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*** A Divine Farce
**[02:06] Momo**
"A Divine Farce."
**[02:18] Momo**
Papa!
**[02:20] Mama**
You little...
**[02:22] Papa**
F-Forgive me...
**[02:25] Mama**
No! I'll never forgive you!
**[02:34] Momo**
What started all this?
**[02:38] Papa**
This.
**[02:39] Papa**
I took this picture fifteen years ago,
**[02:42] Papa**
during an archaeological dig on
a place called the Twin Islands.
**[02:45] Papa**
It was before I even met your mother.
**[02:48] Momo**
The Twin Islands sounds familiar.
**[02:51] Papa**
There's a legend about it.
**[02:53] Momo**
A legend?
**[02:54] Papa**
Long, long ago, there was
a country called Marinarsa.
**[03:00] Papa**
One day, it sunk deep into the ocean.
**[03:03] Papa**
But the Twin Islands were right next to it,
**[03:06] Papa**
and were said to harbor a
treasure from Marinarsa,
**[03:08] Papa**
the last remnant of the place that gave hopes
**[03:11] Papa**
and dreams to humanity before it sank.
**[03:14] Momo**
And you found that treasure?
**[03:16] Papa**
No. That's why it's still a legend.
**[03:18] Papa**
I see...
**[03:20] Papa**
Hey, where are the Twin Islands?
**[03:23] Papa**
In the middle of the ocean far to the south.
**[03:30] Momo**
After hearing a story like that,
I've gotta check it out, right?
***SIGN*** But I've never heard of a treasure being hidden on the Twin Islands before.
***SIGN*** It's not in my *Traveler's
Guide to Earth*, either.
**[03:43] Momo**
Is that the Twin Islands?!
***SIGN*** Looks like it.
***SIGN*** "The Twin Islands are divided into Thissa Island and Thatta Island."
***SIGN*** "The people of both islands live together in peace and cooperation," it says.
**[04:01] Chamo**
But they're fighting down there!
**[04:13] Momo**
What's going on, Cookbook?
***SIGN*** Sorry, this book is ten years old!
**[04:19] Chamo**
Look out! Stray fire!
**[04:28] King**
Dee-da!
**[04:29] King**
Emergency, emergency, emergency, la-dee-da!
**[04:31] Queen**
What's going on now?
**[04:33] King**
The Gourmet Poppo just went
down with Momo inside it!
**[04:36] Queen**
Isn't the Gourmet Poppo
designed to survive a fall?
**[04:39] King**
It's where they're going
down that's a problem!
**[04:41] King**
The Twin Islands are at war!
**[04:44] Queen**
The Twin Islands?!
**[04:46] Queen**
Wh-What are they doing there?
**[04:48] King**
Her father told her there was
a Marinarsa treasure there!
**[04:51] King**
But I didn't hide anything
on the Twin Islands!
**[04:54] King**
Darling...
**[04:56] King**
You didn't hide anything there
that would start a war, did you?
**[04:59] Queen**
C-Certainly not!
**[05:01] King**
I wonder! You're not stashing
money there, are you?
**[05:04] Queen**
Perish the thought!
**[05:06] Queen**
Oh, but forget that! Momo is...
**[05:09] King**
Dee-da! I knew this was bad!
**[05:13] Man**
What did you come here for?
**[05:15] Queen**
Me? To see the Twin Islands, of course!
**[05:19] Man**
A likely story. Why are you
dressed up as our god, then?
**[05:23] Momo**
God?
**[05:24] Momo**
What do you mean?
**[05:26] Man**
I see. Going to play dumb
to the end, are you?
**[05:30] Man**
We know what to do with people like you...
**[05:32] Man**
Men, take her in and
sacrifice her to our god!
**[05:36] All**
Yes, sir!
**[05:43] Man**
Hey! Get back here!
**[05:46] Man**
Get back here!
**[05:56] Man**
Help!
