[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.

    Momo's Hotel?!
[02:06] Momo
    "How Many Stars Has Momo's Hotel?!"
[02:10] Mama
    Dear, come quick! I need help!
[02:15] Mama
    Dear, it won't fit!
[02:19] Papa
    I know we're going on a trip, but
    it's just an academic conference...
[02:22] Mama
    But it's been years since we
    last took a trip together!
[02:26] Papa
    But will the Legend Inn be
    all right without you, dear?
[02:30] Mama
    That's right! I need a party dress as well!
[02:35] Momo
    Hey, don't you worry!
[02:36] Papa
    But looking after the guests isn't easy!
[02:41] Momo
    It'll be all right!
[02:43] Momo
    I'm my parents' daughter!
[02:45] Momo
    Looking after the guests
    will be a snap for me!
[02:49] Mama
    Yes, you are our daughter, Momo!
[02:52] Mama
    But there's just one thing
    you need to be careful to do.
[02:55] Mama
    What is it?
[02:57] Mama
    Make sure to keep this vase filled
    with beautiful flowers at all times.
[03:04] Momo
    Okay! Leave it to me, please!
[03:07] Papa
    All right, Momo! It's all up to you!
[03:10] Mama
    We'll be back later, Momo!
[03:13] Mama
    Have a good time!
[03:16] King
    Momo said it would be a snap, but
    running a hotel is hard work!
[03:22] Queen
    Momo is a very earnest girl!
[03:25] Queen
    As long as she puts her heart into it, I'm
    sure she'll be able to satisfy any guest!
[03:41] Simon
    Building. Decent surroundings.
[03:51] Simon
    Decently clean.
[03:54] Momo
    Yes, coming!
[03:58] Momo
    Welcome to the Legend Inn!
[04:00] Simon
    The hotel doesn't even anyone at the door?
[04:02] Momo
    I'm very sorry about that!
[04:05] Momo
    I was rather busy elsewhere, Mr. Simon.
[04:08] Simon
    How do you know my name?!
[04:11] Momo
    Well, Mr. Simon,
[04:12] Momo
    the moment I see a guest's face,
    I know exactly which guest it is!
[04:18] Momo
    That's the job of a hotelier, Mr. Simon.
[04:23] Momo
    Let me show you to your room!
[04:26] Momo
    Please, make yourself
    comfortable until dinner.
[04:31] Simon
    Decent greeting.
[04:40] Papa
    Dear! Dear!
[04:43] Mama
    What do you think of this dress, dear?
[04:45] Papa
    This is no time for dresses!
[04:47] Papa
    I ran into a reporter I know in the lobby,
[04:49] Papa
    and he told me something terrible!
[04:57] Momo
    It's okie-dokie! Just leave it to me!
[05:00] Momo
    Okay, bye!
SIGN    What did your father say?
[05:04] Momo
    He said a person called Morgan Michelin
    would be staying here, and to be careful.
[05:09] Momo
    Oh? You know them, Mr. Cookbook?
SIGN    Morgan Michelin is the world's most famous hotel critic!
SIGN    They use an alias to stay at hotels all around the world and give them star rankings!
SIGN    The highest is five stars! Terrible hotels get no stars!
SIGN    And the name has enough sway that hotels with no stars go broke in no time!
[05:33] Lupi
    What?!
[05:34] Lupi
    That
[05:35] Momo
    is
[05:36] Chamo
    awful!
[05:36] Momo
    Then we'd better give Morgan
    Michelin special treatment!
[05:41] Momo
    But there was no one on the weekend
    guest list named Morgan Michelin...
SIGN    They must be using an alias!
SIGN    Which means...
SIGN    There's no way to know who the real Morgan Michelin is!
[05:56] Momo
    Welcome to the Legend Inn!
[05:59] Man
    We'd like the same room we had
    on our honeymoon a year ago.
[06:04] Momo
    Yes, sir! Coming right up!
SIGN    One of the guests...
[06:11] Momo
    I'll show you to your room!
[06:12] Momo
    May I take your bag?
[06:14] Momo
    So heavy!
[06:19] Man
    Don't trouble yourself with me.
[06:25] Book
    One of today's guests...
[06:38] Lady
    Whisper, whisper, whisper...
[06:40] Momo
    Yes, you have a reservation?
[06:45] Book
    ...must be Morgan Michelin!
[06:48] Momo
    So busy, so busy!
[06:53] Momo
    I'm terribly sorry. We're all
    filled up with reservations!
[06:58] Man
    We're not guests. We're police.
[07:02] Man
    We believe an important
    witness is staying here...
[07:07] Man
    You know her? You do, don't you?!
[07:09] Momo
    I-I certainly don't!
[07:12] Man
    I think we'll have a look around!
[07:15] Momo
    No! No, no!
[07:16] Man
    You'd better not interfere
    in our investigation!
[07:19] Momo
    You'd better show me your police IDs, then!
[07:24] Man
    Forget her. Split up and search!
[07:26] Man
    Right!
[07:27] Momo
    No! No, no! You can't come in here!
