    Hello, Minky Momo
[01:37] Momo
    "Hello, Minky Momo."
[01:42] Narrator
    Long, long ago...
[01:44] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:54] Archaeologist
    I feel like we're on the verge
    of a grand discovery, don't you?
[01:58] Papa
    Yes, Earth still contains
    so many unsolved mysteries!
[02:05] Archaeologist
    Curious. It's a dead end.
[02:07] Papa
    Yes, that shouldn't be the case...
[02:11] Archaeologist
    An earthquake?
[02:12] Archaeologist
    Is it the curse of the ruins?!
[02:30] Archaeologist
    Oh, it was just a subway line.
[02:33] Papa
    I see!
[02:34] Papa
    Well, it'll be nice to have
    that when it's time to go home.
[02:37] Archaeologist
    Doctor! Look!
[02:49] Papa
    Th-Th-This is...
[02:51] Archaeologist
    Th-Th-That is...
[02:54] Papa
    The common tongue found in
    ancient ruins worldwide...
[02:57] Papa
    The La-Dee-Da Language!
[02:59] Archaeologist
    La-Dee-Da Language? From
    the legendary Fenarinarsa?
[03:02] Papa
    Yes, I'm sure of it.
[03:06] Archaeologist
    Hey, it's time for lunch.
[03:09] Archaeologist
    Let's eat before we try to decipher it.
[03:11] Papa
    But why?
[03:12] Papa
    We've come so close...
[03:14] Archaeologist
    Doctor, the ruins aren't going anywhere.
[03:16] Archaeologist
    And the subway's nearby.
[03:18] Papa
    True enough!
[03:23] Papa
    Whew, we finally made it out.
[03:29] Staff
    Welcome!
[03:30] Staff
    What can I get you?
[03:34] Papa
    Go on and eat without me.
    I'm going to make a call.
[03:37] Mama
    The mansion had gone quiet and still
    in light of the terrible murders
[03:41] Mama
    that had taken place there.
[03:44] Mama
    And then, and then, and 
    then there were none...
[03:47] Mama
    Who could have committed the murders?
[03:51] Mama
    Wait, who was it again?
[03:54] Mama
    How can you tell if there's no one left?
[03:57] Mama
    Who could it be?
[03:59] Mama
    Oh, dear?
[04:00] Papa
    Dear! I made an incredible
    discovery in the ruins!
[04:03] Mama
    That's lovely, dear!
[04:05] Mama
    I've almost finished my detective
    novel, too! Celebrate!
[04:09] Papa
    That's great!
[04:10] Papa
    And you made sure there's a
    murderer this time, right?
[04:13] Mama
    What?
[04:14] Mama
    Oh, who was it again?
[04:16] Mama
    S-So, what did you discover?
[04:18] Papa
    An incredible mural written
    in La-Dee-Da Language!
[04:22] Mama
    La-Dee-Da Language? From that
    famous kingdom of dreams?
[04:26] Papa
    Yes, it's possible that
    Fenarinarsa really existed!
[04:30] Mama
    The legend of Fenarinarsa...
[04:34] Narrator
    Long, long ago, Earth was
    filled with hopes and dreams.
[04:38] Narrator
    And it was filled with
    kingdoms of hopes and dreams
[04:43] Narrator
    that anyone could visit at any time.
[04:45] Narrator
    But as Earth's people began to
    lose their hopes and dreams,
[04:48] Narrator
    the various dreamlands began
    moving away from Earth.
[04:53] Narrator
    To reverse this process, some time
    ago, a dreamland called Fenarinarsa
[04:58] Narrator
    sent a girl called Minky Momo to Earth
    to bring dreams back to its people.
[05:04] Narrator
    But she failed in her mission, and the
    dreamlands continued to move away from Earth.
[05:12] King
    La-dee-da-dee-da! Oh, Earth
    is further away than ever!
[05:16] Queen
    Shouldn't we do something?
[05:17] Queen
    At this rate, Earth will lose all
    its remaining hopes and dreams.
