    Fairy Princess
[00:06] Sign
    Minky Momo
[01:37] Narrator
    Long, long ago...
[01:38] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:43] Narrator
    In a universe over there, in an Earth
    over there, in a city over there,
[01:47] Narrator
    there lived a girl.
[01:50] Narrator
    She looked like a completely normal
    girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
[01:54] Narrator
    The one difference was...
[01:56] Narrator
    The girl could use magic to
    transform into a grown-up!
[02:00] Narrator
    They called her Minky Momo.
SIGN    Please, Let Me Sleep!
[02:06] Momo
    "Please, Let Me Sleep!"
[02:24] Mama
    The man was being pursued.
[02:45] Mama
    He ran because he was being pursued.
[02:49] Mama
    Why was he being pursued?
[02:51] Mama
    Not even I knew, and I was the writer.
[02:56] Mama
    A mystery that not even the writer
    knows the answer to is the best kind!
[03:05] Lupi
    Your mother is writing.
[03:07] Chamo
    And your father is on an expedition.
[03:09] Momo
    And there's no guests at the hotel.
SIGN    Is this really okay?
[03:17] Mama
    It's absolutely okay!
[03:20] Mama
    It's much better than when I was
    struggling with writer's block.
[03:25] Mama
    Now it's boiling over!
[03:29] Momo
    The hot water, you mean?
[03:31] Mama
    Yes, the hot water is boiling as well.
[03:35] Mama
    But there's one other thing that's boiling...
[03:38] Mama
    You know what it is, Momo?
[03:40] Mama
    Momo?
[03:42] Momo
    Is there something else
    you left on the stove?
[03:45] Mama
    You still don't understand, Momo.
[03:47] Mama
    It's my ideas that are boiling over.
[03:50] Mama
    Ideas for a mystery novel are
    welling over in my brain!
[03:54] Mama
    They're about to pop!
[03:56] Mama
    The man was running, carrying
    the secret documents...
[04:09] Mama
    The door of the hotel was open.
[04:11] Mama
    The man slid in stealthily.
[04:18] Mama
    But that was as far as the man could go.
[04:21] Mama
    Exhausted from his long escape,
    he immediately passed out...
[04:25] Mama
    Oh?
[04:28] Momo
    What's the matter?
[04:30] Janet
    Please, let me sleep.
[04:40] Janet
    Please, forgive me!
[04:42] Janet
    Please! I promise I'll
    have the draft tomorrow!
[04:46] Janet
    So please, let me sleep...
[04:48] Mama
    Oh?
[04:49] Janet
    Oh?
[04:51] Mama
    You're... a woman?
[04:53] Mama
    Yes, I'm a girl.
[04:54] Mama
    Not a man?
[04:56] Mama
    Truth really is stranger than fiction.
[05:00] Janet
    I can't write a novel.
[05:02] Janet
    I want to sleep.
[05:04] Janet
    Excuse me...
[05:06] Momo
    She's sleeping.
[05:10] Janet
    No! Don't wake me up!
[05:12] Janet
    If you let me sleep for one day,
    I'll be able to write the novel!
[05:15] Mama
    Novel?
[05:16] Mama
    I'm writing a novel, as it happens...
[05:19] Janet
    The novel...
[05:21] Janet
    I have to write it.
[05:23] Janet
    Wait, where am I?
[05:25] Mama
    At a hotel.
[05:26] Janet
    A hotel?
[05:27] Momo
    Yes, the Legend Inn.
[05:29] Momo
    It's the oldest hotel in the city.
[05:33] Janet
    Hotel?
[05:35] Janet
    That means I can sleep!
[05:38] Janet
    May I have a key?
[05:40] Momo
    What?
[05:40] Janet
    I'd like a room for the night.
[05:43] Momo
    Okay, I'll show you to your room!
[05:49] Momo
    Will this room do?
[05:51] Janet
    Any room will do.
[05:53] Janet
    I just want to sleep ASAP.
[06:01] Janet
    A bed!
[06:04] Janet
    Oh, a bed...
[06:06] Janet
    Now I'll be able to sleep!
[06:09] Janet
    My darling bed!
