Watch Marsupilami

While playing around in the jungle, the Marsu babies come across a strange, ball-shaped plant. Tossing and kicking it, they bring it back to camp, and it ends up in Aunt Diane's vegetable patch. The botanist unwittingly plants it, only to find that this new plant grows like a weed, threatening the other flowers and vegetables. Its roots spread beneath the entire campsite, which seems to fascinate Aunt Diane. Hector and Marsu quickly realize that all their nearest and dearest are starting to behave strangely. In fact, they all suddenly start living solely to feed, nurse, and take care of this new plant. Aunt Diane actually calls it THE plant. Hector and Marsu try to deal with the situation, but it only gets worse: when they don't take care of THE plant, Diane, Mrs. Marsu, the baby marsus, and all the animals get offended, as if the only purpose of their existence is to care for it. Finally, Hector also comes under the strange power of THE plant, and Marsu has to deal with the situation alone. But with any luck, yellow and black polka dotted luck that is, he'll be able to save his friends and family. Hoobah!

Hector is delighted: Plum is back... our hero goes to great lengths, as do Mrs. Marsu and her family, to welcome Felicia Devort's niece. Of course, Plum is incapable of finding the campsite by herself, so in order to avoid any interaction with Felicia's henchmen, Hector and Plum decide to meet up at a predetermined spot in the jungle. But the reunion includes a surprise guest: Plum has brought along her brother - JULES !!! Jules is younger than Plum and Hector. What's worse, Jules is an unbearable brat, who goes to great lengths to annoy our heroes... The peaceful campsite rapidly turns chaotic as Jules does everything he can to sabotage the budding romance between Hector and Plum - Marsu also falls prey to Jules's hijinks when the bratty kid pretends the animal deliberately hurt him... In short, the "nitwit" that Plum brought to Palombia has wreaked havoc among our friends... But, when the "nitwit" gets lost in the jungle, it's a good thing our heroes are there to help...

Marsu shows his children how to lay out a jaguar trap using jungle vines. There's never a wrong time to humiliate this feline predator, sworn enemy of the marsupilami. But the lesson isn't lost on Backalive. When he fails to capture Marsu, he uses Marsu's trap to catch a mother jaguar. Captive, the mother jaguar is unable to protect her little cub, who ends up wandering alone through the jungle. When Beebee, Bobo, and Beeboo stumble upon him, they immediately start playing dirty tricks on him. Mrs. Marsu quickly puts an end to her children's bad behavior and comforts the little creature. She decides to bring it back to the nest and take care of it. Despite all his efforts, the little jaguar can't befriend the little marsus. Nevertheless, he keeps trying, and little by little, he and the marsus become inseparable. So, when the little feline rushes to his mother's rescue, Beebee, Bobo and Beeboo have to step in and lend a hand. Backalive falls prey to the first Marsupilami/Jaguar alliance in the history of Palombia!

Our heroes prepare to celebrate Christmas in Palombia. So that they can decorate the camp in peace, the baby marsus are sent to play in the jungle. There, they find...a pine tree! A pine tree in Palombia ? Hector, Aunt Diane and Marsu discover a field of pine trees, planted by Felicia Devort. Once again, she's come up with another hare-brained idea that will wreak havoc on the jungle's fragile ecosystem. But Felicia is delighted: her genetically modified pine trees are wonderful. Her mood quickly turns sour when her mother, the famous chef, Ursula Izycook, shows up for the holidays. She's going to fix them a Christmas feast, and she wants to invite Hector, Aunt Diane and all the Marsus over. After all, Christmas is a season of peace and goodwill to all men (and animals)! Gathered together at Devort HQ, our heroes and our bad guys decide to celebrate Christmas together. But they all have personal agendas. Felicia tries (and fails) to capture the Marsus, whereas Hector manages to destroy all the genetically modified pine trees. Merry Christmas, everybody, and hoobah !

One day, the three little marsupilamis observe a bunch of baby birds screeching for food in their nest. Their technique for getting fed seems pretty unbeatable! Immediately, Beebee, Beeboo and Bobo start imitating the baby birds in order to make their father bring them countless piranhas. But the three little marsupilamis push their father a little too far. When Marsu sees Papa Bird teaching the baby birds to fly, he gets the brilliant idea to throw the kids out of their own nest! He figures Beebee, Beeboo and Bobo are old enough to fish and take care of themselves. But Mrs. Marsu doesn't agree... and the little marsus are determined to prove that they still need both their parents.

