**[01:36] Narrator**
Long, long ago...
**[01:37] 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...
**[01:55] Narrator**
The girl could use magic to
transform into a grown-up!
**[02:00] Narrator**
They called her Minky Momo.

Dig Here for Dinosaurs!
**[02:06] Momo**
"Dig Here for Dinosaurs."
**[02:24] Dragon**
Open up!
**[02:25] Dragon**
Hey! Open this door, now!
**[02:29] Dragon**
Open up!
**[02:31] Papa**
I love you too, dear...
**[02:35] Mama**
I love you, dear...
**[02:38] Dragon**
Hey! Open up!
**[02:40] Dragon**
Open the door!
**[02:45] Dragon**
Hurry up! Open the door!
**[02:49] Dragon**
Open up!
**[02:50] Papa**
Yes, coming...
**[02:55] Mama**
Aren't you...
**[03:05] Dragon**
I've done it! I've finally done it!
**[03:10] Mama**
Dragonski!
**[03:11] Dragonski**
That's right! It's me!
**[03:16] Lupi**
What a passionate kiss!
**[03:19] Momo**
What are you doing at this hour?
**[03:22] Dragonski**
Hey, who's that girl?
**[03:28] Papa**
It's our daughter, of course. Momo!
**[03:31] Dragonski**
What? You had a daughter?
**[03:33] Dragonski**
Well, no big deal.
**[03:35] Dragonski**
Momo!
**[03:38] Dragonski**
Uncle Dragonski's gonna
show you something great.
**[03:41] Dragonski**
Come and see!
**[03:43] Chama**
He's a force to be reckoned with!
***SIGN*** You said it.
**[03:48] Dragonski**
Here's what I wanted to show you.
**[03:50] Dragonski**
This!
**[03:58] Dragonski**
It's a dinosaur fossil!
**[04:01] Momo**
A dinosaur?
***SIGN*** That's incredible!
**[04:04] Pipil**
So wild!
**[04:05] Papa**
You found this?
**[04:07] Dragonski**
I dug it up just this evening.
**[04:09] Dragonski**
I wanted you to see it so much,
I came right to you first!
**[04:13] Papa**
It's a magnificent fossil!
**[04:17] Papa**
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
**[04:20] Dragonski**
Thank you.
**[04:22] Papa**
You worked so hard for so long, didn't you?
**[04:25] Dragonski**
I just knew you would understand
what this meant to me!
**[04:28] Papa**
Isn't it wonderful?
**[04:30] Dragonski**
Yes.
**[04:31] Momo**
Is that a friend of Papa's?
**[04:34] Momo**
Yes.
**[04:34] Momo**
To achieve his dream of
finding a dinosaur fossil,
**[04:37] Momo**
he used up all his savings,
his wife left him,
**[04:40] Momo**
and he ended up in the
hospital so many times...
**[04:44] Momo**
You could write ten books
about all he's been through!
**[04:50] Momo**
Really?
***SIGN*** That's manly devotion.
***SIGN*** You don't see a lot of that nowadays.
***SIGN*** Even so...
***SIGN*** It's good to see you came out of your underground sleep.
**[05:18] Chamo**
So this is a dinosaur?
**[05:20] Chamo**
Did these huge things really
walk the earth once?
***SIGN*** Humans act like they're the masters of Earth now,
***SIGN*** but for a hundred and some million years,
***SIGN*** dinosaurs were king!
**[05:35] Momo**
So all of Earth was a dinosaur paradise?
***SIGN*** Long, long ago, but yes.
**[05:44] Chamo**
I think I see why that old
guy likes dinosaurs so much.
**[05:48] Lupi**
Isn't it romantic?
**[05:59] Momo**
Papa? Where are you going?
**[06:02] Papa**
Paying a visit to Dragonski.
**[06:06] Momo**
Mr. Dragonski?
**[06:08] Momo**
I'd like to go, too!
**[06:11] Papa**
Come along, then.
**[06:13] All**
Yes!
**[06:15] Momo**
Thank you, Papa!
