[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!
SIGN    The North Country Legend
[02:07] Momo
    "The North Country Legend."
[02:15] Momo
    Good morning, Papa, Mama!
[02:18] Momo
    Oh?
[02:18] Momo
    Heading out?
[02:20] Papa
    Good morning!
[02:21] Papa
    We were invited to a joint conference
    at the Somewhere National Academy!
[02:25] Mama
    It's quite an honor!
[02:27] Mama
    So please watch the house for us, Momo!
[02:31] Mama
    Heading out together...
[02:33] Papa
    Just like when we were newlyweds!
[02:35] Chamo
    Still a lovey-dovey middle-aged couple...
SIGN    Good grief.
SIGN    What is it, Momo?
[02:43] Momo
    You can't keep Momo tied down!
[02:53] Momo
    Gourmet Poppo, move out!
[03:13] Chamo
    What's that thing?
[03:15] Chamo
    It looks like a stone, but...
[03:17] Chamo
    If they're making that big a deal about
    it, it's probably more than that.
[03:21] Momo
    Irene from the Xenobiology
    Research Institute!
[03:24] Momo
    Momo, look!
[03:26] Momo
    Randall the Fairy Hunter?!
[03:28] Momo
    What are they all here for?
[03:31] Gowell
    Attention, all!
[03:33] Gowell
    I am Gowell of the Somewhere
    Energy Development Company.
[03:37] Gowell
    Now, this is the F-13,
    discovered in the North Country
[03:41] Gowell
    on our latest energy
    development expedition!
[03:44] Gowell
    We call it that because it was
    discovered on Friday the 13th!
[03:47] Gowell
    You can also call it "Friday," if you like!
[03:54] Gowell
    To cut to the chase, I called you here
[03:57] Gowell
    because we have no idea what the F-13 is!
[04:01] Irene
    A completely unknown substance?
[04:05] Irene
    I'll freeze it!
[04:07] Gowell
    As you can see, it looks like a rock,
[04:09] Gowell
    but its energy signature suggests
    it might be some kind of life form.
[04:14] Randall
    Some kind of life form? Could it be...
[04:17] Randall
    A fairy egg?!
[04:19] Gowell
    You, who pioneer new avenues
[04:21] Gowell
    in energy production by identifying
    what this substance is
[04:25] Gowell
    will receive my full support
    in whatever field you pursue!
[04:29] Gowell
    In other words, you're
    gonna rake in the dough!
[04:35] Gowell
    Which of you illustrious luminaries
    will illuminate the illusory?!
[04:39] Gowell
    You'll rake in the dough!
[04:41] Momo
    Illustrator to illuminate... illusory...
[04:47] Gowell
    No need to worry, everyone!
    It's an ordinary blackout.
[04:51] Gowell
    The lights will come back soon, don't worry!
[04:55] Gowell
    See? There they are.
[04:57] Gowell
    Now, please begin studying the F-13
    to find out what it really is!
[05:01] Gowell
    The F-13 is waiting for—
[05:06] Gowell
    I-It's gone!
[05:07] Gowell
    Don't they know how much time I spend
    digging up the energies of the future?!
[05:17] Randall
    The fairy egg is gone.
    This is an emergency...
[05:19] Irene
    My beloved "thing I don't understand"!
[05:25] Randall
    Wait, are you Irene, the lady
    who freezes everything?!
[05:29] Irene
    And you're Randall, the man who would
    go anywhere in pursuit of fairies?!
[05:41] Chamo
    That joint conference was nonsense.
SIGN    They've got great equipment and funding for whatever field you might research, so...
[05:49] Lupi
    What a disappointment.
[05:51] Lupi
    They weren't studying that rock
    because they love it, then.
[05:57] Gowell
    You there, mysterious craft! Stop at once!
[06:00] Gowell
    We believe you escaped with the F-13!
[06:03] Trio
    What?!
SIGN    That's not possible!
[06:05] Girl
    Run, quickly!
[06:07] Girl
    What are you doing? Hurry!
[06:08] Momo
    Hey, the F-13!
[06:10] Gowell
    Stop now! Stop or we'll make you stop!
[06:15] Momo
    Wow, listen to him.
