[Elena] "Finding Zuzo"

[Zuzo] Wait, what? Where'd I go?

[Naomi] There you are!

What are you doing up here?

[sighs] Just thinking about

the first time my parents brought me

to Nueva Vista

when I was just a little girl.

You see that lighthouse?

My father had it built.

Oh. [chuckles] Really?

OK, you're fidgeting with your necklace.

-What's bugging you? -Oh! Uh, well...

Actually, heh, it's about the lighthouse.

-It's... -So beautiful.

-Too short. -Too short?

It's one of the tallest buildings in the city.

But it's not tall enough.

My dad and I have been working with the local harbormaster.

The port's so busy that they have to signal ships

to wait for dock space.

But the lighthouse is too short to be seen

by ships way out in the ocean.

OK, then, let's make it taller.

We already looked into that.

The foundation won't support it.

So, what exactly are you saying?

We need to tear it down and build a new one.

Tear it down?

Tear down the lighthouse my father built?

The lighthouse that is a symbol of Avaloran pride?

That lighthouse?

I know it means a lot to you, but this is the best solution.

The best solution is destroying a piece

of Avalor's history?

If it helps Avalor's future, yes.

[scoffs] I think I know what's best for my kingdom, thank you.

Well, it's not entirely up to you, Elena.

A decision this big is made by the Grand Council.

[scoffs] Fine. Go to the Council

and let them tell you what a terrible idea it is.

They won't, because it's a great idea.

[scoffs] Huh! We'll see.

I guess we will.

Uh-- Elena!

-What?! -What did I do?

[sighs] Nothing. I'm sorry.

I was just having a... thing with Naomi. [chuckles] What's up?

I'd like permission to assemble a team of guards

to go after Victor and Carla Delgado.

They're the last big threat to Avalor, and they're still at large.

Now, that is a great idea.

Because I know a great idea from a terrible idea,

unlike Naomi, who-- who-- who thinks we should

tear down the lighthouse because it's too short

and build a taller one! Huh!

Sounds like a good solution to me.

[gasps] Well...ugh.

No one asked you!

Permission granted, by the way.

I'm gonna slam the door now, but it's not because of you.

OK?

Zuzo? Zuzo? Zuzo!

-Hiya, Prince-- -There you are!

Naomi wants to tear down the old lighthouse,

but that lighthouse means a lot to me,

and she won't even listen!

-Zuzo! -Hey, stop that!

You're not supposed to be in there! Go away! Shoo!

-What are you doing? -Hang on, princess.

Trouble in the Spirit World. Be right back!

Get out of my house!

Zuzo?

Zuzo? Zuzo?

I'm worried, Mateo. Zuzo said he'd be right back,

but he's been gone for hours.

You're right. It doesn't sound like him at all.

I'll summon Cacahuate.

Illuminara Mateo Wayohel!

Hmm. Illuminara--

[Cacahuate] Hold your spirit horses, I'm coming!

I'm a sloth, Matteo!

We're known for our thoroughness, but--

-But not for your speed? -Oh, hi, Elena!

You're just the person I wanted to see.

Where's Zuzo?

Uh, we were hoping you could tell us.

I've been lookin' for him all day.

I thought he was with you.

He was here this morning, but then he had to rush back

to the Spirit World for some kind of emergency.

I don't know anything about an emergency.

When he left, he was yelling at someone

to get out of his house.

[gasps] He might be in trouble!

Oh, who would want to hurt Zuzo?

I don't know, but...

there is a dark side of the Spirit World

filled with all manner of terrible... [stammering]

I can't even talk about them!

We have to find Zuzo! Now!

OK, Princess, I'll look for him.

I want to go, too!

You know humans aren't supposed to go--

She already went once.

To rescue me from the Zanies, remember?

Please, Mateo, I remember.

Come on, Cacahuate, Zuzo has always been there for me.

I need to be there for him.

You're right, Princess. We both do.

All right, let's break a long-standing rule, again.

Hold on.

[Elena gasps]

-Where are we? -Zuzo's den.

You said something was in his house, right?

What is this stuff? Ooh!

[gasps] Huh.

It's moth silk.

[gasps]

Well, if I were a betting sloth,

I would say there was a fight.

We have to ask around.

Someone must have seen what happened!

[chirps] He was rushing back from Avalor saying something about

dealing with a moth problem at home?

You have moths in the Spirit World?

Not around here.

Moths live in the dark side of the tree.

Now that you mention it,

I did see a big cloud of purple moths

carrying a giant purple cocoon

toward the dark side of the tree.

Ooh! My human needs me. Gotta go!

I don't know about you,

but the only magical purple moths

I've ever seen came from Orizaba.

How do you know Orizaba?

During the last eclipse, she tried to invade Avalor,

but Zuzo showed me how to send her back here.

