[01:36] Narrator
    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!
SIGN    Let's Be Geniuses!
[02:07] Momo
    "Let's Be Geniuses!"
[02:13] Mama
    Come on in!
[02:15] Both
    Welcome!
[02:20] Woman
    I'm sorry to drop in on you like this, but...
[02:24] Woman
    I finally found it! I've been
    longing to meet you, great scholar!
[02:27] Mama
    Scholar?
[02:29] Mama
    Well, I do write mystery novels...
[02:33] Woman
    Novels? What are you talking about?
[02:35] Woman
    The scholar I'm looking for
[02:37] Woman
    is the famous archaeologist who
    discovered the Shulympos Ring No. 5!
[02:43] Woman
    They aren't here, then?
[02:45] Mama
    Archaeologist?
[02:47] Mama
    Oh, you must mean my husband!
[02:50] Mama
    Great scholar dear, you have a visitor!
[02:53] Papa
    Oh, so your son is curious
    about the Shulympos Ring?
[02:57] Woman
    Not just Shulympos!
[02:59] Woman
    My son is very impressed by your work!
[03:02] Papa
    Oh, is he?
[03:04] Woman
    He's so impressed, he said he wants to
    become an archaeologist just like you!
[03:10] Woman
    Isn't that right, Chris?
[03:12] Chris
    Y-Yes, Mama.
[03:14] Papa
    Oh, that's wonderful!
[03:16] Papa
    Well, let's give him a treat!
[03:19] Papa
    Let's go to a museum and I'll
    show him my discoveries!
[03:23] Woman
    Oh, how lovely!
[03:24] Woman
    Will we also get to see the
    famous Shulympus Ring No. 5?
[03:28] Papa
    Of course!
[03:30] Papa
    Want to come, Momo?
[03:31] Momo
    You betcha!
[03:32] Papa
    Great! Strike while the iron is hot!
[03:34] Papa
    We'll be back later, dear.
[03:35] Mama
    Oh, that husband of mine.
[03:37] Mama
    He always acts this way when
    it comes to archaeology!
[03:41] Woman
    Does he, now? How good to hear.
[03:44] Papa
    All right, dear, see you later!
[03:47] Mama
    Have a good trip!
[03:50] Mama
    Honestly, he really does lose
    himself in his archaeology!
[03:55] King
    That's right, that's right!
[03:57] King
    If you took archaeology away from him,
[03:59] King
    he'd be like a kappa in the mountains!
[04:01] King
    A cockroach dropped in the water!
[04:03] King
    A dove with clipped wings, coo coo!
[04:05] Queen
    Or you without your "dee-da."
[04:10] King
    Dee-da!
[04:19] Papa
    Well, here's your long-awaited
    Shulympus Ring No. 5!
[04:24] Papa
    There are actually five Shulympus Rings.
[04:27] Papa
    Numbers 1 through 4
[04:30] Papa
    were already dug up elsewhere
    and displayed in other museums,
[04:34] Papa
    but No. 5 was said to be gone forever!
[04:39] Woman
    That's utterly brilliant!
[04:41] Woman
    Well, Chris?
[04:42] Woman
    Doesn't it make you want to
    be an archaeologist even more?
[04:45] Chris
    Yes, Mama...
[04:48] Woman
    Now, sir, I have one favor to ask of you...
[04:51] Papa
    What is it?
[04:52] Woman
    Would you let my son touch the ring?
[04:55] Papa
    B-But...
[04:57] Woman
    I want to really make a
    tangible impact on him!
[05:00] Woman
    On this red letter day where
    his dreams got their start!
[05:03] Papa
    R-Right...
[05:05] Woman
    Please, sir...
[05:10] Papa
    Very well.
[05:15] Papa
    The artifacts we extract from ruins
    belong to all of humanity, after all.
[05:18] Papa
    I actually wish we could let people
[05:19] Papa
    could interact with them
    without all this security,
[05:22] Papa
    but we do get people trying to
    steal them, so we really can't.
