    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...
[01:55] Narrator
    But would it work out?
[01:59] Narrator
    Oh, right! And her name was Minky Momo!
SIGN    Butter-Butter-Butterfly!
[02:06] Momo
    "Butter-Butter-Butterfly!"
[02:14] Momo
    It's morning. The sky is blue.
[02:20] Momo
    I'm healthy today and a little sleepy, but...
[02:26] Momo
    Huh?
SIGN    Huh?
[02:27] Chamo
    What is it?
[02:28] Lupi
    What's there?
[02:29] Momo
    See for yourself! Look!
[02:40] Man
    Stop! Stop, already!
[02:43] Man
    Oh, dear. It's out of control!
[02:52] Momo
    He's waving!
[02:53] Momo
    Morning!
[02:54] Man
    Move out of the way!
[02:56] Momo
    I don't think that was a "hello"...
[02:58] Momo
    Bye-bye! Farewell!
[03:12] Man
    Morning.
[03:13] Momo
    G-Good morning.
[03:17] Man
    Goodbye!
[03:23] Momo
    Goodbye...
[03:25] Momo
    Wait, he might be in real trouble...
[03:28] Momo
    Papa! Mama! Emergency!
[03:31] Papa
    Well, you called us to come
    out here for an emergency...
[03:34] Mama
    And that's clearly what it is!
[03:36] Lloyd
    I'm okay!
[03:38] Lloyd
    This isn't enough to deter
    me, Butterfly Lloyd!
[03:42] Lloyd
    But failure is the mother of success,
[03:44] Lloyd
    as well as its father,
    grandfather, and ancestors!
[03:47] Lloyd
    I'm gonna keep working!
[03:49] Mama
    Glad to see he's all right...
[03:51] Mama
    But what will we do about our window?
[03:55] Lloyd
    Oh, it's a mess.
[03:57] Lloyd
    But we mustn't be deterred!
[03:59] Lloyd
    My Butterflight is also a mess, as you see,
[04:02] Lloyd
    but I won't give up!
[04:04] Lloyd
    Look at that blue sky up above!
[04:05] Lloyd
    I'll work it out sooner or later!
[04:09] Lloyd
    The moment my Butterflight is complete,
[04:13] Lloyd
    I'll be able to repair your window
    or door or anything you like!
[04:17] Momo
    Um, is this the Butterflight?
[04:20] Lloyd
    That's right. It flies through
    the air like a butterfly!
[04:26] Lloyd
    Here's the concept illustration!
[04:28] Momo
    Oh, so it flies.
[04:30] Lloyd
    Yes, it floats like a butterfly!
[04:33] Mama
    But...
[04:34] Mama
    Right now, I theorize it's less like a
    butterfly and more like a grasshopper.
[04:39] Papa
    It's less like an airplane
    and more like a car.
[04:42] Lloyd
    A car?
[04:43] Lloyd
    Oh, speaking of cars...
[04:44] Lloyd
    Is that your vehicle?
[04:46] Papa
    Yes.
[04:47] Lloyd
    I'd like to borrow it.
[04:49] Lloyd
    I'll use it to take my Butterflight
    back to the workshop,
[04:52] Lloyd
    complete it ASAP,
[04:54] Lloyd
    and earn the money to pay for your window!
[04:58] Lloyd
    Right? You'll do it, right?!
[05:00] Lloyd
    The sooner the better!
[05:01] Papa
    Well, all right.
[05:04] Lloyd
    Will you kindly drive me, then?
[05:07] Papa
    Eh?
[05:08] Lloyd
    I don't have a driver's license!
[05:10] All
    Argh!
[05:17] Momo
    So many butterflies!
[05:18] Lloyd
    Oh, there used to be far more than that.
[05:21] Lloyd
    This area was known as
    the land of butterflies.
[05:24] Momo
    The land of butterflies?
[05:26] Lloyd
    But now, whenever they try to fly...
[05:37] Momo
    An airplane?
[05:39] Papa
    That's right! The Stickaround
    Airport is nearby.
SIGN    That's the era we live in.
SIGN    What used to be a land of butterflies is now a land of airplanes.
[06:01] Lloyd
    Yes... ever since humans have wanted to fly,
[06:05] Lloyd
    they designed craft based on the butterfly.