[05:22] King
    But there are no more dreamlands
    like ours left on Earth!
[05:27] Queen
    Untrue!
[05:28] Queen
    Shockingly enough, there was a person
    there even more carefree than you.
[05:32] Queen
    He may still be on Earth!
[05:36] Queen
    Look!
[05:37] Queen
    You were often sent into the hall
    together for arriving late to school.
[05:41] King
    La-dee-da-dee-da!
[05:42] King
    I'm ashamed to admit he's
    my cousin from Marinarsa...
[05:47] Queen
    Why not call him and see?
[05:50] King
    Call Marinarsa, eh?
[05:51] King
    Let's see. The phone number is
    "the sea is vast and deep"...
[05:59] King
    The sea is vast and deep.
[06:02] King
    The sea is as deep as can be.
[06:05] King
    So deep, it's kind of a problem... la-dee-da!
[06:15] King
    Oh, I'm still sleeping!
[06:18] King
    Get the phone, darling.
[06:20] Queen
    The phone is by your bed, darling.
[06:22] King
    But...
[06:23] King
    What is it? It's night here, you know.
[06:27] King
    Don't place international calls
    if you can't remember time zones.
[06:30] King
    Oh? It's daytime here?
[06:32] King
    Oh, you're right.
[06:35] King
    We've been deep on the ocean floor
    since Earth's people lost their
[06:38] King
    hopes and dreams, see?
[06:40] King
    It's so dark, it's impossible
    to tell day from night.
[06:44] King
    That's just the problem.
[06:46] King
    Right, darling?
[06:49] Sun
    It's morning!
[06:53] Momo
    It's morning!
[06:54] Momo
    Wake up and let's fly!
[06:57] Momo
    Chamo, let's race!
[06:59] Chamo
    You won't beat me!
[07:00] Momo
    Cookbook, turn the wind to full blast!
[07:02] Momo
    I want to fly even higher!
SIGN    You sure about this?
[07:06] Lupipi
    It's just fine!
[07:07] Lupipi
    She could set a Marinarsa record today!
SIGN    Okay, let's do it!
[07:18] Momo
    I did it! I'm over the
    cloud layer, a new record!
[07:21] Momo
    Next, I'll try to reach the sun!
[07:23] Chamo
    This is probably the upper limit!
[07:25] Momo
    When I try something,
    there is no upper limit!
[07:27] Momo
    I've come this far, so I'm going for it!
[07:30] Momo
    Bye!
[07:31] Momo
    Here I go!
[07:41] Momo
    Guess I do have an upper limit.
[07:44] Momo
    I sure wish Marinarsa
    didn't have a ceiling...
[07:48] Lupipi
    Quick, use a landing spell!
[07:50] Momo
    Not yet. Falling feels nice!
[07:53] Momo
    Watch!
SIGN    Is she sure about this?
SIGN    Knew it.
[08:04] Lupipi
    Are you all right?
[08:05] Momo
    Just fine, just fine.
SIGN    This is a dreamland! No  one gets hurt that badly.
[08:11] Momo
    Still... I got bonked at the
    top and bonked at the bottom.
[08:17] Momo
    I wish we could play in
    a place with more space.
[08:21] Pendant
    La-dee-da. La-dee-da.
[08:22] Momo
    Oh, Papa's calling.
[08:26] King
    And so, according to the King of Fenarinarsa,
[08:31] King
    if someone with royal
    blood goes to the surface
[08:34] King
    and brings hopes and dreams to humanity,
[08:36] King
    Marinarsa will be able to
    rise back above the sea.
[08:42] Momo
    Hopes and dreams?
[08:43] King
    Oh, don't think too hard about it.
[08:45] King
    It's fine, la-dee-da.
[08:46] Momo
    The surface is bigger than here, right?
[08:49] King
    Yeah, it's a bit bigger.
[08:50] Momo
    I'd love to go, then!
[08:53] King
    If Fenarinarsa's princess can do it,
    there's no reason our daughter can't!