[05:27] Papa
    Go on, Chris! Touch it!
[05:30] Woman
    Thank you, sir!
[05:31] Woman
    So sorry about this.
[05:33] Papa
    Sorry? About what?
[05:37] Woman
    About this!
[05:42] Momo
    Papa!
SIGN    It's okay. It's just knock-out gas!
[05:46] Lupi
    Momo, what about them?
[05:49] Momo
    Wait up!
[05:52] Momo
    Get back here!
[05:55] Momo
    Wait!
[05:57] Chris
    Mama... th-that girl...
[06:00] Woman
    How enthusiastic of her!
[06:10] Man
    You dummy! Be careful!
[06:18] Woman
    Are you okay, Momo?
[06:20] Momo
    Y-Yes...
[06:23] Woman
    That's great.
[06:24] Woman
    You don't need to chase me. I'll
    be returning the ring later myself!
[06:28] Woman
    Let your father know that, too!
[06:31] Momo
    What?
[06:36] Papa
    Wait, what?
[06:38] Papa
    She's going to return it later?
[06:40] Momo
    Yeah... kind of a weird thief, right?
[06:44] Papa
    No, she can't do that!
[06:46] Momo
    What is it, Papa?
[06:48] Momo
    She's going to steal all the
    rings and put them on Chris!
[06:52] Momo
    What do you mean?
[06:54] Papa
    Long, long ago, in the country of Shulympus,
[06:57] Papa
    there were five extremely brilliant scholars.
[07:00] Papa
    The king was so proud of them,
    he gave them each a ring.
[07:06] Papa
    Those are the five rings of Shulympus!
[07:10] Papa
    Even back then, there was
    an ambitious mother
[07:12] Papa
    obsessed with her children's
    academic prowess.
[07:15] Papa
    Hoping to make her son
    a great scholar himself,
[07:18] Papa
    she borrowed the scholars' five
    rings and put them on her son.
[07:22] Papa
    What do you think happened?
[07:24] Papa
    Mysteriously, her son became
    extremely intelligent on the spot!
[07:29] Papa
    But also, but also...
[07:31] Papa
    He also took on the bad traits of the five!
[07:34] Momo
    What do you mean?
[07:36] Papa
    Stepping on others in pursuit of his field,
[07:40] Papa
    selfish, mean, doing anything
    to achieve his goals.
[07:43] Papa
    In the end, even deciding
    himself superior to the gods,
[07:47] Papa
    he fired giant arrows at the gods in the sky!
[07:51] Momo
    No way! What happened?!
[07:53] Papa
    Obviously they failed
    to reach the sky, and...
[07:57] Papa
    Shulympus was burned to a cinder
    and disappeared from history.
[08:01] Momo
    Sheesh...
[08:04] Papa
    Of course, that's just a legend.
[08:07] Momo
    And Chris might become a "scholar" like them?
[08:10] Papa
    Yes... though obviously,
    it seems hard to believe...
[08:18] Mama
    Yes? Stickaround Inn.
[08:20] Mama
    Yes, that's right...
[08:22] Mama
    What? More rings have been stolen?
[08:24] Mama
    Dear, Rings No. 1 through 3 have been stolen!
[08:28] Papa
    What?!
[08:29] Papa
    Which means the last one remaining
    is No. 4 in Nearby City!
[08:33] Momo
    Papa, I'm coming too!
[08:45] Momo
    Thank goodness! We're in time!
[08:57] Malinda
    Oh, it's you.
[08:59] Papa
    M-Malinda?
[09:01] Malinda
    Well? Does it suit me?
[09:05] Malinda
    I haven't worn it in ten years.
[09:08] Malinda
    I was worried how it would
    fit around the waist...
[09:10] Momo
    You were a professional thief?!
[09:12] Malinda
    Yes, I went straight for the sake of my son,
[09:15] Malinda
    but I used to be quite infamous...