**[06:01] Man**
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
**[06:06] Man**
What now?
**[06:07] Kid**
Hey, this way!
**[06:10] Kid**
Hurry up!
**[06:16] Men**
Where'd she go?
**[06:17] Men**
This way?
**[06:19] Men**
I don't see her, Lord Gerro.
**[06:20] Men**
No sign of her jumping
into the river, either.
**[06:22] Men**
It seems she disappeared.
**[06:23] Men**
You think... she really was the living god?
**[06:27] Gerro**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[06:28] Gerro**
That was a spy sent from the other island
disguised as our god to deceive us!
**[06:34] Gerro**
Listen to me! Leave no stone unturned.
**[06:37] Gerro**
If we manage to sacrifice her, we'll
win tomorrow's battle for sure!
**[06:42] All**
Yeah!
**[06:52] Momo**
What was all that about gods and spies?
**[06:55] Momo**
What in the world is happening?
**[06:56] Kid**
Let me show you something interesting. C'mon!
**[07:09] Kid**
It's because you look just like that!
**[07:20] King**
Dee-da!
**[07:22] King**
It's a major Momo mix-up,
molars to muscles to marrow!
**[07:30] King**
What a shock!
**[07:31] King**
What's the matter, darling? Darling!
**[07:34] King**
There's a stone statue of Momo
and my wife is unconscious...
**[07:37] King**
What's going on here?!
**[07:42] Kid**
The statue was discovered in
the mountains five years ago,
**[07:45] Kid**
and the people here began
to revere it as a god.
**[07:49] Kid**
But soon after, the people on the other
island found an even bigger statue,
**[07:55] Kid**
and said that theirs was the real god.
**[07:58] Momo**
And that's how the war started?
**[08:00] Kid**
Yeah, it's been going for five years now.
**[08:03] Momo**
Oh, how awful! That's not a god!
**[08:06] Kid**
I agree with you. God
wouldn't look that stupid.
**[08:12] Momo**
It kinda annoys me to hear
it called stupid, but...
**[08:15] Momo**
It's definitely *not* a god!
**[08:18] Kid**
But the others all believe in it.
**[08:21] Kid**
My dad also has total faith,
**[08:23] Kid**
which is why he became commander in
chief, and is prepared to die for it.
**[08:26] Momo**
Your dad... is that the guy
talking about sacrificing me?
**[08:30] Kid**
Yeah. The Thatta Island
commander in chief, Gerro.
**[08:33] Kid**
And I'm his son, Nemo.
**[08:36] Momo**
You're the son of their
commander, but you saved me?
**[08:40] Nemo**
Yeah.
**[08:43] Nemo**
I don't believe in the god, and I hate war.
**[08:47] Nemo**
So I ran away from home and live alone here.
**[08:51] Nemo**
But it all ends tomorrow.
**[08:54] Nemo**
Tomorrow, they're waging their last
battle to determine whose god is real.
**[08:59] Nemo**
I think my dad's gonna die there.
**[09:02] Momo**
You can't talk like that!
**[09:05] Momo**
If you're his son, you've gotta
find a way to stop the war!
**[09:08] Nemo**
How am I supposed to do that?
It's about divine figures!
**[09:12] Nemo**
Unless an even more impressive god
appears, no one's going to stop fighting!
**[09:21] Momo**
Hey, what does the god on
the other island look like?
**[09:40] Momo**
I-It can't be...
**[09:43] Momo**
That's my transformed...
**[09:45] sign**
Fairy Princess
**[09:45] sign**
Minky Momo
**[09:45] sign**
Embracing Dreams
***SIGN*** What do we do, Momo?
**[09:59] Momo**
I don't know who made them, but those
statues of me are the cause of the fighting!
**[10:04] Momo**
So I've got to stop it!
***SIGN*** But how?
**[10:08] Momo**
I'll become the god!
