Plot[]
The episode starts with the Little Einsteins flying to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to meet with baby animals and land at the Tanzania Grassland and soon, they meet with baby giraffe, baby chimp (if they know him in He Speaks Music!) and the baby elephant and they're all excited to play with Rocket! Soon, Rocket puts out his transformation animal buttons and Leo press the giraffe button and Rocket transforms into a giraffe and stretch the tall neck to the top of the acacia tree. Then, the chimp wants to play with Rocket and Leo presses the chimpanzee button as Rocket transforms into a chimpanzee and climbs the rock with baby chimp. Lastly, baby elephant wants to play with Rocket and Leo presses the elephant button as Rocket transforms into an elephant and slurp up some water from the pond and sprays it into the air. Soon, the baby animals' tummies are rumbling. After playing with Rocket, they're hungry. Luckily, Rocket brought snacks for them. Meanwhile, Big Jet, camouflaged as a lion, sneaks up and takes the snack basket. He taunts, "Long live the king!" which makes the baby animals sad and hungry. Leo tells Rocket that they will get the snack basket back from Big Jet. So, Leo gets out his baton and tells the team they have a mission to retrieve the snacks before Big Jet eats them all. They all buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence, and blast off.
After they blast off, they all sang animal snack time and soon, they heard big jet who is hiding behind the savannah and Rocket landed in front of the acacia tree and big jet hovers over Rocket, drops the cage which traps Rocket, lock the key, and threw it to the top of the acacia tree, and flies away with the animal snack basket! Then, Rocket puts out his transformation animal button and Leo presses the giraffe button and Rocket transform into a giraffe, and stretch his back out of the cage and up to the key at the top of the acacia tree, but the key is so high on the top of the acacia tree, so Annie can sing a song to help Rocket to stretch Rocket's neck up high and soon, Rocket stretches his neck longer and she continues to sing to help Rocket stretch his neck until Rocket got the key on top of the acacia tree, unlock the lock of the cage, open the cage door of the trap, head out of the trap, and blast off.
After trapping and freeing the cage, Annie and the whole team sang Animal snack time once again, and Rocket put out his display screen and shows that baby animal is still hungry as Leo told about the animal snack that Big jet took, soon, they heard him who is flying to Mount Kilimanjaro and sets up the picnic table on top of Mount Kilimanjaro with plate, fork and spoon. So they all head to Mount Kilimanjaro. But Quincy knew that they can't fly up the mountain because flying is too loud so they need to climb up the mountain quietly so they can sneak up on big jet. So Rocket puts out his transformation animal button and Leo presses the chimpanzee button and Rocket climbs Mount Kilimanjaro and Leo told Rocket to climb quietly and Leo told Rocket to climb quieter and quieter as they get closer to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and soon, they made it to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and Rocket transforms back to it's normal shape. Then, Rocket uses his grab nabber to try and get animal snack basket from big jet! Soon big jet and Rocket are fighting with the animal snack basket and flew all the way to the Zambezi River in Zambia and big jet flew to get the snack. So they all had to fly super fast to get the animal snack food at the Zambezi River in Zambia. And pity for Big Jet, he forgot to use his speedy boosters.
They soon reached the Zambezi River in Zambia and spotted the animal snack basket floating toward the Zambezi Waterfall. Seeing the danger, Rocket transformed into an elephant. Leo used the elephant button to trigger the change. As an elephant, Rocket began slurping up the river's water with his trunk and spraying it into a large African pottery vessel. Their goal was to divert the basket's path and prevent it from going over the falls.
Meanwhile, Big Jet was waiting at the bottom of the Zambezi Waterfall, ready to catch the basket. As the basket got closer to the edge, June flew out of Rocket to help him. Together, they slurped and sprayed water faster and faster until the Zambezi River completely dried up.
With the riverbed exposed, Rocket flew over to the edge, grabbed the animal snack basket, and then dumped all the water from the pottery back into the waterfall's cascade. The torrent of water splashed Big Jet, who gave up immediately. He vowed never to take the baby animals' snacks ever again and flew far, far away. Afterward, the team blasted off with the snack basket in tow.
They soon arrived back at Serengeti National Park. The baby chimpanzee got a mumanda fruit, the baby elephant received baobab chips, and the baby giraffe enjoyed some acacia leaf crackers. The whole team sang "animal snack time" one last time, and the baby animals, happy and full, thanked Rocket for getting their snacks back from Big Jet. Mission completion!
