[01:37] Narrator
    Long, long ago...
[01:38] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:44] Narrator
    In a universe over there, in an Earth
    over there, in a city over there,
[01:48] 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    Always There, Somewhere
[02:07] Momo
    "Always There, Somewhere."
[02:14] Momo
    Bye, Mama! I'm heading out now!
[02:16] Mama
    Thanks, Momo!
[02:18] Momo
    Sure thing!
[02:20] Momo
    You might think it's one crazy
    thing after another in this town,
[02:27] Momo
    but you'd be badly mistaken!
[02:30] Momo
    Most of the people in this
    city live their days happily,
[02:33] Momo
    without having any part
    of those crazy events.
[02:40] Momo
    I especially love the street along the park.
[02:43] Momo
    It's a lovely place where all
    those happy people gather.
[02:48] Momo
    Morning.
[02:49] Momo
    Morning.
[02:51] Momo
    Have a good day.
[02:52] Momo
    Morning, Bob.
[02:54] Bob
    Hey, Tess. Looking especially lovely today.
[02:57] Tess
    Thanks, Bob.
[02:59] Bob
    Don't break too many hearts, now!
[03:01] Momo
    Mister!
[03:04] Bob
    Morning, Momo.
[03:05] Momo
    Morning, Mr. Bob. Do you still
    have any of Mama's newspaper?
[03:08] Bob
    Yeah, I saved the last one for her.
[03:11] Momo
    Here.
[03:13] Bob
    But why does a classy person like
    your mother read these gossip rags?
[03:18] Momo
    She says she uses it to get story ideas!
[03:23] Bob
    What's your problem?
[03:28] Man
    Mister, you carry the Evening Star?
[03:30] Bob
    No, we don't carry the Evening Star.
[03:33] Man
    What? Why not?
[03:34] Bob
    We only keep decent papers here.
[03:37] Bob
    Decent?
[03:39] Bob
    Well, let's go.
[03:40] Robert
    Hey, I heard that one!
[03:44] Bob
    Robert!
[03:46] Robert
    What's not decent about
    my paper, you old fart?!
[03:49] Bob
    You... You were you watching me?!
[03:52] Robert
    Have you ever read our newspaper, Dad?!
[03:54] Robert
    Have you?!
[03:55] Robert
    Answer me, Dad!
[03:58] Bob
    I'd never read your lousy rag!
[04:00] Robert
    I thought so! You irresponsible old man!
[04:03] Momo
    He called him "Dad."
[04:04] Momo
    So it's a domestic quarrel.
SIGN    Looks like.
[04:07] Chamo
    Sounds fun! Go! Fight!
[04:10] Robert
    My newspaper is 100% decent and above-board!
[04:15] Bob
    Don't make me laugh! I've never
    seen anything more indecent!
[04:17] Robert
    If my newspaper isn't
    decent, what newspaper is?!
[04:22] Robert
    No newspaper! Am I right?!
[04:23] Bob
    Shut up!
[04:24] Bob
    My stand will never carry the Evening
    Star
as long as I'm breathing!
[04:29] Robert
    Now I'm angry!
[04:32] Bob
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[04:38] Harry
    Stop that! Knock it off!
[04:40] Harry
    I will arrest you, even
    for domestic quarrels!
[04:42] Bob
    Stay out of this, Harry!
[04:43] Robert
    This is why you'll never
    be more than a beat cop!
[04:46] Harry
    What was that? Now I'm mad!
[04:49] Harry
    Take that back!
[04:58] Momo
    Hey, wait!
[05:00] Harry
    This isn't a show! Break it up already!
[05:11] Momo
    A puppy!
[05:18] Harry
    Think about your age already, man.
[05:20] Bob
    Butt out.
[05:22] Harry
    Honestly...
[05:24] Bob
    What's with the puppy?
[05:26] Momo
    It got abandoned.
[05:27] Momo
    A boy just left it behind the stand.
[05:30] Bob
    Let me see.
[05:31] Bob
    Hey, he's quite a cutie.
[05:34] Bob
    Would you like to come
    home with me, little one?
[05:37] Bob
    There, there.
[05:39] Bob
    Momo, do you mind if I adopt him?
[05:43] Momo
    You?
[05:44] Bob
    Yeah, I'm all alone anyway.
[05:46] Bob
    This'll give me someone to talk to.
[05:49] Momo
    Take care of him, then!
[05:51] Bob
    I promise I will!
[05:56] Momo
    Mr. Bob's son runs a newspaper?
[06:00] Mama
    Yes.
[06:01] Mama
    The Evening Star is the most
    popular newspaper in the city.
[06:05] Papa
    They were fighting again?
[06:06] Momo
    "Again"? Do they fight a lot?
