Munki

Yes We Have No Bananas

Bananas are any monkey's delight. But not all monkeys would go to the lengths that Munki does when a chasm separates him from his favourite food… Oh what's a hungry Munki to do?!

Season 1

Love Is In The Air

As Munki sleeps his tail is alert, has a look around, spots a vine hanging in a tree a little way off and instantly falls in love with it. Tail proceeds to drag Munki around as it tries to reach the vine!

Season 2

I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Munki has found a coconut. He happily sets about trying to eat it only to discover that coconut eating is quite a tricky thing. Try as he might he cannot get through the hard shell of the coconut so he's gives up in frustration. The coconut however does not give up on Munki and nature and gravity conspire to keep the coconut crossing Munki's path. How will Munki escape this hard-shelled menace?

Season 3

Lifted

A fruit seed takes root and magically grows while Munki is asleep. Caught atop the growing plant, Munki is lifted to the clouds where he awakens to a giant jungle world. His initial shock is quickly forgotten as he spots some giant bananas. This must be paradise! But getting to those bananas isn't easy for a monkey the size of a bug.

The Explorers

25

Monkeying Around

The Explorers are searching the jungle for Munki, but they keep hearing each other's voices over their walkie talkies. Munki steals Dexter's walkie talkie and talks into it, and Dexter chases after the other Explorers thinking that he's chasing Munki. The Explorers all run after each other, and run into each other, collapsing in a noisy pile.

Queen Of The Swingers

Munki and Trunk spot some delicious fruit in the distance, and run off through the jungle to get it. The journey's easy for Munki because he can swing from vines, but Trunk has a much harder time running through the dense foliage. She wants to learn how to swing too, and Munki wants to teach her, but getting an elephant to swing from a vine requires some very special motivation.

Prickly Situation

Munki and Trunk find some delicious-smelling prickly pears, but they're surrounded by spiky cactuses. They try stretching their hands (and trunk) through the cactuses, pushing them apart and dangling over them, but they can't quite reach the delicious fruit. Munki and Trunk need to use some ingenuity - and a very enthusiastic rhinoceros - to get the delicious fruit.

Sweet Mayhem

Munki has a sore throat. Trunk promises to get him something to soothe it. She discovers that some honey that has dripped out of the beehive. It's perfect for Munki, and he needs more! But the rest of the honey is in the hive at the top of a tall tree. Trunk needs to go to ridiculous lengths - and fly to ridiculous heights - to help her friend.

Walk This Way

Trunk's loud footsteps cause trouble in the jungle - she almost steps on Ribbert, she makes leaves fall on Humph's lawn and she nearly wakes Mama's eggs. She finally decides to keep completely still, but it's impossible when Munki is eating delicious fruit nearby. Trunk jumps for the fruit, and accidentally shakes a boulder loose. It rolls through the jungle, threatening all the animals, and only Trunk's ground-shaking run can save the day.

Bloomin' Emergency

Trunk's flower is her most cherished possession. Munki accidentally crushes it's nook with a flying coconut. He desperately searches the jungle for a replacement before Trunk gets home, but all the suitable flowers are guarded by bees, or by Humph, or are part of a giant venus fly-trap. How far can Munki go to help his friend?

I Would Walk 500 Miles

When a game of catch goes badly wrong, Munki is sent flying to Antarctica. He starts the long journey back home, and meets some strange new friends on the way. Meanwhile, Trunk crosses canyons, deserts and seas, searching for her missing friend. They finally reunite on a desert island in the middle of the ocean. They're travelled halfway around the world - how do they get home?

Home Improvement

While the Ostrich family is having a swim at the river, Munki, Trunk and Rocky play 'fetch' in their clearing, and accidentally destroy the ostrich nest. They have to rebuild it before they get in trouble, but they quickly get carried away in an over-elaborate construction project. Just before the ostriches return the new mega-nest that Munki and Trunk have built collapses, and they need to fix their mess, fast.

