Did I grow? Did I grow?

[ Gloria grunts ]

You're a notch and a half taller than last month.

I knew my hooves felt farther away! You're next, Gloria.

[ Gloria grunts ]

Almost half a notch taller!

That makes me a half a notch more glorious.

Your turn, Marty.

Marty, you grew three quarters of a notch!

That's what I'm talking about!

It's Alex's turn! Where is he? I'm right here! Come on over.

Uh, okay.

Let's do this!

Huh? Alex! You're ten notches taller than last month!

Wait a second, let me take a look. Uh! Whoa. He's right!

That's what happens when a growing lion takes care of himself

and gets plenty of naps every day.

It's also what happens when that same lion uses stilts.

What? Where did these come from? Uh! Uh!

Uh...

Mm‐mm‐mm. How could you stoop so low?

Well, he did shrink half a notch!

I shrunk half a notch? How's that even possible?

Did you cheat last time? Oh. Yeah.

[ snoring ]

[ yawns ]

Pew.

[ shivers ]

Mm. Huh?

[ grunts ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

Morning, cutie patootie!

Oh, looks like it's time for that little‐giraffe blanket

to be replaced with a big‐giraffe blanket.

I don't know what Kate's talking about.

My little‐giraffe blanket fits me perfectly!

[ shivers ]

Come on, Melman! It's time to get out of bed.

[ yawns ]

Your fangs are looking fang‐tastic, Alex.

Marty, time to get your gargle on!

There, Gloria, clean as a whistle!

Alright, Melman.

Let's get a closer look at those sparkly teeth.

Yahoo! Whoa, there, Melman!

I think you're getting a little too big for me to carry.

But you'll never be too big for me to hug.

Or for me to floss your teeth! Let's see those chompers.

Ah.

Uh! Your first loose tooth!

Oh! Guess this proves you're not my little giraffe anymore, are you?

I can't wait to tell Carlos the good news! Carlos!

Your first loose tooth!

Congrats, Melman! You never forget your first tooth!

How does it feel to be one of the big kids?

I don't wanna be a big kid.

I wanna be Kate's favorite little giraffe forever.

Don't worry. Kate will love you no matter how big you get.

We've all lost teeth, and she still loves us the same.

I guess. Losing your first tooth is exciting.

You get to leave it under your mat for the Tooth Fairy.

And she'll bring you a special surprise! Really?

What do you think she'll bring me? There's only one way to find out.

We gotta get that tooth out. I've got an idea!

All I need is a bit of string and a ball.

I found some yarn. Will that work?

That'll do! Hm. What about this tennis ball?

Perfect! Thanks!

We'll tie one end of the string around your tooth.

Ah. And the other around the tennis ball.

Then we'll throw the ball and that tooth will come right out.

And the pitcher winds up, looks like he's gonna throw the heat.

Wait, I'm not ready! Ah!

[ scream ]

[ gasps ]

Oh! Uh!

How about we try something else? You could try biting into this apple!

And if you're still nervous,

try looking at something else to distract you.

Good idea, Gloria. I'll just focus on, oh,

Kate's favorite pictures of her favorite animals, us!

Ah, the good old days, when I was a young, adorable, uh! Kitten?

What is that picture doing on Kate's computer

with all the pictures of us?

Aw, you know Kate. She loves animals.

Especially cute little ones.

And I'm getting less littler every minute! Wait.

Does this mean when I lose my tooth and turn into a big giraffe,

she'll replace me with that littler, cuter kitten?

I doubt that, Melman.

It's probably just a random kitten she met once.

Yeah. Maybe. But then why did she take its picture?

Just look at it, it's adorable! Gloria, not helping.

C'mon, Melman. You could never be replaced.

KATE: I'm headin' out early, Carlos! I'll see you tomorrow.

Kate's coming! We gotta get out of here.

Ah! Uh! Oh, no! My tooth!

Melman, come on! I've got eyes on Kate, she's almost here!

But‐but‐but‐but‐but!

Oh! All habitats inspected! Wait, what happened here?

I need to get my tooth back!

He's right, the Tooth Fairy won't leave him a surprise without it.

Forget the fairy! I'm sticking that tooth where it belongs.

Right back in my mouth.

Aren't you just a little curious

about what the Tooth Fairy would bring you?

Nope. All that matters is that I stay Kate's favorite little giraffe.

I'm still on team Tooth Fairy, but if that's what you really want.

We just need to get your tooth out of Kate's backpack.

MELMAN: You mean that backpack, leaving on her back right now?

We've gotta go after her.

You're the baby!

[ Dave chatters ]

No, I'm not the baby, you're the baby!

Gloria, you can see who the real baby is here, can't you?