**[10:10] Momo**
I acted carelessly before,
so they mistook me for a spy,
**[10:13] Momo**
but if I transform into an adult and present
myself as their god and say "stop fighting"...
**[10:18] Lupi**
They'll have to do what
their god says, right?
**[10:22] Chamo**
That's our Momo!
***SIGN*** You think it'll work that easily?
***SIGN*** Religious conflicts tend to run deep.
**[10:28] Momo**
No matter how deep it runs,
I'm going to stop it!
**[10:32] Momo**
I'll stop it, no matter what it takes!
**[10:37] Queen**
Oh, if I hadn't made those things...
**[10:41] King**
You made those statues?!
**[10:43] Queen**
Yes. When I was even younger than Momo...
**[10:48] Queen**
I was playing in the mud with
the queen of Fenarinarsa...
**[10:55] (Flashback) Queen**
Hey, hey.
**[10:56] (Flashback) Queen**
When I grow up, I'm gonna have
a baby who looks like this!
**[11:00] (Flashback) Queen**
So cute!
**[11:01] (Flashback) Queen**
And then, and then, when she
grows up, she'll look like that!
**[11:06] (Flashback) Queen**
That's awesome!
**[11:08] (Flashback) Queen**
But it's too bad the dolls are so small...
**[11:11] (Flashback) Queen**
Then let's make them bigger with magic!
**[11:15] (Flashback) Queen**
Get big, get big, get big!
**[11:18] (Flashback) Queen**
Get big, get big, get big!
**[11:21] (Flashback) Queen**
Get big, get big, get big!
**[11:24] (Flashback) Queen**
Get big, get big, get big!
**[11:27] (Flashback) Queen**
Get big, get big, get big!
**[11:30] Queen**
I was still a child, so I didn't
know how powerful my magic could be,
**[11:34] Queen**
and the dolls just grew and grew...
**[11:37] Queen**
And to avoid being scolded, you
hid them on the Twin Islands?
**[11:42] Queen**
I know I was young, but I'm still so ashamed!
**[11:59] Momo**
Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
**[12:02] Momo**
Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
**[12:04] Momo**
Become a goddess with a Minky touch!
**[12:24] Momo**
Listen to me, everyone!
**[12:27] Momo**
I am your god!
**[12:31] Man**
Guys, our prayers have reached the heavens!
**[12:34] Man**
Our god has appeared in human form!
**[12:37] Man**
That means we'll win for sure!
**[12:41] Momo**
No!
**[12:43] Momo**
I came here to stop you from fighting!
**[12:47] Momo**
You must agree to peace
with Thatta Island at once!
**[12:50] Man**
With all due respect, we have fought for
five years believing you are the true god.
**[12:57] Man**
If we sign a peace treaty
now, it'll mean we've lost!
**[13:01] Man**
That would mean you're a fake, and the
Thatta Island god is the real one!
**[13:07] Momo**
Who're you again?
**[13:08] Popon**
I worship you so much, and
you don't even know me?
**[13:11] Popon**
I'm the chief of this island, its high
priest, and its commander in chief, Popon!
**[13:18] Momo**
Listen to me, Popon!
**[13:20] Momo**
I never once asked you guys to fight for me!
**[13:23] Momo**
And the statue on Thatta Island is
of me when I was twelve years old!
**[13:28] Momo**
Which means they're *both*
me and they're *both* real!
**[13:31] Momo**
You get it?!
**[13:33] Momo**
Lord Popon!
**[13:35] Momo**
Let me go, darn it!
**[13:38] Momo**
Hey, it's Gerro's kid, Nemo!
**[13:42] Momo**
I caught him sneaking around
the shore, so I caught him.
**[13:44] Momo**
Let go! Let me go!
**[13:46] Momo**
Yes, let him go!
**[13:48] Popon**
Never!
**[13:49] Popon**
I can't imagine a greater windfall
**[13:51] Popon**
than capturing the enemy commander's
son just before the big battle.