Hiccup Line

Trunk gets the hiccups, and Munki tries to help her find a cure. She tries traditional remedies like holding her breath or drinking upside-down but they only make things worse, until Trunk's hiccups are so powerful that they are launching her around the jungle like a five-tonne bouncy ball. The only thing powerful enough to stop her is Humph the grumpy hedgehog…

Adventures In Babysitting

Mama Ostrich asks Munki and Trunk to babysit her eggs. Munki thinks it's going to be an easy job. But the eggs are escape artists, and they're soon leading Munki and Trunk on a high-speed chase through the jungle, causing chaos and heading towards every kind of disaster. To babysit these eggs, Munki and Trunk are going to need a lot more than a lullaby!

A New Home

Munki and Trunk accidentally dislodge the beehive from it's usual tree, and it ends up stuck in the branches of their own tree. The bees swarm to protect their new home and Munki and Trunk have to find another place to live. They search the jungle for a suitable replacement tree - but there's no place like home.

Holey Moley

Rocky loves nothing in this world more than a stick! He buries one by the waterhole, but the next morning he forgets where it is, and goes into a digging frenzy to find it. Munki and Trunk try bringing Rocky other sticks, but he won't be distracted. He digs so many holes that he creates a huge maze, and Munki and Trunk accidentally get trapped within.

Hot Stuff

It’s a crazily hot day. Munki and Trunk do everything they can to cool down, but the river and the water hole dry up, and Trunk gets encased in quick-drying mud. Through a series of misadventures they end up on a nearby snow-capped peak, and manage to pull a whole weather system down to cool the forest.

Bubble Trouble

Munki discovers some special berries that can be blown up into large purple bubbles. He shows them to Trunk, and the two of them have lots of fun until Munki gets trapped inside a bubble blown by Trunk. He gets bounced all around the jungle. Trunk tries to rescue him, but her job gets a lot harder when his bubble gets launched up into space…

A Sneeze On The Breeze

A wind blows in from the savannah carrying thousands of floating seeds. Munki calls the alarm and the jungle animals prepare for the invasion of seeds, but it's too late: the seeds wreck havoc, tickling all the animals until they're paralysed with laughter and setting off Trunk’s explosive allergies.

Stuck In The Middle With You

Munki falls into the hollow of their tree and gets stuck! Trunk tries everything she can think of to get him out, but she can't hoover him out, or shake him free, or flood him out. She tries inflating the tree. Munki pops out, but now the situation is worse - the tree has been inflated so much that it towers over the jungle canopy, and Munki is stranded way up high.

Rainbow Rising

Munki and Trunk discover the end of a rainbow. It's magical! They play around with it, using it to change their colour and swimming up its beautiful arch. They have the best day of their lives. But when the rainbow fades away, they find themselves stranded very far from the jungle.

Mr Stone

Tallbert wants to join in Munki and Trunk’s games, but he's not sure how to play along. He's feeling forlorn until he makes a new friend (literally!) by painting a face on a rock. Tallbert and the rock have the best time together - until the happy face gets wet. With its smiley face turned into a frown, the rock becomes Tallbert's nemesis.

How Do You Sleep

Munki has insomnia. He goes through the night-time jungle trying to find someone to play with, but everyone else is fast asleep. He visits all his friends and tries to go to sleep the way they do, but nothing he tries seems to work…

Tidy Up Time

One of Munki and Trunk's games gets out of hand, and they accidentally destroy Humph's lawn. Now Humph is homeless, so they offer to let him move in with them. But Humph's obsessive tidiness makes their lives extremely difficult - they'll have to get Humph's home fixed for him if they want things back to normal!

Copycat

Munki playfully teases Trunk by copying everything she does. Trunk tries to make him cut it out by doing things that he can't do, but he manages to match her in every way. But Munki doesn't find the game so funny when Trunk turns it around, and starts copying him!