[08:58] Queen
    I'm afraid you'll have a squid, a clam,
    and a whale of a time getting there.
[09:01] King
    Oh? Why a whale of a time?
[09:06] Queen
    Fenarinarsa was a dreamland
    that hung in the sky.
[09:09] Queen
    So it was simple for them to send
    someone down to the surface.
[09:13] Queen
    She needed only to fall in
    accordance with Newton's laws.
[09:17] Queen
    But Marinarsa is on the sea floor.
[09:20] Queen
    To arrive on Earth, one must
    defy gravity to rise up.
[09:27] King
    Fair point, now that you mention it...
[09:29] King
    That's pretty tricky.
[09:32] King
    Dream Computer, what should we do?
[09:36] Computer
    The answer:
[09:37] Computer
    Once every 1444 years,
[09:39] Computer
    the gravity in Marinarsa's skies
    is reduced to zero for one day.
[09:43] Computer
    If you act then, you can
    easily rise to the surface.
[09:46] King
    When will that once-in-1444-years
    chance come?
[09:51] Computer
    It is today.
[09:53] Computer
    If you miss this chance, your next
    one will not be for 1444 years.
[09:57] Momo
    Okay, then I guess I'd better get going!
[10:00] King
    Then it's settled!
[10:02] Queen
    I'm glad that it's settled, but
    there's an even greater problem.
[10:06] King
    And what's that?
[10:08] Queen
    If she's going to the
    surface, she'll need a name.
[10:11] King
    Good point. We just called her "our
    daughter" and never gave her a name.
[10:14] Queen
    Yes. You said she was our only daughter so
    we didn't need a name to distinguish her,
[10:20] Queen
    and I just went along with it...
[10:25] King
    I never had time to think of a name!
[10:28] King
    But the girl from Fenarinarsa was Minky Momo,
[10:30] King
    so how about we call her Minky Momo again?
[10:33] Momo
    I'm in!
[10:35] Queen
    Is it all right to just accept that?
[10:37] Momo
    I wanna get that stuff
    outta the way and get going!
[10:40] King
    "Momo" is like "Momotaro."
[10:42] King
    So you need to go with a
    dog, a bird, and a monkey.
SIGN    They're really rushing through  it. Are we sure about this?
[10:49] Lupipi
    Who cares? I want to fly
    through a boundless sky, too!
[10:52] Chamo
    Adventure is a young man's duty! Let's go!
[10:55] Momo
    Yeah!
[10:58] Momo
    Well, I'm heading out!
[11:02] Queen
    Take care, Momo.
[11:04] King
    But stay carefree!
[11:05] King
    Have yourself a good time!
[11:07] Momo
    Okay! Let's start!
[11:16] Momo
    Minky Momo, moving out!
[11:29] Narrator
    And so the princess of Marinarsa,
    the dreamland on the sea floor,
[11:32] Narrator
    set out for the surface with
    her three animal friends.
[11:36] Narrator
    Her destination was the
    house of a childless couple,
[11:38] Narrator
    where she'd live as their daughter.
[11:42] Papa
    "And on that day that came
    once every 1444 years,
[11:47] Papa
    the clouds of stars lined
    up as one, la-dee-da."
[11:51] Papa
    That's what it says.
[11:53] Archaeologist
    "The clouds of stars lined up"?
[11:56] Archaeologist
    Are they talking about
    a nebular conjunction?!
[11:58] Papa
    That does seem very possible!
[12:00] Archaeologist
    But that's today!
[12:02] Papa
    Today?!
[12:02] Announcer
    Earth's going to see a sight
    it hasn't seen in 1444 years.
[12:06] Announcer
    Needless to say, today's the
    day of the nebular conjunction
[12:09] Announcer
    predicted by Dr. Quinstein and Dr. Hahawking!
[12:12] Announcer
    The people are looking skyward with
    a mixture of fear and curiosity!
