    Long, long ago...
[01:38] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:43] Narrator
    A girl came from a dreamland
    far beneath the ocean.
[01:48] Narrator
    Her goal was supposed to be
    to restore the lost dreams
[01:53] Narrator
    to the people of the surface...
[01:56] Narrator
    But would it work out?
[01:59] Narrator
    Oh, right! And her name was Minky Momo!

[02:28] Papa
    Look! There it is, Momo!
[02:31] Momo
    So many boats!
[02:43] Momo
    Which one did you rent?
[02:45] Papa
    That one!
[02:52] Momo
    That's it!
[02:53] Lupi
    It's so small and pretty!
[02:56] Papa
    Just be careful not to fall out.
[02:58] Momo
    I didn't know you could pilot a yacht!
[03:02] Papa
    Don't go underestimating me, now!
[03:05] Papa
    I've read tons of seafaring adventure novels!
[03:10] Papa
    From The Voyages of Columbus to Treasure 
    Island to Two Years' Vacation!
[03:15] Mama
    And Captain Ahab's white whale!
[03:19] Mama
    Oh, my creative juices are flowing!
[03:23] Papa
    Dear, aren't you getting on?
[03:25] Mama
    No, I'm going to stay here and
    write my seafaring adventure novel!
[03:30] Momo
    Papa, hurry! Hurry!
[03:32] Papa
    Hold on, now.
[03:34] Papa
    First, release the mooring rope...
[03:37] Papa
    Let's see...
[03:40] Papa
    Okay, so this goes like this, and...
[03:45] Papa
    There! It came loose!
[03:50] Papa
    Wait up!
[03:56] Papa
    Oh dear, oh dear!
[04:01] Papa
    Oh, dear...
[04:04] Papa
    Momo! Come back!
[04:07] Momo
    This is easy! See you later!
[04:11] Papa
    Nicely done. She really is my daughter...
[04:17] Mama
    I have my title!
[04:19] Mama
    "The Man Who Was Left Behind." That's it!
[04:34] Momo
    This feels great!
[04:36] King
    Yacht it up!
[04:39] King
    Lucky them! I wanna play
    under the real sky, too!
[04:43] Queen
    Yes, with the sun beaming down, the
    white sand, the fragrant salt wind...
[04:50] Queen
    Salt wind...
[04:52] Queen
    Oh? The salt wind...
[04:56] Momo
    The wind stopped.
[04:58] Momo
    Yachts can't move unless the wind's blowing.
[05:01] Momo
    Aren't you going to do something?
SIGN    Now's the best time for an afternoon nap!
[05:06] Momo
    That's no fun...
[05:13] Momo
    I'm gonna try swimming to that island!
[05:17] Lupi
    But it's so far away!
[05:18] Momo
    That's okie-dokie!
[05:20] Momo
    I'll swim my way there!
[05:22] Momo
    Chant abriged, become a swimmer!
[05:31] Momo
    You know about mermaid tails?
[05:34] Momo
    I hear you can swim really fast with these!
[05:36] Lupi
    You could beat even Olympic athletes, I bet!
[05:44] Lupi
    Momo, wait!
[05:47] Chami
    She's so fast!
SIGN    Yeah, she looks just like a mermaid!
[06:00] Cap
    Anything out of the ordinary?
[06:04] Cap
    What is it?
[06:05] Man
    M-M-M...
[06:06] Cap
    Hand it over!
[06:09] Cap
    There it is!
[06:12] Cap
    Your Highness! The mermaid has appeared!
[06:15] Prince
    What?!
[06:19] Prince
    At last... She's come at last.
[06:31] Lupi
    Momo, something's wrong!
[06:33] Lupi
    They're coming toward us!
[06:37] Lupi
    You think maybe we're not
    allowed to swim here?
[06:41] Momo
    It's okie-dokie. They can't catch me!
[06:47] Man
    Captain! She's swimming at incredible speeds!
[06:51] Cap
    Incredible...
[06:55] Momo
    See? Can't catch me!
[06:56] Lupi
    Momo, emergency! In front of you!
[07:00] Momo
    That's not fair!
[07:12] Momo
    This isn't good.
[07:16] Prince
    What are they doing? What if they hurt her?
[07:32] Prince
    She's just an ordinary girl.
[07:34] Cap
    Yes, though she looked like the real thing...
[07:38] Momo
    What real thing?
[07:41] Cap
    That's none of your business, little girl!
[07:43] Cap
    This is our kingdom's private
    beach, known as the Sekrit Sea.
[07:49] Cap
    You're not allowed here!
[07:51] Momo
    Well, I didn't know that!
[07:53] Cap
    Ignorance is no excuse!
[07:55] Prince
    Enough!
[07:56] Prince
    Continue your patrols.
[07:59] Cap
    If I may, Your Highness, I think
    the patrols may be pointless.
[08:05] Prince
    Why?
[08:06] Cap
    Mermaids don't really exist.
[08:10] Both
    Mermaids?!
