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?!
**[11:36] sign**
Fairy Princess
**[11:36] sign**
Minky Momo
**[11:36] sign**
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!
***SIGN*** Next Episode Preview
**[24:10] Momo**
When they hear those words, H-E-L-P,
they come right to the rescue!
**[24:13] Momo**
They welcome an SOS!
**[24:15] Momo**
No one knows who they are, but they're
a licensed amateur organization!
**[24:19] Momo**
Next time on *Fairy Princess Minky Momo*:
**[24:21] Momo**
"Move Out, Saver Squad!"
**[24:23] Momo**
They'll go through fire or
water to let a flower bloom!
**[24:26] Momo**
Even in hot water!
**[24:27] Momo**
I hope they'll let a peach flower bloom!
**[24:29] Momo**
I don't know what I'm talking about,
but keep going even if it's hot!
