[theme music playing]
[blows fanfare]
[grunts]
Ladies and gentle critters,
subjects of the forest kingdom,
we are the Dukes of the Western Forest.
My brother, Duke Runt,
is here to make an important announcement.
Take it away!
Thank you, Duke Stinky.
Princess Claudette will soon arrive.
Please bow respectfully when she does.
Claudette, just pretend the caribou are bowing.
Greetings, my kind subjects.
Hark! Where is my Prince Fleet?
[Fleet] I am here, my fair princess.
[Claudette] Fleet, the prince of nobility,
of awesomeness,
of fleetness!
We're ready to receive the visiting bear royalty.
Lady Agnes, please make the introductions.
[clears throat]
[sings grating fanfare]
[fanfare singing continues]
Lady Agnes, stop!
[fanfare ends]
Introduce the Bear King.
Sorry, I was just getting into it.
[clears throat]
Ladies and gentle critters,
I give you Brent, the Bear King!
[taps stone]
-[thud] -Holy pine cone!
[Brent yawns]
Hey, sorry, I was napping.
[scoffs] Brent! We can't play Animal Kingdom
if you don't play the role correctly.
True royalty inspires and leads!
[Stinky] Fearless, active, courageous!
[yawns]
And awake!
-[Brent snoring] -Game over.
So much for practicing for the Queen Bear's arrival.
Speaking of the Queen, where is she?
Hopefully she gets here soon,
so we can see her and get back home.
Yeah, 'cause if Mom and Dad find out we came all the way to the Eastern Forest,
we'll get a royal punishment!
Speaking of royal, look! The royal messengers.
[birds chirping]
Oh, no! My bird phobia!
Donna, if those two gents don't hurry up and ask us out--
Seriously, Marge, what are they waiting for?
Don't they know glamour when they see it?
[belches]
Ohhhh, look, hold on. Royal birdie alert.
[birds chirping]
Marge, did you hear that?
Yes! The Bear Queen and Princess Canue are coming!
We need to clean up!
[Beast] WHAT!
All I ask for is five solid hours of sleep.
and leave the morning calls to the roosters, would ya?
Alright, I'm coming. Don't get your feathers
in a twist, you bunch of squeaky--
Oh, royal birds.
[chirping]
The Bear Queen and Princess Canue are coming?
I gotta get this place fixed up.
Oy, okay, you Nutters!
Spiff this forest up. Royalty's on the way!
Canue, where is your crown?
Magpie brought it ahead of time for me.
Are you not excited for your first state visit to the Eastern Forest?
So excited, Mother.
I sure wish Father could have come.
You know the rules, Canue.
One royal must always guard the kingdom.
Your Majesty, we've almost reached our destination.
I'll secure the area.
-Claw will stay here with you. -Thank you, Strom.
It is a shame this region has fallen into the paws of Rogue Wolves.
But it is safe now, right?
Yes, Your Majesty. I visited just two weeks ago.
There was no sign of them.
Well, they do tend to move on.
[overlapping chatter]
Greetings, everyone, I'm Magpie, Head of Protocol.
When you see Queen Bear and Princess Canue,
bow until they pass.
So, which one is Vernon?
It is I.
Did you get the royal tune?
Ah, si. We are ready.
[bagpipe music playing]
How's the pitch? You like? Eh?
Perfect.
Your Highness, the Eastern Forest
has been prepared for your entrance.
Thank you, Magpie.
I'm just waiting for Strom to confirm the safety of the area.
[Strom] All's well, Your Majesty.
Canue, I'll go out first and introduce you.
Now, get your crown on.
[overlapping chatter]
Ladies and gentle critters,
I am proud to present the sovereign matriarch
of the Sovereign Bear Kingdom and her territories,
Her Royal Majesty Queen Bear.
[cheers and applause]
[chittering]
Greetings.
Queen Bear, you're so beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
And that crown kills it!
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Beast is my name.
The Nutters of the Eastern Forest
proudly present... nuts!
Thank you, Beast. Thank you, Nutters.
Did you hear that, boys?
She said my name-- Beast!
Ach! Gets me right in the ticker.
Hello, young wolves.
Hello, Your Highness.
We don't live in the Eastern Forest.
We're from the Western Forest.
Our grandfather's the leader out there.
You must be the grandpups of Winston and Eve,
and your parents are Kate and Humphrey.
I met them once. Lovely wolves.
Give them my best.
Well, we can't, Your Majesty,
because we snuck over here.
If they found out we went to the Eastern Forest,
we'd be in a lot of trouble.
Naughty, naughty.
Hello, there.