Felicia Devort has Roy Ziegfield, the greatest magician in the world, give a demonstration of his skills in her model room. But his magic trick goes awry, and Ziegfield suddenly finds himself in the jungle, where Marsu and Hector find him. Meanwhile, Felicia and her men can't figure out where the magician went. At the campsite, Ziegfield impresses and wins over all our heroes with his magic tricks. Well, almost all our heroes: Marsu is very suspicious of this man and his illusions, which he considers lies. And our furry hero's instinct is right on the money: Ziegfield is really after Mrs. Marsu. He thinks she's an extraordinary animal, whose abilities will make his worldwide magic show tour to the US, Europe, and Japan (the rest of the world doesn't exist for him) a smash hit. He hypnotizes Mrs. Marsu and kidnaps her, taking her back to Felicia Devort's estate. Obviously, Marsu isn't going to stand for this. He has a trick up his sleeve, and he performs a stunt this magician won't forget anytime soon: Hoobah!

While Hector, Marsu and Tofurkey are playing " jaguar ", a variation of " tag ", they inadvertently break the ear off a nearby totem. Hoping no one has seen them, they try to put the ear back in place and sneak away. But the next day, Topangadakota makes a terrible announcement. He tells them that the Vin-San-Gogo totem's ear has broken off and disappeared! The entire equilibrium of the jungle has been upset! And, as proof, he points out that the jungle is silent; not a single bird is singing! The guilty parties must perform an impressive musical ceremony in order to appease the great god's wrath. Hector and Tofurkey must go to a lot of trouble to organize a concert, with Marsu as the main attraction: it turns out, our animal friend is an exceptional one-man band. Meanwhile, Aunt Diane discovers there is a rational explanation for the odd, sudden silence in the jungle: the Aphonia Muetie flower is to blame. Its pollen sticks to the beak of any bird that inhales it. But according to Topangadakota, science has nothing on Vin-San-Gogo's fury. The concert takes place, and our heroes are able to find the totem's ear, thereby restoring song to all of Palombia's birds...

On a scientific expedition to discover the flowers of the jungle, Hector, Aunt Diane, Topangadakota and Marsu discover a valley full of gigantic skeletons: the remains of a giant Marsupilami ancestor crossed with a mammoth! Hector names it the Hoobah Hectoris Palombisaurus. This Palombisaurus cemetery has a strange effect on Marsu. He is convinced he's discovered his ancestors' resting place. He decides to stay in the valley to keep watch over the remains of these expired, prehistoric creatures. Hoobah!!! And he refuses to change his mind! Marsu is so devoted to this new mission that he even refuses to let his friends study the giant fossils. Even worse: he seems to forget about his children and Mrs. Marsu! Hector decides there's no way he's going to abandon his friend in the valley; it may be a magnificent place, but it's lifeless. He decides to go back to camp and find Mrs. Marsu: she'll know how to set Marsu straight!

Hector tries out his latest invention, a kite. Marsu find this toy amusing, and tries to touch it. Seriously determined, the animal ends up swiping it with his paw before the wind carries away. Setting off in pursuit of the runaway kite, Marsu stumbles upon a clearing surrounded by a wall of brambles. Within it lives an entire world of miniature animals! By entering it, however, he's opened a breach in the hermetically sealed world, and several miniature animals follow our friend all the way back to the campsite. Hector and Aunt Diane are astonished by this amazing discovery, whereas Mrs. Marsu and the little marsus are immediately entranced by the enchanting little creatures. However, it quickly becomes clear that in the big world, these tiny animals are in constant danger. With a heavy heart, Hector, Marsu and the little marsus realize that they have to take their miniature friends back home to the safety of their clearing. But before they part ways, they teach a certain Backalive a lesson about trying to capture rare species.

