SYBIL: Hi, Twilight! You look different. Let me guess: you had trimmed your hair to make yourself beautiful. Ooh! Maybe you took face painting lessons. No! Wait! It's your wings. They have rainbow colours!
May I have your attention, please?
May I have your attention, please?
Have you ever been to Australia Zoo??
I repeat, have you ever been to Australia Zoo?
We're gonna have a problem here.
Y'all act like you never seen Steve Irwin before
Jaws belong to all the animals who give a roar
And lots of animals make crowds beg for more
Because so many animals want love (WHA?!)
I think you’re all knowing why I wrote this song
You didn't just say this song’s going to be meta?
And Mei-Mei said-, nothing you idiots
Mei-Mei's kidnapped by animal thieves (ROAR!)
That’s why we wanted more folks
Chicka-chicka-chicka Scream Street, I'm sick of it
Look at it, walkin' around, howlin’ you-know-what
Taking things out his cloak, yeah, but he's so cute though
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse, than what's goin' on in Mae’s bedroom
Sometimes Beep goes on TV and lets loose, but can't
But it's cool for a dinosaur to deliver poetry
Learn the ABC, learn the ABC
Toilets are for weeing if you need a little pe
And that's what the Wiggles deliver to little kids
And expect them not to know what language skills are
Of course, they're gonna know what patterns is
By the time they hit preschool
They got Teletubbies Everywhere, don't they?
We ain't nothin' but mammals
Well, some of us are apes
But save it for your next wildlife tour
But if we can find the animals and study them
Then there's no reason that Starlight Glimmer and I can't be buddies then!
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
Kids wave your zoo flags, sing the chorus and it goes...
I'm Sybil, the animal study
All you other studiers are just imitating
So won't you join in with our Animal Rap
Animal Rap, Animal Rap
'Cause I'm Sybil, yes, I'm a real expert
All you other animal experts, are just imitating
So won't you join in with our Animal Rap
Animal Rap, Animal Rap
MC Grammar is so boring he could put a crowd to sleep
Well I’m not, so not him and not you too
You think I give a cake about a tiger
Half of you critics can't even stomach it
When a tiger eats and burps (UUUURRRP!)
But Sybil, what if you become a zookeeper
Why, so you guys can just lie to get me here
So you can sit me here next to Bindi and Terry?
Wow, I think Mort would better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Mort, Pop & Uncle Joe
And hear 'em argue over which place they want to go
Little kids put me on blast on CBBC
Yeah, he's cute, but I think she's married to Luke, hehe!
I should download the noises of my animal friends
And show the whole world, how CBBC came to an end (ahh!)
I'm sick of you boring TV channels, all you are is American
So I have been sent here to destroy you
And there's a million of us just like me
Who play like me, who just likes to give hugs like me
Who dress like me, walk talk and act like me
And just might be, the next best thing, but not quite me
'Cause I'm Sybil, the animal expert
All you other experts, are just imitating
So will you join in with our animal rap
Animal rap, animal rap
'Cause I'm Sybil, yes, an animal expert
All you other animal experts, are just imitating
So won't you join in with our animal rap?
Animal rap, animal rap
I'm like a eye trip to watch, 'cause I'm only givin' you
Things you joke about with your friends inside your livin' room
The only difference is I got the mind to say it in front of y'all
And I don't gotta be false or sugar-coat it at all
I just get on the mic and scream t
And whether you like to admit it, I just bite it
Better than ninety percent of you experts out can
Then you wonder, how can kids eat up these songs like burgers?
It's funny 'cause at the rate I'm goin' when I'm 20
I'll be the only kid in the nursin' home with plenty
Catching butterflies while I'm hangin’ with Mackenzie
And I'm twerkin' but this whole bag of sweets isn't workin'
In every single person there's a Sybil lurkin'
He could be workin' at Woolworths, looking at pretty things
Or in the playground circling, screaming in joy
With her pride up and her clothes off
So won’t you join in with our animal rap
And put one of those fingers, on your hand and CLAP!