[06:13] Lloyd
    But others wanted to fly more like a bird.
[06:17] Lloyd
    In the end, the Wright Brothers
[06:19] Lloyd
    complete the first flight based
    on the principles of birds.
[06:22] Lloyd
    Ever since, airplanes have moved
    in an unpleasant direction.
[06:27] Lloyd
    Higher, faster, heavier...
[06:31] Lloyd
    This isn't flying! It's just
    driving through the air!
[06:34] Lloyd
    And the end result...
[06:36] Papa
    It's an earthquake! Get outside!
[06:44] Momo
    It wasn't an earthquake.
[06:45] Lloyd
    You call that cacophony flight?!
[06:49] Lloyd
    No, flight should be based on the butterfly!
[06:56] King
    If you hold me, darling, I'll be a butterfly!
[07:00] King
    That's right! It's not
    just airplanes that fly!
[07:04] King
    Butterflies and birds and carp
    streamers all belong to the sky!
[07:08] Queen
    Yes, but when you look up now, you'll
    see jets, advertising blimps...
[07:15] Queen
    The sky now belongs to the humans.
[07:19] King
    Humans are like the juvenile
    delinquents of the sky.
[07:22] Queen
    They really do get ahead of themselves.
[07:25] Lloyd
    To fly like a butterfly...
[07:26] Lloyd
    My Butterflight will make it possible.
[07:29] Lloyd
    Butterfly-principle flight
    pioneers like me won't give up!
[07:33] Lloyd
    I'll keep working hard!
[07:35] Momo
    To fly like a butterfly.
[07:37] Momo
    That sounds pretty nice!
[07:44] Voice
    Yes... it's lovely, isn't it?
[07:55] Voice
    To flit and float and hover on the wind...
[08:00] Momo
    Flit and float and hover?
[08:04] Momo
    I don't get it.
[08:05] Fairy
    To fly like us!
[08:07] Momo
    Like you?
[08:09] Fairy
    Come on, let's fly!
[08:15] Fairy
    Come, let us ride the wind!
[08:18] Fairy
    Instead of taming the wind,
    anticipate its currents.
[08:22] Fairy
    Talk with the wind!
[08:25] Momo
    Talk with the wind?
[08:27] Momo
    Hello, wind!
[08:36] Momo
    It's lovely!
[08:37] Fairy
    Yes, this is how a butterfly flies!
[08:40] Momo
    Yes, it's lovely!
[08:42] Fairy
    But...
[08:44] Momo
    Wh-What's this?!
[08:46] Momo
    What's going on?
[08:48] Fairy
    We can't fly any longer.
[08:50] Fairy
    Not in skies like these...
[08:59] Momo
    Wh-What happened here?
[09:02] Momo
    Oh, no! What's going on?
[09:04] Fairy
    Humans have made it so we can't fly anymore.
[09:07] Fairy
    We're going to die out.
[09:10] Momo
    No! We'll figure out something!
[09:12] Fairy
    It's too late.
[09:13] Fairy
    This is the last year our people will live.
[09:17] Momo
    The last year?
[09:23] Fairy
    We're done for.
[09:25] Fairy
    But we want to pass our way of flight,
    and the joy of flying, to someone else.
[09:30] Momo
    To someone else?
[09:44] Momo
    Mr. Lloyd, fly!
[09:47] Momo
    I want to see your butterfly flying machine!
[09:50] Momo
    Show me, please!
[09:52] Papa
    Well, a more leisurely flying
    machine might be nice, too.
[09:56] Lloyd
    Yes! I'm gonna get it done!
[09:58] Momo
    I really do want to see the Butterflight fly!
SIGN    But will it really fly based on these specs?
[10:14] Lupi
    Flight is a delicate thing!
[10:16] Lupi
    It won't survive even the
    slightest mistake in the plans!
[10:20] Chamo
    Momo, why not let it fly
    with magic just to see?
[10:24] Momo
    Good idea! Okay!
[10:29] Momo
    Magic, show me if the Butterflight
    will fly based on these plans!
[10:39] Momo
    Please, see how you fly!
[10:45] Momo
    Oh, dear.
SIGN    It might take centuries before it can fly at this rate.
[10:51] Papa
    Momo! Momo!
