[01:36] 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.
[01:53] 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    Focus?
    The Witnessed Transformation
[02:06] Narrator
    "Focus? The Witnessed Transformation!"
[02:19] Lupi
    Aren't they lovely?
[02:21] Momo
    I'd love to wear one!
[02:23] Lupi
    They'd look great on you.
[02:25] Momo
    You think? Oh, I bet they would!
[02:27] Momo
    Maybe I'll save up money to buy one!
[02:29] Lupi
    You can't just buy food! You
    need to invest in fashion, too!
[02:32] Chamo
    Why do women take so long shopping?
SIGN    So true.
SIGN    It's been two hours!
[02:42] Chamo
    I'm bored!
[02:43] Chamo
    I wish something interesting
    would happen! A real blast!
[02:50] Momo
    What's going on?
SIGN    Looks like a car crash.
[02:55] Momo
    What could have happened? Let's go see!
[02:57] Chamo
    W-Wait!
[03:03] Chamo
    Darn it, I can't see!
[03:07] Lupi
    Oh, my! This is awful!
[03:10] Man
    Yes, yes, excuse me.
[03:14] Momo
    What's his problem?
SIGN    No idea.
[03:25] Cop
    Hey, you! You're not allowed.
[03:27] Man
    Don't be so strict. I'm after a
    story for the evening edition.
[03:32] Momo
    Hey, it's that guy again!
SIGN    Looks like a newspaper reporter.
[03:37] Cop
    Okay, stand back!
[03:40] Momo
    I can't see like this!
[03:42] Momo
    Okay, in that case...
SIGN    What are you gonna do, Momo?
[03:54] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[03:57] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[04:00] Momo
    Become a newspaper reporter
    with a Minky touch!
[04:32] Momo
    This camera will catch any scoop I find!
[04:35] Lupi
    So cool!
SIGN    This is a long way to  go just to rubberneck...
[04:41] Man
    Please at least let me take pictures!
[04:43] Cop
    No way.
[04:44] Man
    What, really? C'mon...
[04:47] Man
    I brought my camera and everything...
[04:49] Momo
    Excuse me! Coming through!
[04:52] Momo
    Is this the accident?
[04:54] Momo
    Oh, wow!
[04:58] Driver
    You were driving distracted!
[05:01] Driver
    Yeah, right! I bet you
    were asleep at the wheel!
[05:04] Reporter
    Keep at it. That will make
    for a better article.
[05:07] Reporter
    But that was my last picture...
[05:13] Momo
    There!
[05:14] Momo
    That was an impactful picture. Very good!
[05:17] Momo
    So? What caused the accident?
[05:19] Driver
    I was coming from that way...
[05:21] Driver
    And I was coming from that way...
[05:23] Driver
    And then...
[05:24] Driver
    Crash!
[05:28] Momo
    I see. But it's not good to fight.
[05:31] Momo
    Let's be friends. Say cheese!
[05:33] Momo
    Cheese!
[05:34] Momo
    Okay, goodbye!
[05:36] Reporter
    What a nuisance. Still, she's pretty good.
[05:41] Reporter
    Gotta buy some new film.
[05:45] Reporter
    Wow. Didn't know there
    was a reporter that good.
[06:11] Chamo
    Oh, no! A person!
SIGN    Did he see her transformation?
[06:16] Reporter
    Hey, you okay?
[06:18] Momo
    I'm okie-dokie.
[06:21] Lupi
    This is bad, Momo! He saw you!
[06:25] Momo
    Well, I'm in a hurry! So long! Goodbye!
[06:38] Momo
    That was delicious!
[06:40] Chamo
    That was scary.
[06:42] Chamo
    I didn't expect to see a person there!
[06:44] Lupi
    You think he saw Momo use her magic?
SIGN    Can't be sure just yet.
[06:49] Momo
    You think I'm in trouble?
[06:55] Momo
    Well, it's probably fine!
[07:03] King
    It's all good!
[07:04] King
    It'll work itself out, la-dee-da!
[07:08] Queen
    How can you be so easygoing?
[07:11] King
    An easygoing manner leads to happiness!
[07:14] Queen
    That's not necessarily true.
[07:17] Queen
    Look!
[07:19] Abel
    Excuse me!
[07:30] Mama
    Welcome. Would you like a room?
[07:32] Abel
    No, I'm a reporter with
    the Overthere Tribune.