[07:37] Man
    Y-You wanna fight, do you?
[07:39] Man
    I was the judo and karate
    champion in police school!
[07:52] Man
    H-He's the boxing champion, Joe Fraser!
[08:01] Momo
    Thanks, you saved me!
[08:04] Momo
    You're a boxing champion, then?
[08:11] Momo
    He's got that tormented air about him...
[08:14] Momo
    But hey, that's okay.
[08:20] Momo
    Mr. Neil Simon.
[08:22] Momo
    The Cronenbergs, David and Marie.
[08:25] Momo
    Mr. Joe Fraser.
[08:27] Momo
    Miss Meg Ryan.
[08:28] Momo
    That's all our guests.
SIGN    Neil Simon is suspicious!
SIGN    That fussy old gentleman, eh?
[08:36] Lupi
    Speaking of, he did seem to
    be complaining about a lot!
[08:41] Momo
    Hey, you guys!
[08:42] Momo
    What are you whispering about?
SIGN    We think that old gentleman might be Morgan Michelin!
[08:50] Momo
    That's okie-dokie!
[08:51] Momo
    I'm going to treat all my guests
    equally, with earnest hospitality!
[08:56] Momo
    That's how the Legend Inn does things.
[08:58] Momo
    If I just carry on as usual,
    I'll get five stars for sure!
[09:03] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[09:06] Momo

    Become a hotel cook with a Minky touch!
[09:39] Momo
    It's dinnertime!
[09:49] Momo
    Are you enjoying tonight's feast?
[09:53] David
    Yes.
[09:54] David
    The menu is the same as that night, too.
[09:57] Marie
    But it tastes better tonight...
[10:00] Marie
    I barely even tasted it last time.
[10:02] Marie
    I was so in love with you...
[10:03] Momo
    H-Hey...
[10:06] Momo
    Tonight's main dish is an Early
    American-style veal steak.
[10:10] Momo
    Would you like it cooked
    the same way as a year ago?
[10:12] David
    Yes, well done, please.
[10:22] Marie
    It's not like it was that night.
[10:24] David
    Right. There's no music.
[10:26] Momo
    No music?
[10:27] Momo
    Wait just a minute!
[10:30] Momo
    Honestly, guests can be so demanding!
[10:34] Momo
    Chant abridged! Become a pianist!
[10:46] Momo
    It's showtime!
[10:48] Momo
    The fun's just getting started!

SIGN    Despite what Momo said...
[11:03] Chamo
    We've got to at least serve
    complementary coffee!
[11:06] Lupi
    We need at least one star, after all!
[11:14] Simon
    Twenty seconds for the water to warm up.
[11:17] Simon
    Fine water pressure and all the amenities...
[11:21] Simon
    But it's lacking a bit of pizazz.
[11:26] Simon
    Who's there?!
[11:32] Simon
    A headless body?!
[11:59] David
    Marie. It's just like it
    was a year ago, isn't it?
[12:03] Marie
    It isn't. Our hearts aren't the same.
[12:06] David
    Can't we just start over again?
[12:09] Marie
    I think we should call it quits.
[12:17] Meg
    E-Excuse me...
[12:19] Meg
    Th-The steaks...
[12:20] Momo
    You can feel the stakes
    in my playing? Thanks.
[12:24] Momo
    Oh, not that? The steaks?
[12:30] Momo
    Oh, no!
[12:33] Momo
    A-one-and-a-two!
[12:39] Momo
    You wanted it well done, right?
[12:42] Momo
    Nah, that's just a joke.
SIGN    Momo!
SIGN    Momo! Emergency!
SIGN    Mr. Simon is...
[12:55] Simon
    The headless body...
[12:57] Simon
    Just a dream? A hallucination?
[13:00] Simon
    Is this hotel haunted?
[13:03] Momo
    Mr. Simon!
[13:11] Simon
    M-Murderer...
[13:15] Momo
    This might be kinda bad...
[13:21] Simon
    Th-The headless body! The murderer!
[13:25] Momo
    I think you've been hallucinating.
[13:28] Momo
    You're okay now, Mr. Simon.
[13:30] Momo
    Wh-Who are you?
[13:32] Momo
    I'm the hotel nurse.
[13:36] Simon
    Now an earthquake?!
[14:05] (Flashback) Man
    It's not good. Call an ambulance.
[14:07] (Flashback) Man
    An ambulance!
[14:12] Momo
    Are you not feeling well?
[14:16] Momo
    Champion.
[14:17] Joe
    I'm not a champion anymore.
[14:19] Joe
    I'm done as a boxer.
[14:21] Momo
    But why? So many people
    cheer you on in your fights.
[14:26] Joe
    No one can beat me anymore.
[14:29] Joe
    That's why I'm quitting.
[14:33] Momo
    Is that so? I happen to
    know a tough challenger.
[14:37] Joe
    What?
[14:38] Momo
    Just wait! I'll bring her here!
[14:44] Momo
    So much to do!
[14:45] Chamo
    Wait a minute, Momo...
SIGN    That's too far!