[06:17] Momo
    Who are you, anyway?
[06:19] Girl
    Never mind, just get away!
[06:20] Momo
    Y-Yes!
[06:22] Gowell
    Hey, they're running away!
[06:24] Gowell
    Open fire, then!
[06:35] Momo
    How far are they gonna chase us?
[06:37] Girl
    The weather system! Hide
    in the weather system!
[06:39] Momo
    The what?
[06:40] Girl
    In the clouds, darn it!
[06:42] Momo
    Sorry...
[06:56] Momo
    We're safe.
[06:57] Girl
    Thank you. You saved me!
[07:00] Momo
    Okay, so who are you, anyway?
[07:02] Lilith
    My name's Lilith.
[07:04] Lilith
    I'm the descendent of the stone's protectors.
[07:06] Momo
    The stone's protectors?
[07:08] Lilith
    Our ancestors have protected
    this stone for generations.
[07:12] Lilith
    But...
[07:15] Lilith
    That company's people came and said
    they were "developing the land."
[07:20] Lilith
    They began digging up the
    land around our village,
[07:22] Lilith
    and stole the rock from us!
[07:28] Momo
    I see...
SIGN    So you came here to get the rock back?
[07:39] Momo
    I-I just heard a beautiful bell
    ring... from inside the rock.
[07:44] Chamo
    I didn't hear anything.
SIGN    Me either.
[07:47] Lupi
    Only Momo heard it, then?
[07:50] Lilith
    Anyway, I'm sorry for the trouble, but would
    you mind taking me back to my village?
[07:54] Momo
    Okay, but where is it?
[07:56] Lilith
    In the North Country, of course!
[08:02] Momo
    It's Randall and Irene!
[08:04] Randall
    Girl! Tell us why you ran off with the F-13!
[08:32] Randall
    Where are we?
[08:37] Randall
    Goodness me.
[08:39] Irene
    Nothing... there's nothing to freeze!
[08:42] Irene
    What a wonderful world!
[08:45] Randall
    Awfully cold, though, isn't it?
[08:59] Momo
    Lilith. What are those flags?
[09:01] Lilith
    They're a prayer.
[09:03] Momo
    A prayer?
[09:04] Lilith
    A prayer for everyone in
    this world to be happy.
[09:10] Lilith
    We write its words on flags and
    let them flap in the wind
[09:13] Lilith
    to carry the prayer to everyone in the world.
[09:29] Lilith
    That's the result of the
    company digging here.
[09:32] Lilith
    They did this to our land...
[09:36] Lilith
    Let's go see the elder.
[09:37] Lilith
    I'm sure he'll be happy
    to know the stone is back!
[09:41] Momo
    Okay!
[09:45] King
    It looks like the prayers of the North
    Country have reached us as well.
[09:49] Queen
    I feel so refreshed!
[09:52] King
    When we send out prayers
    from under the sea...
[09:54] King
    We have it tapped out in the
    slap of all kinds of waves!
[09:57] King
    Yes, and those waves reach the shore
    and the people of the surface!
[10:02] King
    And then they wave goodbye...
[10:05] Girl
    Give it back, Big Brother!
[10:12] Elder
    Long, long ago, it is
    said that our ancestors
[10:16] Elder
    buried that stone in the frozen ground
    to put a certain tree to rest.
[10:23] Momo
    Why did they put the tree to rest?
[10:25] Elder
    It was growing... tall enough
    to reach the heavens.
[10:29] Lupi
    Should it not have grown?
[10:31] Elder
    If it became too big, it would suck up
    all the nutrients in the land for itself,
[10:37] Elder
    all the other trees and plants would die,
[10:39] Elder
    and the insects, birds, and
    animals would all die soon after.
[10:44] Elder
    In order to let other forms of life thrive,
[10:46] Elder
    they placed the tree in eternal
    slumber, apologized to it,
[10:50] Elder
    and continue to guard the land
    where the stone is buried.
[10:53] Elder
    That is our happy way of life.
[10:57] Chamo
    Why did they have to bury the
    stone to keep the tree asleep?
[11:00] Lupi
    Maybe it sings a lullaby!
[11:02] Lupi
    Go to sleep!