[06:22] Janet
    Yahoo!
SIGN    Is this okay?
[06:28] Momo
    It's fine. She'll be able to sleep for sure.
[06:36] Janet
    My darling word processor.
[06:38] Janet
    Let's get a night's sleep and
    then write a wonderful novel.
[06:42] Janet
    Good night!
[06:45] Janet
    Yahoo!
[06:53] All
    Good night!
[06:55] Momo
    But it's still daytime.
[06:57] King
    It's all good, it's all good.
[06:59] King
    Afternoon naps, morning naps,
    evening naps, night naps...
[07:01] King
    When you're tired, you should sleep.
[07:04] King
    Darling, we should go to sleep as well.
[07:07] Queen
    Taking an afternoon nap
    is all right, at times...
[07:09] King
    Then let's sleep!
[07:10] Queen
    But you really fall asleep.
[07:13] King
    Is that bad?
[07:14] Queen
    It's quite boring.
[07:16] King
    Abhorring a snoring bore!
[07:18] Queen
    What's more... we should focus
    on Momo, who's still awake.
[07:21] King
    Indeed.
[07:22] Mama
    Can't sleep, must sleep. You should
    sleep when you can sleep... sleep?
[07:26] Momo
    The guest is fast asleep!
[07:29] Mama
    Still, I feel like I've seen
    that guest somewhere before.
[07:34] Momo
    The writer?
[07:36] Mama
    Yeah, writer...
[07:38] Mama
    Writer?
[07:40] Momo
    She did say she was writing a novel.
[07:49] Mama
    Hey, it's her!
[07:50] Mama
    The young writer of worldwide best
    sellers, Janet Melon Banana Squash!
[07:58] Mama
    Yes, coming!
[08:02] Janet
    Be quiet and let me sleep!
[08:04] Janet
    There's no one by the name of
    Janet Melon Banana Squash here!
[08:07] Janet
    Absolutely not!
[08:12] Janet
    Oops...
[08:15] Janet
    I accidentally said my name,
    even though they didn't ask.
[08:19] Man
    That was definitely Janet's voice.
[08:24] Man
    In my twenty years as an editor,
[08:25] Man
    my instincts for finding a draft
    have never once proven wrong.
[08:30] Man
    Looks like nobody's instinct missed that one.
[08:32] Man
    What was that?
[08:34] Man
    Look! It's Dokadoka Books, Dandan Inc,
    Shunshun Inc, Gakugaku House, Arama Books...
[08:39] Man
    And...
[08:41] Man
    They're rival publishers.
[08:43] Man
    And all of them have a deadline tomorrow.
[08:46] Man
    I'm sure they're all after Janet's book.
[08:50] Man
    I won't let them beat us.
[08:53] Mama
    I understand how you feel
    as a popular author.
[08:56] Mama
    I'm always falling asleep at the dinner
    table trying to write my masterpiece.
[09:01] Janet
    Oh, the blessed afternoon nap!
[09:03] Janet
    Please, let me sleep!
[09:07] Mama
    I understand.
[09:08] Janet
    I can't write my story without sleep.
[09:11] Mama
    I understand.
[09:12] Janet
    I'm not a novelist if I
    can't sleep and can't write.
[09:15] Mama
    I understand.
[09:17] Janet
    If I can't sleep and can't write and I'm
    not a novelist, I'm better off dead!
[09:20] Mama
    I understand!
[09:23] Janet
    If I can't sleep, I'd rather
    enter the longest sleep!
[09:29] Janet
    Long goodbye...
[09:33] Mama
    Stop. It's too soon to give up!
[09:38] Mama
    Tsk, tsk, tsk.
[09:39] Mama
    I won't let you make your long goodbye.
[09:42] Mama
    I ensure you a nice, long nap.
[09:45] Mama
    You know?
[09:46] Mama
    Momo!
[09:48] Mama
    Yes?
[09:49] Mama
    We, the Legend Inn, will guarantee
    our guest a comfortable rest!
[09:53] Mama
    That will be today's objective.
[09:55] Momo
    Okay!
[09:56] Janet
    Thank you!
[09:58] Janet
    I'm so... glad...