[12:24] Sign
    Fairy Princess
[12:24] Sign
    Minky Momo
[12:28] Sign
    Fairy Princess
[12:28] Sign
    Minky Momo
[12:34] Momo
    When are we gonna reach the top?
SIGN    We finally just arrived at 10,000 meters.
SIGN    We've got a long way to go.
[12:48] Crew
    Captain, I've got something strange.
[12:50] Bottom
    What is it?
[12:51] Crew
    It's not any submarine
    nationality that I know.
[12:53] Bottom
    Suspicious.
[12:58] Momo
    A ship! A ship!
[12:59] Lupipi
    We've finally reached human
    civilization! What a thrill!
[13:02] Crew
    They're not responding to comms, sir.
[13:05] Bottom
    An unknown threat! Attack!
[13:09] Momo
    Is that a greeting? Hello!
[13:19] Crew
    I think we hit it.
[13:20] Bottom
    Great! Keep it up!
[13:26] Momo
    Seems a little intense for a greeting...
SIGN    That wasn't a greeting. It was an attack!
[13:31] Chamo
    Let's fight back with magic, then!
SIGN    Right! Ready magic!
[13:41] Momo
    It looks cool, but will
    they survive if we do this?
SIGN    It's dream magic. It won't hurt anybody.
[13:48] Momo
    Then safety off! Let's get to it!
[13:50] Momo
    Fire magic!
[13:57] Momo
    Hey! Wh-What's going on?
[13:59] Computer
    Our opponents do not believe in magic.
[14:01] Computer
    Their lack of belief caused a backfire
    that sent us flying instead!
[14:06] Crew
    It's too fast to pursue.
    It can't be an Earth craft!
[14:09] Bottom
    No way! It can't be!
[14:16] Momo
    Oh, no! We're speeding up more!
[14:24] Mama
    Isn't it lovely?
[14:25] Papa
    What?
[14:26] Mama
    The legend of Fenarinarsa.
[14:28] Mama
    "A child from a land of dreams
    comes to visit a childless couple."
[14:33] Mama
    Too bad. I wish she'd come to us.
[14:36] Papa
    A child, huh? That would be nice.
[14:39] Mama
    But legends are just legends.
[14:41] Mama
    Let's at least find a shooting
    star and make a wish on it.
[14:43] Papa
    Good idea.
[14:49] Mama
    Dear, that was a shooting star!
[14:51] Papa
    It was.
[14:51] Mama
    Did you make a wish?
[14:53] Papa
    Of course. I wished that
    we could have a child.
[14:56] Mama
    I'm so happy! I wished for the same thing!
[15:03] Papa
    Wait... do shooting stars typically go up?
[15:06] Mama
    Who cares? It's still a star.
[15:10] Papa
    You're right.
[15:20] Momo
    What do I do? We keep speeding up...
SIGN    At a time like this...
[15:26] All
    La-dee-da, let it work itself out!
[15:39] Momo
    Cookbook, what is that?
SIGN    I-It's a black hole!
SIGN    If it sucks us in, we'll never escape!
[15:48] Computer
    It must be the influence
    of the nebular conjunction!
[15:58] Momo
    In that case... in that case...
[16:00] Momo
    I'll do it!
[16:01] Lupipi
    Do what?
[16:04] Momo
    Magic, full throttle!
[16:40] Momo
    Where are we?
SIGN    I think we're on a plane.
[16:45] Lupipi
    And... oh, dear!
[16:52] Man
    Listen up! Just stay where
    you are and no one gets hurt.
[16:55] Man
    All we want is the plane!
[16:59] Chamo
    Out of the frying pan, into the fire!
[17:01] Chamo
    Now we're on a hijacked plane!
[17:05] Momo
    What do we do?
[17:06] Momo
    I think I used up most of
    my magic on that black hole.
SIGN    That's right!
SIGN    You can't use most magic  effectively in this world...
SIGN    But I bet you can use that one!
[17:17] Momo
    That's right!
[17:18] Momo
    I'll try that one!
[17:21] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[17:24] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[17:27] Momo
    We're on a plane, so become a
    stewardess with a Minky touch!
