[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    Run, Train of Dreams
[02:06] Momo
    "Run, Train of Dreams."
[02:12] Momo
    Animation.
[02:13] Momo
    Every animated show we watch starts
    with lines drawn carefully by hand.
[02:21] Man
    My dream.
[02:22] Man
    My animation.
[02:23] Man
    My character.
[02:25] Man
    Her name... Lu Million.
[02:30] Man
    Yes, someday I'm going to
    make an animated movie.
[02:34] Man
    My character...
[02:35] Man
    Yes, that's her.
[02:36] Man
    To save her dying world,
[02:39] Man
    she steals the Treasure of Dreams
    held by the Machine Castle,
[02:42] Man
    and runs away!
[02:43] Lumi
    How do I get it out of there?
[02:45] Man
    First, there's a track.
[02:50] Man
    And a train.
[02:55] Man
    You're driving that train.
[03:02] Mech
    Hold it! We won't let you escape!
[03:06] Man
    The soldiers of the Machine Castle
    pursue you and the treasure.
[03:10] Lumi
    I won't lose. I'll shake them off!
[03:19] Man
    Yes, run away.
[03:21] Man
    My character.
[03:22] Man
    My animation.
[03:23] Man
    I'll make it someday. My animation.
[03:27] Man
    Are you Lu? Are you really Lu?
[03:30] Man
    Is it finished? My animation?
[03:32] Man
    Is my animation of Lu finished?
[03:38] Man
    Lu!
[03:45] Man
    Just a dream, huh?
[03:50] Momo
    That day, it was very hot,
    although summer was over.
[03:58] King
    Momo's starting things out
    differently this time!
[04:01] King
    We haven't even seen Momo yet!
[04:02] King
    Is that all right?
[04:04] Queen
    That's true. Where has Momo gone?
[04:07] King
    I'll search for Momo!
[04:08] Momo
    So heavy!
[04:11] Queen
    Wait, that's Momo's voice!
[04:13] King
    Where?!
[04:16] Mama
    Dear, hasn't it been forever since
    we went shopping as a family?
[04:20] Papa
    I wasn't really shopping...
    I was just carrying.
[04:23] Mama
    You've got to go shopping at the
    once-a-year end-of-summer sale!
[04:26] Momo
    Even if it is a once-a-year sale,
    this stuff is still really heavy!
[04:30] Stone
    Hello? This is Stone from the
    Stickaround Animation Studio.
[04:34] Stone
    I have the five hundred
    finished animation cels. Yes.
[04:36] Stone
    I stayed up three nights
    straight and managed to finish.
[04:39] Stone
    Yes, I'm currently at Stickaround Station.
[04:41] Stone
    I'll rush to the compositing studio...
[04:42] Stone
    I'll deliver them if it kills me.
[04:46] Stone
    Yes.
[04:49] Stone
    Is that...
[04:53] Stone
    Lu?
SIGN    What the...
[04:58] Man
    What are you doing? Do you wanna get killed?
[05:01] Stone
    Lu...
[05:02] Stone
    Lu, wait! Wait!
[05:05] Stone
    Don't go, Lu!
[05:07] Stone
    Lu...
[05:09] Momo
    Lu? Who's Lu?
[05:12] Stone
    Hey. You're Lu, aren't you?
[05:15] Momo
    I-I...
[05:16] Stone
    My animation. My character.
[05:21] Stone
    Lu. I finally met you.
[05:25] Momo
    Um... I'm not Lu. I'm Momo.
[05:28] Stone
    Lu. I've wanted to meet you!
[05:30] Stone
    Lu. My character...
[05:32] Momo
    Seriously...
[05:33] Momo
    Hey, are you okay?!
[05:37] Momo
    Mister, wake up!
[05:39] Papa
    Don't move him.
[05:40] Papa
    We're supposed to wait for help.
[05:42] Papa
    Dear, call an ambulance!
[05:43] Mama
    Right!
[05:52] Doc
    Please contact the family at once.
