[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.
[01:54] 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    I Wanna Be a Witch
[02:06] Momo
    "I Wanna Be a Witch!"
[02:13] Mama
    The incident happened out of the blue.
[02:16] Mama
    Yes, completely of the blue!
[02:18] Mama
    It began with the caw of a crow.
[02:22] Mama
    Truly, the call of a crow is frightening!
[02:24] Mama
    And you can't see crows
    very well in the dark.
[02:28] Mama
    Something you can't see is coming!
[02:30] Mama
    Things you can't see are very scary!
[02:35] Momo
    Mama!
[02:37] Momo
    What's wrong?
[02:38] Mama
    Something hit the window!
[02:46] Mama
    You're...
[02:51] Mama
    Joe! Are you all right?
[02:53] Chamo
    Nothing can hurt this guy.
[02:55] Chamo
    He's Brenda's companion, remember?
SIGN    Yeah, that girl was really something else!
[03:10] Lupi
    She certainly was intimidating.
[03:13] Lupi
    But what's Joe doing at
    our house without her?
[03:19] Joe
    Momo! Help! Brenda's in trouble!
[03:23] Momo
    Trouble? Sounds like trouble!
SIGN    Where exactly are we going in such a hurry?
[03:38] Momo
    Um...
[03:41] Momo
    Not sure.
[03:43] Lupi
    You took off without knowing
    where you're going?
[03:46] Joe
    She's in Wheredaheckizzat City.
[03:47] Joe
    You flew all that way?!
SIGN    This really is sounding like trouble!
[03:53] King
    Oh, this is trouble, trouble, trouble!
[03:55] King
    Excuse me, I'll have a double!
[03:57] King
    Bubble, bubble!
[03:58] Queen
    Darling, please calm down, would you?
[04:01] King
    Oh, ow!
[04:02] King
    I guess I'm calm now.
[04:05] Queen
    Brenda is Momo's witch friend, I believe.
[04:08] Queen
    She'd gone off in search of other witches!
[04:12] King
    That's right, the girl who
    could use a bit of magic!
[04:16] Queen
    I wonder what could have happened to her...
[04:22] Joe
    Over there! There!
[04:32] Joe
    Brenda! I'm back!
[04:36] Joe
    Hah, you missed me!
[04:47] Lupi
    Spoiling my beauty!
[04:51] Lupi
    Still, it's tasty!
[04:53] Momo
    Brenda...
[04:59] Joe
    Momo, help! Please, stop Brenda!
[05:02] Momo
    No need to tell me!
[05:04] Momo
    Brenda! Brenda! Please, calm down!
[05:19] Momo
    Momo!
[05:20] Momo
    What do I do? I'm done for!
[05:27] Momo
    What?!
[05:28] Momo
    You lost your magic stick?!
[05:30] Brenda
    Yes. I looked away for just a second
    after the show and it vanished!
SIGN    You're sure you didn't leave it somewhere?
[05:38] Brenda
    Of course not!
SIGN    R-Right...
[05:41] Chamo
    A hysterical woman is a terrible thing!
[05:43] Brenda
    What was that?!
[05:45] Brenda
    Calm down!
[05:47] Brenda
    As crabby as ever.
SIGN    Yep...
[05:52] Momo
    So, where's your grandma now?
[05:55] Brenda
    There's a hot spring in a neighboring
    town they say is good for back pain...
[06:03] Brenda
    That stick was a precious item handed
    down through my family for generations!
[06:08] Brenda
    If Grandma finds out, it's
    gonna throw her back out!
[06:12] Brenda
    And...
[06:13] Momo
    And...?
[06:14] Brenda
    I can't do my magic show without that stick!
[06:18] Brenda
    Think of the losses from just one off day!
[06:21] All
    Ack!
SIGN    I smell an unfamiliar scent.
SIGN    So it was stolen!
[06:30] Lupi
    There's a thief, then? How scary!
[06:33] Joe
    Well, finding the culprit comes first!
SIGN    Here it is! The trail leads here!
SIGN    Then this is the thieves' hideout?!
SIGN    They're gonna pay for stealing my stick!
[06:49] Momo
    Hey, wait!
[06:51] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun!
[06:55] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Doll, come alive!
[07:03] Mary
    Why won't she move?
[07:07] Brenda
    I found you!
[07:08] Brenda
    That's my stick!
[07:10] Brenda
    Give it back!
[07:11] Mary
    No!