Using Aunt Diane's heavy, old cassette deck, Hector records the sound of a bunch of birds whistling Beethoven's Fifth after hearing it in the vegetable garden. He then hears Mrs. Marsu singing the same exact symphony the birds were singing. For Hector, this is the recording of the century! Misunderstanding the concept of a recording, Marsu thinks his beloved is imprisoned in the cassette deck, and he carries it back to the nest. As Marsu tries to figure a way to rescue his wife, Mrs. Marsu, not far away, hears the recorded "hoobee beebees" coming from the cassette deck. Jealous, she's convinced her husband is cavorting around with a rival female marsupilami. Thinking the rival female is hiding in the cassette deck, Mrs. Marsu grabs the device and hurls it into the distance. Marsu and Hector go search for the cassette deck so they explain the misunderstanding to an angry Mrs. Marsu. But it's fallen into the hands of Backalive, who uses it to trap our yellow and black-spotted hero. Once they take care of the hunter, Hector has to explain the concept of a sound recording to Mrs. Marsu. Luckily, he has the help of a trio of vocal macaw parrots. Hoobee bee!

Felicia Devort needs to go away, and during her absence, she hands Blueprint the reins to her Palombian empire. The architect comes up with what he thinks is a genius scheme for turning that money pit of a jungle into a money-maker. He puts his plan into action, hoping to impress his boss. One morning, Hector, Marsu, and the baby marsus stumble across piles of household waste in the middle of a clearing. That night, Hector and Marsu hide in a tree in order to find out who's dumping waste on the ecological heart of the planet. In the early morning, our heroes are literally pelted with waste. Bags fall out of the sky. It's raining garbage! Marsu immediately figures out the source of this "rain": it's coming from Felicia Devort's estate. For a fee, Blueprint has been taking delivery of the world's waste, which he then has Stroy jettison into the jungle using an enormous cannon. But Hector and Marsu soon turn the cannon on its creator, much to Felicia's regret. She comes back from her trip to find 1500 tons of household waste piled up on her estate.

One night, Hector points out all the stars in the sky to Marsu (who doesn't understand anything and falls asleep). He doesn't realize that his wish to become an astrophysicist is about to come true. But the next morning, a letter arrives in camp: Hector has been accepted into a prestigious, seven-year school of astrophysics. He's going to have to pack his bags and leave Palombia at once. With a heavy heart, Hector says his goodbyes to Marsu, who doesn't understand what's happening. The boy and Aunt Diane leave, heading for the bus stop at Chiquito, which is at the edge of the jungle. When Marsu suddenly understands that his pal is leaving, he races after him so he can drag Hector back to his cabin. The animal tries everything he can to stop Hector from leaving, but nothing doing. Our hero is even picked up by Stroy and Blueprint when he hitchhikes. But, at the last minute, just as he's about to go, Hector sees Marsu struggling to stop progress on a Felicia Devort construction site, and he decides to stay to help his best friend out.

Felicia Devort declares war on all the insects in Palombia. It is absolutely out of the question that her Devort City be invaded by miserable, crawling, flying, creeping vermin. So, Stroy and Blueprint get airborne and spray pesticide over the entire jungle. Obviously, this displeases Marsu, who finds a way to turn the pesticide against Felicia Devort. She falls ill, becomes delirious, and falls into the unscrupulous clutches of...Neck Devort, her brother. Taking control of the Devort Empire, he decides to turn Palombia into the world's biggest golf course. He starts by firing Stroy and Blueprint, then he locks Felicia up in her room. Our heroes discover what's going on when they find the two henchmen wandering aimlessly through the jungle. Hector decides to unite forces with Stroy and Blueprint, and they all race to Felicia's rescue! After all, Hector feels a little responsible for the situation. In the end, our heroes unmask Neck Devort: it turns out, he's an imposter! Once cured by an antidote cooked up by Aunt Diane, Felicia is able to tell everyone she has no brother!