[10:02] Man
    I will get that draft.
[10:04] Man
    But what about the other publishers?
[10:08] Man
    They're all looking for an opening.
[10:10] Man
    It's time to use our heads!
[10:12] Man
    Plan number one!
[10:16] Momo
    She won't be able to hear the telephone now.
[10:19] Lupi
    What's your mother doing?
[10:22] Mama
    As a fellow writer, the co-owner
    of the Legend Inn steps up!
[10:26] Mama
    To protect Janet from the editors
    and give her a good rest!
[10:29] Momo
    Wow.
[10:32] Man
    Excuse me...
[10:34] Man
    I have a package for Miss Janet.
[10:37] Mama
    How did you get inside?
[10:39] Man
    Through there.
[10:42] Man
    She asked for it to be taken to her room.
[10:45] Mama
    W-Well, I...
[10:47] Man
    Which room is Miss Janet's?!
[10:50] Mama
    You can't see her now!
[10:52] Man
    But this is my job!
[10:54] Man
    Is it the second floor?
[10:57] Mama
    No, you can't!
[10:59] Man
    No one may visit the second floor today!
[11:02] Janet
    Can you keep it down?
[11:05] Janet
    Please, let me rest in peace!
[11:08] Man
    Miss Janet!
[11:10] Man
    We won't let you escape!
[11:11] Janet
    Mr. Ohno!
[11:13] Momo
    Mr. Ohno?!
[11:15] Man
    In my twenty years as an editor, I, Ohno,
[11:17] Man
    have never let a draft
    slip through my fingers!
[11:20] Mama
    Run!
[11:22] Janet
    Right!
[11:23] Man
    You won't escape!
[11:25] Man
    Come back here!
[11:29] Man
    Miss Janet!
[11:32] Momo
    Go, go, go!
[11:37] Men
    Ow!
[11:41] Momo
    We did it!
[11:46] Man
    We failed, didn't we?
[11:48] Man
    Oh, no!
[11:50] Man
    In my twenty years as editor, I've never
    let a draft slip through my fingers!
[11:55] Man
    I will not lose!
[12:00] Mama
    There!
[12:06] Mama
    Okay?
[12:08] Momo
    Okay!
[12:10] Mama
    We're dealing with an
    underhanded set of editors.
[12:12] Mama
    Don't let your guard down!
[12:14] Momo
    Right!

[12:21] sign
    Minky Momo
[12:24] Man
    It's no use. We can't get inside.
[12:26] Man
    It's too well guarded?
[12:27] Man
    Perfectly so.
[12:30] Man
    In my twenty years as editor, no
    challenge has proved insurmountable!
[12:32] Man
    I call this Operation: Santa Claus!
[12:40] Mama
    Is the second floor locked up?
[12:41] Momo
    Okay!
[12:42] Mama
    And the entrance?
[12:43] Momo
    Okay!
[12:44] Chamo
    We won't let anyone inside!
SIGN    Yeah!
[13:04] Man
    Okay, ready to go!
[13:06] Man
    Right!
[13:08] Man
    Give it your best!
[13:09] Mama
    Momo, the logs!
[13:10] Momo
    Okay!
[13:13] Man
    There's never been a draft I couldn't snatch!
[13:16] Man
    Just you wait!
[13:24] Man
    Who starts a fire when
    someone's in the chimney?!
[13:29] Man
    Oh, no!
[13:30] Man
    Mr. Ohno!
[13:43] Man
    Oh, no!
[13:45] Man
    So hot!
[13:52] Momo
    We did it!
[13:53] Mama
    It worked!
[14:01] Man
    Are you all right?
[14:04] Man
    An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...
[14:06] Man
    And a fire truck for fire!
[14:08] Man
    A fire truck?
[14:10] Mama
    We got him that time, but we
    have to keep our guard up.
[14:14] Momo
    Yes!
[14:15] Mama
    That won't be enough to
    make an editor give up.
[14:18] Mama
    They'll try something else for sure.
[14:20] Momo
    You're right.
[14:23] Momo
    Hey, Lupipi. Go check it out, okay?
[14:25] Lupi
    Aye, aye, sir!