**[13:55] Popon**
God!
**[13:57] Popon**
I'm going to offer Nemo
here as a sacrifice to you!
**[14:03] Momo**
No! I don't want any sacrifices!
**[14:05] Nemo**
Yeah! If you kill me, the living embodiment
of the other god is gonna get you!
**[14:10] Popon**
The other god?
**[14:12] Nemo**
Yeah, she's here on this island right now!
**[14:14] Popon**
Oh? Then show her to me!
**[14:17] Popon**
If you show her to me, I'll spare you.
**[14:21] Momo**
Really? Is that true?
**[14:23] Popon**
Yes, I would never lie to a god.
**[14:26] Popon**
Then hold on just a minute!
**[14:35] Popon**
See? It's the living embodiment of her!
**[14:38] Popon**
Now, release the boy as promised!
**[14:40] Popon**
Yeah, right! I never made a promise to *you*!
**[14:45] Momo**
No way...
**[14:46] Nemo**
That's cheating!
**[14:48] Popon**
It's not cheating!
**[14:49] Popon**
I made a promise to *our* god!
**[14:52] Momo**
F-Fine! Just wait a minute!
**[14:59] Momo**
Now, release that boy!
**[15:01] Popon**
First, show me the other
island's god one more time.
**[15:04] Popon**
Then I'll release him.
**[15:06] Momo**
Why can't you just do it already?!
**[15:08] Popon**
No way! I need more than
one look at her for that!
**[15:11] Momo**
Fine! Just one more time, though!
**[15:18] Momo**
Well? You believe me now?
**[15:21] Popon**
No, I can't believe you.
**[15:22] Momo**
Why not?!
**[15:24] Popon**
Our god said before that you
were our god at age twelve!
**[15:29] Momo**
That's right! That's what I am!
**[15:31] Popon**
But that's impossible!
**[15:32] Popon**
If the adult god is here, why is her
twelve-year-old version also here?
**[15:36] Momo**
W-Well, that is, er...
**[15:41] Popon**
I've figured out your trick.
**[15:58] Popon**
We use this little rig to
monitor our coastlines.
**[16:02] Momo**
Why does an island that uses
spears and bows have that stuff?
**[16:07] Popon**
Because...
**[16:10] Popon**
It's made in Japan!
**[16:12] Popon**
I dunno how you did it,
**[16:15] Popon**
but you're clearly a spy
from the other island
**[16:17] Popon**
who disguised yourself
as our god to deceive us!
**[16:21] Popon**
Get her, everyone!
**[16:32] Momo**
Nice timing!
**[16:34] Chamo**
Momo, hurry!
**[16:36] Momo**
Nemo, grab on!
**[16:38] Nemo**
Right!
**[16:38] Popon**
Grab him!
**[16:44] Popon**
Darn you, darn you! Get back here!
**[16:47] Man**
Lord Popon, emergency!
**[16:48] Man**
The soldiers from the other
island are attacking!
**[16:50] Popon**
What?!
**[16:53] Nemo**
Hey, just who are you?
**[16:56] Momo**
I'm Minky Momo. I'm from a dreamland.
**[16:58] Momo**
A dreamland? You mean
the legendary Marinarsa?
**[17:02] Momo**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Momo, look down!
**[17:13] Popon**
The fight is supposed to be tomorrow.
**[17:16] Gerro**
You thought I'd just sit back and
watch while you held my son hostage?
**[17:20] Gerro**
Return my son!
**[17:22] Popon**
I don't have a hostage. I swear to my god.
**[17:26] Gerro**
I can't believe oaths to your lousy god!
**[17:29] Popon**
What was that? You insult our god?
**[17:33] Popon**
You'll pay for that!
**[17:34] Popon**
Get him, everyone!
**[17:38] Popon**
Right, it's a fight! Let's take them down!
**[17:45] Momo**
Wait, everyone!
**[17:48] Gerro**
Nemo! You're safe?