Marsupilami steals Hector's eyeglasses and discovers that without them, Hector can't see a thing. Marsu is highly amused at the shenanigans that ensue: Hector bumps into everything and even talks to a cactus, thinking it's Marsu. But Hector doesn't appreciate the joke, and Marsu quickly understands he's gone too far. Sheepishly, he gives his friend back his glasses... But Beebee, Beeboo and Bobo saw everything, and they found it pretty funny. So now, they now steal Hector's glasses! Thinking that Marsu's taken them again, Hector gets angry at his friend. Unjustly accused, Marsu is upset. Blind as a bat, Hector heads into the jungle, thinking he's heading for the cabin and his spare glasses. He doesn't realize he's in peril, wandering about blindly. Luckily, Marsu keeps an eye out for his buddy. Meanwhile, the little marsus are having fun with the glasses. But danger lurks in the jungle: Bring M. Backalive has set up the perfect trap, armed with a duck call that perfectly mimics the marsupilami "hoobah"... Happily, our heroes overcome their misunderstandings in time to teach the scurrilous hunter a lesson.

Aunt Diane's birthday is coming up, and Hector wants to get her the ideal present. Okay, but what can it be? He wracks his brains, trying to figure it out. He even explains the concept of birthdays and presents to Marsu, who immediately starts wrapping everything around him in rubber tree leaves so he can offer them as gifts. Hector uses all of his ingenuity as he tries to figure out what Aunt Diane wants most for her birthday. Unfortunately, his various ploys don't work. The big day is fast approaching, and he still doesn't have a present. Then, when Hector finally comes up with the perfect present, Marsu unthinkingly sabotages it. It's back to square one. In the end, Hector decides that the best present of all is to offer his services as the perfect assistant for the duration of her birthday. But on the big day, Aunt Diane is so absorbed by her work that she doesn't even notice Hector's efforts, much to his distress. It turns out, Aunt Diane simply forgot it was her birthday. She reassures her distraught nephew: the best present in the world is having him here in Palombia with her.

Everyone's on the alert at the Devort Estate: FELICIA has called STROY and BLUEPRINT into a meeting to find out what is impeding progress on all her marvelous real estate projects. The emergency meeting takes the form of a TV game show, with Felicia as an aggressive host. First question for our contestants: why isn't construction on Devort City moving forward? Stroy and Blueprint explain that they've tried everything: termites, toxic waste, genetic modification, not to mention a whole bunch of other twisted, hare-brained schemes... But nothing doing: that diabolical ocean of jungle greenery persists, taunting the Devort empire! It's inexplicable... Wait, inexplicable? Here's a question: what is yellow with black spots, and a long, prehensile tail, and which regularly gets the better of them? MARSUPILAMI !!!! All the Devort empire's problems boil down to this one creature: Marsu! Felicia then surprises them with her wild card: in order to take care of Marsupilami, she's hired A HUNTER, a REAL hunter, one who can sniff out beasts and track them in the wild! It's Bring M. Backalive. He loves telling stories of his hunts... though he omits the sad truth: he's been outsmarted by Marsu too! These three pathetic men are in the middle of their " brainstorming " session when all of a sudden, a mystery guest appears to deliver one final humiliation right at Devort HQ: it's Marsu, of course !

There is a dangerous menace roaming about the Leekysoupi: it's a very large fish, and it attacked Mrs. Marsu. It also attacked Stroy and Blueprint, and it is eating up all the river creatures. For Topangadakota, it's obviously the spirit totem of the river, Poaskaye-Pan. He tells them the totem is back and it's unhappy. Hector thinks it's more likely the predator is a unique creature, and he invites Bennett Farica and John Quaterwinner to study it. For Stroy and Blueprint, this is the perfect occasion to redeem themselves in their boss' eyes. Having previously destroyed 2 1/2 tons of fish that belonged to her, they figure they can simply replace it with this one 2 1/2 ton fish. Even Backalive joins the hunt for the sea monster, which turns out to be a giant piranha, a genetic freak created by Felicia Devort's toxic waste. The monstrous fish ends up swallowing our heroes! Luckily, Aunt Diane figures out the fish is a music lover, and she tames it. Meanwhile, from the belly of the fish, Marsu liberates our friends. In the end, Felicia gets her two tons of fish back: she's obliged to take care of the giant piranha, now named Willy.