[08:11] Prince
    I don't care if you don't believe, but I'll
    ask you to follow my orders regardless.
[08:16] Cap
    Yes, sir.
[08:20] Prince
    Sorry about that.
[08:21] Prince
    Can I serve you some tea as an apology?
[08:24] Prince
    With cake, of course.
[08:26] Both
    Yes!
[08:27] Momo
    Lucky-dee-da!
[08:33] Momo
    What a beautiful mansion!
[08:35] Prince
    Yes, and it has a long history.
[08:39] Momo
    What?
[08:41] Momo
    It's a mermaid!
[08:43] Prince
    It's a picture of a legend
    passed down in our kingdom.
[08:48] Momo
    A legend?
[08:49] Prince
    Yes. It happened many
    hundreds of years ago...
[08:54] Prince
    A prince was drowning in the sea nearby.
[09:02] Prince
    He was saved by the mermaid.
[09:06] Prince
    But he became convinced he was actually
    saved by the passing princess
[09:10] Prince
    of a neighboring country,
[09:13] Prince
    and married her instead.
[09:16] Prince
    The mermaid even took on human
    form to try to approach him,
[09:21] Prince
    but he never learned that she was
    the one who really saved him.
[09:26] Prince
    In her sorrow, she threw herself into the sea
[09:31] Prince
    turned into sea foam, and disappeared.
[09:36] Prince
    That's how the story goes.
[09:38] Momo
    So was that prince your ancestor?
[09:40] Prince
    Yes. But...
[09:46] Momo
    Goodness me! So many!
[09:48] Prince
    Ever since people learned I've
    been looking for the mermaid,
[09:51] Prince
    I've been the subject of a lot of pranks.
[09:55] Lupi
    Oh, how awful!
[09:58] Prince
    I understand wanting to tease me about it.
[10:01] Prince
    Not even my own advisors believe me.
[10:03] Prince
    I never believed in the story, either...
[10:06] Prince
    Until I met her.
[10:08] Momo
    You've met a mermaid, Your Highness?!
[10:11] Prince
    Yes.

    Embracing Dreams
[10:29] Prince
    Yes, I met the mermaid, just once.
[10:34] Prince
    In the sea right here...
    when I was a child...
[10:42] Prince
    I got sick of the grown-ups' boring party
    and slipped out to the sea on my own.
[11:45] Prince
    I've never been able to forget her.
[11:49] Lupi
    Oh, then it was love at first sight!
[11:53] Prince
    But though I've waited and searched
    for her, all I've found are fakes.
[11:58] Momo
    I'm sure there's something
    keeping her from seeing you!
[12:03] Prince
    You talk like you know a lot about mermaids.
[12:06] Momo
    Of course I do!
[12:08] Momo
    The mermaids come to Marinarsa all
    the time, teach me songs, and...
[12:13] Prince
    Marinarsa?
[12:16] Momo
    Oh, well...
[12:17] Momo
    Anyway, as long as you believe, I'm sure
    the mermaid will come see you eventually!
[12:23] Prince
    I hope so.
[12:25] Prince
    I'm not sure, sometimes.
[12:27] Prince
    Maybe it was just a trick of the moonlight.
[12:32] Prince
    And the mermaid in the legend was an
    adult, but the one I saw was a child.
[12:40] King
    Dee-da!
[12:41] King
    That was the mother mermaid!
[12:44] Queen
    The one the prince met was her daughter.
[12:48] King
    What a mess!
[12:50] Queen
    The mermaid's kingdom met the same
    fate as Marinarsa, didn't it?
[12:56] King
    That's right.
[12:58] King
    Ever since humans stopped
    believing in mermaids,
[13:01] King
    they've hid themselves deep in the ocean!
[13:13] Mermaid
    Yes? Mermaid House...
[13:17] Mermaid
    Oh, there's a prince who's saying that?
[13:19] Mermaid
    But there's no way my daughter
    went up to the human world...
[13:34] Mermaid
    He's really been waiting for me?
[13:49] Mermaid
    Mother?
[13:51] Mermaid
    The human world no longer believes in dreams.
[13:54] Mermaid
    We mermaids decided we
    wouldn't go to the surface
[13:58] Mermaid
    until they believed in dreams again.
[14:02] Mermaid
    You went there in secret, didn't you?
[14:05] Mermaid
    I'm sorry.
[14:07] Mermaid
    You're going to end up heartbroken,
    the same way I was.
[14:13] Mermaid
    But I suppose there's no need
    to worry about that now...
[14:17] Mermaid
    The moonlight path is
    no longer traversible...
SIGN    That's a tricky one.
SIGN    I don't think the mermaids can  come to the human world anymore.
[14:29] Chamo
    Does that mean he's just
    gonna have to keep waiting?
[14:33] Momo
    That's just too sad, isn't it?
[14:37] Lupi
    Momo, maybe you should
    become the mermaid for him!
[14:42] Momo
    Maybe I should!