Well, that explains it. Wha-ho!

Orizaba holds a grudge.

So it sounds like she sent her moths to capture Zuzo.

Which means to get him back, we have to go to the dark side.

Yeah, that makes sen-- Go to the dark side?!

[laughing]

Had enough, dearie?

Oh, I could do this all day.

Nothin' I like more than hangin' out!

[laughs] Oh, you won't be hanging long.

[whimpering]

Unless you give me your magic stripes.

Let me guess, so you can go back to the human world

and conquer it with eternal darkness?

Ugh, yes. And get even with the princess who did this to me.

[gulps]

Now, give me your stripes,

or it's rock-a-bye-bye baby.

[whimpers]

Ooh, Elena, you can't just

drop in on the dark side!

The dark spirits, you know them,

they would see us coming, and boom!

Who knows what they'll do to us?

But Zuzo needs us!

I know. Wait.

There is one other way in.

Through the shadow tunnels!

Weren't those the tunnels where the Zanies tried to take Mateo?

Yep. The shadow tunnels snake throughout the whole tree,

so we can sneak in without being seen.

Then what are we waiting for?

I'll tell ya! I don't know the way!

We might get lost and never come out!

[gasps] What about Bobo?

Bobo? The monkey who stole my magic stripes?

[laughs] You're joking, right?

When he became King of the Zanies,

they took him into the shadow tunnels.

He probably knows them backwards and forwards by now!

But we can't trust Bobo!

What if he tries to steal my stripes again?

I think he learned his lesson the last time.

And he's our best hope!

If that's true, we're in worse shape than I thought.

Cacahuate!

OK, we'll give Bobo a shot.

Hello! Anybody here?

Hola! We're the Zanies!

I'm Chavo!

Hi, Chavo. We've met before, remember?

-And that's Chico... - Hola!

-Chaca, Chiquita... - Hola!

- Hola! -Chuy...

How ya doin'?

-And Steve. -Yo.

Uh, we need to speak to Bobo.

Nobody here by that name!

Oh... Chavo! Hello?

Where's Bobo?

[Bobo] Psst...

[Elena] Bobo?

Bobo doesn't answer to "Bobo" anymore!

Bobo only answers to,

"Most Exalted, High Superior, Top Banana King"!

You've gotta be kidding me.

He's not!

Excuse me, we need to speak to the, uh...

Most Exalted, High Superior, Top Banana King, please?

Greetings, Princess Elena of Avalor

and... servant.

I am not a servant, and you're not a king.

-You're a thief! -[gasps]

How dare he insult the Most Exalted,

High Superior, Top Banana King?

You never apologized for that time you stole my stripes.

Tell your servant that a monarch never apologizes.

He's not my servant. You know that.

And monarchs do apologize.

Psh, no way! Then what's the point of being in charge?

Oh, please! What are you in charge of?

What am I in charge of?

[giggles]

Now let's take a ride to the dark side, shall we?

You're gonna have to move faster than that, Spirit Sloth!

I'm just keeping a safe distance

between us, stripe thief.

Uh, guys, please? Let's focus on rescuing Zuzo.

-Shadow tunnel, straight ahead! -Whoa!

[both grunt]

Well, now he owes you an apology, too.

How are we supposed to-- Aah! Ooo-ooh!

Ow, I got poked by something.

Careful! The tunnel has thorns!

Well, then, I wish we could see where we were going.

Hmm... [gasps]

Ya see? He left. I told you he couldn't be trusted.

There are Parraluz pods. I call 'em "Pop-Pops." [laughs]

-[pod pops] -[Elena and Cacahuate scream]

[giggles]

That's where you're taking us?!

There's got to be a better route.

Tell your servant he's welcome to stay behind.

Tell His Royal Monkeyness to keep his paws off my stripes.

-Not touching. -Get away.

-Not touching. -Get away.

-Not touching. -Get away!

-OK, I touched! [laughs] -He touched me!

Hey, both of you, knock it off!

This isn't about you or you. This is about rescuing Zuzo.

Remember Zuzo?

He got your stripes back,

and he made you the King of the Zanies.

So, for his sake, would you please stop arguing

and try to get along?

-You're right. OK. -OK.

Good. Bobo, lead the way.

Oh! I guess that makes me in charge, doesn't it?

[grumbles]

So, what do we do once we get there?

I don't know.

I wish Zuzo were here so I could ask him.

-Me, too. -Me, too. [gasps]

[chuckles]

He always knows just what to do.

He sure does.

Like that time you stole my stripes!

-[groans] -Oh, these stripes?

These stripes? The stripes I'm not touching?

Would you two stop it? We have to-- [gasps]

What is that?

-[crows cawing] -[Bobo] The dark side.

Ooo!

Is that really necessary?

Yeah, it is.

Look! Purple moth silk.