[14:35] Man
    Listen up! Get Janet out
    of that hotel at any cost!
[14:39] Man
    Got it!
[14:42] Man
    Oh, no!
[14:45] Man
    Emergency! Emergency!
[14:46] Man
    Momo, emergency!
[14:47] Man
    The second floor!
[14:49] Momo
    Chamo, Cookbook, let's go!
[14:53] Man
    Just you wait!
[14:58] Momo
    Janet! Janet, wake up!
[15:02] Momo
    We have to run away, Janet!
[15:05] Janet
    What now? I'm still sleepy.
[15:08] Janet
    I can't write if you wake me up now...
[15:11] Momo
    Oh, dear...
[15:12] Lupi
    Look!
[15:16] Momo
    I know!
[15:17] Momo
    This is a dream!
[15:19] Momo
    You're sleeping, Janet!
[15:21] Janet
    A dream?
[15:23] Momo
    Yes, you're still dreaming!
[15:25] Janet
    I'm asleep?
[15:27] Janet
    Oh, I get it.
[15:29] Janet
    Dreams are a lot like being awake.
[15:31] Momo
    So come on! Hurry!
[15:33] Janet
    This is a dream?
[15:37] Man
    Don't let her escape! After her!
[15:40] Mama
    Momo?
[15:43] Crowd
    Get her!
[15:46] Momo
    No!
[15:48] Momo
    This way!
[15:54] Momo
    They're going to catch us at this rate!
[15:57] Crowd
    Get back here!
[15:59] Momo
    I know!
[16:01] Momo
    Meet me at the Legend Park fountain!
[16:03] Momo
    Get to it!
[16:15] Janet
    They're going to catch me!
[16:20] Momo
    Oh, dear. Janet's in big trouble!
[16:23] Momo
    Okay!
[16:27] Momo
    Attention, townspeople. We are
    very sorry to disturb you.
[16:32] Momo
    We'll take your old books and magazines,
[16:35] Momo
    in exchange for drafts by
    Janet Melon Banana Squash.
[16:39] Man
    What?
[16:39] Man
    Miss Janet's drafts?
[16:42] Man
    Get her!
[16:43] Man
    Yeah!
[16:45] Momo
    Yes! They'll grasp at any straw.
[16:48] All
    Wait, you!
[16:48] Janet
    I feel like we're safe.
SIGN    Now, let's run!
[16:53] All
    Wait, you!
[16:56] Momo
    I think we've gone far enough!
[16:59] Momo
    Bye!
[17:05] Man
    We can't catch her!
[17:07] Man
    We'll have to go back
    to where we were before.
[17:10] Man
    What?
[17:11] Man
    The criminal always returns
    to the scene of the crime.
[17:13] Man
    And novelists who miss their deadlines
    are basically the same as criminals.
[17:21] Momo
    Thank goodness. We're safe.
[17:23] Janet
    Safe, my eye!
[17:26] Janet
    I couldn't get any sleep. I'm wide awake.
[17:29] Janet
    I'll never write my novel!
[17:31] Momo
    But this is a dream.
[17:34] Janet
    This is no dream!
[17:35] Janet
    I've never had such a lucid dream before!
[17:38] Janet
    Oh, oh!
[17:40] Janet
    If I'm awake, I'm through!
[17:42] Janet
    Oh, oh!
[17:44] Momo
    Oh, dear. What do we do?
SIGN    Well, c'mon. Just make it a dream already.
[17:48] Momo
    You have an idea?
SIGN    Yes. A good idea.
SIGN    It was a real light bulb moment.
[17:53] Momo
    Then tell me!
[17:55] Momo
    Magic.
[17:56] Momo
    Magic?
[17:58] Momo
    Use it here?
SIGN    Yes, nothing to hide.
SIGN    Since this is Janet's dream, anyway.
[18:04] Momo
    Right. Magic.
[18:05] Momo
    Janet, since this is a dream, I'm going
    to transform into a grown-up now!
[18:10] Momo
    Transform into a grown-up?
[18:12] Momo
    Of course, of course!
[18:14] Momo
    Surely you jest. This
    isn't a dream or a story.
[18:17] Momo
    I'll prove it's a dream! Watch!