[09:18] Malinda
    under the name Pinky Rabbit.
[09:20] Papa
    What? That beautiful legendary
    thief who'd never been caught?
[09:25] Malinda
    Oh, you flatter me!
[09:28] Momo
    Papa, this is no time for a chat!
[09:31] Papa
    Oh, right...
[09:33] Papa
    Malinda!
[09:34] Papa
    Please, return all the rings you stole!
[09:36] Malinda
    Really, this is no time to make demands.
[09:40] Papa
    Listen, if you put those rings on Chris,
    something awful will happen to him!
[09:45] Security
    There she is!
[09:46] Security
    Get back here! Stop!
[09:48] Malinda
    Sorry, but I just don't believe you.
[09:51] Malinda
    Ciao!
[09:55] Malinda
    I'll return them all soon!
[09:58] Momo
    Hey, wait!
[10:00] Momo
    It's all true!
[10:05] Comp
    Yes, now we'll study geography.
[10:08] Comp
    What is the name of this country?
[10:10] Chris
    USA.
[10:12] Comp
    This country?
[10:13] Chris
    England.
[10:14] Comp
    And this?
[10:17] Chris
    Why are there so many countries?
[10:21] Chris
    Plus a bunch of new ones form
    and go away every year...
[10:25] Chris
    I... I hate using a screen
    to study geography!
[10:32] Chris
    Computers should be used for games!
[10:35] Chris
    Chris!
[10:38] Chris
    I'm sorry, Mama! I really was studying...
[10:41] Malinda
    That's all fine! You can do
    whatever you want from now on!
[10:45] Malinda
    Starting today, you'll be a genius!
[10:49] Malinda
    Here, put these on!
[10:53] King
    La-dee-da, don't do it!
[10:55] King
    What's Momo doing?!
[10:57] Queen
    I understand how she feels, as a mother...
[11:01] Queen
    But those rings...

[11:14] Momo
    Miss Malinda!
[11:16] Papa
    Malinda!
[11:18] Momo
    Miss Malinda!
[11:20] Papa
    Any sign?
[11:21] Momo
    No...
[11:22] Momo
    But I do think she came this way.
[11:26] Momo
    Let's search a bit longer.
[11:27] Momo
    Sure.
[11:29] Momo
    Miss Malinda!
[11:31] Momo
    Malinda!
[11:36] Malinda
    Put these on, and you'll be a genius!
[11:40] Chris
    Mama...
[11:41] Malinda
    You'll never have to study again.
[11:53] Malinda
    Chris!
[12:08] Malinda
    Chris?
[12:13] Malinda
    Chris!
[12:14] Malinda
    Chris? Chris!
[12:20] Malinda
    Are you all right? Did you get hurt?
[12:23] Chris
    I'm just fine.
[12:25] Malinda
    That's wonderful!
[12:26] Malinda
    Then let's get started.
[12:28] Malinda
    I'll test you to see if
    you're really a genius!
[12:32] Chris
    Test?
[12:34] Chris
    You want to test me?
[12:39] Chris
    I don't need any of that.
[12:41] Chris
    I'll prove that I'm a genius right now!
[12:45] Chris
    Genius doesn't strike
    when you least expect it.
[12:47] Chris
    Actions speak louder than words!
[12:49] Chris
    The most productive spot in
    the house is the kitchen.
[12:52] Chris
    Marx didn't say that; I, Chris did!
[12:55] Chris
    This way!
[12:58] Chris
    Let's experiment.
[13:00] Chris
    Chris, what are you doing?
[13:02] Chris
    What do you think?
[13:04] Chris
    I'm making a bomb!
[13:06] Malinda
    A bomb?
[13:07] Malinda
    A bomb?!
[13:09] Malinda
    Genius comes as an explosion!
[13:11] Malinda
    Chris, stop it!
[13:13] Malinda
    Einstein and Nobel both started with bombs.
[13:19] Malinda
    A fine start.
[13:20] Malinda
    Genius is always on the march for greatness!