SIGN    He's a genuine world champion!
[14:52] Momo
    If a guest needs something, a true
    hotelier makes sure they get it!
[14:57] Chamo
    But...
[14:58] Momo
    It's all good!
[15:02] Momo
    I'm here!
[15:05] Momo
    Your ultimate sparring partner!
[15:09] Joe
    Don't be ridiculous. I can't fight a woman.
[15:11] Momo
    No problem. Not one of your
    punches will even graze me!
[15:18] Momo
    Here I come, then!
[15:28] Momo
    Yes!
[15:36] Momo
    A hotelier puts their life
    on the line for service!
[15:53] Joe
    I just can't do it...
[15:55] Momo
    But why? If you'd hit me, I'd
    have been down for the count!
[16:00] Joe
    I'm frightened.
[16:02] Joe
    My punches are too powerful. They
    send everyone to the hospital.
[16:12] Joe
    I can't be a boxer if I can't
    hit people in the face!
[16:19] Momo
    Joe...
[16:24] Momo
    Wait, you!
[16:28] Momo
    Wait, you!
[16:30] Meg
    No, no, no!
[16:39] Meg
    Help me!
[16:44] Momo
    You guys need to knock it off!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[16:47] Man
    You shut up!
[16:48] Man
    You won't stop us this time.
[16:50] Momo
    Oh, no!
[16:57] David
    R-Rubber bullets?
[17:03] Momo
    Yeah! That's being a man!
[17:24] Lupi
    Her mother's vase!
SIGN    Nice catch!
SIGN    I think I saved it...
[17:39] Momo
    Uppercut!
[17:46] Marie
    David!
[17:48] David
    Marie!
[18:00] Marie
    David?
[18:01] Marie
    David!
[18:03] David
    Am I in heaven?
[18:06] Marie
    Get a grip. What are you saying?
[18:09] David
    I see an angel, after all.
[18:14] Marie
    You fool. A real angel would have wings!
[18:22] Simon
    Outrageous. In what's supposed
    to be a restful hotel...
[18:42] Simon
    That girl...
[18:47] Man
    S-Stay back!
[18:56] Trio
    He did it!
[19:03] Momo
    Nice one! A KO punch from the champion!
[19:09] Momo
    Hey! What are you doing?
[19:15] Meg
    You didn't have to go that far!
[19:17] Momo
    But they were trying to kidnap you!
[19:21] Meg
    This man is my manager!
[19:24] Momo
    What? What's going on here?
SIGN    We never found out which of the five was Mr. Michelin.
[19:37] Chamo
    But whoever it was...
[19:39] Lupi
    ...there's no way we're getting any stars.
[19:45] Man
    Let us now determine the
    stars for the Legend Inn.
[19:48] Man
    Morgan Michelin, if you please.
[19:59] Simon
    I was looking for a quiet, restful,
    attentive hotel where I could get work done.
[20:05] Simon
    The Legend Inn wasn't quiet at all,
[20:09] Simon
    but it did spark the creativity of
    a neurotic, aging author in a slump.
[20:16] Man
    All right. The next Morgan Michelin.
[20:22] Meg
    An overworked actress unable to even
    speak ran away from her manager,
[20:27] Meg
    expecting to quit...
[20:29] Meg
    but she met an amazing
    playwright at that hotel!
[20:33] Meg
    It's reignited my passion as an actress!
[20:37] Simon
    A magnificent story played out at
    the Legend Inn, starring Meg Ryan.
[20:44] Man
    Now, the next Morgan Michelin.
[20:48] David
    Our marriage was suffering.
[20:51] David
    I thought we'd spend one last night
    at the Legend Inn, and then break up.
[20:55] David
    But there, I found an angel!
[20:58] Marie
    I found an angel, too.
[21:00] Marie
    One without wings, of course...
[21:05] Man
    Now, the final Morgan Michelin.
[21:08] Joe
    I found an angel, too.
[21:10] Joe
    A cheerful angel that reignited my
    desire to become world champion.
[21:19] Man
    That's everyone.
[21:21] Man
    There is no hotel critic
    named Morgan Michelin.
[21:26] Man
    These five people our company found through
    an investigation are all Morgan Michelin.
[21:31] Man
    It was these five this time,
[21:33] Man
    but the next time, we'll hire five
    different ones to investigate.
[21:37] Man
    That's the most fair way to do it.
[21:40] King
    That's so great!
[21:41] King
    Momo really did it!
[21:44] Queen
    Yes, I just knew she would.
[21:47] King
    I'd love to go to that hotel
    for another honeymoon!
[21:51] Queen
    Oh?
[21:52] King
    With you, of course... don't be silly...
[21:55] Queen
    That might be a nice idea!
[22:02] Papa
    We did it, dear!
[22:05] Papa
    Morgan Michelin very rarely
    gives out five stars, Momo!
[22:10] Mama
    I told you she could do it!
[22:13] Papa
    You did a great job, Momo.
[22:15] Momo
    Right? Right?
[22:18] Lupi
    That was the strongest glue they had...