Honestly? You're both wearing diapers, so I'm stumped.

What's your point? And what's your payment?

Uh, just an old blanket.

Who wants an old, soft, cuddly blanket?

Amiright? Mm...

Uh! She's heading into the library.

KATE: Hmm.

Hiya, Kate! Here's that book I told you about last week.

"One Hundred Cutest Baby Animals."

Aww! I can't wait to read it!

She's gonna love it so much, she won't have any love left for me.

Relax, Melman. It's only a book. Yeah, could be worse.

At least it's not a real live baby animal.

[ baby giggling ]

Oh! Look at that cute little baby!

Spoke too soon.

Those are the cutest cheeks I've ever seen.

You also have excellent cheeks.

They'll be even better when I have my tooth back inside them.

[ baby giggling ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

So precious!

She's distracted! I'm comin' for ya, Mr. Tooth.

[ Melman hums ]

[ giggles ]

There it is!

BOTH: Huh?

Hm. Weird! Where did this come from?

I'll put it back on the shelf.

Thanks for the book! You're welcome!

Hmm, I'm starting to feel like I'll never get my tooth back.

Don't give up, Melman. We'll get it back.

And when we do, look who'll come pay you a visit!

Wow! It's the Tooth Fairy! Isn't she beautiful?

She's just how I pictured her!

She looks like a perfectly nice fairy,

but I don't plan on meeting her any time soon.

"Mission: get tooth back in mouth" is still on!

Aw, who do we have here?

[ chuckles ]

[ barks ]

I see you've met the Cupcake Bee's mascot, Poppy.

Isn't she a cutie patootie?

[ groans ]

Ooh, she's so sweet I might eat her up!

Well, you're in luck because you can!

These are our new Poppy Cakes.

Oh! They're adorable!

Mm! Mm! And delicious!

Creative choice, but kitty cakes would have been cuter, right?

But what about giraffe cakes? Pss, Melman, over there!

MELMAN: Huh?

Now, that's your chance to grab the tooth!

We'll be your lookout.

Uh, oh‐oh!

[ barking ]

[ Melman gasps ]

BIANCA: What is it, Poppy?

It looks like she's trying to tell us something.

She must've just seen a pigeon.

Good girl, Poppy.

Thanks, Bi. I gotta go, it's Tuesday,

so you know what that means, I'm having Pete's Pizza for dinner!

Mm‐mm! Tell Pete I said hi!

Huh!

[ chuckles ]

[ grunting and panting ]

Let's move it! Move it where?

We're going to Pete's Pizza. Pizza time!

To find Kate. Oh, yeah, totally.

That's where we were going with that.

Ant'ney! Uh! Hiya, gang!

What brings you to Pete's Pizza, home of the extra crusty crusts?

Well, Melman's tooth fell out. And landed in Kate's backpack.

So we've been following her to help Melman get its tooth back‐

Of Course! So you can leave it for the Tooth Fairy!

No! So I can put it back in my mouth and stay a little giraffe forever.

I dunno what you're talkin' about, But I'm in! So, where's Kate?

She said she was coming to Pete's Pizza to eat her dinner!

No one eats dinner here. Pete's is delivery only.

Oh, no! Delivery? Then how are we going to find Kate?

Hmm. I think I've got an idea.

♪

Um, Donny! Extra veggie pizza going to 1800 Washington Square Park.

Thanks, Donny! Eddie!

Triple cheese deluxe pie for 6000 West Bronx Avenue.

Thanks, Eddie!

[ panting and grunting ]

Next up, Sophia! Small pineapple for 10th and Avenue A!

Tell Kate hi for me! Did you call my name, boss?

Hey, Sophia! Huh?

10th and Avenue A,

that's three doors down from the noodle bar

and four doors up from the deli!

Thanks, Ant'ney. Good luck, Melman.

I hope you find your tooth!

What? Not again!

[ scream ]

Here we come, Kate!

ALEX: Woohoo! GLORIA: Huh?

Get me off of this bike! GLORIA: We're here!

[ Marty grunts ]

That was awesome!

We should be professional pizza deliverers.

Maybe just stick to acting.

Zebra stripes? This has got to be Kate's apartment.

I always knew she had great taste.

Here goes nothing. Wait!

Ah? Uh!

Millie! You'll never guess who's at the door.

Oh, Murray, move out of the way. Murray!

Murray! MURRAY: Millie!

[ grunt ]

MILLIE: Pineapple pizza?

What kinda New Yorker puts pineapple in pizza?

Must be for Kate. Third floor!

Phew!

Now, this looks like the place!

[ sighs ]

Hiya, Sophia. Come on in. We're in! That was easy.