**[06:23] Momo**
Mr. Dragonski was so excited! He said he'd
dig up an even bigger dinosaur fossil!
**[06:29] Papa**
Yes.
**[06:31] Momo**
What's wrong, Papa?
**[06:33] Papa**
Oh... I've just got something on my mind.
**[06:47] Papa**
Hey, Dragonski?
**[06:50] Papa**
Where could he be?
**[06:52] Papa**
Uncle Dragonski!
***SIGN*** Mr. Dragonski!
***SIGN*** Heave-ho!
***SIGN*** What's with this hole? Sheesh...
**[07:08] Momo**
Cookbook!
**[07:26] Dragonski**
Could it be a dinosaur fossil?!
**[07:33] Dragonski**
What?!
**[07:42] Dragonski**
Oh, come on! Who's burying that trash here?
**[07:54] Dragonski**
Eh? Something soft?
**[08:05] Dragonski**
Eh? Momo, what're you doing here?
**[08:09] Momo**
Hello, sir.
**[08:10] Momo**
Papa drove me here.
**[08:16] Momo**
That's amazing! You dug all this yourself?
**[08:20] Dragonski**
Yes.
**[08:21] Dragonski**
Using a bulldozer would damage
the precious fossils, after all.
***SIGN*** This must have taken years!
**[08:29] Lupi**
Isn't it romantic?
**[08:38] Momo**
That's awesome!
**[08:42] Dragonski**
Long, long ago, this area
was home to dinosaurs.
**[08:50] Dragonski**
When I close my eyes, I can see them.
**[09:13] Dragonski**
Tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus,
triceratops, pteranodon...
**[09:20] Dragonski**
Well? Aren't they all having fun?
**[09:29] Dragonski**
Could you see them, Momo?
**[09:32] Momo**
I could!
**[09:33] Momo**
I bet there were lots of dinosaurs
living here, just like you said.
**[09:38] Dragonski**
You really think so?
**[09:40] Dragonski**
That makes me so happy!
**[09:42] Dragonski**
I'm hoping to make this
whole place a dinosaur park!
**[09:47] Dragonski**
The place where we're standing will
be a museum with an observatory,
**[09:50] Dragonski**
and we'll invite kids to visit every day!
**[09:54] Momo**
I want to visit, too! Please invite me!
**[09:56] Dragonski**
I certainly will!
**[09:58] Dragonski**
That's why I need to unearth as
many dinosaur fossils as I can.
**[10:05] Momo**
I'll help, too.
**[10:07] Dragonski**
Thank you.
**[10:08] Dragonski**
Eh? What's your father doing?
**[10:13] Papa**
Oh me, oh my...
**[10:15] Dragonski**
What're you up to?
**[10:16] Dragonski**
Let me have a look.
**[10:18] Papa**
Eh? Eh?
**[10:21] Dragonski**
What's going on?
**[10:26] Papa**
Hey, where did you find this fossil?
**[10:28] Dragonski**
Eh? This one?
**[10:35] Dragonski**
Right here!
**[10:37] Papa**
I thought so.
**[10:40] Papa**
This stratum comes from after
the time of the dinosaurs.
**[10:44] Dragonski**
What are you saying?
**[10:46] Papa**
Well... it's just...
**[10:49] Momo**
So that fossil wasn't a dinosaur?
**[10:51] Dragonski**
What did you say?!
**[10:53] Papa**
Put simply, what you excavated
wasn't a dinosaur fossil.
**[10:59] Papa**
I checked with my magnifying glass,
**[11:01] Papa**
but it didn't have the serrated teeth of
a carnivorous dinosaur, so I'm quite sure.
**[11:06] Papa**
It's not a dinosaur.
**[11:08] Papa**
It's a lizard fossil.
**[11:11] Dragonski**
A lizard?!
**[11:29] Papa**
Dragonski, wake up!
**[11:31] Momo**
Mr. Dragonski!
**[11:33] Momo**
Help us, everyone!
**[11:34] Chamo**
Okay!
**[11:36] Dragonski**
A lizard?

Uncle Dragonski!
**[12:00] Momo**
Hello!