[10:53] Papa
    Amazing news! Come look at the TV!
[10:56] Momo
    The TV?
[10:58] Rep
    Look at the elegant flight of the butterfly!
[11:02] Rep
    A new vehicle has been developed
    based on this principle.
[11:07] Chamo
    Isn't that the Butterflight?!
[11:10] Lupi
    Then it finally flew!
[11:11] Bata
    Scholars have studied the principle
    behind butterfly flight for many years.
[11:17] Bata
    I have at last perfected a
    craft based on that principle!
[11:22] Trio
    So excited!
[11:24] Bata
    Behold, the craft putting the
    butterfly principle into practice,
[11:28] Bata
    the Marine Butterfly!
[11:29] Bata
    It's a submarine that flits through
    the water like a butterfly!
[11:33] All
    A submarine?!

    Embracing Dreams
[11:48] Bata
    Think about it!
[11:50] Bata
    There's a butterfly stroke in swimming.
[11:53] Bata
    But there's no butterfly anything in ski
    jumping, long jumping, or high jumping!
[11:59] Bata
    Therefore, the flight principle of the
    butterfly isn't ideal for the sky,
[12:03] Bata
    but for the water!
[12:06] Bata
    Thus, I developed the
    ultimate butterfly craft!
[12:10] Bata
    What? Fly through the sky?!
[12:12] Bata
    What's the point of a
    butterfly flying these days?
[12:15] Bata
    The skies are now the domain of
    faster, higher, heavier jets!
[12:21] Bata
    The idea of butterflies flying
    these days is nonsense!
[12:28] Lloyd
    Take that! And that!
[12:31] Lloyd
    Butterflies belong in the sky!
[12:33] Lloyd
    Darn it...
[12:35] Lloyd
    I'm gonna make my Butterflight fly!
[12:46] Chamo
    The Butterflight is gone!
[12:52] Momo
    Mr. Lloyd?!
[12:54] Lupi
    Momo, look!
SIGN    You think Mr. Lloyd got upset and...
[12:59] Lupi
    People like him...
[13:00] Chamo
    When they get desperate...
[13:02] Momo
    Don't even think such awful things!
[13:05] Momo
    Anyway, let's look for Mr. Lloyd!
[13:13] Chamo
    He probably wants to make
    the Butterflight fly.
[13:16] Momo
    I know.
SIGN    But the Butterflight can't fly the way it is.
[13:20] Momo
    What would he do if he wanted
    to make it fly anyway?
[13:22] Lupi
    He'd look for a high place.
[13:23] Chamo
    On a mountain...
SIGN    On a cliff...
[13:26] Lupi
    And jump off...
[13:27] Momo
    Jump off?!
[13:30] Lupi
    Jumping off...
[13:31] Lupi
    A broken heart...
[13:32] Lupi
    Suicide cliffs...
[13:34] Lupi
    The Stickaround Park sea cliff!
[13:48] Lloyd
    A submarine? Ridiculous!
[13:50] Lloyd
    A butterfly is designed for flight!
[13:53] Lloyd
    I've fallen in the water
    enough for one lifetime.
[13:58] Lloyd
    I will fly!
[14:02] Chamo
    I knew it!
[14:03] Momo
    The Butterflight can't fly yet!
[14:08] Momo
    Mr. Lloyd, wait!
[14:17] Momo
    All right, then...
[14:19] Trio
    Momo!
[14:24] Momo
    Chant abridged!
[14:26] Momo
    Become a skydiver!
[14:36] Momo
    But even after transforming,
    I'm still falling...
[14:45] Momo
    I did it!
[14:53] Momo
    Oh, no!
SIGN    Momo, your magic!
[14:57] Chamo
    Momo!
[14:58] Lupi
    L-Look!
[15:12] Momo
    No... this isn't my magic.
[15:24] Lloyd
    What is this place?
[15:26] Momo
    The butterflies saved us!
[15:29] Lloyd
    Butterflies?
[15:37] Fairy
    Your Butterflight has almost achieved flight.
[15:42] Fairy
    Please, make it fly. For our sake!
[15:44] Lloyd
    For your sake?
[15:46] Fairy
    We're going to disappear
    from this world soon.