And be proud to be outta your mind and outta control
And one more time loud as you can, how does it go?
*record scratch*
Haha, guess there's an animal in all of us, Sybil. What have you got to say
Cupcakes, let's all roar loudly!
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!
One morning in Eternia, Furaha and her family were settling down with Prince Adam and his friends for breakfast when a scroll magically appeared. Orko, who was sitting at the table, knew how scrolls appear this way. “It’s from Trolla!” he cried, “Ah, Trolla, my home planet. Hadn’t been here since Lord Mufasa knows when.” “Let’s see…” said Man At Arms, unrolling the scroll. “Oh! It’s from your father, Orko. Looks like you haven’t seen him in a long time.” “I didn’t know Orko had a dad!” said Furaha. “His parents live a long way away, so this is a very special scroll.” He read it out loud:
Dear everyone,
Just a reminder that my wife Erna announced she was pregnant the other day. She’ll be giving birth to a brand new baby. Orko would be pleased to have a baby brother to play with, we can’t wait to visit and tell him the good news.
Love,
Orno
Orko’s tummy filled with butterflies. He knew that when a new baby arrived on the scene, it would mean ignorance. He got up off his chair and floated away to his room. “Wait! Orko!” cried Furaha, but Prince Adam grabbed her by the tail and stopped her. “And just where do you think you’re going?” “Nowhere, nowhere.” giggled Furaha, trying to soften Adam’s mood. “Ah, I see you want to comfort Orko.” “Mmmm,” agreed Furaha, “I think he’s not feeling right.” “Then you go and see to him then.” agreed her father Kiburi, “We’ll clean up the breakfast things.” “We’ll help!” called out Lanka. “Me too!” said Maziwa, “Shame Furaha’s not helping.”
Furaha raced up the stairs and ran to the door to Orko’s room. She knocked loudly. “ORKO!” she cried. “Haven’t you heard?” “Go away,” said Orko from the other side of the door. “But Orko, this has to be thrilling news, and I dealt with it before.” Furaha burst through the door into Orko’s room and called out, “A baby is arriving, and it’s straight from Trolla!” Orko screamed and hid under his duvet. “What’s the matter, Orko?” asked Furaha, comforting Orko and sounding a lot quieter. “I heard it all,” wailed Orko. “You’re going to have a little brother.” “But Prince Adam hasn’t seen a baby Trollan in ages!” sighed Orko. “Yeah, weird right? You’re a big brother, I’m going to be a big sister to this new baby. I’m already a big sister to Wing, I can already hear him downstairs playing with his wooden aeroplane.” From downstairs came the sound of Wing making plane noises as he crawled across the floor. “And I was already learning about sisterhood when a baby called Dil was born. I remember it like it was yesterday.” “But I don’t want to have a baby brother!” whimpered Orko, “I’ll become ignored and get kicked out of the palace. Then Skeletor will really take over Eternia and turn He-Man into soup for his tea!” Orko began to cry, but Furaha was always a comforting cub, and gave him a warm hug.
“You’ll always be like a little brother to me, in fact, every single friend I’ve made is like a little or big brother or sister to me. I’ve embraced siblinghood so much that I’ve come to consider the world as my family. As for Skeletor, don’t you remember you used your magic and the power of the sword to turn back time and make Skeletor and his men reformed?” Orko looked puzzled. Then, he instantly remembered. “Yes! I know! I was made a hero!” He clapped his bony blue hands with excitement. “Then you will cope with a new baby in the palace, I just know it.” In the next few days, Prince Adam told Furaha that Orko’s mother will come to Eternia with the baby soon, and both got very excited.