[07:12] Brenda
    What was that?!
[07:15] Momo
    Now, now.
[07:16] Momo
    Hey, it's not nice to take
    other people's things.
[07:20] Momo
    And Brenda really needs it back!
[07:23] Momo
    Please, give it back!
[07:25] Mary
    No way!
[07:26] Joe
    What a spoiled brat!
[07:28] Momo
    Don't be like that. Please?
[07:30] Mary
    No!
[07:31] Momo
    Please, just—
[07:32] Mary
    No!
SIGN    This is getting nowhere.
[07:35] Chamo
    You said it.
[07:36] Chamo
    Momo, keep trying!
[07:38] Brenda
    Shut up!
[07:46] Brenda
    Why do you want my stick that badly?
[07:48] Mary
    I thought it would let me cast spells!
[07:51] Mary
    You're a witch, right?
[07:53] Brenda
    N-No, I'm just an illusionist...
[07:56] Mary
    Are not! I saw you!
[08:04] Brenda
    Th-That was really just
    a show! Not real magic!
[08:08] Mary
    It was real magic! So
    please, make me a witch!
[08:13] Mary
    If you make me a witch,
    I'll give your stick back!
[08:16] Brenda
    What do we do, Momo?
[08:19] Dad
    I'm back, Mary!
[08:21] Dad
    Oh? Friends of yours?
[08:23] Mary
    Papa!
[08:24] Mary
    Papa, she's a real witch!
[08:27] Brenda
    Hey, there!
[08:28] Momo
    Sorry to intrude...
[08:33] Dad
    I'm sorry about all the trouble Mary caused.
[08:36] Momo
    N-Not at all...
[08:39] Dad
    Hold on just a minute.
[08:41] Dad
    I'll make us some tea.
[08:43] Momo
    There's really no need—
[08:47] Lupi
    What do we do?
[08:50] Brenda
    What in the world are we doing here?
[08:52] Momo
    Hey, it's okay.
[08:53] Momo
    We found the stick, and
    became friends with Mary—
[08:59] Mary
    Papa!
[09:01] Dad
    I-I'm fine.
[09:03] Dad
    I'm making some nice tea
    for everyone right now!
[09:07] Mary
    Papa's never even made tea before.
[09:10] Mary
    If only Mama were here...
[09:11] Momo
    Where's your mama?
[09:13] Mary
    She had a fight with Papa and left.
[09:16] Mary
    Papa wants her to come back, too...
[09:24] Mary
    Please, Miss Witch! Make me a witch!
[09:27] Mary
    Then I can use magic to find Mama!
[09:30] Mary
    I dunno...
[09:32] Momo
    Brenda, why don't we teach her?
[09:35] Brenda
    I'll try, but she can't use
    magic without the innate talent!
[09:40] Momo
    Oh? You don't know that.
[09:43] Momo
    Everyone has a mysterious power inside them!
[09:45] Momo
    With enough belief, I think she'll
    be able to use magic just fine!
[09:49] Mary
    Are you a witch too?
[09:51] Momo
    Well, not quite... but
    something like it, I guess!
[09:57] Mary
    That's great!
[09:59] Momo
    Hey, Brenda, why not just teach her?
[10:02] Brenda
    If you insist...
[10:06] Brenda
    Given your special circumstances,
    I'll give you classes at a discount!
[10:11] Momo
    Sheesh, she hasn't changed a bit!

    Magic crystal ball that only shows truth!
[10:30] Brenda
    Reveal to me that which I seek!
[10:35] All
    Hey, it's showing something!
[10:36] All
    Awesome!
[10:37] All
    Let me see!
[10:39] All
    Don't hog it!
[10:47] Brenda
    I told you to keep quiet!
[10:49] Momo
    Very sorry.
[10:51] Momo
    But the city shown in the crystal ball...
[10:54] Momo
    That must be where Mary's mom is!
[10:57] Mary
    Wow! If I become a witch,
    can I do this stuff too?!
[11:01] Brenda
    Of course! So let's teach
    you the basics first.
[11:05] Brenda
    But becoming a witch means going
    through grueling training!
[11:09] Brenda
    Yes, Teacher!
[11:11] Momo
    She's really getting into it.
[11:15] Brenda
    We'll start with a spell
    to make flowers grow!
[11:20] Brenda
    Pipirun! Paparun! Flowers, bloom!
[11:31] Brenda
    Wow! Can I do that too?