[18:23] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[18:26] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[18:28] Momo
    Because it's a dream, I can do what I want...
[18:31] Momo
    so become a princess with a Minky touch!
[18:58] Momo
    Well?
[19:00] Janet
    No way!
[19:02] Momo
    It's true! This is a dream!
[19:05] Janet
    A dream?
[19:06] Janet
    Oh, so it is a dream!
[19:08] Janet
    That's wonderful!
[19:09] Janet
    Well, it's a dream, can
    you become a novelist?
[19:13] Momo
    What?
[19:14] Janet
    Write my novel for me!
[19:19] Momo
    Dreams don't really work that way.
[19:21] Janet
    Don't be like that!
[19:23] Lupi
    Momo! Look at that!
[19:27] Man
    She escaped!
[19:28] Man
    Go!
[19:29] Man
    You won't escape!
[19:30] Man
    We'll get that draft!
[19:32] Momo
    So annoying.
[19:34] Momo
    In that case...
[19:40] All
    Miss Janet! Your draft!
[19:44] Momo
    Come on!
[19:47] Momo
    Now I'm an Olympic sprinter!
[19:49] Momo
    You really are! It really is a dream!
[19:52] Momo
    Yes, a dream.
[19:52] Momo
    Yes, this is a dream!
[19:55] Momo
    Even though I'm running... I'm really sleepy.
[19:58] Momo
    Please don't sleep just yet.
[20:00] Janet
    No big deal. It's just a dream.
[20:03] Momo
    It kind of is a big deal!
[20:06] Momo
    It's a dead end!
[20:07] Momo
    What do we do?
[20:10] Man
    Well, Miss Janet, feel like
    handing over the draft?
[20:13] Man
    We got here first!
[20:15] Man
    No, we have a deadline tomorrow.
[20:17] Man
    What's that? I found her first!
[20:20] Man
    I get first dibs!
[20:21] Janet
    Stop it!
[20:23] Janet
    Please stop fighting, everyone!
[20:25] Janet
    This is a dream! Don't chase me
    for my draft, even in my dreams!
[20:29] Man
    What is she talking about?
[20:30] Man
    I won't let you get away!
[20:33] Man
    Nah, I'm gonna get away.
[20:35] Man
    Let's go, Momo.
[20:37] Momo
    Right. Where to?
[20:38] Janet
    Into the sky.
[20:40] Janet
    If it's a dream, I can fly!
[20:42] Janet
    Farewell, editors!
[20:44] Janet
    In my dreams, I can fly forever!
[20:50] Janet
    That's strange. I seem to be falling.
[20:52] Janet
    But when I'm scared, just fall asleep!

    She's sleeping. Amazing!
[20:58] Momo
    But I'm still falling with her!
[21:04] Man
    They fell.
[21:07] Man
    The draft fell, too.
[21:08] Man
    The book fell.
[21:09] Man
    Oh, no...

[21:18] News
    and unidentified athlete who fell
    into the lake remain missing.
[21:23] Man
    I will find you! No matter where
    you are, I will get your draft!
[21:29] Mama
    And then even more people
    dove into the lake...
[21:33] Mama
    But the woman who fell in
    first was not inside the lake.
[21:37] Mama
    Where could she be?
[21:40] Mama
    Only I, the writer, know the answer!
[21:47] Janet
    What a nice sleep!
[21:48] Momo
    Awake now?
[21:50] Janet
    Yes, and I feel amazing.
[21:52] Janet
    I had a wonderful dream!
[21:54] Momo
    Here.
[21:55] Janet
    Thanks.
[21:58] Janet
    I know! I'll make the dream into a novel.
[22:02] Janet
    Time to get writing!
[22:06] Janet
    Long, long ago...
[22:07] Janet
    Well, actually only a little ago...
[22:10] Janet
    There lived a girl.
[22:12] Janet
    She looked like a completely normal
    girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
[22:16] Janet
    The one difference was...
[22:18] Janet
    The girl could use magic to transform
    into an 18-year-old grown-up!
[22:23] Janet
    They called her...
[22:28] Momo
    They called her "Minky Momo"! Maybe?
