    "Please, Santa Claus."
[01:28] Momo
    It's so big!
[01:34] Papa
    That reminds me, Momo.
[01:36] Papa
    What would you like for
    your Christmas present?
[01:38] Momo
    Christmas present?
[01:40] Papa
    You know.
[01:40] Santa
    Here you are.
[01:43] Santa
    Here!
[01:44] Momo
    Oh, a present from Santa Claus?
[01:47] Momo
    Santa Claus gives presents for Christmas now?
[01:51] Momo
    O-Oh, right! So that's the
    custom in this city, huh?
[01:55] Papa
    Huh?
[01:56] Mama
    She says the strangest things
    from time to time, doesn't she?
[01:59] Mama
    Everyone knows you get
    presents for Christmas!
[02:02] Momo
    O-Of course!
[02:04] Papa
    So, what would you like?
[02:07] Momo
    I couldn't ask you for a present, Papa.
[02:10] Momo
    I'll ask Santa Claus himself!
[02:13] Papa
    Ask Santa Claus?
[02:18] Boy
    Hey, Mister.
[02:19] Santa
    What is it?
[02:21] Boy
    Are you really Santa Claus?
[02:23] Boy
    Will you really give us presents?
[02:27] Santa
    I don't know what to say...
[02:29] John
    Knock it off. This is just an
    advertising guy dressed like Santa.
[02:33] Santa
    Y-Yeah.
[02:34] Paul
    See? I told you, there's no Santa Claus.
[02:38] Otto
    That's not true.
[02:39] Otto
    I met Santa long, long ago!
[02:42] Paul
    Did not!
[02:43] Otto
    Did too!
[02:44] Otto
    It was the Christmas Eve when I was seven.
[02:47] Otto
    I woke up in the middle of the
    night to use the bathroom.
[02:55] (Flashback) Otto
    Who are you, mister?
[02:57] (Flashback) Otto
    What are you doing?
[02:58] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Turn off the light, child.
[03:01] (Flashback) Lupinne
    I can't have you seeing my face.
[03:02] (Flashback) Otto
    Why not?
[03:04] (Flashback) Otto
    Oh, I know! You're Santa Claus, right?
[03:07] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Santa... I suppose.
[03:10] (Flashback) Otto
    I won't look at your face.
[03:14] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Good boy.
[03:19] (Flashback) Lupinne
    You can have my glove.
[03:21] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Every night, on Christmas,
    leave it on your pillow.
[03:25] (Flashback) Lupinne
    I'll leave a wonderful present inside it.
[03:28] (Flashback) Otto
    Really?
[03:29] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Yes.
[03:30] (Flashback) Lupinne
    But this is a promise between
    a child and Santa Claus.
[03:33] (Flashback) Lupinne
    Don't go telling your parents, now.
[03:35] (Flashback) Otto
    Sure!
[03:37] Paul
    Oh, please! He was just a thief!
[03:39] Otto
    Was not!
[03:40] Otto
    There's been a present left
    in the glove every year after!
[03:43] John
    We use stockings at my house,
[03:45] John
    but we do get presents in them every year!
[03:47] Paul
    It's gotta be someone else doing it.
[03:50] Momo
    That's not true!
[03:53] Momo
    Because Santa Claus does exist.
[03:55] Momo
    Right, Papa?
[03:56] Papa
    Y-Yeah...
[03:58] Papa
    I'm sure he does.
[03:59] Paul
    You can't believe adults!
[04:01] Santa
    Now, now, son.
[04:02] Santa
    It's true that I'm a fake.
[04:05] Santa
    But you should believe.
[04:06] Santa
    The real Santa will come and visit you!
[04:10] Paul
    All right.
[04:12] Paul
    This is a letter to Santa Claus.
[04:15] Paul
    I don't want any presents,
[04:17] Paul
    but if Santa Claus really exists, he
    should at least write me back, right?
[04:22] John
    That's a good point.
[04:25] Paul
    I'll prove that Santa Claus isn't real!
[04:29] Momo
    Hey, why are you so hung up on this?
[04:32] Momo
    Everyone knows Santa Claus is real!
[04:35] Paul
    Liar, liar, liar!
[04:36] Paul
    Santa Claus doesn't exist!
[04:39] Paul
    Because... I've never gotten
    a present from Santa Claus.
[04:46] Paul
    There is no Santa Claus!
[04:47] Mama
    That poor boy.
[04:50] Papa
    Hey, who is that kid?
[04:52] Otto
    His name is Paul.
[04:53] Otto
    His parents died when he was little,
[04:56] Otto
    and some friends of theirs took him in.