Nuts

Munki and Trunk find a tiny nut. They split it and are about to eat it, when they spot a bigger nut, then a bigger one, then a bigger one... until they find a gigantic mega-nut. It looks amazing! Unfortunately, it's also a bit of a tough nut to crack, and whether they smash it, slam it, drop it or crush it, they can't seem to get it open...

What's Mine Is Yours

Munki and Trunk are eating a delicious pile of mangoes. But when there's only one mango left, they both politely refuse to eat it, making a big show of offering it to each other to eat. Their politeness quickly escalates into a game, where they invent increasingly tricksy ways to get the other to take the mango…

Munki's Trunk

Munki admires Trunk’s trunk, and tries to make a trunk of his very own. He ends up stretching his tail and hanging it over his head - but just because he has something that looks like a trunk, it doesn't mean he can use it to picking berries, drink, or breathe underwater…

Ribbert's Secret

Everyone in the jungle has a talent. Hue the chameleon can change colour, Humph the hedgehog can transform into a spiky ball, Trunk can trumpet and Munki can do a silly trick with his fingers. But what can Ribbert the Frog do? Trunk finds out that night, when the chirping crickets make music that makes Ribbert dance amazingly, as long as no one's watching…

Banana Noir

Munki and Trunk wake up to discover that all the bananas have disappeared. They travel around the jungle like a pair of private sleuths, investigating the crime, and trying to find the banana-stealing suspect. It it Tallbert? Baby Ostrich? Or maybe someone closer to home?

Bee Plot

Munki and Trunk are about to tuck in to an epic fruit picnic. But the beehive falls from the tree, and Buzby comes to them for help - They're the only ones who can get it back. Reluctantly, they give up their bounty and chase the hive as it bounces wildly through the jungle…

Chain Reaction

Munki and Trunk discover some pods that pop when touched, scattering their seeds. Munki gets excited when he realises that he can make a chain-reaction of exploding seeds. He gets obsessed, and soon starts constructing an elaborate chain reaction that takes over the entire jungle.

Unidentified Crawling Object

Munki and Trunk are deeply disturbed when a rock starts crawling around by itself. It's a tortoise! They've never seen one before, and have no idea how to handle it - especially because this particular tortoise has a habit of leaping out of his shell.

Hypno-Munki

Munki's swinging tail accidentally hypnotises Trunk into thinking that she's a monkey. While Munki tries to work out what's wrong with her, he accidentally hypnotises more of his friends. He finally works out what has happened and thinks that it's hilarious, until the other monkey-animals eat all his bananas…

Busy Doing Nothing

Munki and Trunk are bored! Trunk comes up with a variety of fun experiences to entertain them, but Munki doesn't really want to do any of them. Trunk eventually runs out of ideas and falls into despair, and it's up to Munki to come up with a fun activity to cheer up his friend.

Strange Brew

Munki and Trunk are messing around making weird food concoctions, when lightning strikes. Munki's concoction turns into a potion that makes him grow taller, and Trunk's makes her grow shorter. At first they're delighted by their new sizes, but they keep growing and shrinking, and realise that they're going to need to make new potions to get themselves back to normal...

Boom Crack

A storm is approaching, and Munki and Trunk know that Rocky the Rhino is terrified of thunder. They need to calm Rocky down, and block his ears with moss. Unfortunately, Rocky gets startled by the thunder. He panics, goes on a rampage, and digs himself to safety in a tunnel under Humph's lawn. This is a problem for Humph, who isn't too happy with his new guest.

Tickle Munki

One of Mama Ostrich's feathers comes loose and blows through the jungle. By chance, it keeps on blowing past Munki and Trunk, tickling them mercilessly. Munki and Trunk finally manage to catch it, but they discover that there's no safe way to dispose of a feather.

Cliffhanger

Trunk has managed to get herself in a tricky situation. She is trying to rescue her flower, and has somehow ended up stuck high up between two stone spires, far out in the savannah. Munki comes to the rescue, but when one of the spires collapses they are launched back into the jungle, and go on a wild and ridiculous chase to get the flower back.