[06:08] Mama
    Lots of people have tried to
    mediate, but it's never worked out!
[06:13] Papa
    Yeah, when a family fights for that long,
[06:17] Papa
    that's proof of how much
    they love each other!
[06:19] Mama
    True.
[06:20] Momo
    Twenty years...
[06:27] Ann
    It's the do-or-die moment in this game!
[06:30] Ann
    Bottom of the 9th with the Tigers up to bat.
[06:32] Ann
    Two outs with runners on the corners.
[06:34] Bob
    Yes! Get it done!
[06:34] Ann
    If he can hit a long ball,
    they'll walk this off.
[06:36] Ann
    Here's the stretch, and the pitch!
[06:39] Ann
    A hit to third! It's a
    five-four-three double play!
[06:43] Ann
    This game is over!
[06:44] Bob
    What are they thinking?
[06:46] Bob
    What a pathetic team!
[06:51] Bob
    All done, eh?
[06:54] Bob
    No, there's still half of it left.
[06:56] Bob
    Go on, eat up!
[07:00] Bob
    You've got a pretty small appetite, eh?
[07:02] Bob
    What's the matter.
[07:12] Harry
    Hey, it's that puppy again.
[07:15] Harry
    Isn't he cute?
[07:17] Bob
    I decided to name him Harry, after you.
[07:20] Bob
    You two get along, all right?
[07:22] Harry
    Don't do that, old man!
[07:24] Bob
    Still, Harry always leaves half
    his food behind. I wonder why.
[07:29] Harry
    It's gotta be that he doesn't like the food.
[07:31] Harry
    Poor little guy.
[07:33] Bob
    You think?
[07:34] Momo
    Hello!
[07:36] Momo
    Hey, Momo.
[07:37] Momo
    Hello, Pup!
[07:42] Bob
    Hey, can I ask a question?
[07:43] Bob
    When you found this puppy, was
    there another one with him?
[07:52] Bob
    I thought so!
[07:54] Momo
    So he's always leaving half of
    his food for the other puppy?
[08:00] Bob
    Most likely.
[08:01] Bob
    No matter how much or how little I
    give him, he always eats exactly half!
[08:06] Bob
    I'm sure the two puppies always
    ate from the same dish.
[08:10] Lupi
    Oh, you're wonderful!
[08:15] Bob
    Hey, Momo.
[08:16] Bob
    I think we have to show him that the other
    puppy isn't starving and set him at ease.
[08:23] Momo
    I guess...
[08:25] Momo
    I'll look for him!
[08:27] Bob
    You'll help me? Thanks, Momo.
[08:31] King
    Good, puppy! Nice, puppy! What a brave puppy!
[08:34] Queen
    Yes, unlike some gluttons...
    er, some people I know,
[08:38] Queen
    who can't even stop at their own share.
[08:40] King
    Dee-da!
[08:42] King
    But where'd the other puppy go?
[08:45] King
    I hope Momo and the others
    can find him, but...
[08:49] King
    Yeah...
[09:09] Momo
    Wait a minute!
[09:11] Momo
    S-Sorry. Mistaken identity.
[09:15] Lupi
    There's no way we'll find him, Momo!
[09:18] Momo
    But he has to be somewhere in the city!
[09:22] Lupi
    Let's ask Policeman Harry
    to put up wanted posters!
[09:27] Momo
    The police? Hey, great idea!
[09:30] Lupi
    Wait, Momo! I was joking
    about the wanted posters!
[09:39] Lupi
    A police dog?!
[09:40] Lupi
    Yes, we can have a police dog track
    a dog with the same scent as Bob's!
SIGN    Good idea!
[09:45] Chamo
    But will the police let
    you borrow a police dog?
[09:49] Momo
    We already have a police dog! Right here!
[09:53] Both
    Where? Where?
SIGN    Wait, you mean me?
[09:58] All
    Not happening!
SIGN    Hey, we all agree for once!
[10:02] Momo
    No problem! You've got a
    top-rate trainer right here!
[10:08] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[10:11] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[10:14] Momo
    Become a police dog trainer
    with a Minky touch!
[10:42] Momo
    Okay, Cookbook. Let's start training!
SIGN    Momo, are you really, truly serious?!
[10:49] Momo
    Of course I'm really, truly serious!
[10:51] Momo
    The only one here with actual
    dog potential, Cookbook, is you!
SIGN    It's true that I'm a dog, but I'm just a normal dog.
SIGN    I can't do it.
SIGN    Right, guys?
SIGN    What are you doing?!
[11:04] Chamo
    Time to buckle down and do it!
[11:06] Lupi
    Be a man! Do it!
SIGN    You traitors!
[11:13] Momo
    Now, jump over this wall!
[11:20] Momo
    You'll be okay! Just believe in yourself!