[15:50] Fairy
    But we wish to bequeath our method
    of flying to someone, at least!
[15:54] Lloyd
    The Butterflight is done for.
[15:57] Lloyd
    Submarines will carry on
    the butterflies' flight.
[15:59] Fairy
    Butterflies don't swim! They fly!
[16:04] Lloyd
    You're right. Butterflies fly.
[16:07] Lloyd
    But my Butterflight can't do that.
[16:10] Momo
    Don't give up! Listen to the butterflies!
[16:14] Fairy
    We believe you're the only one who
    can inherit our method of flight.
[16:18] Lloyd
    The only... one?
[16:20] Fairy
    You loved our outdated method of flight.
[16:24] Fairy
    Even if you're a human, I know you can do it.
[16:26] Lloyd
    I can?
[16:28] Fairy
    Watch closely!
[16:29] Fairy
    This is how we fly!
[16:33] Momo
    Mr. Lloyd, watch closely!
[16:35] Lloyd
    But I'm always watching how butterflies fly.
[16:54] Lloyd
    The butterflies' heart...
[16:57] Fairy
    I believe you can do it.
[17:00] Lloyd
    You do?
[17:01] Fairy
    Let the Butterflight fly!
[17:04] Lloyd
    My Butterflight...
[17:08] Lloyd
    Like a butterfly...
[17:14] Momo
    It will fly, won't it?
[17:17] Lloyd
    You bet it will!
[17:18] Lloyd
    The butterflies are waiting!
[18:11] Lupi
    He's using this place again?
[18:13] Momo
    Don't worry! It'll fly for sure!
[18:36] Trio
    Momo?!
[18:42] Momo
    It's going to fall at this rate!
SIGN    Momo! The magic!
[18:46] Momo
    It can't rely on magic!
    It has to fly on its own!
[18:54] Trio
    Momo!
[19:02] Lloyd
    You okay, Momo?
[19:04] Momo
    I'm okie-dokie!
[19:06] Momo
    It flew!
[19:07] Momo
    Yes!
[19:07] Momo
    Like a butterfly!
[19:12] Momo
    You did it!
[19:13] Lloyd
    Yes! Thank you, Momo.
[19:17] Man
    What's that thing?
[19:19] Woman
    A plane?
[19:20] Woman
    No, planes don't fly like that!
[19:24] Woman
    It's more like a butterfly!
[19:25] Man
    Yes! Just like a butterfly!
[19:30] Lloyd
    That's right. This isn't an airplane.
[19:33] Lloyd
    It's the Butterflight!
[19:35] Momo
    It's great!
[19:44] Lloyd
    Wh-What was that?!
[19:46] Momo
    Look!
[19:49] Pilot
    Fire in the right engine!
[19:51] Pilot
    I won't make it to the runway!
[19:53] Pilot
    Ejecting now!
[20:01] Reporter
    A malfunctioning plane hit the warehouse!
[20:03] Reporter
    There's a fire!
[20:04] Reporter
    All workers, to the roof!
[20:06] Reporter
    Call the rescue crew!
[20:12] Man
    Hurry!
[20:14] Man
    We won't be able to save
    them from the ground!
[20:23] Pilot
    It's no use.
[20:24] Pilot
    The wind from the fire is so
    powerful, we can't get any closer!
[20:28] Pilot
    Is that...
[20:33] Lloyd
    The Butterflight can handle a little wind!
[20:37] Momo
    Yeah!
[20:49] All
    They did it!
[21:00] Man
    You can fly like that, too?
[21:02] Man
    The butterfly, eh? We forgot about that.
[21:08] Man
    Hey!
[21:25] Momo
    Butterfly...
[21:40] King
    Even if butterflies die out, their
    manner of flying will stick around.
[21:43] Queen
    But will anyone carry on Mr. Lloyd's work?
[21:48] King
    Maybe...
[21:51] Queen
    Well, at least for now...
[21:52] King
    It's all good, all good?
[22:06] Momo
    On the cliff where the Butterflight
    achieved its first flight,
[22:11] Momo
    they erected a memorial with these words:
[22:14] Lloyd
    "Airplanes aren't the only things that fly.
[22:17] Lloyd
    So can birds, and so can butterflies."
[22:20] Momo
    That's right. Yes!
