[01:17] Momo
    "The Boy Who Saw a Bluebird."
[01:25] King
    Fret, fret, fret, fret!
[01:26] King
    Fret, fret, la-dee-da!
[01:29] Queen
    What has you so restless?
[01:31] Queen
    It's not like you, darling.
[01:33] Queen
    You're usually so lazy.
[01:35] King
    Well, yes, I like to nap to conserve energy,
[01:39] King
    as they say activity makes you hungry...
[01:41] King
    But now I'm thinking!
[01:44] Queen
    Stop!
[01:45] Queen
    At least hold still when you're talking.
[01:49] King
    I'm thinking.
[01:51] King
    If Momo's pendant flashes once more,
[01:53] King
    the first jewel, the diamond,
    will appear in the crown!
[01:57] King
    It just has me on pins
    and needles, la-dee-da!
[02:02] Queen
    Oh! Is that it?
[02:04] Queen
    Well, you are still Momo's father.
[02:06] Queen
    You're really that worried about her?
[02:09] King
    I'll be so upset if I miss the moment!
[02:11] King
    I'd regret it for ten thousand years!
[02:15] King
    It'll be the greatest show of my lifetime!
[02:18] Queen
    What was that?!
[02:20] Queen
    Are you saying you see your daughter's quest
[02:22] Queen
    as some kind of circus performance?
[02:26] Queen
    What in the world is the matter with you?
[02:28] Queen
    I may have to consider divorce!
[02:30] King
    Oh, oh!
[02:31] King
    Divorce?
[02:31] King
    No, no, no!
[02:33] King
    My love for you stretches from the edges
    of the world to the edges of my teacup!
[02:42] Queen
    I suppose I should ask, after staying two
    thousand years with such a husband...
[02:46] Queen
    What's the matter with me?
[02:50] Queen
    It's more mysterious than
    the universe itself!
[02:56] Mama
    Dear, your coffee's ready.
[03:00] Papa
    Hey, dear, I'm actually home for once.
[03:02] Papa
    Why don't we play some cards with Momo?
[03:05] Papa
    C'mon, let's play cards!
[03:06] Mama
    Momo's busy.
[03:08] Mama
    Let's play rock-paper-scissors without her!
[03:11] Papa
    Eh? Momo's busy?
[03:13] Papa
    With what?
[03:15] Mama
    She has a test at school tomorrow.
[03:18] Mama
    It's important for children to study!
[03:20] Mama
    Now, rock-paper-scissors!
[03:21] Papa
    Well, that's great.
[03:21] Mama
    Break the tie! Yes!
[03:23] Papa
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[03:25] Papa
    Wait, did she always go to school?
[03:29] Mama
    That's a good question.
[03:30] Mama
    But she is the right age for it.
[03:33] Mama
    It makes sense that she'd
    go to school, right?
[03:35] Mama
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[03:36] Mama
    Oh, break the tie!
[03:38] Mama
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[03:39] Mama
    One more!
[03:40] Mama
    Break the tie!
[03:43] Momo
    I just don't get it.
[03:46] Momo
    Why do 20th century children have to
    study all these complicated things?
SIGN    It's important to follow the local customs.
SIGN    Just give it your best!
[03:55] Mocha
    Has smarty-pants Momo been
    defeated by school lessons?
[03:59] Mocha
    I've found your weak point!
[04:02] Pipil
    Intelligence makes a person more beautiful.
[04:04] Pipil
    Just like me!
SIGN    Yeah, right.
SIGN    Pipil, all you have is  the beauty of ignorance.
SIGN    You're a shrimpy little thing, too.
[04:13] Pipil
    Oh, now you've gone too far!
[04:17] Momo
    Stop the fighting!
[04:19] Momo
    Please be silent while I'm studying!
[04:21] Momo
    I've got a great idea.
[04:23] Mocha
    We'd love to hear it!
[04:25] Momo
    I'll use magic to eat the
    words in the textbook.
[04:29] Momo
    Then I'll have it all memorized in no time.
SIGN    Sounds a bit like cheating to me.
[04:34] Momo
    Words, be mine!
[04:46] Momo
    My spells always seem to turn out that way.
[04:48] Momo
    Why do you think it never
    works in this world?
[04:51] Mocha
    Yeah, the only spell that works right
[04:54] Mocha
    is the one that turns you into a grown-up.
[04:56] Momo
    Okay, it's time to get serious!
SIGN    Yeah! Serious about studying!
SIGN    That's the way to go!
[05:01] Mocha
    She's gonna dig down deep!
[05:03] Pipil
    How a girl's eyes shine
    when she finds her resolve!
[05:07] Momo
    Yeah, I'm giving up on it for now!
[05:12] Momo
    Good night!
[05:26] Momo
    Hmm, hmm, hmm...