[17:57] Man
    What is it?
[17:58] Man
    I thought I heard something...
[18:00] Man
    I'm gonna check it out.
[18:09] Momo
    Hi!
[18:09] Man
    Wh-Who are you?!
[18:11] Momo
    Attention, please! This is
    the stewardess speaking.
[18:15] Momo
    Is there anything you need right now?
[18:16] Man
    Of course not!
[18:18] Momo
    In that case, could you kindly
    stop hijacking this airplane?
[18:22] Man
    Don't be stupid!
[18:23] Man
    I'm not gonna just give up because
    some stewardess asked me to!
[18:27] Momo
    Who would have to ask you, then?
[18:29] Man
    A member of the police, or the military...
[18:32] Man
    Nah, that's too low-ranked.
[18:34] Man
    I'd need some elite special
    forces member to make me stop!
[18:38] Momo
    I see. So a stewardess isn't good enough.
[18:41] Momo
    But as long as I'm a stewardess for now...
[18:43] Momo
    Coffee? Tea? Powdered, leaf, or coarse?
[18:46] Man
    Well, I guess I'll have a coffee.
[18:49] Momo
    Yes, just a moment, please! Be right back.
[18:57] Man
    Wh-What was that?
[18:58] Man
    I think the coffee just... flashed?
[19:05] Momo
    Well? Will you let the plane go now?
[19:08] Man
    Yeah, right! Never!
[19:10] Momo
    You'd better back off! I'm a pro!
[19:17] Chamo
    Gotcha!
SIGN    There!
[19:23] Momo
    Hands up, if you please.
[19:25] Men
    R-Right!
[19:26] Momo
    The rest of you, hands down, please.
[19:29] Chamo
    We did it!
SIGN    Yeah, great work!
[19:33] Lupipi
    Your stewardess was nice, but your
    fighting woman is very beautiful, too!
[19:37] Momo
    Why, thank you!
[19:50] Momo
    I'm glad we finally made it, but
    where should we actually go?
[20:13] Lupipi
    It's time for our last resort!
SIGN    Yeah, let's do it!
[20:16] Chamo
    It's agreed!
[20:17] Momo
    What are you going to do?
SIGN    We're going to combine our magic power.
SIGN    That should get you to someone  who will take you in.
[20:26] Lupipi
    But if we do it, we might never
    be able to use magic again!
[20:30] Momo
    I can't let you do that!
[20:32] Chamo
    What's the big deal?
[20:33] Chamo
    Marinarsa magic barely works
    in this world, anyway!
SIGN    Yeah, it looks like the  only magic that works here
SIGN    is the spell that turns you into a grown-up!
[20:42] Momo
    But...
[20:43] Chamo
    Let's do it!
SIGN    Heave-ho!
[20:45] Lupi
    Yes!
[21:02] Mama
    And then there were none inside the mansion.
[21:06] Mama
    Oh? Which means there's
    no murderer, either...
[21:15] Mama
    What? Was it a mouse?
[21:18] Papa
    That's too big for a mouse! A cat?
[21:20] Papa
    Too big for a cat! A dog?
[21:22] Papa
    Too big for a dog! A...
[21:24] Both
    Burglar!
[21:32] Papa
    Softly, sneaking...
[21:33] Mama
    Softly, sneaking...
[21:42] Momo
    Hi, Papa, Mama!
[21:44] Papa
    Hi, Momo!
[21:44] Mama
    It's getting late! Make
    sure you turn in soon!
[21:46] Momo
    Yes, I'm a bit tired from
    the day. Good night!
[21:50] Papa
    Good night.
[21:51] Mama
    Good night, Momo.
[21:56] Papa
    Eh?
[21:57] Papa
    Did we always have a girl there?
[21:59] Mama
    I'm not sure.
[22:00] Mama
    Still, it's better than there being none.
[22:03] Mama
    It means we've got a wonderful daughter.
[22:06] Papa
    That's true.