Ooh!
[sings grating fanfare]
I've been practicing all week for this moment.
All right, thank you.
That was a very committed performance.
And it's so nice to meet you, young bear.
[snoring]
Ohh! Uhh!
What an honor, Your Highness.
Ladies and gentle critters,
I present Princess Canue.
[up-tempo music playing]
Whoa!
[pleased reactions]
[music continuing]
We're here at the welcoming ceremony of Queen Bear and Princess Canue.
Don't they look great, Marge?
Donna, the Queen's looking very stately
in a traditional regal crown,
and, oh, the Princess's head piece,
Pippa couldn't top it.
[humming]
[awestruck reactions]
A bit over the top, is it not?
[Magpie] The young ones love it.
Wow! She's hot!
She's beautiful, huh?
-Huh? -[bear grunts]
My name is Brent. Do you tweet?
No, but I chirp. [giggles]
Sorry, Mother, couldn't resist.
Clearly.
Denizens of the Eastern Forest,
meet my modern daughter, Princess Canue.
[cheers and applause]
[menacing growling]
[howling]
[gasps] Rogue wolves!
[howling]
[panicked cries]
If those rogues think they're gonna touch those crowns,
they'll feel the wrath of our antlers!
[roar]
Magpie, get Canue out of here now. Now!
Come this way, Princess Canue!
No, Mother. You said a Queen never fears, and always leads.
As your mother and your Queen,
I order you to go-- now!
[panicked cries]
[roars]
[howling]
Okay, Nutters.
Ready... aim... fire!
[wolves yelp]
You young critters, please leave now.
Go to your homes.
We want to help you, Queen Bear.
We know this forest. We can take you to a safe spot.
Then please help Canue.
But go now!
Rogue wolves, as Sovereign Queen of the Bear Kingdom,
I command you to halt!
This is our forest. You're not my queen.
The forest belongs to all of its inhabitants.
Shouldn't you be at Bear Lake?
Get me the Princess!
[yelp]
[wolves snarling]
Princess Canue!
The Queen sent us to help you. Let's find a place to hide.
Alert the kingdom we have been attacked.
[screaming roar]
Sire! Sire! You can't go to the Eastern Forest.
Remember, one leader must always stay to guard the capital.
Then you stay here, Louis.
I'm not royalty, Sir. I'm just your chief advisor.
My Queen and my daughter.
I shouldn't have let them go.
Strom told me it was safe.
What is your counsel, Louis?
They want to lure you into the Eastern Forest,
capture you and take over the kingdom.
I shall send troops instead.
What do the Rogue Wolves want of us bears?
We can't help them create an alpha wolf race.
[Louis] Oh, indeed you can, sire.
He who controls the water controls the valley.
Send a message to our allies, the Western Wolves.
Ask for Winston.
[wolves snarling]
[gripping music playing]
[snarling]
This way.
[grunts, yelps]
Very smart, Stinky.
An obstacle course will slow them down.
We've got to break these wolves up.
Agnes!
Excuse me, I've got to make some road kill!
What is she doing?
Being underestimated.
Oh, look, a porcupine!
We're so afraid!
[singing fanfare]
[grunt, yelp]
[Stinky] One down, one to go.
And the one is gaining on us very quickly!
[snarl, yelp]
[Canue] Is there a way we can use his speed against him?
My mother taught me that.
Good idea.
I've learned a lot of things from my mother too,
like a spinout. It's simple.
You plant your front paws in the dirt
and shift your weight backward,
right before that!
Got it!
But first, we need a dust-up.
Make 'em eat dirt-- literally.
When I say "now," everyone spin to the left!
Now!
[screams]
[hard landing, yelp]
Oh, yeah, another one bites the dust.
[birds chirping]
Oh. Royal messengers of the Bear King?
-[chirping] -Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm? I see.
Winston, come out here, please.
[Winston] What is it, Eve? I'm doing my business.
Winston, royal birdies from the King Bear are here.
They need to talk to you.
Hello. I'm Winston.
[chirping]
The Queen Bear was attacked by Rogue Wolves,
and Princess Canue is missing,
but was last seen with our grandpups?
Tell the Bear King that help's on the way.
[howling]
[howling echoes]
Now, that's refreshing.
Mm-hmm.
Cool mountain water sure hits the spot. [chuckles]
[resounding howl]
That's my father. Let's go, Humphrey.
Wow, Kate, I haven't heard a howl like that
since I was late getting you home after our first date!
The pups were supposed to be out scouting,
and they went all the way to the Eastern Forest?
Wait a minute.
There they are with...
Princess Canue?