After he comes back from a walk in the jungle, Marsu starts acting very strangely. He howls in fright for no apparent reason. This is simply unthinkable behavior for the lord of Palombia! And yet... Hector investigates and quickly learns that his friend is suffering from an illogical fear of everything round! Even the tiniest marble terrifies him. While the Marsu babies see their chance to defy paternal authority, Mrs. Marsu finds the situation aggravating and quickly loses patience with her perpetually-frightened husband. Hector tries to cure his friend by re-introducing round shapes to him in a kind of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Will Marsu be a fraidy-cat for the rest of his life? Not if he and Hector can discover the origin of his "roundophobia"!

Tofurkey's little sister, Atotalcutiepie loves her Marsupilou. Marsupilou is a stuffed animal Marsu with a springy tail that she bounces up and down on like a bouncy toy. One day, as she's playing with it, it bounces out of control and gets away from her, disappearing into the jungle. Heartbroken, the little girl wanders into the big bad jungle all by herself in the hopes of finding her toy. Meanwhile, Marsupilou ends up in the campsite, where the Marsu babies mistake it for a real marsu. Marsu sees the toy as a rival, who courts his wife and becomes the favorite playmate of his kids. Hector tries to explain that Marsupilou is just a kind of doll, but all the marsus don't buy it. The situation is further complicated when Atotalcutiepie shows up, determined to take back her "best friend." This proves tricky, as Beebee, Bobo and Beeboo have grown attached to the Marsupilou as well. But this little girl has quite a pair of lungs on her, and her incessant, thundering sobs frighten the baby marsus into giving her back her toy.

Hector has had enough of Aunt Diane's exotic organic cooking. Her meals are pretty depressing. Taken aback, Aunt Diane decides to study the cookbooks written by the famous chef, Ursula Izycook : - 100 simple, organic, family-style dishes THAT ARE NOT DEPRESSING -, or the more obvious " Make organic cooking more fun! ". It turns out Ursula Izycook is Felicia Devort's mother. She's come to Palombia, much to her daughter's chagrin, to begin work on her new book, - 365 days of exotic organic meals -. Felicia orders Stroy and Blueprint to escort her mother to the jungle for her research. In a passing aside, she mutters something about hoping her mother will get lost in the jungle. Overhearing this, her two henchmen take it literally, and they abandon Ursula Izycook in the wilderness. Marsu finds her and brings her to camp. Her talented cooking transforms the next few days into a nonstop, culinary extravaganza. Ursula develops her idea for her cookbook with Aunt Diane's help, and she invents a new dish, Izycook stew, which quickly becomes the marsus' favorite dish. But all good things must come to an end, and Ursula eventually goes back to her daughter's house. Hector and Marsu are nonplussed when they find out that Felicia Devort has such a delightful mother.

As he's about to fish for his daily breakfast, Marsu makes in appalling discovery: there are no more piranhas in the Leekysoupi. Hoobah?!!? That's quite a mystery, and Hector and his animal friend start investigating. It turns out, the piranha has become the new, global gold standard. The entire world wants piranhas; fortunes rise and fall thanks to the piranha. Because of this, fishermen are overfishing Palombia, threatening the jungle's ecosystem. Hector and Aunt Diane realize that they must do what they can to save the species, and they set off in search of one piranha couple to save before it's too late. But they have to find the fish before Marsu does, because he's only interested in his next meal. A great race between Hector, Marsu, and Felicia Devort's henchmen (always eager to make a quick buck) ensues. They have to act quickly, because the Leekysoupi is suddenly overcrowded with jellyfish, which the piranha population used to keep under control. Finally, clever Hector realizes that the only way to fight "piranhamania" is to start a new trend. Hacking into Felicia Devort's radio, he makes an announcement that Italian shoes are the next big thing. Calm returns to Palombia. Aunt Diane and Hector release the piranha couple into the river... and Marsu fishes them! Hoobah!

Felicia Devort's henchmen introduce the terrible Tsu Tsu Mosquidodo mosquito to Palombia. Its sting immediately renders its victims narcoleptic. Very quickly, all the animals in the jungle fall into a profound sleep, as does Aunt Diane. By chance, Hector and Marsu managed to avoid being stung. It was because they ran into old Mac Fly, a crotchety gold prospector who's been searching for the mother lode for years and years. Hector quickly puts two and two together, and realizes that the gold dust that he and Marsu are covered in is actually the antidote to the mosquito's venom. Our two buddies go back and find the miner and decide to help him find gold. By doing so, Hector and Marsu are able to get some gold dust and wake up all of sleeping Palombia - including Stroy and Blueprint, who did not escape the mosquitoes' sting.