[13:23] Malinda
    Einstein and Nobel all made
    bombs after great thought.
[13:26] Malinda
    C-Chris?
[13:28] Malinda
    The knack to making delicious bombs...
[13:30] Malinda
    Hey, Chris...
[13:32] Malinda
    Load it up with everything you have,
[13:33] Malinda
    and abracadabra, nuclear fusion!
[13:39] Malinda
    Presto, change-o, nuclear fusion!
[13:41] Malinda
    Everything is nuclear fusion!
[13:54] Malinda
    Experiment successful! I'm such a genius!
[14:02] Comp
    Yes, now we'll study geography.
[14:04] Comp
    What is the name of this country?
[14:07] Chris
    Study geography? A genius like
    me can't study geography!
[14:12] Comp
    Wh-What is the name of this country?
[14:16] Chris
    Shut up! Geography is annoying
    because there's too many countries!
[14:20] Chris
    Yes! I, Chris, will rid
    this world of countries!
[14:25] Comp
    R-Rid the world of countries? H-How?
[14:29] Chris
    I will unite the world...
[14:33] Chris
    Through conquest!
[14:34] Malinda
    Ch-Chris?
[14:36] Chris
    Abracadabra, nuclear fusion!
[14:39] Chris
    Presto, change-o, conquer the world!
[14:48] Momo
    Oh, dear.
[14:48] Momo
    This is a little past "oh, dear."
[14:51] Momo
    Oh, dear...
[14:53] Papa
    Momo?
[14:54] Papa
    What's going on there?
[15:00] Momo
    Miss Malinda?
[15:01] Papa
    Malinda?
[15:03] Papa
    Are you all right?
[15:05] Malinda
    I'm sorry, sir! I've been a fool!
[15:10] Both
    Can it be... Chris?!
[15:18] Chris
    Attention, all countries of the world!
[15:20] Chris
    I am now your leader!
[15:23] Chris
    Tear down your borders immediately
[15:26] Chris
    and unite into one country,
[15:28] Chris
    to make things easier for
    students studying geography!
[15:33] Man
    It's a message from a self-styled genius
    named Chris to all the countries of the world!
[15:37] Chris
    If you oppose me,
[15:39] Chris
    I'll hit your countries with enough bombs
    to destroy Earth a hundred times over!
[15:54] Man
    That's what he said.
[15:56] Man
    Not again...
[15:57] Man
    Geniuses are a dime a dozen.
[16:00] Man
    Ignore that fool's bluffs.
[16:03] Comp
    They said they were ignoring your bluffs.
[16:07] Chris
    Genius is never appreciated!
[16:09] Chris
    Let there be no mercy left in this world!
[16:11] Chris
    Prepare to fire missiles!
[16:13] Comp
    Neither you nor the city would survive that.
[16:17] Chris
    No worries. Watch this!
[16:24] Momo
    What's going on?!
[16:25] Chris
    Mama, and the beautiful girl!
[16:28] Momo
    Beautiful girl?
[16:29] Momo
    M-Me?
SIGN    Even genius can't account for taste—
[16:33] Momo
    Darn it.
[16:35] Chris
    And the others with you...
[16:37] Chris
    The old man and your three
    pets. I'll save them, too.
[16:41] Momo
    Thanks!
[16:43] Momo
    But we'd rather you didn't do this.
[16:45] Chris
    It'll be fine! Even if the world
    is destroyed, you'll be safe!
[16:49] Chris
    You, I, Mama, and your father will survive
[16:53] Chris
    to make a new world where students
    don't have to study geography!
[16:57] Chris
    Now, three minutes to launch!
[17:02] Clock
    Three minutes! Three minutes!
SIGN    This is all very stupid,  but he seems serious.
SIGN    Malinda!
[17:10] Lupi
    Momo, you're the only one
    who can save the world!
[17:14] Lupi
    Yeah!
[17:17] Momo
    Magic, magic! Stop the missile launches!
