHEN YOUR FAMILY COMES BACK,

THEY'LL SEE YOU ARE STILL HERE.

YOU HAVE GOT TO TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT.

WE'RE DEFINITELY GETTING CLOSER.

YOU HANGING IN THERE OK?

I STILL DON'T GET HOW YOU CAN STAND UPSIDE DOWN.

STICK-TO-IT-IVENESS.

DANG! I LOST IT!

THE TRACER MUST BE OUT OF JUICE.

NOT TO WORRY. I SEE THEM.

[GRUMBLES]

IS HE ANOTHER OF YOUR ILLUSIONS, SPIDER?

HIS NAME IS STATIC.

HE'S AN AMERICAN.

YOU KNOW HOW FLASHY THEY CAN BE.

AS FLASHY AS THIS?

LOOK OUT!

Both: AAH!

AT LAST, THE SPIDER HAS BEEN STEPPED ON.

[VIRGIL STRUGGLING]

THAT IS A VERY USEFUL ABILITY.

I PRACTICE ON WEEKENDS.

? OH ?

? OH OH ?

Anansi: THEY ARE GONE.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE HE CAN BLOW A HOLE

IN THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE

AND LET ALL THE WATER OUT, RIGHT?

RIGHT?

LAKE VOLTA IS FORMED BY A DAM.

IF OSEBO WERE TO DESTROY IT,

THE LAKE WOULD POUR INTO THE VALLEY.

AND HE COULD FIND THE HIDDEN PALACE AND THE GOLD.

YES, AND DESTROY THOUSANDS OF HOMES AS WELL.

NUMBER 2 REPORTING IN.

NO SIGN OF ANYONE YET.

AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A LOOKOUT?

[GASPS] [MIMICS GASP]

WERE IS OSEBO?

INSIDE THE DAM WITH THE OTHERS.

WHERE IN THE DAM?

THE BOTTOM TUNNEL.

HE HAS BEEN MOST HELPFUL.

WHAT SHOULD BE HIS REWARD?

HOW ABOUT WE TAKE HIM FOR A SPIN?

WHOA! AAH!

AAH!

AND THEY CALL ME A TRICKSTER.

Osebo: TONIGHT, WE CELEBRATE!

[OSEBO CHUCKLES]

BE QUICK.

WE BURY THE SPIDER, WE DIG UP THE GOLD!

HE'S SO HAPPY. IT'S A SHAME TO DISAPPOINT HIM.

[GASPS]

Virgil, whispering: Shield your eyes.

[ALL YELLING IN PAIN]

[GROANS]

GREAT SHOW, BUT WHERE'S WHISKER?

SEE TO THEM.

GOING SOMEWHERE?

Anansi: OSEBO!

THE GAME IS FINISHED.

[GROWLS]

NO MOVES FOR YOU TO MAKE.

THE SPIDER WEAVES HIS WEB...

AND THE CAT IS CAUGHT.

BUT A CAT HAS MANY LIVES, ANSI.

I CAN STILL DETONATE THE EXPLOSIVES WITH THIS,

SO UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR FLYING FRIEND CRUSHED,

YOU WILL REVEAL YOURSELF.

All four: YOU PRESS THE BUTTON, AND WE ALL GO.

TALK TO ME.

WHAT?

YOU GUYS PLAY KEEP-AWAY OVER HERE?

AT THE VERY LEAST, I WILL FINALLY BE RID OF YOU.

AAH!

AND THEY SAY CATS ALWAYS LAND ON THEIR FEET.

I'M GONNA MISS AFRICA SO MUCH.

I DON'T WHY.

YOU'RE BRINGING MOST OF IT HOME WITH YOU.

HEY, I JUST READ THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS GONNA START

AN UNDERWATER EXPEDITION TO FIND THE ASHANTI PALACE

NOW THAT DR. ANOKYE HAS HIS MAP BACK.

COOL.

OOH. I BETTER GO DOWN AND CHECK US OUT.

I'LL GO WITH YOU, DADDY.

I SAW THE CUTEST LITTLE EARRINGS IN THE GIFT SHOP.

I WILL MISS YOU, MY FRIEND...

AND YOUR GOOD HUMOR.

I'LL MISS YOU, TOO, ANANSI.

I NEVER KNEW HOW IMPORTANT IT WOULD BE

TO MEET A ROLE MODEL LIKE YOU.

ROLE MODEL?

YEAH. A BLACK SUPERHERO.

I DON'T KNOW. IT VALIDATES ME SOMEHOW.

HEROES COME IN EVERY COLOR, MY FRIEND.

I KNOW. IT'S JUST THAT SOMETIMES I WISH

THERE WAS A BLACK SUPERHERO BACK HOME

FOR FOLKS TO LOOK UP TO.

OH, BUT THERE IS.

AND HE IS MY HERO, TOO.