[05:00] Santa
    I see. It's not nice for Santa
    Claus to play favorites.
[05:02] Papa
    That's true.
[05:04] Momo
    How strange...
[05:10] Pipil
    If that story is true, it really is strange!
[05:13] Mocha
    Why are they so convinced Santa Claus
    can only come on Christmas Eve?
[05:18] Momo
    And to think there's a
    child not getting presents?
[05:22] Momo
    Do you think Mr. Santa Claus
    is slacking on the job?
[05:26] Momo
    What is it?
[05:27] Sind
    This is a serious situation!
[05:28] Sind
    According to this encyclopedia,
[05:31] Sind
    the legend of Santa Claus began when
    a 4th century monk named St. Nicholas
[05:36] Sind
    began giving presents out to poor children!
[05:40] Mocha
    That's so stupid!
[05:41] Mocha
    Santa Claus is a Fenarinarsa
    door-to-door service
[05:45] Mocha
    that's been sending presents
    to children for 100,000 years!
[05:48] Sind
    At the very least, this Santa doesn't
    seem to be the Santa we know.
[05:52] Momo
    We need to find out what happened
    to the real Santa Claus!
[05:56] Pipil
    And let's make sure that Paul kid's
    letter gets to the real Santa!
[06:02] Momo
    Oh, right. I forgot about that part!
[06:05] Pipil
    Isn't that why we were
    looking into it, though?
[06:07] Momo
    Well, I want to make sure I
    get a present from Santa, too!
[06:14] Momo
    Anyway, let's head to the post office!
[06:22] Man
    A letter to Santa Claus?
[06:24] Momo
    Yes, written by a boy named Paul.
[06:27] Man
    That's a problem. It
    wouldn't be easy to find.
[06:31] Man
    After all, those are all
    letters to Santa Claus!
[06:37] Momo
    Those are all...
[06:39] Man
    Tell this boy, Paul, that we'll make
    sure his letter gets to Santa Claus!
[06:43] Momo
    O-Okay...
[06:47] Momo
    That was weird.
[06:48] Mocha
    What was? Why?
[06:51] Momo
    You really think they'll
    get those letters to him?
[06:53] Mocha
    Why not?
[06:54] Mocha
    The postal workers said they would!
[06:57] Pipil
    You fool!
[06:58] Pipil
    You think the postal workers
    really know Santa's address?
[07:01] Mocha
    Good point!
[07:02] Sind
    According to my address book,
[07:04] Sind
    Santa Claus's secret workshop is on the
    base of an iceberg at the North Pole!
[07:09] Sind
    I doubt human postal workers
    could deliver mail there!
[07:12] Mocha
    Oh, oh!
[07:14] Momo
    Okay, let's follow them!
[07:37] Mocha
    What are they doing in this warehouse?
[07:39] Pipil
    To get to Santa's place at the North Pole,
[07:41] Pipil
    they'd need to go to an
    airport or a harbor, right?
[07:44] Momo
    Okay, I'm curious! Let's investigate!
[07:48] Momo
    Pipiruma Pipiruma Puririnpa!
[07:50] Momo
    Papareho Papareho Doriminpa!
[07:52] Momo
    Become Phantom Thief Red
    Cat with an adult touch!
[08:13] Momo
    Well? Remember me?
[08:15] Pipil
    Lovely! I love this one!
[08:17] Mocha
    How could anyone forget?
[08:18] Sind
    It's been too long!
[08:41] Man
    Replies from Santa to the
    good boys and girls...
[08:44] Man
    How many have you written?
[08:45] Man
    This is my 256th.
[08:47] Man
    What about you?
[08:48] Man
    My 301st.
[08:49] Man
    It's not easy, mimicking Santa.
[08:51] Man
    I don't mind.
[08:53] Man
    When I imagine the kids smiling
    as they read the replies...
[08:57] Momo
    I see!
[08:58] Momo
    Isn't that fancy of them?
[09:01] Man
    Let's see, what's this?
[09:03] Man
    "My name is Paul."
[09:05] Man
    "Santa Claus, do you really exist?
[09:08] Man
    I've never gotten a present from you."
[09:12] Momo
    Paul's letter...
[09:15] Sind
    I see. So the postal workers write
    replies on behalf of Santa Claus!
[09:22] Pipil
    What a heartwarming story!
[09:25] Mocha
    Yeah!
[09:25] Momo
    But don't you think the real Santa
    should be reading those letters?
[09:30] Mocha
    But who's going to deliver them?
[09:32] Mocha
    The real Santa is at the North Pole, right?