[11:04] Chamo
    No one could sleep through
    your lullabies, Lupipi.
[11:06] Chamo
    How rude!
[11:09] Momo
    But I feel like I heard it...
[11:12] Momo
    A sound like a bell...
[11:19] Papa
    Dear! The F-13 isn't just a rock!
[11:22] Papa
    I found out by examining the
    remnants left on the dais!
[11:25] Momo
    Is it that amazing, then?
[11:27] Papa
    Yes, it's extremely amazing!
[11:30] Papa
    I want to find out what it really is!
[11:33] Mama
    I understand how you feel.
[11:36] Mama
    Let's go to the North Country!
[11:37] Papa
    Dear... you are my greatest partner.
[11:42] Mama
    Dear... you are my greatest partner as well.
[11:50] Gowell
    We'll head for the North
    Country tomorrow at daybreak!
[11:53] Gowell
    We must retrieve the F-13 at all costs...
[11:55] Gowell
    By digging up that entire village!

[12:16] Lilith
    You said you heard a bell
    from the stone, right?
[12:19] Momo
    Yeah.
[12:19] Momo
    But it might've been my imagination.
[12:25] Lilith
    This was made from a piece of the stone.
[12:26] Lilith
    They say it rings in the moonlight.
[12:29] Lilith
    Wow!
[12:30] Lilith
    You hear it?
[12:33] Momo
    No...
[12:34] Lilith
    Really?
[12:36] Lilith
    You take it. As thanks for saving me.
[12:39] Momo
    But isn't it important to you?
[12:41] Lilith
    It's all right. I've never heard it, anyway.
[12:51] Randall
    So cold...
[12:52] Irene
    Cold? Why?
[12:54] Randall
    You don't feel cold?
[12:56] Irene
    A lover of ice like myself would never feel
    cold under such tepid circumstances!
[13:01] Irene
    Wait for me... I'll freeze
    you over, unknown stone!
[13:11] Elder
    Under the watchful eyes of our distant
    ancestors and the spirits of sky and earth,
[13:20] Elder
    I return the stone to the ice, to
    protect the great tree's slumber.
[14:03] Gowell
    Melt it all and dig it all up!
[14:05] Gowell
    Then we'll all rake in the dough!
[14:09] Lilith
    Hey!
[14:11] Lilith
    Momo!
[14:11] Trio
    Momo!
[14:14] Gowell
    That's the way, that's the way!
[14:16] Momo
    Stop it! Why are you doing this awful thing?
[14:19] Gowell
    My company bought this land
    from the Somewhere Republic!
[14:22] Gowell
    You can't complain about it!
[14:24] Momo
    This land belongs to the people who
    have lived here for generations!
[14:28] Momo
    The way you're ruining it...
    what do you expect them to do?!
[14:38] Man
    Found it!
[14:40] Man
    Hot!
[14:44] Momo
    The sound of the bell!
[14:45] Lilith
    That's...
[14:59] Momo
    The tree! That stone was the
    seed of the legendary tree!
[15:02] Gowell
    What incredible growth!
[15:04] Gowell
    If I could harness that energy...
[15:06] Gowell
    I'd rake in the dough!
[15:09] Momo
    This is no time to be thinking of that!
[15:11] Momo
    That tree drains all the nutrients
    from the land to grow bigger!
[15:23] Lilith
    The village!
[15:32] Lilith
    Give me that!
[15:33] Lilith
    H-Hey!
[15:42] Momo
    Lilith!
[15:48] Lilith
    It's so powerful...
[15:52] Gowell
    I-Incredible! It even
    channels fire into power!
[15:56] Gowell
    This is truly neo energy!
[15:59] Gowell
    And I have exclusive rights to it!
[16:02] Gowell
    I'm gonna rake in the dough!
[16:04] Gowell
    Okay, let's make it even bigger!
[16:10] Gowell
    Make it bigger and bigger!
[16:12] Gowell
    Let's rake in the dough!
[16:17] Momo
    This is horrible...
[16:19] Gowell
    Fire!
[16:23] Gowell
    Get bigger!
[16:29] Gowell
    It's freezing...
[16:31] Gowell
    Why?!