You guys better go home.
We're in a heap of trouble.
Oh, please, come in. Make yourself comfortable.
What a day you've had.
Oh, where are my manners?
Eve, what are you doing?
It's called a curtsy!
A very low curtsy.
Thank you, Eve.
Princess Canue, we're sorry to hear about your mother.
Are you hungry?
He only chewed one side.
The other side's clean.
Oh, where are my manners? This is royalty.
Fillets are in order.
Caribou or moose? I'll go make a quick kill.
I'm fine, thank you.
So, our pups saved you?
[chuckles] I hope they didn't go to the Eastern Forest,
where the Rogue Wolves are.
They'd be very grounded if they did.
Uh, we did, Dad.
You are so grounded.
Well, actually, the pups saved my life.
They were kind, brave and selfless.
You have wonderful children.
So, are we still grounded?
Sorry to barge in, but we came to borrow a cup of caribou broth.
Ah, for once the gossip is true.
Princess Canue is here.
Well, don't just stand there, bird. Bow.
It's tragic that the Queen was attacked.
Nice to meet you both.
Oh, this is Magpie, Head of Protocol.
Hello.
[romantic music playing]
I saw her first.
I'm sure Magpie would like to meet something
more than a peasant-class goose.
I am Paddy, of royal lineage.
Many flocks ago, my ancestors swam in St. James Park...
just outside Buckingham.
Yeah, sure, Paddy-- with pigeons, no less.
I'm Marcel, of French origin.
Yeah, he's French if you count Montreal. [scoffs]
Thank you all for helping us.
I'm most worried about my mother, the Queen.
We'll send support.
Kate and Humphrey will go to the Eastern Forest.
We will always be there for our friends.
My thanks to all of you.
[Beast] Oh, it was nothing, Your Majesty.
The Nutters may be small, but we're tough.
And we're not gonna let
a bunch of fashion-challenged Rogue Wolves
take down the Queen, right Donna?
Right, Marge. And let's give it up for the other caribou.
[snarling]
[soft whimper]
[growl]
[growling]
[dramatic music playing]
Strom and Claw were a part of this ambush.
I must return to the King.
There are traitors working against us.
[Beast] Okay, my Queen,
let's hatch a plan to get you back.
How could she have vanished?
She must be getting help from the locals.
She's in there!
[wolves howling]
[dramatic music playing]
[chittering]
[Beast] Okay, Nutters, bite hard!
-[Nutters chomping] -[wolves yelping in pain]
For the Queen!
Well done, my knights with furry tails!
[dramatic music playing]
Well done, Lady Donna!
[low growl]
[wolves snarling]
[combat grunts]
She is definitely the Queen.
Flank them!
[wolves snarling]
[chittering]
Our options are growing more limited, Your Majesty.
Queen Bear, we're here to help.
We have your daughter, Canue.
-She's safe. -Thank goodness!
We outnumber you!
You think we came unprepared?
[howling]
Meet the Western pack.
Rogues, back to the forest!
Oh! That was easy.
Thank you, Kate and Humphrey, and many thanks to your pups.
They are amazing.
I need to get to the king.
There are traitors among the bears.
We'll take you.
The army's ready, sire.
The Rogue Wolves want our lake.
Its water feeds the valley, and they want control of it
to extort the wolf packs downstream.
This cannot and will not happen.
[distant howling]
Sire! Strom and Claw!
Your Majesty.
Strom, what happened?
I was wrong. The area wasn't safe.
It's overrun with rogues.
I'm afraid they captured the Queen.
There are 40 rogues, maybe more.
Then we'll need the entire army.
[Louis] My Lord, some should remain to protect the kingdom.
Louis, if we don't send adequate reinforcements,
they'll overrun our entire army.
Claw and I will protect the King.
Like you protected the Queen and Canue?
Stop this, now!
Send everyone!
[all roaring]
Traitors! You're both traitors!
What are you talking about, Louis?
You fought rogue wolves while protecting the Queen?
Mm, interesting not a single injury.
Combat with 40 wolves would have caused some injury,
if not fatality.
[laughter]
Very good, Louis. What a smart advisor.
[impact grunt]
[roars]
[screaming]
Poor King. Poor Louis.
King Strom-- I like the roar of that!
[roaring]
Where are my subjects?
Uh, we just sent them to the Eastern Forest.
[chuckling] Uh, hello!
Oh, right. Well, the Rogues should be here soon
for their first state visit.
[snoring]
[whispering] I have to go.
I have a feeling Mother survived,
but I also have a feeling my father's in trouble.
It's very dangerous there, Princess Canue.