SIGN    I believe in myself, I just don't wanna do it!
SIGN    Go!
[11:37] Both
    Cinderella, dressed in yella...
[11:43] Both
    So heavy...
[12:08] Both
    Cookbook!
[12:10] Both
    You did it!
[12:13] Both
    Look at you!
SIGN    I can't believe it myself!
[12:23] Lupi
    Impressive! This is the same Cookbook?!
[12:26] Chamo
    Though he looks more like a street
    sweeper than a police dog.
[12:30] Momo
    Looks like he's caught the scent.
SIGN    One hot dog, please!
[12:49] Trio
    Argh!

    I've never run all around town like that!
[13:06] Chamo
    You think the puppy's really not in the city?
[13:09] Momo
    Hey, we've only just gotten started!
SIGN    Hey, my sniffer's sniffing again!
[13:14] Lupi
    Haven't we done enough for today?
SIGN    Well, I can't tell my nose what to do...
[13:28] Momo
    It's him!
[13:29] Momo
    Yes!
[13:30] Lupi
    Cookbook, you did it!
SIGN    Did I, really?
[13:34] Robert
    Michael! Michael!
[13:36] Lupi
    Hey, it's the man who fought with Bob!
[13:40] Lupi
    It is!
[13:41] Lupi
    You mean he's...
[13:43] Michael
    Papa!
[13:44] Robert
    It's time for dinner, Michael.
[13:46] All
    His father?!
[13:49] Bob
    Oh? So the boy who left
    the puppy was my grandson?
[13:54] Bob
    But why?
[13:56] Momo
    He said he wanted you to have one too.
[13:59] Bob
    He wanted me to have the puppy?
[14:00] Momo
    And he says the other puppy always
    leaves half its food, too.
[14:05] Bob
    What should I do, then?
[14:23] Chamo
    They ate it all!
SIGN    Good grief.
[14:25] Chamo
    That's a relief, huh?
[14:27] Michael
    Thank goodness!
[14:29] Michael
    Thanks, miss!
[14:30] Momo
    I'm just glad it worked out!
[14:36] Bob
    Well, I'll be going now.
[14:38] Robert
    Wait. Let me make you some tea.
[14:41] Bob
    I didn't come here to talk to you.
[14:43] Robert
    But...
[14:45] Robert
    Dad, I'm just making a newspaper
    based on what I believe in.
[14:51] Bob
    What you believe in?!
[14:52] Bob
    And what you "believe in"
[14:54] Bob
    is a newspaper that always makes
    the Overthere Lions its top story?!
[14:59] Robert
    Why do you have to put it that way?!
[15:02] Bob
    However I put it, it's the truth!
[15:05] Bob
    I won't accept any paper that only writes
    puff pieces about the Overthere Lions!
[15:10] Bob
    And for it to be headed up
    by my son of all people...
[15:15] Robert
    There you go again!
[15:16] Robert
    Then I'll give it right back to you...
[15:18] Robert
    You, who continue to root for that perpetual
    bottom-of-the-barrel team the Tigers,
[15:23] Robert
    are a modern-day fossil!
[15:24] Robert
    You're not even a tiger! You're a tortoise!
[15:26] Bob
    What was that?!
[15:27] Bob
    Don't forget what happened to the
    hare that laughed at the tortoise!
[15:30] Robert
    I'm not a rabbit! The lion
    is the lord of the jungle!
[15:33] Bob
    And you can't spell "tortoise"
    without "sire"! A true king!
[15:36] Robert
    Get out of your shell and acknowledge
    that the Lions are invincible!
[15:46] Bob
    I'm leaving!
[15:55] Momo
    I'm kind of impressed they can keep fighting
    over something that silly for twenty years.
[15:59] Michael
    It runs in the family.
[16:02] Michael
    Fighting with our fathers runs
    in our family. Everyone says so.
[16:05] Michael
    And since I inherited their
    genes, then sooner or later...
[16:12] Michael
    What will I do?!
[16:13] Chamo
    Silly. There's no gene for family feuding!
SIGN    But it's clearly a serious issue for Michael.
[16:19] Lupi
    I totally understand!
[16:21] Michael
    I'm gonna run away!
[16:23] Momo
    Run away?
[16:24] Michael
    Yeah, I'm emancipating myself before
    I inherit their awful traits!
SIGN    That's a great idea!
SIGN    If a puppy won't do it, the child runs away from home!
SIGN    It'll work for sure!
[16:34] Momo
    I'm rooting for you!
[16:36] Chamo
    But how are you gonna do it?
[16:37] Chamo
    Running away from home isn't easy!
[16:40] Momo
    It'll be okie-dokie.
[16:41] Momo
    I know a mover who will take on any job!