[05:32] Momo
    I just don't get it from any angle.
[05:36] Momo
    I'll have to take the zero, smile,
    and let it work itself out.
[05:40] King
    Oh dear, oh dear!
[05:42] King
    I suppose she really is my daughter.
[05:46] King
    Well, I'll let it work itself out.
[05:49] Queen
    I don't know what to say.
[05:55] Momo
    But now I'm just bored.
[05:59] Momo
    Oh?
[06:12] Momo
    Is he looking at something?
[06:14] Momo
    I don't see it.
[06:22] Momo
    What could it be?
[06:26] Momo
    Hey, you! What are you looking at?
[06:29] Momo
    Hey!
[06:30] Ken
    That hurt!
[06:31] Ken
    W-What are you doing?!
[06:33] Teacher
    Both of you, into the hall!
[06:37] Momo/Ken
    Okay.
[06:42] Teacher
    Oh, dear...
[06:44] Teacher
    Has that girl always been in our class?
[06:47] Teacher
    Well... I'm sure it's fine.
[06:50] Ken
    I wouldn't be in trouble
    if you hadn't poked me.
[06:54] Momo
    I just wanted to know
    what you were looking at!
[06:57] Momo
    Please tell me!
[06:58] Ken
    Nothing! Shut up already!
[07:01] Teacher
    We're having a test in here!
[07:02] Teacher
    You kids make me so angry!
[07:12] Momo
    Hello!
[07:17] Chime
    Ding-dong!
[07:18] Chime
    Twelve o'clock! Time for lunch!
[07:21] Chime
    Ding-dong!
[07:31] Momo
    Hey, why is he eating alone?
[07:34] Girl
    He's a weirdo.
[07:35] Girl
    You should probably keep your distance.
[07:40] Momo
    Did I startle you?
[07:42] Ken
    Oh, it's just you.
[07:44] Momo
    Hey, why are you eating alone?
[07:46] Momo
    You should eat with us!
[07:49] Ken
    Shut up. Leave me alone.
[07:53] Momo
    It's more fun with other people.
[07:55] Ken
    No way.
[07:56] Ken
    Shoo, shoo!
[07:58] Momo
    He really is weird.
[08:00] Chime
    Ding-dong!
[08:02] Chime
    School's over! No more studies!
[08:04] Chime
    Come back bright and early tomorrow!
[08:06] Chime
    Ding-dong!
[08:11] Momo
    Okay, here I go!
[08:13] Momo
    Take that!
[08:20] Momo
    Take that!
[08:27] Momo
    Hey, Ken!
[08:31] Momo
    Want to play with everyone?
[08:32] Momo
    It'll be fun! Let's go!
[08:35] Ken
    I don't have time for that stuff!
[08:40] Momo
    What's wrong with him?
[08:42] Girl
    Just leave him be.
[08:43] Girl
    He's never had any friends.
[08:46] Girl
    His father left the country to work,
[08:50] Girl
    and his mother works late too.
[08:52] Girl
    So he has to go home the
    minute school's over.
[08:55] Girl
    That's why he's always pouting.
[09:07] Momo
    Ken lives on the 15th floor, they said.
[09:16] Ken
    Who's there?
[09:20] Momo
    Hi! I came to play!
[09:22] Momo
    I brought my friends, too.
[09:24] Momo
    Sindbook, Mocha, and Pipil.
[09:27] Ken
    Get lost. You can't come in.
[09:29] Ken
    Just leave!
[09:33] Momo
    Guess it won't work.
[09:34] Momo
    Maybe he doesn't like me.
[09:37] Momo
    Then one day, about a week later...
[09:41] Momo
    Ken!
[09:43] Ken
    I... I think my bluebird is dying.
[09:46] Momo
    Bluebird?
[09:48] Momo
    As in, the little songbird
    that brings happiness?
[09:52] Ken
    Yeah.
[09:53] Ken
    Please, cure my bluebird!
[09:55] Momo
    Mama, where's Papa?
[09:57] Mama
    He's at the zoo, curing the
    anteater's indigestion.
[10:01] Mocha
    Sounds like it's Momo's turn!
[10:03] Momo
    Okay! Leave it to me!
[10:12] Momo
    Looks like a mild pneumonia,
    but he'll be fine now.
[10:15] Ken
    That's great.
[10:16] Ken
    Isn't that great, my bluebird?
[10:18] Momo
    This is your bluebird?
[10:19] Ken
    Yeah.
[10:20] Ken
    You're gonna say he's just a parakeet, right?
[10:22] Ken
    I know that.
[10:23] Ken
    But he's a bluebird to me!
[10:25] Momo
    I see.
[10:26] Momo
    He must be, then.
[10:29] Ken
    You believe me?
[10:30] Momo
    Of course.