**[17:50] Nemo**
Dad! Call off this war!
**[17:52] Nemo**
Thatta Island and Thissa Island's
gods are the same person!
**[17:55] Nemo**
This girl is from Marinarsa!
**[17:57] Gerro**
This is ridiculous.
**[18:00] Popon**
Marinarsa, huh? Your son's a real idiot!
**[18:04] Momo**
It's true! If you don't
believe me, I'll show you!
***SIGN*** She's not gonna transform in front of everyone, is she?!
**[18:12] Momo**
It's the only way they'll see!
**[18:15] Momo**
Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
**[18:17] Momo**
Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
**[18:19] Momo**
Become a goddess with a Minky touch!
**[18:28] Momo**
Well? See now?
**[18:30] Popon**
So? Why should we care?
**[18:32] Gerro**
Yeah! We've been fighting for five years now!
**[18:36] Gerro**
We can't just stop fighting now!
**[18:38] Momo**
Oh, no...
**[18:40] Gerro**
Get them, men!
**[18:42] Popon**
Don't let them beat you!
**[18:46] Momo**
*Hey!*
**[18:55] Momo**
What's going on with these people?!
***SIGN*** I told you that religious conflicts ran deep!
**[19:02] Momo**
Okay, now I'm mad!
**[19:04] Momo**
Chant abridged, transform!
**[19:07] Momo**
Knock it off!
**[19:24] Momo**
Wh-What's going on?
**[19:26] Momo**
Th-The god is enraged!
**[19:32] Momo**
I-It can't be! I thought I was the angry one!
**[19:52] Nemo**
Look, everyone!
**[19:54] Nemo**
There's some baby statues,
and some old lady statues!
**[20:00] Nemo**
Middle school age...
**[20:01] Nemo**
As a young woman...
**[20:03] Nemo**
Around thirty and...
**[20:04] Nemo**
Middle-aged too!
**[20:06] Momo**
No way! These are all me!
**[20:09] Gerro**
You mean... there was only one god all along?
**[20:13] Gerro**
It looks like it.
**[20:17] Both**
Listen, everyone! The war is over!
**[20:32] Nemo**
Dad...
**[20:33] Gerro**
Nemo...
**[20:38] Momo**
Hey!
**[20:40] Momo**
You'd better take good care of
that bridge, or I'll get mad!
**[20:42] Popon**
Sure! It's a symbol of peace, after all!
**[20:46] Popon**
I don't know who you are, but thanks, lady!
**[20:49] Momo**
I told you, I'm from Marinarsa...
**[20:52] Momo**
Well, never mind.
**[21:06] Queen**
I'm so glad. Truly glad!
**[21:09] Queen**
Aren't you, dear?
**[21:11] Queen**
Oh? What are you doing now?
**[21:13] King**
Making my own statues.
**[21:15] King**
As a baby. At ten. Fifteen.
**[21:19] King**
Twenty. Thirty.
**[21:22] Queen**
You're just the same as ever!
**[21:25] King**
*Ever-patient, you are...*
**[21:31] Ann**
*Peace has returned to the Twin Islands,*
**[21:34] Ann**
* because their god built this stone*
* bridge to prove that they were one.*
**[21:38] Papa**
War is the most foolish
thing people can do.
**[21:43] Mama**
I'm glad it's all over!
**[21:49] Mama**
I guess we should make up, too.
**[21:51] Papa**
Yes, you're the only one I love, dear.
**[21:56] Mama**
I feel the same way. Only you, dear.
**[22:01] Mama**
Dear...
**[22:02] Papa**
Dear...
**[22:09] Lupi**
Look at them, at it again!
**[22:12] Mama**
But when I get old, will
I really look like that?
**[22:20] Chamo**
But the war's over, at least!
***SIGN*** And your parents have reunited. Isn't that nice?
**[22:26] Momo**
True... it worked itself out. It's fine.