[07:35] Abel
    My name is Abel Walker.
[07:37] Chamo
    He said he's a reporter!
SIGN    No wonder he tracked us down.
[07:42] Momo
    What now?
[07:43] Mama
    Okay, I'll let him know!
[07:45] Mama
    Papa, you have a visitor!
[07:47] Papa
    Coming!
[07:49] Papa
    You want to interview me, then?
[07:52] Abel
    Yes. I want to put you in
    our "Around Town" corner.
[07:57] Papa
    Certainly! Right this way.
[08:00] Mama
    Momo, please serve the tea.
[08:04] Momo
    Okay...
[08:16] Lupi
    What now? What now?
[08:18] Chamo
    This is so dangerous!
[08:23] Abel
    Hello! Have we met before?
[08:27] Abel
    Boy, I have a terrible memory for faces!
[08:37] Abel
    Yes, that should do it!
[08:41] Abel
    Sorry, I forgot to put in the film...
[08:45] Abel
    Okay, let's do the interview.
[08:49] Abel
    Whoops!
[08:53] Mama
    A-Are you all right?
[08:56] Abel
    I-I'm fine.
[08:57] Chamo
    Is he really a reporter?
SIGN    I can tell he's working hard, but...
[09:02] Abel
    Sorry, I'm always like this.
[09:05] Abel
    I've never scored a proper scoop.
[09:09] Papa
    That's all right.
[09:10] Papa
    If I ever make a big discovery, I'll
    give you an exclusive interview.
[09:15] Mama
    Same, if I ever win a major writing award!
[09:19] Abel
    I appreciate it! Thank you!
SIGN    I doubt that'll ever happen.
[09:30] Abel
    Thanks for having me.
[09:32] Mama
    Please come again sometime!
[09:33] Abel
    Okay. Well, goodbye!
[09:44] Momo
    Mr. Abel?
[09:50] Abel
    Ow, ow, ow!
[09:52] Momo
    Pain, pain, fly away!
[09:55] Chamo
    Huh?
[09:55] Momo
    Does it still hurt?
[09:56] Abel
    I'm fine. It happens all the time.
[09:59] Abel
    I'm really clumsy. I always get told
    I'm not cut out to be a reporter.
[10:03] Momo
    No, that's not true, I'm sure!
[10:05] Abel
    Thanks.
[10:07] Abel
    My dream is to become a great
    reporter and win the Tulip Prize.
[10:12] Momo
    Tulip?
[10:14] Abel
    It's an award given to the reporter
    who writes the most inspiring article.
[10:24] News
    The moment is here!
[10:26] News
    This year's Tulip Prize goes to Abel
    Walker of the Overthere Tribune!
[10:41] Momo
    What a big dream!
[10:43] Momo
    I hope it comes true.
[10:45] Abel
    A pretty unlikely dream, of course.
[10:47] Abel
    Though I'm sure that person could do it...
[10:49] Momo
    That person?
[10:50] Abel
    I saw an amazingly skilled
    reporter in town today.
[10:55] Abel
    I wish I could be more like her!
[11:05] Momo
    Bye-bye!
[11:11] Chamo
    You think he'll ever reach his dream?
SIGN    Not at this rate, for sure.
[11:17] Momo
    I wish I could do something to help him!
[11:21] Momo
    I can't help but worry...
[11:35] Momo
    Yeah, we definitely have to help him!
[11:58] Spart
    There's been no decent stories lately.
[12:01] Spart
    You know what they say: If there's
    no stories, make your own!
[12:04] Spart
    Eh?
[12:05] Abel
    Wow, this thing's loaded!
[12:09] Spart
    I saw you, I saw you!
[12:11] Spart
    I caught you stealing red-handed!
[12:13] Spart
    Eh? If it isn't Abel of
    the Overthere Tribune.
[12:15] Abel
    Um... and who were you, again?
[12:19] Spart
    The ace reporter of the Overthere Tribune's
    eternal rival, the Overthere Times!
[12:22] Spart
    I am the great Spart!
[12:24] Spart
    When will you finally remember?
[12:26] Abel
    Sorry.
[12:28] Spart
    This is why you've never been
    able to write a decent article.
[12:31] Abel
    I suppose so.
[12:33] Spart
    Why not try to get it together?
[12:36] Abel
    Well, I'm trying my best, but...