[11:33] Brenda
    Of course!
[11:34] Brenda
    Here, take it!
[11:38] Mary
    Thank you!
[11:40] Brenda
    I made it for you. It should work just fine!
[11:43] Mary
    Okay!
[11:45] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Flowers, bloom!
[11:54] Mary
    Okay...
[11:55] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Flowers, bloom!
[12:00] Momo
    My heart is pounding!
[12:02] Brenda
    I think Mary might just become a real witch!
[12:06] Brenda
    After all, back in the day,
    anyone could use magic!
[12:10] Momo
    Yeah, back when there were
    dreamlands all over the world,
[12:10] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Flowers, bloom!
[12:13] Momo
    mysterious things were the norm!
[12:16] Momo
    I don't think that power's
    all gone yet. I believe it!
[12:21] Brenda
    Right. We've got a witch
    right here, after all!
SIGN    But Momo, she's never gonna find her mother at this rate...
[12:30] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Flowers, bloom!
[12:41] Mary
    Teacher! It's not working!
[12:43] Momo
    Oh, dear. You can't say no
    to a sad or angry child.
[12:47] Momo
    In that case...
[12:49] Momo
    Momo!
[12:50] Momo
    I'm gonna try my magic!
[12:55] Joe
    C'mon, don't cry!
[13:01] Joe
    Hey, the sad child is smiling again!
[13:05] Brenda
    Momo?
[13:09] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[13:12] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[13:15] Momo
    Become a policewoman with a Minky touch!
[13:45] Momo
    How do I look?
[13:46] Chamo
    Awesome!
[13:47] Momo
    It's the police's job to find missing people.
[13:49] Momo
    Let's go, animal friends!
[13:54] Momo
    Have you seen this woman?
[13:57] Woman
    I'm afraid not.
[13:59] Man
    No clue.
[14:00] Man
    Never seen her.
[14:14] Lupi
    It's no use. Not a single clue!
SIGN    It's not that easy to find someone!
[14:19] Momo
    I'll never give up.
[14:21] Momo
    Mary's working her hardest, after all!
[14:27] Man
    No one's watching. I can just take it!
[14:31] Man
    Hey! P-Police?
[14:33] Momo
    Hey, have you seen this—
[14:36] Man
    I'm sorry. I swear I didn't mean it.
[14:38] Man
    From now on, I'll always report
    lost property to the police!
SIGN    Looks like he got the wrong idea.
[14:48] Police
    Thanks for your hard work.
[14:52] Momo
    Oh, right.
[14:52] Momo
    Excuse me, I have a question.
[14:55] Momo
    Have you seen this woman?
[14:56] Police
    Oh, that woman?
[14:58] Police
    I think she just moved
    into that apartment there.
[15:04] Momo
    She's here!
[15:05] Chamo
    We should've just asked at the station first!
[15:08] Momo
    Guess so.
[15:14] Momo
    That's odd. They're out?
[15:16] Woman
    Oh, she went out just a minute ago.
[15:19] Woman
    Oh? Where'd she go?
[15:21] Woman
    She said she was going home to the
    country, so maybe the station?
[15:25] Momo
    Oh, no!
[15:30] Momo
    Cookbook, Chamo, you go to the station!
[15:32] Momo
    Lupipi, you tell Brenda about this!
[15:34] Lupi
    What will you do?!
[15:35] Momo
    I'm gonna fetch Mary's father!
[15:38] Trio
    Right!
[15:43] Momo
    I'm borrowing this! It's an emergency!
[15:46] Woman
    Y-Yes, of course...
[15:53] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun!
SIGN    She doesn't give up, does she?
[15:56] Brenda
    Why not take a break!
[15:57] Mary
    No! I've gotta become a witch like you, fast!
[16:01] Brenda
    To find your mother?
[16:03] Brenda
    Momo's already looking for her.
[16:05] Mary
    No, I've wanted to be a witch since forever!
[16:08] Mary
    Everyone says witches aren't
    real, but I believe they are!
[16:13] Mary
    Mary...
[16:14] Lupi
    Emergency!
[16:17] Brenda
    Lupipi!
[16:18] Lupi
    Mary's mother is...
[16:22] Joe
    Hey, hey, Brenda...
[16:24] Joe
    You're not gonna ride your
    broom there, are you?
[16:26] Joe
    You can only fly for three minutes!
[16:28] Brenda
    It's the only way I'll make it!
[16:30] Brenda
    With enough belief, I can do it...