[10:31] Ken
    Great.
[10:33] Ken
    Hey, you want to come by my apartment?
[10:36] Ken
    I've never had anyone over before.
[10:39] Momo
    I'd love to!
[10:48] Ken
    This is all part of Papa's collection.
[10:50] Ken
    He's a folklorist.
[10:51] Momo
    Folklorist?
[10:53] Ken
    He researches old legends and stories
    from countries all over the world.
[11:02] Momo
    Th-This is...
[11:06] King
    Why? Why?
[11:08] King
    Why does he have a map of our country?!
[11:12] sign
    Fairy Princess
[11:12] sign
    Minky Momo
[11:21] Ken
    It's a map of the kingdom
    of wonder, Fenarinarsa,
[11:23] Ken
    which once existed in this world.
[11:26] Momo
    Right.
[11:27] Momo
    But... where did he find it?
[11:29] Ken
    He found it in some ruins in India.
[11:33] Ken
    Fenarinarsa was a kingdom of
    wonder that anyone could visit.
[11:38] Ken
    But one day, it disappeared.
[11:41] Ken
    They say it traveled beyond the
    clouds, beyond the aurora...
[11:45] King
    Yeah, it was a shock to us, too!
[11:57] (Flashback) Chicken
    Your Majesty, wake up!
[11:58] (Flashback) Chicken
    Your Majesty, wake up!
[12:01] (Flashback) Chicken
    You've been sleeping for a thousand years!
[12:03] (Flashback) Chicken
    It's about time to get up, don't you think?
[12:06] (Flashback) King
    So comfy and cozy...
[12:08] (Flashback) Queen
    Darling, it's customary for the
    king to be the first one awake.
[12:16] (Flashback) King
    Yes, yes, I know.
[12:18] (Flashback) King
    Oh, oh!
[12:24] (Flashback) King
    Hey. Hey, hey.
[12:26] (Flashback) King
    Are you gonna get up too?
[12:27] (Flashback) Queen
    I just need a little longer.
[12:30] (Flashback) Queen
    Have a good time.
[12:33] (Flashback) King
    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
[12:37] (Flashback) King
    Forward, ho!
[12:45] (Flashback) King
    Go forth!
[12:55] (Flashback) King
    Looks like everyone's still asleep.
[12:58] (Flashback) King
    Kingship is such a lonely occupation.
[13:06] (Flashback) King
    It's been a while, but time to open
    the kingdom of wonder once more!
[13:09] (Flashback) King
    Border switch, open!
[13:22] (Flashback) King
    Come, friends of Earth!
[13:24] (Flashback) King
    Naptime in the land of wonder,
    Fenarinarsa, is over!
[13:29] (Flashback) King
    You're all free to come in!
[13:32] (Flashback) King
    Now come, come, come!
[13:40] (Flashback) King
    Why's it so quiet?
[13:42] (Flashback) King
    And so much mist...
[13:44] (Flashback) King
    Feels like I missed something, almost...
[13:50] (Flashback) King
    That's it.
[13:58] (Flashback) King
    No!
[14:07] (Flashback) King
    Oh?!
[14:09] (Flashback) King
    Earth's getting further and further away!
[14:12] (Flashback) King
    What's going on here?
[14:14] (Flashback) King
    Why is Earth so far away?
[14:17] (Flashback) King
    Earth was so blue!
[14:21] (Flashback) King
    Why? Why? Why?!
[14:29] Computer
    The Dream Computer shall
    answer your question.
[14:33] Computer
    In the thousand years you were asleep,
[14:36] Computer
    humans stopped believing
    in dreams, hope, and joy.
[14:43] Computer
    The greater that lack of feeling becomes,
[14:46] Computer
    the further Fenarinarsa will drift from Earth.
[14:50] (Flashback) King
    That's so sad.
[14:51] (Flashback) King
    It feels so sad.
[14:53] (Flashback) King
    Is there no way to bring it back?
[14:55] Computer
    If twelve jewels appear on
    the crown in the great hall,
[15:00] Computer
    Fenarinarsa will return to Earth.
[15:03] (Flashback) King
    How do we make them appear?
[15:05] Computer
    Please read the crown's instruction manual.
[15:09] (Flashback) King
    "Someone of the royal bloodline must
    bring dreams and hopes to others.
[15:16] (Flashback) King
    One jewel will be added for
    every four good deeds."
[15:20] (Flashback) King
    "Once all twelve jewels appear,
[15:22] (Flashback) King
    Fenarinarsa will return to
    its original state. Period."
[15:29] (Flashback) King
    You'll be going to Earth to do good deeds!
[15:33] (Flashback) Momo
    What kind of good deeds?
[15:35] (Flashback) Queen
    Momo.
[15:38] (Flashback) Queen
    When this pendant lights up, it'll
    mean you've done something good.