[09:35] Momo
    Just leave that part to me!
[09:42] Man
    Tomorrow's Christmas Eve at last.
[09:44] Man
    We're gonna be busy.
[09:54] Momo
    Come on! Hurry!
[09:57] Momo
    Remember, we're just taking the letters.
[10:00] Momo
    Don't get them confused with the Christmas
    cards the postal workers wrote.
[10:06] Momo
    It might get a bit cramped on
    the Gourmet Poppo at this rate.
[10:10] Trio
    We know!
[10:11] Momo
    Stealing letters might not
    be a nice thing, but...
[10:14] Pipil
    We still have to do it!
[10:16] Sind
    We need to get them to their
    proper recipient, after all!
[10:19] Momo
    That's right.
[10:23] Momo
    All right, start the
    journey to the North Pole!
[10:41] Momo
    We're definitely at the North Pole.
[10:43] Momo
    Hey, where is Santa's secret workshop?
[10:46] Sind
    "An iceberg that shines with rainbow
    colors in the moonlight."
[10:49] Mocha
    Over there!
[10:54] Momo
    I think that's it!
[10:55] Mocha
    You think the real Santa is there?
[10:56] Momo
    Okay!
[11:12] sign
    Fairy Princess
[11:12] sign
    Minky Momo
[11:25] Momo
    Santa Claus! Santa Claus!
[11:31] Momo
    Santa Claus!
[11:36] Momo
    That's strange? Isn't he home?
[11:38] Mocha
    What is that thing?
[11:39] Sind
    It's covered in dust!
[11:44] Santa
    That's a machine that makes
    presents for children.
[11:50] Momo
    Are you... Santa Claus?
[11:54] Santa
    I am indeed. And who might you be?
[11:56] Momo
    Oh, I'm Minky Momo!
[11:59] Santa
    Minky Momo?
[12:00] Santa
    That name sounds familiar...
[12:02] Santa
    You're not connected to
    Fenarinarsa, by chance?
[12:05] Pipil
    Not by chance at all!
[12:06] Pipil
    Momo is the princess of Fenarinarsa!
[12:09] Santa
    Oh, is that you?
[12:12] Momo
    Sorry I don't look the part.
[12:14] Santa
    I see. So Fenarinarsa's awakened
    from its thousand-year slumber?
[12:18] King
    Yes, we have! We're wide awake here!
[12:21] King
    Gosh, Mr. Santa's so cute!
[12:24] Queen
    And what are you doing now?
[12:26] Queen
    You should act more your age.
[12:27] Queen
    And seeing Santa after so long... he looks
    a bit under the weather, doesn't he?
[12:33] King
    Indeed!
[12:36] Santa
    Even after Fenarinarsa went
    to sleep a thousand years ago,
[12:40] Santa
    I went on sending presents to children.
[12:43] Santa
    I remember those days...
[12:45] Santa
    I had this machine working at full
    tilt to make presents for children!
[12:50] Santa
    But it didn't last for long.
[12:54] Santa
    Little by little, as they
    lost their hopes and dreams,
[13:00] Santa
    and Fenarinarsa moved away,
    my machine's power waned.
[13:08] Santa
    Now only that one part still works.
[13:15] Mocha
    Just that part?
[13:16] Pipil
    That won't be enough for
    children all over the world!
[13:20] Santa
    And at some point, someone
    decided that Santa had to
[13:23] Santa
    deliver presents on December 24th.
[13:26] Santa
    I can't make it all the way
    around the world in 24 hours!
[13:29] Sind
    Sounds sincerely exhausting!
[13:31] Santa
    I'll be out of a job very soon...
[13:34] Momo
    That's not true!
[13:36] Momo
    There are so many children
    out there who believe in you!
[13:39] Santa
    Where?
[13:40] Momo
    All over the world! Tons of them!
[13:42] Santa
    Tons of them?!
[13:43] Momo
    Yes!
[13:44] Santa
    But I'm getting up in years...
[13:47] Momo
    You've always been an old man, haven't you?
[13:51] Santa
    That's right!
[13:52] Momo
    Hey, come this way!
[13:54] Santa
    What is it?
[13:56] Momo
    Look!
[13:59] Santa
    What's this?
[14:00] Momo
    These are all letters to Santa!
[14:02] Momo
    And there's more! Come on!
[14:07] Momo
    Ta-da-dah!
[14:08] Momo
    Look!
[14:11] Santa
    What are these?
[14:12] Momo
    They're all letters to Santa!
[14:15] Momo
    Look!
[14:16] Momo
    These children all believe in you!