Bad Hair Day

Munki wakes up with a tuft of hair sticking out the side of his head. Trunk tries to fix his hairstyle. She wets the tuft, brushes it, glues it down with honey, hides it under a hat, and even puts it in curlers, but everything she does makes the situation worse. (And when she tries shaving it... much, much worse.)

Static

Munki and Trunk race through the long grass. The air is dry, and Munki gets charged up with crackling static electricity, which makes his fur go puffy. Dry leaves get attracted to Munki, following him around and getting stuck to his fur. He gets chased through the jungle by leaves. How is he going to escape this weird phenomenon?

Staring Is Caring

Munki and Trunk start a staring competition. Munki is the reigning champion until he meets his match with Tallbert. The two of them stare at each other until the sun goes down and Munki falls asleep. Tallbert isn't sure of the rules, and keeps staring throughout the night. The next morning, Tallbert can't close his poor, dry eyes! Munki and Trunk try everything they can to get their friend a bit of shut-eye.

The Artist

Munki sees his footprints in the mud, and he likes the way they look. He tries sticking his hands in the mud, too, and makes hand-prints on nearby rocks. He has discovered art! He throws himself into his new discovery, making sculptures and paintings. Trunk wants to be involved, but she discovers that she just doesn't have the artistic touch.

Boing Boing

Munki and Trunk discover a mysterious flower with glowing pink sap. Whatever the sap touches turns floppy - arms, legs, rocks, trees, everything! Munki and Trunk have a huge amount of fun playing with the sap. But when the ostrich eggs are threatened by a rolling boulder, Munki and Trunk discover that having floppy bodies makes the rescue mission a whole lot harder.

Sticky Situation

While trying to get at a delicious bunch of berries Munki accidentally breaks a branch, and super-sticky sap starts dripping into the clearing. They end up getting get glued to themselves, each other, the ground, the vines and everything else in the clearing. How are they going to stop the sticky sap?

Wild Flower

Munki sees how much Trunk loves her flower, and wants a flower of his own to look after. Trunk is excited to teach Munki how to garden, and he turns out to be a good student - too good! With all the water and soil Munki's giving it, the flower grows too big for his branch. Munki's going to have to find a new home for his plant - luckily, the bees always have room for a giant flower!

Tag you're toast

Munki, Trunk and Tallbert are engaged in a wild game of tag. They bump into Rocky the Rhino, and try to get him to join in the game. Rocky is enthusiastic, but it takes him a long time to understand the rules. When he finally gets it, however, he becomes unstoppable, and Munki, Trunk and Tallbert discover that it's hard to outrun a two tonne rhino!

The Lawn

Munki and Trunk are playing one of their normal games of tag. Munki discovers that Trunk can't catch him if he's standing on Humph's precious lawn. Trunk tries vacuuming him off it, though, and accidentally rips Humph's lawn right off! It blows away in the wind, and Munki and Trunk have to get it back before Humph discovers what they've done...

Downhill Derby

Munki and Trunk lose Baby Ostrich during a game of Hide and Seek. They find her again at the top of a tall slope, hiding behind a tree that is growing curious, surfboard-like seed pods. Munki and Trunk try to protect Baby from the falling pods, until they discover that the pods are absolutely perfect for a wild toboggan ride...

Munki The Bee

Munki and Trunk discover some fruit that they can mash up and use as body paint. They have a lot of fun painting themselves as zebras, giraffes and leopards. But when Trunk paints Munki as a bee, they discover that he can successfully infiltrate the swarm. Munki becomes a big hit with the other bees - but what about Trunk?

Midnight Run

Baby Ostrich and the Eggs see Munki and Trunk having a race, and want to be involved! They join in, and don't stop racing, even though the sun goes down. A completely exhausted Munki and Trunk have to chase through the midnight savannah to bring the over-excited Baby and the eggs back to their sleeping Mama.