A queen always leads, inspires, and is fearless.
Spoken like your mother.
[all snoring]
You guys wake up. Canue's gone.
Princess Canue! Princess Canue!
Oh, hello.
We noticed you were gone.
I have to go back to the kingdom.
Strom and Claw are traitors. I can feel it.
They told us the area was safe, then we got attacked.
Then let us escort you.
Yeah, 'cause we know every shortcut in the valley.
We can lead you there in half the time.
Clearly. Let's go.
The King sent the bear army into the Eastern Forest to find me.
I am confident that Beast, Marge and Donna will steer them right.
The bear army's very loyal.
But now Strom has the Rogues on his side.
The Rogue Wolves and the traitors
will never cooperate well.
We must divide and conquer.
Yes, the Rogue Wolves will soon be arriving.
Wow, strong women.
Well, when the Rogue Wolves arrive,
why don't I go and divide and then you two can conquer.
Got an idea?
Ever heard of a Trojan wolf?
[geese honking]
Hey, you four!
Where's the royal music?
Ah, si.
[bagpipe music playing]
Oh, look, the Rogue Wolves are arriving.
[chittering]
Hey!
I am Sir Evin,
Sergeant-at-Arms of the royal family.
-I'm Donna. -And I'm Marge.
And I'm Beast.
Eh, we trust that you're loyal.
My boys checked you all out.
[chittering]
We couldn't help but overhear that you're looking for the Queen.
Yes. Have you seen her?
We will not rest until we find her.
Princess Canue, the coast is clear.
Princess Canue.
Sir Evin, we are in grave danger.
We must return to reclaim our kingdom.
With pleasure, Your Highness.
And if I may say, Princess Canue,
I know your parents well, and they would be
most proud of your leadership in these dire times.
King Rogue,
observe your new kingdom that we now share.
Thank you, Strom. Well done.
Let's see. You four, entertain our guests
with a celebratory song to commemorate the new kingdom.
[bagpipe music playing]
Can't they play something more cheerful?
[all whimpering]
I feel so depressed!
Come on, pick up the pace. Let's get a beat in there.
A-one and a-two!
[bagpipe music at faster pace]
-[phonograph record scratches] -Yoo-hoo!
My name's Jester, the court jester for hire!
Just passing through to hit all of the kingdoms.
So that is a Trojan wolf.
No one works a crowd like Humphrey.
Just passing through?
Yes! Like the traveling circus.
And look! Two bears and 40 bored wolves!
That's for sure!
Okay. I need something with pace,
and a nice melody that won't hurt.
Oh! Are diplomatic relations in trouble?
Look, I've got this,
and I'll even throw in some dancing.
I've got clown dancing, a bit of mime,
and even M.J.!
It is pretty good.
Okay, okay, you're hired, um...
Jester.
Let me work with the geese.
[whispering]
Thank you for helping me.
Oh, it was our pleasure.
I must ask you to hide here
while we retake our kingdom.
Is there somewhere you can hide?
Yeah, I know somewhere safe.

[Stinky] Oh, I see what Dad's doing!
He's pitting the pitiful against each other!
Go, Dad!
My Queen!
Canue's fine. She's waiting with the bear army
back at the forest edge.
Your husband lies in wait.
Wonderful. Tell Canue to prepare the army
to charge on my command.
Let the King know we are taking the kingdom back.
My pack stands ready to support the attack.

They have to be loyal to their King.
[growls]

In the name of the Sovereign Bear Kingdom, charge!
Rogues attack!
Attack!

[upbeat music playing]
On behalf of the Bear Kingdom,
I would like the following friends of the court to step forward:
Marge, Donna, Beast.
[bagpipe music playing]
As King of Bear Mountain, I dub you Sir Beast of the Nutters.
And you two caribou,
I dub you Lady Marge and Lady Donna of the Eastern Forest.
Here we are, Kate,
proud parents once again.
Always.
But I think we're about to be even more proud.
Stinky, Claudette, and Runt,
please step forward with your parents and grandparents.
I hereby dub ye Duke Stinky, Duke Runt,
and Duchess Claudette,
the highest honor I can bestow,
for their exceptional courage and kindness.
Let's celebrate!
[energetic music playing]
[comical cry]
My name is Brent.
Well, look who wants to dance.
Let me check my social calendar.
Absolutely.
Let's hoof it, guys!
Lady Magpie, want to flutter?
Come on, let us shake, rattle and roll!
[Stinky] Hey, guys, just imagine,
we went from playing Animal Kingdom...
[Claudette] to being nobility.
[Runt] Let's rock this palace!
