AN ELEPHANT'S BEST FRIEND Times are hard for Babar when Lord Rataxes stops all pomegranate shipments from reaching Celesteville. However, when Babar finds a pet warthog in the jungle, Rataxes suddenly says he's willing to negotiate. What Babar dosen't realise is the warthog belongs to Lady Rataxes, and Rataxes has to grab it back before she or Babar discover that he lost it on purpose.

RACE TO THE MOON Babar's hopes of rebuilding an old theatre dedicated to his mother are jeopardized when all his subjects get caught up trying to build up a rocketship in a silly race to beat Lord Rataxes to the moon.