On the day of the arrival of Erna and her new baby, Orko and Furaha waited excitedly for the spaceship to arrive. “I can’t believe it! I’m going to be a big brother!” smiled Orko, “I’ll do everything with my new brother!” “Everything you will do,” laughed Furaha. Also waiting for the spaceship are all of Furaha’s family, Prince Adam, Teela, Man At Arms, Man-E-Faces, Buzz-Off and Ram Man. They all waiting with anticipation for Erna’s spaceship to arrive. Ram Man, who had a soft heart for little ones, was carrying a bouquet for flowers for Erna. Buzz Off had made some honey. Even Man At Arms was excited for the new baby’s arrival. Suddenly, Upendi called “Look!” and everyone looked up to see the spaceship land. “Oh there it is! There it is!” they all shouted. Furaha and Orko took hold of each others’ hands and danced about, singing “New baby brother! New baby brother!” while Furaha sang in Swahili, “Kaka mtoto mpaya! Kaka mtoto mpaya!”
Out of the spaceship emerged Erna, who looked a lot like Orko, but taller and feminine. She was holding a cloaked, hooded little Trollan in her arms, and it was gurgling and cooing in happiness. “Mum!” cried Orko, and he screeched to a halt, because there was a new baby in her arms. “Hello, Orko, my darling magician, I haven’t seen you in quite a long time. Now’s the time you’re gonna meet someone very special. This is your brother Squange. Squange, this is Orko.” Orko gasped softly. “Wow,” he sighed, and kissed his little brother on the forehead. “Woah,” everyone gasped. “See,” said Man-At-Arms, “They already love each other.” “I think Orko’s getting to be a real good big brother,” smiled Furaha, and memories came flooding back of Dil’s birth: Didi screaming in pain as Dil emerged, Tommy meeting Dil, and Stu giving Tommy his watch.
In the coming days, Adam and the other castle residents were asked to look after Erna because she was really tired and needed plenty of rest. Ram Man had a soft heart for the baby, and all the other men showed their softer side to the baby as well. Everyone felt like family to the new baby, especially Furaha’s own family, and Furaha felt like a big sister, keeping very quiet and looking after Erna. However, as these days passed, Orko suddenly felt ignored. Adam was always busy cleaning up dirty dinner plates from feeding Squange, when he wanted to do all the magic to help him. “No, Orko,” he said, “Your reckless plate smashing will wake up Erna and Squange.”
Then when he saw Teela change Squange, he asked if he could use his magic to change him. “No thank you, Orko, such a job like this stinks.” groaned Teela sarcastically. Sadly, Orko floated off. When it was teatime, Adam, Teela and Erna fed the baby some mushy food and would never serve Orko his own tea, so Kiburi had to do it for him. He was so upset that he couldn’t be bothered to talk and laugh with his friends, and even was put off his food. Later, in his room, Orko sat on his bed and grumbled to himself. “It’s not fair,” he moaned, “Babies are like kings and queens of the world. All the attention they get is the attention they give me. I think being a big brother is a really stupid idea.” “Stupid? Why do you want to call your new responsibility stupid?” asked Furaha. “Because I was right about being ignored, no one would want to be my friend now, and it’s all because Squange is getting more attention than me.”
“Well, don’t tell anyone around here, but you know what? According to my good friend Angelica Pickles, a baby is messy, and…” She took a deep breath, and gave a great lion roar. “LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDD!!!” Orko sat upright, puzzled. Then both friends began to laugh. Furaha leapt onto the bed and fell onto her back, laughing with Orko. The two friends felt a sense of relief, and Orko suddenly had an idea. “Wait! We can give one of my toys to the baby! That’s much better than using magic to solve any kind of problem.” “Good idea, you’re certainly getting into the swing of things now.” So Orko got out his pink stuffed animal and both took it downstairs into the palace courtyard, where Buzz Off was playing with the baby.