[16:31] Brenda
    I'm sure of it!
[16:39] Joe
    Stay calm, Brenda!
[16:51] Mary
    We're flying! You're awesome, Teacher!
[16:54] Brenda
    Here we go! Hold on tight!
[16:56] Brenda
    Right!
[17:04] Mom
    I suppose this is goodbye to this city.
[17:07] Mom
    I'm sorry, Mary.
[17:08] Mom
    Your mother's going off on her own.
[17:11] Chamo
    We found her!
SIGN    Oh, no! We've got to stop her!
[17:15] Mom
    I didn't even leave the neighborhood,
    but he didn't look for me.
[17:19] Mom
    He doesn't love me anymore.
[17:22] Mom
    I'm going to move into the country
    and live the lonely life of a hermit!
[17:30] Mom
    Oh? My bag...
[17:33] Chamo
    Come and get it!
[17:35] Momo
    Open up! Open up! Open up now!
[17:37] Dad
    Right, right... coming!
[17:46] Dad
    Did I do something wrong?
[17:48] Momo
    I'll explain later!
[17:50] Mom
    Come back here, you!
[17:52] Chamo
    No way!
[17:57] Chamo
    A train's coming!
[18:00] Mom
    Got it!
SIGN    Darn it!
[18:06] Joe
    See? You're out of time!
[18:08] Joe
    You're over the weight limit, too!
[18:11] Brenda
    Hang in there, darn it!
[18:12] Mary
    Teacher!
[18:13] Brenda
    Believe in me! I'll make sure
    you see your mother again!
[18:20] Mom
    No more mischief, now.
SIGN    The worst possible situation! Total despair!
[18:32] Momo
    C'mon, get in!
[18:33] Both
    Momo!
[18:48] Brenda
    That's it!
[18:49] Mary
    Mama!
[18:50] Brenda
    Let's go!
[18:54] Mary
    Mama!
[18:57] Mary
    Mama!

    Mama!
[19:03] Momo
    Mary!
[19:05] Dad
    Hey!
[19:07] Joe
    Brenda! What are you doing?
[19:09] Brenda
    This!
[19:10] Brenda
    Pipirun! Paparun!
[19:29] Mary
    Teacher!
[19:30] Brenda
    Yeah... it's too heavy!
[19:32] Chamo
    We've gotta stop the train, Momo!
[19:34] Momo
    Okay!
SIGN    What now, Momo?
[19:48] Momo
    If I aim for that part...
SIGN    What a reckless thing to do!
[20:05] Brenda
    Now!
[20:07] Brenda
    Pipirun! Paparun!
[20:27] Mary
    Mama!
[20:28] Mom
    Mary!
[20:28] Mary
    Mama!
[20:44] Chamo
    Isn't that nice?
[20:45] Momo
    Yeah!
[20:51] Momo
    Oh, dear!
[20:52] Momo
    We caused a lot of trouble!
[20:54] Brenda
    All right, ladies and gentlemen!
[20:56] Brenda
    We're currently holding a magic
    show in Wheredaheckizzat City.
[21:01] Brenda
    That was just a sample of my tricks!
[21:03] Brenda
    Awesome, right?
[21:05] Brenda
    Make sure you come to watch us, now!
[21:07] Crowd
    Wow! Amazing!
[21:15] Brenda
    She's something else!
SIGN    An enterprising spirit like no other!
[21:21] King
    It's all good, it's all good!
[21:22] King
    A happy ending!
[21:23] Queen
    Do you think Marinarsa will
    ever return to the surface
[21:27] Queen
    so we can live with Momo once more?
[21:30] King
    I bet so! Like Momo says, all
    who believe will be saved!
[21:39] Brenda
    Thank you, Momo.
[21:40] Momo
    Contact me if anything else comes up.
[21:42] Brenda
    Sure!
[21:43] Brenda
    It's a shame, though.
[21:44] Brenda
    After all my instructing, Mary
    never made it to witchhood.
SIGN    Well, it's probably not possible for a normal human.
[21:53] Momo
    I dunno about that.
[21:55] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun!
[21:58] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Bloom, flowers!
[22:02] Mary
    Pipirun! Paparun! Bloom, flowers!
[22:08] Mary
    I'm gonna become a great
    witch like them someday!
[22:12] Mom
    Mary! Snack time!
[22:14] Mary

    dreams is out there everywhere!

    Even where you are!