Rocky Rescue

Munki and Trunk throw a nut that looks like a ball for Rocky. It ends up going over the edge of a ravine and the overenthusiastic Rocky goes over the the edge with it. But how are Munki and Trunk going to get Rocky out of the ravine, when all he wants to do is get his nut back?

Ostrich Opera

Trunk tries to put Baby Ostrich to sleep by singing a lullaby. Big mistake! Baby discovers singing, and she takes to it enthusiastically, but her voice is terrible and she ruins the peace of the jungle. Munki and Trunk try everything, but they can't stop her singing. The only thing left is to give baby singing lessons.

Welcome To The Jungle

Munki is awoken from an idyllic sleep by an unexpected visitor in the jungle: A small, cute puppy! It belongs to three human explorers who set up their campsite right next to Munki and Trunk’s favourite tree. This is a problem because all the explorers want is to see animals, and all the animals want is to not be seen by the explorers!

Ball

Munki and Trunk introduce Pupster to Rocky, but Rocky is terrified of the tiny pup. Munki tries to get them both to play with a ball, but Rocky runs away and Munki gives up. Rocky really wants the ball, though, and keeps on trying to sneak over and get it. But no matter what he tries, Pupster keeps popping up unexpectedly and scaring Rocky away.

Compass

The animals find it ridiculously easy to hide from the explorers, until Simon the explorer invents a mega-compass that can find any object that the explorers set their dial to. It’s suddenly a lot harder for Munki, Trunk and Tallbert to avoid being seen, until Munki makes a fake replacement compass that leads the explorers wildly astray.

Backpack

Trunk sees Simon going for a walk carrying Pupster in his backpack. She sneaks behind Simon, wanting Pupster to play with her. But when Munki tries to put Pupster back into the backpack, he accidentally gets picked up and shoved into it instead. Simon doesn't know he's carrying Munki instead of Pupster, and Trunk has to do whatever she can to rescue her friend before Simon finds out.

Costume Party

The explorers are doing their laundry, and Munki borrows some of their clothing and dresses up as a human. Trunk thinks it’s hilarious, but when Munki gets mistaken by the humans as one of their own, she needs to help him escape by making a human costume of her own.

Birthday Blunder

The humans set up a surprise birthday picnic for Rita the explorer, and while the animals are investigating it they accidentally smash the cake and lose all the presents, which float away after Munki ties balloons to them. Tallbert and Ribbert need to quickly make a replacement cake using mud and rocks, while Munki ties balloons to Trunk and uses her to float up after the presents.

Lawn Games

Humph the hedgehog gets even more grumpy than usual when the explorers discover his precious lawn and start playing lawn games on it. Munki and Trunk try everything they can to calm Humph down, but keep on getting interrupted by the explorers’s games.

Camera Trap

Mirabelle the explorer is determined to get a picture of an animal, and has set up a camera trap at the side of a clearing with a banana in the middle. Munki really wants the banana, and plays an escalating game of cat-and-mouse with Mirabelle in order to get it.

Good Dog

Pupster is causing chaos in the jungle: digging holes and chewing Munki's bananas. Munki and Trunk see that Rita is able to get Pupster to behave and even perform tricks, and Trunk is determined to get Pupster to obey her own commands. Pupster, however, has his own plans.

Radio Tallbert

Rita is listening to her radio in Munki’s clearing. While she’s briefly distracted, Tallbert comes out and dances to the music. He trips over the radio, sending it flying up in the air and accidentally swallowing it. It ends up stuck halfway down his long neck, and Munki has to try to get it out while also keeping his suddenly-very-noisy friend hidden from the explorer.

The Munki And Trunk Show

The animals discover the explorers old-school television, and Tallbert and Ribbert get hooked on human TV shows. To lure them back to safety, Munki and Trunk make a fake television out of bamboo poles and put on a show of their own.