“Hey, you two, what you got there?” asked Buzz Off. “A present, just for the best little brother in the world.” smiled Orko, and he gave his brother a pink soft toy. He then looked at Orko with gleaming eyes, and said his first word: “Baba.” “Aaaaaaawww, he called you a brother,” smiled Buzz Off. “I think you two are finally getting along. You’re the one who has the power now, not Prince Adam.” “Oi!” It was Prince Adam. “Who says I don’t have the power? We all have a power inside our hearts. Orko, you’ve learned that with great power, comes great responsibility, and with great responsibility comes a true act of kindness. Furaha, you’ve learnt that too. You two are the best big brothers and sisters ever.” The two friends hugged, and Orko picked up Squange and hugged him between them both.
From this day on, Orko helped care for his baby brother whenever he came to Eternia - even without his magic. He helped Adam wash up, he helped Teela change his nappy, and he even chatted and laughed with his friends at dinner, offering to help feed little Squange - and getting a bit messy sometimes. Furaha too learned that having a little brother was a comforting thing to have, but when a little brother has a little brother of his own…it’s an even bigger responsibility.
And Orko loved it.

One morning in the park, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella, Dixon, Bluey, Bingo and I were playing tag with Doug. Doug was the chaser, and we loved running around trying to escape from the not-so-flesh hungry zombie. I was running like crazy, trying to get away from Doug, and hid behind a tombstone so he couldn’t find me. Doug looked all around for a minute, then he saw a spike of my curly hair popping out from behind the tombstone. Doug crept up slowly and quietly towards the grave and yelled, “Boo, dude!” I screamed. Not because he was scary, but because something was really wrong with him. His left eye had fallen out of his socket on purpose. “Someone help!” I cried.
“Sorry, dudes, it seems that my eye had fallen out on purpose when I was playing tag with you.” said Doug. “Then where did you last leave it?” asked Bingo. “In my socket of course!” said Doug, then his face fell. “Only…I haven’t seen it since I last made Cleo it. Where’s my eye, WHERE’S MY EYE?!” “Calm down, Doug. We can, like, find your eye for you.” said Luella. “You said it, Luella, we all have to split up and search this very park for Doug’s eye. On your marks…” “Stop that noise!” cried Cleo. “Why?” we all asked. “Because we need to say something other than go. What about Eyeballs?” “Eyeballs it is,” said Dixon. Luella gagged a little.
“On your marks, get set, eyeballs!”
Everyone raced around the park searching for Doug’s eyeball. They searched by the swings and the slide and the seesaw, and near the climbing frame, and they even asked their parents and somehow Zecora, but nobody seemed to find Doug’s eye. I was just on the verge of giving up when Dig ran up to me, his nose sniffing in the air. “Hello, boy!” I smiled, “What do you smell?” Dig closed one eye to indicate he has done the impossible. My friends came racing up to me. “What is it? What’s Dig trying to say?” asked Resus. “I think he says he knows where Doug’s eyeball is. Come on, let’s follow him!” I said.
We raced after Dig along the park, until Dig stopped at where he found Doug’s eyeball. It was sitting on a swing. “My eye!” cried Doug. “Hooray!” we all cried. Then, Doug noticed something: Chloe was about to have a turn on the swings. Quickly, Doug grabbed his eye and stuffed it back into its socket. “Phew,” we all sighed. “Thank you for finding my eye, half doggy dude,” said Doug, “Without you, I think I would’ve never found my eye.” “And you deserve biccies for this.” I smiled, and took a dog biscuit out of my pocket. Dig crunched away happily, knowing even pets can be heroes if they helped their masters with the most important and tricky tasks.
One afternoon in the Hundred Acre Wood, Rabbit was working in his garden until it was almost dark. He had planted lots of carrots, potatoes and cucumbers, and was just setting to work on watering his prize winning tomatoes when all of a sudden, someone nabbed him by the neck. “Ow! Who did that? If it’s Tigger again, I’ll-” But it wasn’t Tigger. It was Anti-Pesto, the managers of the company Wallace & Gromit. “We’ve got him, lad!” cheered Wallace, patting his trusty pooch on the head, and they threw rabbit into the back of their van. Rabbit banged on the van, calling “Let me out! Let me out! Somebody!” But Wallace and Gromit didn’t hear. They just drove off down the lane with Rabbit pounding on the door all the way.