[15:45] (Flashback) Momo
    Okay! I'll try!
[15:47] (Flashback) King
    Well, just don't get too worked up.
[15:49] (Flashback) King
    You can let it work itself out.
[15:52] (Flashback) Queen
    That easygoing attitude is dangerous.
[15:54] (Flashback) Queen
    Momo, listen to me.
[15:56] (Flashback) Queen
    Your magic won't work on most Earthlings,
[15:59] (Flashback) Queen
    because they don't believe
    in a world of wonder.
[16:02] (Flashback) King
    It's all good, it's all good!
[16:04] (Flashback) King
    I'll give you friends to help you instead.
[16:08] (Flashback) King
    These three animals.
[16:14] (Flashback) Momo
    Merci, thanks! It's a real pleasure!
[16:16] (Flashback) Momo
    Okay, I'm off!
[16:20] (Flashback) Queen
    Darling, you chose those
    three to be her friends?
[16:23] (Flashback) King
    I get it.
[16:24] (Flashback) King
    But everyone else is still asleep.
[16:26] (Flashback) King
    They were the only three still awake!
[16:32] Ken
    You know...
[16:33] Ken
    I really love the story of Fenarinarsa.
[16:36] Ken
    I feel like if I keep looking at the
    sky, I might just catch sight of it.
[16:40] Ken
    I guess that's a little silly.
[16:42] Momo
    Is that why you always look at the sky?
[16:44] Ken
    Of course, I never see it.
[16:46] Ken
    Hey, come see my room.
[16:54] Momo
    Wow!
[16:59] Ken
    These are my friends.
[17:01] Momo
    They're lovely!
[17:03] Ken
    I'm always on my own, you know?
[17:06] Ken
    So I talk to them.
[17:08] Ken
    Though they never talk back.
[17:10] Ken
    But they're all alive, and I
    play with them in my mind's eye.
[17:17] Ken
    See? They're moving in your mind's eye.
[17:21] Momo
    They are!
[17:24] Ken
    But when I open my eyes...
[17:29] Ken
    This is the reality, right?
[17:36] Momo
    Another week passed after that.
[17:45] Ken
    Let me through!
[17:47] Ken
    You gotta let me through!
[17:48] Ken
    That's my apartment!
[17:50] Ken
    My bluebird is in there! And my friends!
[17:53] Cop
    Don't be ridiculous! All
    the residents are out!
[17:55] Ken
    No! You're wrong!
[17:58] Momo
    Ken!
[18:00] Cop
    He's too reckless. We can't save him now!
[18:08] Momo
    Isn't there something we can do?
SIGN    Animals like us can't handle fire.
[18:13] Momo
    What's a job about saving people from fire?
[18:16] Momo
    Tell me, please!
SIGN    A fire and rescue department officer!
[18:20] Momo
    That's it!
[18:22] Momo
    Pipiruma Pipiruma Puririnpa!
[18:25] Momo
    Papareho Papareho Doriminpa!
[18:53] Momo
    It's no use. I won't make it like this!
[18:55] Momo
    Someone, please!
[18:57] Momo
    Someone, save Ken!
[18:59] Momo
    Save him!
[19:01] Toys
    Ken! Don't die!
[19:03] Toys
    Hang in there, Ken!
[19:05] Toys
    Get up, Ken!
[19:06] Toys
    We can't let him die!
[19:09] Toys
    Come on! Let's help him!
[19:15] Toys
    Ken!
[19:22] Toys
    He's here! Ken's here!
[19:24] Toys
    Help him!
[19:52] King
    C'mon, aces! C'mon, aces! All aces!
[19:55] King
    It's aces!
[20:05] King
    La-dee-da, a diamond! Stage one, complete!
[20:09] Queen
    This is no time to celebrate.
[20:11] Queen
    There are still eleven jewels left to add.
[20:14] King
    Indeed.
[20:15] King
    But seeing those toys come to life is a sign
[20:18] King
    that Momo's magic has grown more powerful!
[20:21] King
    It's good, good, very good!
[20:23] Queen
    That wasn't purely the power of Momo's magic.
[20:27] Queen
    The real power came from Momo's magic
    mixing with that boy's belief in wonder.
[20:34] King
    Oh, I see. Well, it's good, very good.
[20:43] Ken
    I think the friends who saved
    me are in Fenarinarsa right now.
[20:51] Ken
    I won't say it, because
    no one will believe me...
[20:55] Ken
    But I can see it.
[20:57] Momo
    Fenarinarsa?
[21:00] Ken
    Yeah.
[21:02] Momo
    I bet I can see it, too.

    Hi, Minky Momo here!
[22:10] Momo
    The jewel added to the
    crown today was a diamond,
[22:12] Momo