[16:45] Momo
    We'll do it when your
    parents aren't home. Okay?
[16:47] Michael
    For real?!
[16:48] Momo
    Yeah! For real and for sure!
[16:58] Momo
    Ta-da!
[17:02] Momo
    I'm the mover Momo asked for help!
[17:04] Momo
    Mind if I start?
[17:05] Michael
    You're her?
[17:26] Bob
    How did that little boy
    move out all by himself?
[17:28] Robert
    How should I know?
[17:30] Robert
    He just left a letter saying goodbye.
[17:32] Bob
    Go on, keep sniffing.
[17:34] Bob
    You're the only ones who can find Michael!
[17:37] Robert
    Go on! Keep it up!
[17:39] Bob
    Fight! No matter what happens,
    don't let his dog beat you!
[17:44] Bob
    Don't let his dog beat you!
[17:48] Robert
    Hey, don't get distracted!
[17:50] Bob
    This is no time to play!
[17:51] Robert
    Come on, now!
[17:56] Bob
    Hey, you can't do that! Respect the rules!
[17:58] Robert
    Why don't you just go home?
    I'm searching for my son!
[18:01] Robert
    Go!
[18:05] Bob
    I won't let my darling
    grandson be left all alone!
[18:31] Robert
    You okay, Dad?
[18:34] Bob
    Thanks.
[18:55] Bob
    Michael!
[18:55] Bob
    What are you doing in there?
[18:59] Michael
    I ran away from home.
[19:01] Both
    Ran away?!
[19:03] Robert
    Ran away? Do you understand what that means?
[19:07] Michael
    I'm gonna work and live on my own!
[19:09] Robert
    But why did you run away?
[19:12] Momo
    It's obvious.
[19:13] Momo
    Because he doesn't want
    to end up like you two!
[19:16] Robert
    What?
[19:33] Robert
    Michael. Michael, listen to me.
[19:39] Robert
    I'm sorry. This was all my fault.
[19:42] Bob
    I'm sorry, Michael. We'll never fight again.
[19:45] Bob
    I promise.
[19:48] Michael
    Really?
[19:50] Robert
    Really.
[19:57] Robert
    Papa!
[20:01] Bob
    You got me this time.
[20:03] Bob
    Did you plot this, Momo?
[20:05] Momo
    No, I just helped Michael with his plan.
[20:14] Momo
    And that was the end of the park
    street's longest running family feud.
[20:21] Momo
    The end.
[20:29] Ann
    Top of the ninth.
[20:30] Ann
    The Overthere Tigers are
    taking their last at bat.
[20:31] Papa
    Go, go, Lions!
[20:32] Ann
    Can they turn it around?
[20:33] Mama
    Tigers! Tigers!
[20:34] Ann
    It's been a nerve-wracking game.
[20:35] Papa
    Go, our Tigers!
[20:38] Momo
    Papa's a Lions fan, and Mama's a Tigers fan?
[20:41] Mama
    Yes, I was born a Tigers fan!
[20:45] Papa
    Momo, go call the others!
[20:48] Papa
    Let's do the wave for the Lions!
[20:51] Mama
    Yes, a wave for the Tigers!
[20:54] Papa
    Momo's a Lions fan!
[20:55] Papa
    Right, Momo?
[20:56] Mama
    She's a Tigers fan! Isn't that right, Momo?
[20:59] Momo
    Fine, I'm going to call the others.
[21:06] Momo
    I guess it wasn't just that family.
[21:08] King
    Hooray, hooray, Tigers!
[21:10] King
    Go, fight, win!
[21:12] Queen
    Darling, since when have
    you been a Tigers fan?
[21:14] King
    If Mama's a Tigers fan,
    then I'm a Tigers fan!
[21:19] Queen
    You're into the Tigers because she is?
[21:22] Queen
    Well...
[21:25] Queen
    Then take this, darling!
[21:28] Queen
    My Major League pitch!
[21:33] King
    Dee-da!
[21:36] King
    Don't be like that...
[21:45] Harry
    Mister, my usual, please!
[21:48] Harry
    Hey, that's the Evening Star!
[21:51] Momo
    Yeah, he just started stocking it!
[21:53] Harry
    What? What's going on here?!
[21:56] Bob
    Oh, shut up.
[21:57] Bob
    You gonna buy or not?
[21:59] Harry
    Yes, of course I am! I was just wondering...
[22:02] Harry
    So you two finally made up, eh?
[22:04] Harry
    That's the real headline here!
[22:07] Harry
    I'll take a bunch! I gotta show everyone!
[22:12] Bob
    That nosy Harry!
[22:14] Momo
    Come again, please!
[22:21] Momo
    This street along the park is
    full of little stories like that.
[22:25] Momo
    This little intersection is my
    favorite street in the world!