It gets thicker toward the left.

Orizaba's lair must be that way.

Wait! If we go back in the tunnels,

we can come out over there

and sneak up on her without being seen!

Good thinking, Bobo! Right, Cacahuate? Hm?

I suppose.

Come to your senses yet, dearie?

Have you really thought this through, Orizaba?

Because if I go down, then you can't have my stripes.

You won't be able to go back to the human world.

[gasping]

And you won't be going back

to any world!

[gasps] Zuzo!

We have to get her away from him!

Lemme at her! [grunting]

Careful, Bobo. Don't let her see the light.

The light! It hurts Orizaba.

We can use the glow pods to force her back!

And rescue Zuzo!

And I'll be a hero king!

OK, while you daydream about that,

we'll come up with a plan.

Forget that!

We have to go now,

before something happens to Zuzo!

We can't just charge in willy-nilly!

Guys, keep your voices down!

You have to obey me! I'm King of the Zanies!

Do I look like a Zany to you? Now let go of the pods!

No, you let go!

-[grunting] -No...

[both grunting]

[popping]

[gasps] The light!

No. No, no, no, no! [blowing]

Whew! Aah!

Hang on, Zuzo!

Princess Elena?

Huh?

Moths, after her!

-Elena, run! -[Elena panting]

Hm. [grunts]

When I said "run," I meant the other way.

-Yep. -[Orizaba laughs]

Well, well. Hello, Princess.

Leave her alone, Orizaba.

Oh, I will. If you give me your stripes!

[both grunt]

OK, OK! Let her go, and the stripes are yours.

No, Zuzo, don't!

I knew you'd come around.

Oh, no! Look what you did!

Me? You're the reason the pods went off.

If you hadn't grabbed them from me,

I coulda saved Zuzo!

Or gotten yourself caught!

Well, now Elena got caught, thanks to you!

Thanks to both of us.

We did this together.

[Zuzo whimpering]

I guess we did.

Well, that's one thing we agree on.

Look, I'm still angry at you for stealing my stripes.

And I'm angry at you for not respecting my kingliness.

What do you say we set aside our feud

and save our friends!

That's bananas!

But what if we set aside our feud

and save our friends?

That's what I just sa-- [grumbling]

Then let's do that, Your Majesty.

OK, I have a plan.

But I'm gonna need your magic stripes.

My stripes?!

Well, if it'll help our friends...

Vaya Raya Mistica!

I'm trusting you with one of my most prized possessions.

And I'm trusting you with mine.

I already told you. First, you let the princess go.

Then, I give you my stripes.

You are in no position to bargain!

- Hola, yoohoo! -[gasps]

Look what I have! Ooo, magic stripes! [laughs]

They're yours if you can catch me!

Then I guess they're mine!

-[Bobo laughs] -[Orizaba grunts]

[laughing]

[grunts]

Missed me!

[laughs]

[Orizaba grunts]

[both gasp]

Get the monkey!

[growling]

Wha--!

Ugh! Enough monkey business!

I want those stripes!

Bobo! What are you doing? Run!

Whoops!

[gasps] [exclaiming]

[Orizaba] This isn't over!

[Orizaba's voice echoing]

Sure seems over to me.

How about that. Your plan worked!

-[branch cracking] -Huh?

[both screaming]

[both gasping]

[sighs] Nice catch, guys.

I always thought you two would make a good team!

Thanks for coming to find me, Elena.

Even spirit guides need a little help every now and then.

Now that we're all safe and sound,

Here you go, Cacahuate.

Regresa Raya Mistica!

And here you go, Bobo.

[laughs] Eh... um...

I'm sorry about your crown.

It was worth it to get our friends back.

You know, I think Bobo deserves another chance

to earn his own chanul stripes.

Aw, thanks. But I'm perfectly happy being

the Most Exalted, High Superior Top Banana King.

Nuh-uh!

Don't you mean "Hero King"?

Aww!

[grunts]

Mmm.

Would you look at that?

Ah, it's like they're old friends.

Oh! That reminds me.

There's something I have to take care of back home.

Can you give me a lift?

Of course, Princess.

[both] Bye!

I like them.

[Elena] Hey.

Oh. Hey.

-I'm sorry I-- -I shouldn't have--

[chuckles] You first.

I'm sorry I was so hardheaded.

I've got ya beat there.

You know, if we put our hard heads together,

I'm sure we can figure this out.

I am, too.

OK. We need a taller lighthouse, right?

Right, but without tearing the old one down.

Hmm.

So, what if we move the old lighthouse

to higher ground?

You mean, dismantle it...

[Elena] And rebuild it on one of those rocks!

Then it will be visible from way out in the ocean!

Problem solved!

Should I assemble the rest of the Grand Council

so you can tell them your great idea?

Let's tell them together.