**[12:03] Momo**
I brought lots of presents!
**[12:07] Momo**
A feast made by Mama!
**[12:09] Momo**
Eh?
**[12:12] Momo**
I thought for sure you'd be hungry...
**[12:16] Chamo**
Hey, mister. Come on!
**[12:18] Chamo**
We've got sausages. Look!
**[12:22] Chamo**
He's hopeless.
***SIGN*** The fact that he's not responding to his favorite foods suggests
***SIGN*** that he took the news a lot harder than we thought.
**[12:32] Lupi**
Despite his rugged appearance,
he's really quite sensitive!
**[12:35] Lupi**
Oh, we simply *must* help him!
**[12:39] Lupi**
Please, Momo! Isn't there
something we can do?
**[12:41] Momo**
Yeah, I am pretty worried...
**[12:45] Momo**
Okay!
**[12:49] Momo**
Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!

**[13:25] Momo**
Well?
**[13:26] Lupi**
Beautiful! Good!
**[13:28] Chamo**
Perfect! Good!
***SIGN*** Nice! Good!
**[13:31] Momo**
Great!
**[13:33] Momo**
Okay, Mr. Dragonski. How
are we feeling today?
**[13:36] Momo**
Let's check your pulse.
**[13:40] Momo**
Now, open your mouth and say ah!
**[13:46] Momo**
Okay, that's fine.
**[13:48] Momo**
Well, your health seems just fine.
**[13:51] Momo**
Perhaps you need a shot to perk you up?
**[13:54] Dragonski**
A shot?
**[13:56] Dragonski**
Shot?
**[13:57] Dragonski**
Shot?!
**[13:58] Dragonski**
No, no, I don't want pain!
**[14:01] Momo**
Get out of bed, then!
**[14:04] Momo**
I know you can, can't you?
**[14:05] Dragonski**
I suppose...
**[14:07] Momo**
The best thing for this is a walk.
**[14:09] Dragonski**
A walk, eh?
**[14:12] Dragonski**
Thank you.
**[14:16] Momo**
Go on, look! It's a lovely day.
**[14:20] Momo**
Get some of that nice fresh air
and you'll feel reinvigorated!
**[14:51] Momo**
Are you okay?!
**[15:10] Momo**
Were you hurt?
**[15:12] Momo**
What's the matter?
**[15:14] Dragonski**
I don't feel like a walk just yet.
**[15:18] Dragonski**
Excuse me.
**[15:20] Momo**
Wait!
**[15:26] Lupi**
We almost had him!
**[15:30] Chamo**
Look! Pictures of him when he was younger!
**[15:41] Momo**
Mr. Dragonski has been here
working hard all this time.
***SIGN*** Dreaming of meeting a dinosaur...
**[15:48] Momo**
Okay...
**[15:50] Momo**
Then I'm going to transform into a dinosaur!
**[15:54] Chamo**
A dinosaur?
***SIGN*** You can't!
***SIGN*** The only magic that works on the surface is the kind that makes you eighteen!
**[16:02] Momo**
I won't know until I try!
**[16:04] Momo**
At this rate, Mr. Dragonski's
really gonna make himself sick!
**[16:09] Momo**
Here I go!
**[16:10] Momo**
Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
**[16:12] Momo**
Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
**[16:14] Momo**
Become a dinosaur with a Minky touch!
***SIGN*** That wasn't good!
**[16:35] Chamo**
Momo's up there!
**[16:40] Chamo**
Momo!
**[16:43] Momo**
I messed up. What now?
**[16:48] Dragonski**
What?!
**[16:49] Dragonski**
Wh-Wh-What happened here?
**[16:55] Momo**
I'm sorry.
**[16:59] Momo**
You're moving away?
**[17:01] Momo**
Didn't you dream of building a
museum with an observatory here?
**[17:08] Dragonski**
Listen, Momo.
**[17:09] Dragonski**
There are dreams humans are allowed
to have, and dreams they aren't.
**[17:13] Dragonski**
My dream was one that would never come true.
