Unfortunately, when they tried to fly out of the waterfall, they notice that Rocket's stuck at waterfall and it's extremely cold! So they all head out of Rocket and Leo told Rocket that he can get out of the waterfall as he promise as Annie told that Rocket doesn't like being stuck so much while June told that the water is super cold. Then, Annie got an idea on helping pulling Rocket out of the waterfall by using the biggest, strongest animal as Quincy mentioned. So Leo put out his baton and told everyone that they've got a mission about finding the biggest strongest animal to help pull Rocket out of the waterfall and fast!
Soon they saw a bumblebee who also came to help the whole team as Leo asks the bumblebee. Soon, the bumblebee saw an elephant, but the elephant uses his ears to defend all of the bugs. So they all head to the elephant and Quincy knew that the elephant can't hear the bumblebee because they're humongous, so June got a plan on attracting elephant's attention, by imitating an elephant by moving her arms in from of her and make an elephant noise and soon, the elephant hears it and the bumblebee ask the bumblebee about pulling Rocket out of the waterfall and the elephant says yes. Then, the elephant heads to the Rocket waterfall with June.
Then, they head out to find more animal while buzzing the bumblebee song and soon, bumblebee saw a hippopotamus. but the hippopotamus submerge underwater and they can't hear bumble bee underwater. Then, Quincy got an idea on getting hippopotamus attention by using his trumpet and play flight of the bumblebee fortissimo and prestissimo at the hippopotamus pond and Leo and Annie Help Quincy by playing an air trumpet and soon, the hippopotamus hear Quincy's trumpet and surface and saw Leo, Annie, and Quincy. Then, the bumblebee asks Rocket and the hippopotamus says yes. Then, the hippopotamus follows bumblebee with Quincy.
Then, Leo uses his binoculars to see how Rocket's doing and so June and the elephant are already there as Quincy and hippopotamus have arrived at Rocket waterfall. But Rocket is getting colder as he's still stuck at the waterfall and Annie knew that Rocket's about having a cold.
Soon, Leo and Annie continues to search for more animals while buzzing the bumblebee song. Then, bumblebee saw some giraffes, which is perfect for pulling Rocket out of the waterfall. Soon, Leo uses his binoculars and he saw a lion, who's the king of the jungle that can protect the Circle of Life, and he told Annie that they don't need to get past a lion to get to the giraffe. Then, Leo uses his binoculars and saw some hyenas, who are the greatest scavengers to hunt for food, and he told Annie that they don't need to get past those hyenas either. Then, Leo uses his binoculars and saw a rhinoceros and Leo told that there's a rhinoceros in their way.
Soon, they made it to the rhinoceros field and saw that a rhinoceros is sleeping and Annie told that they need to walk and clap pianissimo to get past the rhinoceros. Then, Leo told that they need to clap even softer, pianissimo and so, they clap and tiptoe to pass a sleeping rhinoceros, and the rhinoceros partial wakes up as Leo and Annie start to freeze, and rhinoceros fell asleep again. Then, they resume clapping and walking pianissimo and soon, they made it pass the rhinoceros and made it out of the rhinoceros field.
Soon, they made to the giraffe field and bumblebee ask a giraffe that a giraffe can help. but it didn't work because giraffe can't hear bumblebee because bumblebee is so tiny that he can only buzz pianissimo. Then, Annie told that they can buzz really loudly, fortissimo, so they buzz flight of the bumblebee fortissimo, but the giraffe didn't hear them, so they buzz flight of the bumblebee loudly and harder! And soon, the bumblebee hear the giraffe and ask the giraffe about helping pulling Rocket out of the waterfall and the giraffe says yes.