Felicia Devort is fuming: no progress is being made on her highway! Determined to spur her troops into action, she decides to leave her stainless steel tower and pay a surprise visit to the construction site. Dressed in a jumpsuit and protective helmet, she drives into the jungle. But a falling tree sends her car plummeting into a ravine. Thrown from the vehicle while unconscious, Felicia is saved by Marsu. Neither he nor Hector recognize Felicia, because her hair is a mess and her nose is swollen because of an insect bite. Furthermore, because she ate an exotic fruit, she's turned green! Marsu takes her back to the campsite. There, she meets HECTOR and AUNT DIANE, as well as the entire Marsu family. Our heroes don't realize who she is, and FELICIA DOESN'T KNOW WHO SHE IS EITHER! She's suffering from amnesia! Out in the jungle, Felicia discovers a new way of life with Hector and Marsu. One day, she stumbles across the horrible construction site that is slowly but surely destroying the jungle. She convinces Hector and Marsu to join her in forming "The Undo Gang." Their mission: to sabotage all of Felicia Devort's work. But the truth comes out when Felicia suddenly recovers her memory. Nevertheless, her brief stay in our friends' campsite will always be a touching memory.

Hector and Marsu see Tofurkey fall out of a tree right in front of them. The boy is training because the time has come for him to take the " Hairy Hairy " initiation rite which consists in a series of hard tests to accomplish, without any help from his tribe, on the sacred land of the Big Spirits of the Forest. Should he fail, he will be forbidden to ever come back to his home. Hector and Marsu reassure Tofurkey : they are going to give him a hand. Sure they can, they are not part of the tribe. The initiation takes place under Topangadakota's surveillance. The tests reinforce the friendship between Tofurkey, Hector and the Marsu, our black spotted yellow hero often leaping to the two kids' rescue. Marsu even ends up helping out Topangadakota. Tofurkey passes the " Hairy Hairy " test, and Hector is judged worth of being part of the tribe and is even given a new name: Chickenlittle. As for Marsu, he rejoins the Big Spirits of the Forest pantheon.

Before leaving to take part in a secret ritual on the other side of the jungle, Topangadakota entrusts his shamanistic vegetable garden to Aunt Diane. Our favorite botanist is delighted! His only warning to her: DO NOT TOUCH a certain plant, which is taboo and reserved only for shamans! Naturally, Aunt Diane's scientific curiosity gets the best of her, and she starts studying that certain plant, much to Hector's dismay. It turns out Topangadakota's warning wasn't just superstition. Inadvertently pricking herself on one of the plant's thorns, Aunt Diane falls into a deep sleep, just like Sleeping Beauty. In a Palombian-style fairy tale atmosphere, Hector and Marsu must use "scientific" methods to wake her. Finally, they need to ask Topangadakota to come to the rescue, especially when the dangerous plant starts spreading all over the campsite...

Hector and Marsu are eating a delicious, exotic fruit they found at the top of a tree, when Marsu leaps to help a bird in distress. Alone, Hector tries to climb down the tree, but he falls! Luckily, he's saved by a familiar tail...is it Marsu's tail? No! It's actually a vine...held by... Krozam, the jungle hero in Hector's favorite comic book!!! Hector can't believe it: Krozam, the hero in his comic book, is here. The actual flesh and blood--well, okay, ink and paper--hero is here! It turns out the boy is actually inside a Krozam comic book! Krozam is also astonished: who is this Marsu that Hector keeps talking about... ? Marsu ? Well, he's - Hector tries to describe his animal friend, his amazing abilities, his family - Krozam and Hector walk through the comic book panels while Krozam makes his case for being the more impressive hero of the jungle. But it doesn't work: Marsu is too strong, too amazing... too everything! He's larger than life ! Finally, Hector consoles his hero: Krozam is his favorite comic book hero and Marsu is his best friend in real life... All of which leads Hector to wake up... In fact, he passed out when he fell from the tree, and Marsu found him and brought him back to camp. Hoobah hoobah!