[12:38] Chamo
    Hey, he's being so mean!
[12:41] Chamo
    I can't stand it!
[12:42] Momo
    Okay, in that case...
[12:44] Spart
    Well, I don't have time to deal
    with a lousy reporter like you.
[12:48] Spart
    Get going already!
[12:50] Momo
    That's quite enough...
[12:51] Momo
    from someone who
    manufactures his own scoops.
[12:53] Spart
    What's that?
[12:56] Spart
    Hey, you're that—
[12:58] Momo
    Reporters should resolve their
    differences through their articles.
[13:02] Spart
    All right. In that case...
[13:04] Spart
    Let's compete to see who
    gets the better story!
[13:08] Momo
    Fine. You're on.
[13:14] Momo
    Let's go, Abel.
[13:15] Abel
    Um, who were you again?
[13:18] Momo
    Argh!
SIGN    I'm not sure about this.

[13:40] Momo
    First, let's walk around
    looking for a subject.
[13:42] Abel
    Right.
[13:43] Abel
    I appreciate this.
[13:44] Abel
    Someone like you going out
    of your way to coach me...
[13:49] Momo
    Momo told me all about you.
[13:51] Momo
    Let's make you a proper reporter so that
    jerks like him can't look down on you!
[13:55] Abel
    Right. But it's not like he's wrong.
[13:58] Abel
    My editor's always getting mad at me.
[14:01] Abel
    My parents want me to come back to the
    country and get a regular office job.
[14:04] Abel
    But...
[14:06] Momo
    But?
[14:09] Abel
    I like this job.
[14:14] Momo
    Then let's do what it takes
    to get a great story!
[14:17] Abel
    Right!
[14:19] Momo
    The reporters go where the stories are!
[14:21] Momo
    My gut tells me... that way!
[14:28] Spart
    That woman seems like an excellent reporter.
[14:31] Spart
    If I follow her, I'll find a scoop for sure!
[14:34] Spart
    Where'd she go?!
[14:44] Robber
    Hey, Bro, how much longer?
[14:46] Robber
    Hold on a minute.
[14:47] Robber
    We should be under the safe right now.
[14:51] Robber
    Okay, dig up!
[14:54] Robber
    For money! Heave-ho!
[14:58] Robber
    To open that safe! Heave-ho!
[15:03] Robber
    You're so smart, Bro.
[15:04] Robber
    Digging a tunnel to sneak into a bank...
[15:07] Robber
    I guess. That's why I graduated
    from Barvard University.
[15:11] Robber
    Hey, there we are!
[15:13] Robber
    We're here!
[15:15] Robber
    Well, that's a shock!
[15:24] Momo
    A crime in progress!
[15:25] Momo
    Abel, are you ready?
[15:28] Momo
    Abel?
[15:29] Momo
    Abel!
[15:30] Abel
    This girl says she's lost.
[15:33] Abel
    Perfect, there's a station right there!
[15:36] Abel
    Look after her, would you?
[15:40] Momo
    Wait, Abel!
[15:42] Momo
    It's not safe—
[15:48] Momo
    Gosh...
[15:55] Momo
    She's lost. Could you look after her?
[16:00] Momo
    Abel, wake up!
[16:03] Momo
    Spart?!
[16:05] Spart
    This scoop is mine!
[16:06] Momo
    Wait!
[16:09] Momo
    Abel...
[16:10] Abel
    Mr. Policeman... I found a lost wallet...
[16:20] Abel
    Sorry about all the trouble.
[16:22] Momo
    Hey, it's fine.
[16:24] Momo
    The girl's mother found her, too.
[16:28] Lupi
    Isn't this romantic?
SIGN    Looks like they forgot about the contest.
[16:33] Boy
    Overthere Times, Evening Edition!
[16:35] Boy
    We've got a scoop on a bank robbery arrest!
[16:38] Boy
    What's that?!
[16:39] Boy
    Ow!
[16:42] Momo
    It's Spart... he got us!
[16:45] Chamo
    That's the story you tracked down!
[16:47] Lupi
    I can't stand it!
SIGN    To get it published that quickly...
SIGN    Even if you wrote it up for  the Overthere Times now,
SIGN    it wouldn't print until tomorrow.
[16:56] Abel
    It's okay.
[16:58] Abel
    We'll get another chance.
[17:01] Abel
    Right?