[14:47] Papa
    Momo! It's time to go home!
[14:53] Momo
    We can't go home yet!
[14:55] Papa
    Wait, come back here!
[14:57] Papa
    Dear, say something!
[14:59] Mama
    She's right! We can't go home yet!
[15:02] Mama
    What is the man who was
    left behind going to do?!
[15:05] Mama
    I have to find out!
[15:07] Papa
    So, what am I supposed to do now?
[15:14] Chamo
    Momo! Get to it, quick!
[15:16] Momo
    On my way!
[15:18] Momo
    Become a mermaid with a Minky—
SIGN    That's it!
SIGN    Even for mermaids at the bottom of the ocean,
SIGN    there's a day when they can  return to the human world!
SIGN    Once a year, on a full moon night,
SIGN    the moon's gravitational  pull opens a moonlight path!
[15:35] Chamo
    A full moon night?
[15:41] Momo
    You mean...
[15:48] Momo
    Tonight?
SIGN    Looks like.
[15:51] Momo
    Well, then, that means the path
    to the mermaid world is close by!
[15:57] Momo
    Okay!
[16:01] Mermaid
    Momo... Momo!
[16:12] Mermaid
    Momo! Momo!
[16:14] Momo
    It's coming from under there.
[16:16] Momo
    That's it! This sunken ship blocked the path!
[16:21] Mermaid
    Momo, please! Hurry!
[16:24] Momo
    Gotta move it!
[16:31] Momo
    Momo! Go, go! Push, push!
[16:34] Momo
    Rah, rah! Momo! Fight!
[16:36] Momo
    One more push!
[16:38] Queen
    There's no way she can move it.
[16:50] Prince
    It's the same. Just like that night!
[16:52] Momo
    Your Highness!
[16:54] Prince
    Momo?
[16:55] Momo
    Come with me! I need your help!
[16:59] Momo
    The mermaid is close!
[17:03] Prince
    The mermaid?
[17:05] Cap
    Y-Your Highness!
[17:22] Prince
    I can breathe?
[17:24] Momo
    There's a mysterious power
    that helps people who dream!
[17:28] Momo
    Yes, let's go!
[17:40] Momo
    Keep going! It's gotta move!
[17:43] Prince
    Is it really not possible?
[18:20] Mermaid
    Almost there!
[18:22] Mermaid
    This is only for tonight.
[18:25] Mermaid
    Yes, Mother!
[18:36] Momo
    We did it!
[18:42] Momo
    Sleeping at the bottom of the blue ocean
[18:53] Momo
    Pearlescent dreams
[18:56] Momo
    Mermaid tears
[19:01] Momo
    And my love
[19:02] Prince
    It's you, isn't it?
[19:04] Mermaid
    Yes.
[19:14] Momo
    Marine, marine, marine
[19:16] Momo
    My shell mirror is bursting with my feelings
[19:28] Momo
    Marine, marine, marine
[19:30] Momo
    Prince of my dreams, spread
    your wings and embrace me!
[19:42] Momo
    The beating of my heart is like a prism,
[19:46] Momo
    sparkling and shining
[19:51] Momo
    Diffusing between the waves
[19:53] Momo
    (I've been waiting in
    the water all this time)
[19:56] Momo
    Use your kiss to break the spell
[20:02] Prince
    I want you to stay with me forever.
[20:02] Momo
    Then I'll wake up, a wonderful lady
[20:06] Prince
    I want to, also.
[20:09] Prince
    Then stay.
[20:10] Prince
    But I can't.
[20:12] Prince
    Why not?
[20:13] Prince
    I came here to see you,
[20:16] Prince
    but my kind can't live in a
    world without hopes and dreams.
[20:21] Prince
    I will protect you!
[20:22] Mermaid
    No...
[20:23] Mermaid
    Even now, I'm just an illusion
    made by the moonlight.
[20:27] Mermaid
    To be here for real, I would need
    the power of many people's dreams.
[20:33] Prince
    Then... I'll never see you again?
[20:36] Mermaid
    That's up to you humans.
[20:39] Prince
    I see.
[20:42] Prince
    I suppose so.
[20:43] Prince
    I'm sure we'll make that world
    happen someday. And then...
[20:47] Prince
    Yes, we'll be together forever.
[21:06] Mermaid
    Thank you, Momo!
[21:08] Momo
    Take care!
[21:09] Mermaid
    Yes, you too!
[21:15] Prince
    Farewell. Let's meet again, someday.
[21:50] Queen
    The day they meet again will be the
    day Marinarsa rises to the surface!
[21:56] King
    I'll practice my surfing until then!
[22:00] King
    Riding the waves large and small!
[22:03] King
    Well, darling? Pretty cool, eh?
[22:04] King
    Whoops, I fell off!
[22:07] Queen
    But I have a feeling that
    day is a long way away!
[22:11] King
    La-dee-da...
[22:21] Papa
    Momo! It's time to head home!
[22:25] Momo
    Okay!