Oh, don't mind me.

I'm reading the sweetest book about baby animals.

More baby animals? Give me a break!

Now, what do we do? I have an idea.

Thanks, Sophia! See you next week!

Good thinking, Gloria.

Now let's find that tooth and get out of here.

Hmm...

Uh! The kitten from Kate's computer!

She lives here? Oh, no. Kate's already replaced me!

Don't jump to conclusions, Melman, she's just, uh!

Huh?

[ meows ]

A cutie‐wootie! Not you, too!

KATE: Aww, Lemon, did you wake up from your nap?

GLORIA: Melman, hide!

[ meows ]

Move over, Lemon, it's pizza night! Lemon? Even her name is cute.

[ meows ]

Ugh! She's taunting me! She knows she's Kate's new favorite.

I'm sure that's not true, Melman. Yeah, she's just being friendly.

ALEX: Hey, look, Kate's backpack! Yes!

The tooth mission's back on!

[ the gang grunts ]

Uh! Lemon, did you hear something?

[ meows ]

♪

[ meows ]

Uh!

[ meows ]

A‐ha! It's time to get you back where you belong, Mr. Tooth.

And time for me to get outta here.

Uh‐oh! What are you doing up there, Lemon? Uh!

[ meows ]

[ meows ]

[ gasps ]

Oh, no!

Uh!

Phew! That was close. You need to be more careful, kitty!

[ sighs ]

You're pretty cute, aren't you?

[ sighs ]

Looks like "Mission: get tooth back in mouth" is a big ol' bust.

That was really kind of you, Melman.

You sacrificed your tooth to save Lemon.

It's what Kate would've done.

I guess if Kate had to replace me

with a cuter, littler, smushy‐faced animal,

you seem like a pretty good choice.

Aww, that's so sweet. Come on, we gotta go!

♪

[ meows ]

[ sighs ]

I know you're sad about losing your tooth, but Kate's always gonna love you.

Yeah! Even if you lose 100 teeth.

Wait, that can happen? But I've only got 32 of them!

C'mon, I bet you'll feel like your old Melman self

once we're back home in the habitat.

Thanks, but I don't think I belong there anymore.

What do you mean? Kate said it herself.

Losing my first baby tooth means I'm not a little giraffe anymore.

It's time for me to pack my stuff and move to the big giraffe habitat.

Who's gonna tell him there aren't any other giraffes in the zoo?

Goodbye, banyan tree. Goodbye, thatched hut.

Goodbye, bamboo fence.

Melman, you really don't have to do this.

On the contrary, Martin.

It's time for me to be an independent giraffe,

now that I'm all grown up.

‐Did he just call me Martin?

But we're all older than you, and we still live here.

Nevertheless, Gloria! It is time for me to depart.

It has been a pleasure. Kate's here!

Come on, Melman.

You can't leave now, Kate's about to tuck us in!

Very well, Alexander. One last Goodnight Song couldn't hurt.

But after that, I'm off.

Hiya, gang! I missed you today.

Melman, I have a special surprise for you. It's your brand‐new big giraffe blanket!

[ sighs ]

I stitched your old, little blanket into it, right here.

[ Melman sighs ]

[ Kate chuckles ]

I knew you'd like it.

[ Kate humming ]

See, Melman? Kate's always gonna love you.

Yeah! I'm sure Lemon's just a phase.

[ groans ]

Ya know, like, a life‐long phase.

Kate probably just made this as a going away present,

since I'm being replaced and all. I'll stay tonight.

But in the morning, I'm moving on.

Come on, let's tuck it in.

We'll have to leave it under your bamboo mat

for the Tooth Fairy.

Huh, that's strange. It's not here.

Where could that tooth have gone running off to?

Huh. Oh, well, I have a feeling the Tooth Fairy

might just pay you a visit anyway. Goodnight, buddy.

[ yawns ]

[ yawns ]

[ yawns ]

Ooh! My last morning in the habitat.

Goodbye, bamboo mat. Goodbye, big‐giraffe blanket.

Goodbye, firetruck.

Uh! A firetruck! Where'd that come from?

[ imitates truck ]

I gotta tell the gang! Alex, Marty!

Ooh! What is it, Melman? The Tooth Fairy came! She really came!

She is so reliable. I like that in a fairy.

What's going on?

The Tooth Fairy left me a firetruck! I've been wanting one forever!

I knew my girl would come through!

If I'd known the Tooth Fairy would bring me cool stuff like this,

I would've been much more excited about losing my baby teeth.

Seriously?

That's what we've been trying to tell you!

Hush! Kate's coming! Good morning, A Little Wild!

Besides, I still have another 31 baby teeth to lose!