In another forest, Bugs Bunny was waking up in his underground home. “Gee, what a night. Drinking too much carrot juice really did my head in.” As he was climbing out of his hole after brushing his teeth with carrot toothpaste, he found himself in a bird like cage. “Hey! What gives?” he cried. “That should take care of the carrots that are stored underground by that rascally rabbit!” smiled Wallace. “Come on, Gromit, let’s go home and get the kettle on.” “Kettle?” asked Bugs, confused. But Anti-Pesto were already driving him away back to West Wallaby Street. “Lemme out!” he cried, “I have a wife and kids! Millions’a kids!” While there, he looked around and saw Rabbit sitting in the corner of the van and whimpering. “Eh, what’s up doc?” said Bugs Bunny. “What’s up? I already knew what is up. There I was out in my garden when all of a sudden someone nabbed me and put me in the van!” “Me too. I’m Bugs Bunny. You must be Rabbit.” “Pleased to meet you,” smiled Rabbit, trying his best to be very pollite. “Quiet back there!” shouted Wallace, but he swerved to avoid a passing driver and Rabbit hit his head on the wall, seeing stars. Bugs Bunny hit his head against the wall too, but this time he ended up as an accordion….as all Looney Tunes do.
When they got back to West Wallaby Street, Rabbit and Bugs were thrown into a large hutch alongside…well, Hutch. “Charming, I’m Wallace,” he greeted. He took a large piece of Swiss cheese and a cream cracker and ate it all up. “See what you think,” he said as he offered Rabbit and Bugs one. “Thanks,” said Rabbit. “Why thanks, stranger,” said Bugs. The two ate, and the squeaky sounds of combined cheese and crackers filled their mouths. “Listen, doc, we’ve got to find a way outta this.” “Thank goodness,” said Rabbit, “I miss Pooh and Piglet already. In fact, I do miss them. Shouting at them for ruining my garden…I’m so guilty.” “Don’t be so hard on yourself, long-ears.” reassured Bugs, but Rabbit pushed him away. “NO! I won’t be easy. I was so stressed, all I ever did during the time Tigger went out searching for his family was yell at everyone in the Hundred Acre Wood, and it’s all my fault.”
Rabbit went to the corner of the hutch and cried. “Aaaaawww,” said Hutch, “The bounce has gone from his bungee.” Bugs stuffed a slice of Swiss cheese into Hutch’s mouth sarcastically and went to console Rabbit. “Go away,” he whimpered. “Listen, doc, all the times you have spent yelling at your friends…it’s not right. You should treat all your friends with more dignity and just let Tigger help clean the vegetable patch after he’s demolished it like a bulldozer with a wrecking ball.” “I know. But how do we get out of here?” “Want a plan?” asked Bugs, “I’m your rabbit.” Using Rabbit as something to bar the door down, Bugs charged with a hysterical scream, and both rabbits came tumbling out, landing safely by some rabbit hutches. Wallace came down to see what all the noise was. “We’re sorry, sir.” said Rabbit. “I’m too young to fall victim to your worthless brainwashing!” “I suppose you don’t eat things apart from carrots, do you?” “Sure,” said Rabbit, “I eat honey on bread.” “And I eat things I find in a restaurant. Fruit, cakes, sandwiches, anything.” “Then I forgive you everything. Come, we were just about to have some cheese.”
Both rabbits came into the living room to have something warm to drink, and a nice piece of cheese and crackers. And when Rabbit got back to the Hundred Acre Wood, he became nicer and calmer towards everyone he met, including Tigger, who offered to help clean up his garden after making lots of mess. Meanwhile, Bugs made his way back to the forest, but not before leaping into his hole from hearing the words:
“Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbits!”