[17:04] Momo
    We'll just have to keep giving it our all!
[17:07] Momo
    Abel, let's find a bigger story!
[17:11] Abel
    Right!
[17:12] Momo
    Okay, okay! Sixth sense of mine...
[17:14] Momo
    The story's over there!
[17:17] Lupi
    Hey, look!
[17:19] Lupi
    Can it be...
[17:20] Lupi
    Could it be...
[17:22] Momo
    A fire!
SIGN    The fire trucks aren't here yet!
SIGN    Look! Someone's up there!
[17:36] Woman
    Help me, someone!
[17:40] Momo
    What do we do?
[17:41] Momo
    Reporters can't put a fire out...
[17:44] Momo
    Abel?
[17:48] Abel
    You wait here.
[17:54] Momo
    Abel?
SIGN    We've gotta get moving!
SIGN    Momo, transform!
[17:59] Momo
    Okay!
[18:02] Momo
    Chant abridged! Become a
    firefighter with a Minky touch!
[18:11] Momo
    Burning firefighter, go!
[18:15] Spart
    For a first-rate reporter,
    decisiveness is crucial.
[18:20] Spart
    I won't let Abel get this scoop!
[18:28] Abel
    Follow me!
[18:31] Abel
    This way!
[18:33] Abel
    Get outside, quick!
[18:41] Abel
    Go on down! Stay calm!
[18:44] Momo
    You'll be okay! Just come down calmly!
[18:56] Abel
    Is anyone left?
[19:02] Abel
    Spart!
[19:05] Abel
    Hang in there!
[19:07] Spart
    Drat. I can't get a story like this!
[19:12] Man
    Is everyone out?
[19:14] Woman
    No, that young man...
[19:16] Chamo
    Yeah, Abel's not here!
[19:19] Momo
    Then he's still in there?
[19:45] Momo
    Abel!
[19:47] Momo
    Hey.
[19:49] Momo
    Thank goodness you're alive!
[19:50] Momo
    You too, Mr. Spart!
[19:52] Abel
    I'm clumsy, but I'm pretty athletic.
[19:57] Spart
    Abel. You got the better of me this time.
[20:01] Spart
    But next time, I'll beat you!
[20:15] Momo
    That was amazing! You'll get the
    Tulip Prize someday, for sure!
[20:19] Abel
    Thank you.
[20:20] Momo
    By the way, have we met?
[20:23] Momo
    O-Oh, of course not! It's nothing!
[20:26] Momo
    Well, I'll just be going!
[20:32] King
    It's good for a man to rise to the occasion.
[20:35] Queen
    Indeed.
[20:38] Queen
    You're always so light-hearted...
[20:45] Queen
    And quite silly...
[20:48] Queen
    But when I was attacked by a fearsome
    monster, you put yourself in harm's way for me!
[20:55] King
    Well, that's 'cause I was so
    scared I couldn't run away...
[20:59] Queen
    Is that true?
[21:02] King
    Y-Yes, well...
[21:03] King
    A man looks best when he's smiling!
[21:11] Momo
    Good morning, Papa.
[21:13] Papa
    Good morning, Momo.
[21:14] Papa
    Hey, look at this!
[21:16] Papa
    It's got Abel's account of events!
[21:19] Momo
    That woke me up!
[21:20] Momo
    Where is it?!
[21:23] Momo
    He did it!
SIGN    Very impressive!
[21:26] Chamo
    He's taken a step closer to his dream!
[21:29] Momo
    Yes, it's so nice!
[21:31] Lupi
    Momo, don't you have to
    return something to Abel?
[21:34] Momo
    Oh, right!
[21:36] Momo
    Mr. Abel!
[21:40] Momo
    Congratulations! Here, for you!
[21:44] Abel
    Thanks.
[21:45] Momo
    Abel.
[21:46] Momo
    That lady reporter said she
    had nothing left to teach you.
[21:50] Momo
    "Your decisiveness...
[21:52] Momo
    ...will get you the Tulip
    Prize someday for sure.
[21:55] Momo
    Give it your best!"
[21:57] Momo
    That's what she said.
[21:59] Abel
    Really?
[22:01] Momo
    So make sure you get that Tulip Prize, okay?
[22:05] Momo
    Thank you... for everything.
SIGN    You think Abel might...
[22:19] Momo
    Well, that's okay!