[16:37] Randall
    Fairy Hunter Randall has arrived!
[16:40] Momo
    Randall! Irene!
[16:42] Irene
    And we're just getting started!
[16:45] Irene
    I'll freeze you solid!
[17:05] Gowell
    The energy... the energy's breaking down...
[17:08] Gowell
    I'm not raking in anything!
[17:13] Irene
    That man. All he talks
    about is "raking in dough."
[17:18] Irene
    He's far too easy to understand. Even
    freezing him feels like a waste.
[17:22] Irene
    Oh, the beauty of my ice has been tainted!
[17:42] Man
    The stone we'd been protecting
    that whole time was that monster?
[17:46] Man
    Let it go back to sleep in the frozen ground!
[17:50] Elder
    Yes, forever and ever!
[17:51] Man
    No need to apologize to
    that horrible monster!
[18:05] King
    How troubling.
[18:07] King
    The feelings of the villagers
    have changed so much!
[18:11] Queen
    Yes, they now seem to fully hate that tree.
[18:22] (Flashback) Elder
    In order to let other forms of life thrive,
[18:24] (Flashback) Elder
    they placed the tree in eternal
    slumber, apologized to it,
[18:28] (Flashback) Elder
    and continue to guard the land
    where the stone is buried.
[18:30] (Flashback) Elder
    That is our happy way of life.
[18:35] Lupi
    Momo? What's wrong?
[18:38] Momo
    I was thinking about that tree.
[18:41] Momo
    Is it really okay to leave things like this?
[18:43] Chamo
    Putting it to sleep was
    the only choice, right?
[18:46] Lupi
    It would be awful if it woke
    up! It needs to stay asleep.
[18:49] Lupi
    This is for the best.
[18:51] Momo
    No, not that part...
[18:54] Momo
    I mean the fact that the people
    of the village hate that tree now.
SIGN    It's understandable, after what they saw.
[19:01] Chamo
    Yeah!
[19:02] Lupi
    I think they're right.
[19:06] Momo
    The sounds of that bell were
    so beautiful, though...
[19:12] Momo
    Do you think Lilith hates it now, too?
[19:16] Lilith
    Yes, I hate it!
[19:17] Lilith
    That awful tree should remain
    sleeping under the ice forever!
[19:21] Momo
    Lilith!
[19:23] Lilith
    I... I never want to hear that bell again!
[19:27] Momo
    Lilith!
[19:32] Momo
    Lilith?
[19:37] Momo
    I wonder what the tree is dreaming about...
[19:41] Chamo
    Making things die, creating trouble
    for the people of the village,
[19:44] Chamo
    and growing bigger and bigger?
[19:47] Momo
    You think? I want to have a dream
    of how that tree really feels!
[19:54] Momo
    Your true feelings... your true dreams...
[19:58] Momo
    Show them to us!
[20:04] Lilith
    The sound of that bell?
[20:10] Randall
    S-So cold...
[20:12] Randall
    C'mon. Let's go home already!
[20:15] Irene
    The frozen ground... I'll miss it so!
[20:20] Irene
    What is that?
[20:29] Irene
    Something else I don't understand!
[20:31] Randall
    D-Don't!
[20:46] Lilith
    This is the tree's dream?
[20:49] Elder
    Those are our ancient ancestors.
[20:52] Lilith
    "I want more people to hear the
    sound of that bell and be at ease."
[20:59] Lilith
    That's the only reason the
    tree wanted to get bigger?
[21:06] Elder
    But we have to put those feelings...
    that dream to sleep forever.
[21:19] Randall
    Do you want to freeze this dream, too?
[21:32] Lilith
    Momo...
[21:45] Lilith
    I'll treasure that tree's dream.
[21:48] Lilith
    And we'll keep on living
    with the dreaming tree...
[21:52] Lilith
    while remembering the sound of the bell.
[22:00] Papa
    Is this it?
[22:01] Mama
    This wire, maybe!
[22:12] Momo
    The wind is blowing in
    the North Country again.
[22:16] Momo
    Do you hear it?
[22:18] Momo
    The faint sound of the bell...
[22:20] Momo
    The sound of that bell the tree wants
    to let everyone hear, but can't...