**[17:19] Dragonski**
You can't spend your whole life
dreaming a dream like that.
**[17:23] Dragonski**
I know that very well now.
**[17:26] Momo**
Oh, no...
**[17:37] Momo**
I don't believe Mr. Dragonski's
dream is as impossible as all that.
**[17:43] Chamo**
But the fossil he dug up wasn't a dinosaur.
**[17:47] Momo**
Non, non!
**[17:48] Momo**
I think dinosaurs really
did live here long ago.
**[17:52] Momo**
Because when I closed my eyes
before, I really did see dinosaurs.
***SIGN*** Momo, if you're sure,
***SIGN*** why not try your magic one more time to see if dinosaurs really lived here?
**[18:04] Momo**
You think my magic will work?
***SIGN*** Even on Earth, there was a time when people believed in hopes and dreams.
***SIGN*** And dinosaurs lived on Earth long ago, long before humans.
***SIGN*** If there really are dinosaurs under the ground here, even if they're fossils,
***SIGN*** I think your magic will work on them.
**[18:23] Momo**
Really? Let's try it, then!
**[18:25] Lupi**
Try it! Show us!
**[18:27] Chamo**
You won't know until you try!
**[18:29] Momo**
Nothing ends unless it starts first, yeah!
**[18:32] Momo**
Okay, then, let's give it a try!
**[18:37] Momo**
I make this humble request.
**[18:39] Momo**
If you dinosaurs really are sleeping
here, please show yourselves to me!
**[18:47] Momo**
Bring back the time of the dinosaurs!
**[19:04] Momo**
It worked!
**[19:06] Momo**
C'mon, everyone! Come out!
**[19:22] Dragonski**
Y-You...
**[19:27] Dragonski**
You want me to follow you?
**[19:31] Dragonski**
F-Follow— what?!
**[20:09] Dragonski**
I knew that dinosaurs lived here!
**[20:13] Chamo**
We did it!
**[20:29] Dragonski**
Just a dream, eh?
**[20:32] Dragonski**
Although...
**[20:34] Dragonski**
Is that...
**[20:44] Dragonski**
That's...
**[20:50] Dragonski**
It doesn't... look like a lizard.
**[20:52] Papa**
It's a dinosaur fossil, of course.
**[20:57] Papa**
You really have done it this time, Dragonski.
**[21:02] Momo**
Now, you'd better dig out the rest!
**[21:05] Momo**
It'll be the first exhibit
at your dinosaur museum!
**[21:08] Dragonski**
R-Right! Let's get to it!
**[21:10] Papa**
Okay! I'll help out, too!
**[21:12] All**
We will, too!
**[21:17] King**
What's your name? Yes? Dinosaur?
**[21:20] King**
Truly, love never dies.
**[21:22] Queen**
Even if they become fossils or bones,
**[21:25] Queen**
if you continue to love someone,
you'll meet them again someday.
**[21:29] King**
No bones about it! Love is a spare rib!
**[21:32] King**
Do you love me to the bone, dear?
**[21:34] Queen**
To the bone? You've shown no sign of
having bones in three thousand years,
**[21:39] Queen**
at least of the backbone kind...
**[21:42] King**
Really? Love is fossilized...
**[21:55] Papa**
Dear, this is the greatest
fossil I've ever seen.
**[22:00] Mama**
It's lovely!
**[22:02] Mama**
It makes me want to give up on mystery
novels and write a dinosaur novel instead!
**[22:09] Momo**
Hello, Mr. Curator!
**[22:11] Momo**
Huh?
**[22:12] Momo**
He's not here?
**[22:14] Mocha**
Momo, this way!
***SIGN*** He's still sleeping on the sofa.
**[22:18] Mocha**
Should we wake him?
**[22:19] Momo**
No, not right now.
**[22:22] Momo**
He seems like he's having really nice dreams.
***SIGN*** Yeah. Let's wait until he wakes up, then.
**[22:28] Momo**
Yeah, let's wait.

Hello! Minky Momo here!

Eh? Zaruni, kitsune, tanuki, tempura?

We're not a soba shop. That's