[14:19] Santa
    They believe in me?
[14:23] Momo
    What do you think?
[14:24] Santa
    These are...
[14:25] Santa
    These are all letters to me?
[14:28] Momo
    That's right!
[14:29] Momo
    And these are just the
    ones from Somewhere City!
[14:32] Momo
    There's got to be way more out in the world!
[14:34] Santa
    Out in the world?
[14:36] Santa
    All these letters... all these dreams...
[14:39] Santa
    They could re-power my machine!
[14:42] Santa
    All right!
[14:55] Santa
    Now, be reborn, dream machine!
[15:26] All
    Yes!
[15:31] Santa
    It's running at full power!
[15:55] Santa
    I might not get presents to
    all the children of the world,
[15:58] Santa
    but I'll do the best I can!
[16:10] Santa
    All right, here I go!
[16:14] Santa
    Well, I'm off!
[16:16] Santa
    Hi-ho!
[16:32] Pipil
    Santa's back!
[16:33] Mocha
    That's great!
[16:34] Momo
    Okay, let's help out too!
[16:36] Both
    What?!
[16:37] Momo
    I mean, there are a lot of
    kids who don't get presents!
[16:48] Momo
    And then, the night of Christmas Eve arrived!
[16:52] Sind
    But why did you transform
    into Phantom Thief Red Cat?
[16:54] Momo
    Because...
[16:56] Momo
    Santa Claus isn't much of a girl's costume.
[17:00] Momo
    Besides, burglars and Santa Claus
    both have to sneak into homes!
[17:04] Mocha
    That doesn't seem quite right.
[17:18] Otto
    I've been waiting for you.
[17:21] Lupinne
    The present I promised you.
[17:23] Otto
    Thanks. But I don't want it.
[17:27] Lupinne
    Why not?
[17:28] Otto
    There's a kid who needs a
    present way more than me.
[17:31] Otto
    He's never even gotten a present before!
[17:35] Lupinne
    What's his name?
[17:36] Otto
    Paul.
[17:38] Momo
    They're all so kind!
[17:41] Otto
    Please, Santa. Will you?
[17:43] Lupinne
    Very well.
[17:51] Lupinne
    Taken up thievery again, Red Cat?
[17:54] Momo
    Who are you? You're not the real Santa Claus!
[17:59] Lupinne
    It's me.
[18:00] Momo
    Phantom Thief Lupinne!
[18:01] Momo
    Then the Santa that boy saw...
[18:04] Lupinne
    Indeed. One must keep a promise
    to a child, after all.
[18:12] Lupinne
    The boy lives here?
[18:13] Momo
    Yes. But I'll give him his present.
[18:18] Lupinne
    No, I was asked to do it.
[18:20] Momo
    But...
[18:21] Lupinne
    Who are you?!
[18:21] Lupinne
    What are you doing here?
[18:25] Momo
    Santa?!
[18:51] Man
    Wh-What...
[18:53] Man
    ...in the world...
[18:54] Man
    ...is going on...
[18:54] Man
    ...here?
[19:00] Santa
    What are you doing, my fellows?
[19:03] Santa
    I've already delivered this boy his present!
[19:07] Santa
    Lots of kids haven't gotten presents!
[19:09] Santa
    You all go elsewhere!
[19:11] Santa
    Well, goodbye! Hi-ho!
[19:23] Man
    Can it be...
[19:24] Momo
    The postal worker!
[19:27] Man
    I can't believe it!
[19:28] Momo
    The man handing out fliers!
[19:30] Papa
    But how did you all...
[19:32] Momo
    Papa—
[19:34] Man
    Well, we heard the boy here had
    never gotten a present, so...
[19:38] Papa
    I thought the same thing.
[19:40] Man
    But I guess Santa Claus really does exist!
[19:43] Lupinne
    There can be as many
    Santa Clauses as we want.
[19:46] Papa
    Good point. I remember seeing
    Santa myself as a child...
[20:26] King
    We did it, we did it!
[20:28] King
    It's the December birthstone, the turquoise!
[20:31] Queen
    It means success!
[20:33] King
    Fenarinarsa should be returning
    to Earth very soon!
[20:38] Queen
    Maybe.
[20:39] Queen
    But I believe this jewel
[20:41] Queen
    is a wonderful present given to
    us by Minky Momo and Santa Claus!
[20:46] King
    Oh, a present!
[20:47] King
    I want one, too!
[20:57] Santa
    I'll keep sending presents
[21:01] Santa
    to all the children of the
    world, all year round!
[21:04] Santa
    Hi-ho!