[17:23] Momo
    Two minutes, thirty seconds! Two
    minutes, twenty-nine seconds!
[17:26] Momo
    Keep going!
[17:28] Momo
    What happened? Why didn't my magic work?
[17:31] King
    Oh dear, oh dear!
[17:32] King
    What's wrong?
[17:34] Queen
    Even if it was magic that
    made Chris a genius,
[17:37] Queen
    those missiles are man-made
    objects rooted in reality.
[17:41] Queen
    Dream magic is weak against real-life fears.
[17:44] Queen
    She doesn't have enough power.
[17:47] King
    Oh... even dream magic suffers
    from an energy crisis?
[17:50] Queen
    No, it's about what dreams will and won't
    work on! It's an environmental crisis!
[17:55] Momo
    If it won't work, I'll
    keep trying until it does!
[17:58] Momo
    Magic, full blast!
[18:06] Momo
    One minute, forty-two seconds!
[18:08] Momo
    One minute, forty-one seconds!
[18:10] King
    It's no good, la-dee-da!
[18:12] King
    There's not enough energy!
[18:14] Queen
    If the world ends, all dreams will disappear.
[18:17] Momo
    It's time to give it all I've got!
[18:19] Momo
    Any power I have left, please, use it!
SIGN    Does she have any left?
SIGN    Even if she doesn't, it has to show itself!
SIGN    If it doesn't, the world is done for!
SIGN    Please, show yourself, my magic!
SIGN    Momo!
SIGN    Momo?
[18:48] Momo
    I guess it didn't work.
[18:53] Momo
    I need more power... more light!
[18:57] Momo
    More dreams!
[19:23] Momo
    My stick!
SIGN    Momo...
[19:25] Chamo
    A power-up!
[19:27] Lupi
    You think your magic will work now?
[19:29] Momo
    Yeah!
[19:35] Momo
    Take that!
[19:48] Chris
    What is that light?!
[19:58] Chris
    What the...
[19:59] Chris
    Huh? Where's all my bombs?
[20:02] Chris
    The beautiful girl...
[20:04] Momo
    Will this tell you?
[20:07] Chris
    Even my own mother never hit me!
[20:10] Malinda
    Chris!
[20:11] Chris
    Mama!
[20:14] Chris
    Mama! The beautiful girl was mean to me!
[20:17] Malinda
    Chris!
[20:22] Malinda
    Even if you're a genius,
    you are still my child!
[20:25] Malinda
    I will not let you be naughty!
[20:28] Chris
    Mama's so mean!
[20:31] Both
    The rings!
[20:32] Both
    Chris!
[20:33] Chris
    No!
[20:35] Momo
    One!
[20:36] Malinda
    Two!
[20:38] Trio
    Three!
[20:40] Papa
    Four!
[20:42] Malinda
    And five!
[20:50] Chris
    Mama?
[20:53] Chris
    Mama, what happened to our house?
[20:56] Malinda
    Chris!
[20:59] All
    Abracadabra, and a happy ending...
[21:02] All
    I guess?
[21:15] King
    Celebrate! Venerate! I'm in a happy state!
[21:18] Queen
    Is it though?
[21:20] Queen
    Look at that.
[21:21] King
    There's gaps in the dream fragment cloud!
[21:23] Queen
    That's the portion Momo
    used up to power her magic!
[21:28] King
    Guess so...

    But something awful would've happened to
    the world if she hadn't used her magic.
[21:34] King

[21:53] Mama
    What, you're still not done
    with the accounting for tonight?
[21:56] Papa
    Dear, let's put it off to tomorrow.
[21:59] Mama
    No! You'll just pawn it off on me, then!

[22:15] Mama
    Want to come, Momo?
[22:16] Momo
    Yeah, sure thing!
[22:18] Papa
    F-Fine, I get it! I'll do it!
[22:22] Mama
    Oh, too bad.
[22:24] Momo
    How nice of him!