[05:55] Nurse
    Is it that bad?
[05:57] Doc
    I don't know why, but he's extremely
    exhausted and malnourished.
[06:01] Doc
    I'm not sure if he'll ever
    regain consciousness.
[06:03] Papa
    Can you end up that way due to
    exhaustion and malnutrition?
[06:07] Doc
    It's overwork. You see it a lot
    in young people these days.
[06:10] Doc
    Someone who seemed fine just yesterday
    suddenly collapses from overwork,
[06:14] Doc
    and though they're just barely hanging
    onto life, it's only a matter of time.
[06:19] Papa
    But how will you contact his family?
[06:21] Papa
    The only thing he was
    carrying was this bag...
[06:27] Stone
    Run, Lu.
[06:28] Stone
    Run on forever!
[06:36] Stone
    Run, Lu.
[06:37] Stone
    Run forever!
[06:38] Lu
    I will!
[06:44] Woman
    Excuse me. Is this Mr. Stone's room?
[06:48] Doc
    Are you relatives?
[06:49] Woman
    No, we're from Stickaround Animation.
[06:52] Woman
    Do you have the animation
    cels he was carrying?
[06:55] Woman
    We won't make this week's
    broadcast without them!
[06:59] Momo
    Are these them?
[07:00] Woman
    That's them! Thank goodness!
[07:02] Woman
    Hurry! We might make it
    in time for compositing!
[07:05] Woman
    Ready? We have to make it in time!
[07:08] Woman
    Got it. I'll run them in!
[07:10] Woman
    Please, be in time!
[07:12] Mama
    Excuse me!
[07:13] Woman
    Yes?!
[07:14] Mama
    I don't know how important
    those envelopes were,
[07:17] Mama
    but how can you act this way
    under these circumstances?!
[07:20] Woman
    I understand. I'm worried about Stone, too...
[07:23] Woman
    But without those cels, we'll
    miss the broadcast deadline.
[07:27] Woman
    We have to make it...
[07:29] Mama
    Hey, you have to get a grip, too!
[07:32] Woman
    I'm sorry. I haven't gotten
    any decent sleep in ten days.
[07:36] Mama
    Oh, dear. Are you all right?
[07:41] Mama
    Oh, she's actually sleeping!
[07:43] Momo
    Is it that hard on all of them?
[07:46] Momo
    What kind of place is an animation studio?
[07:49] Mama
    That's right!
[07:50] Mama
    If we go to the animation studio, we
    could get Stone's contact information!
[07:54] Mama
    Momo!
[07:55] Momo
    Yeah! Great idea, Mama!
[07:56] Momo
    Good deduction!
[07:59] Momo
    So Miss Rei took us to the
    Stickaround Animation Studio.
SIGN    "Animation for children's hopes and dreams."
[08:07] Lupi
    How lovely!
[08:08] Chamo
    But the reality is...
[08:10] Man
    Hurry, hurry!
[08:12] Man
    We've got four shows for TV Lorem
    and six shows for TV Ipsum!
[08:15] Man
    The broadcast won't wait! Dolor
    Video is due in tomorrow!
[08:18] Man
    We're not gonna make it!
[08:19] Man
    Work your hardest, everyone!
[08:20] Man
    Every winter will eventually turn to spring!
SIGN    Is this a lumberyard?
[08:25] Lupi
    More like a fishmarket...
[08:26] Momo
    How scary!
[08:28] Rei
    They're all too busy to even go home.
[08:31] Rei
    But we still don't have enough people here,
[08:34] Rei
    so we run around town picking
    up cels from freelancers.
[08:38] Rei
    We're all so busy, we keep
    collapsing from exhaustion.
[08:44] Man
    I can't take it anymore!
SIGN    Animation seems less like a dream and more like a nightmare.
[08:50] Rei
    I could be next.
[08:53] Momo
    Why do you work that hard to make animation?
[08:57] Rei
    I wonder that myself sometimes.
[09:07] Woman
    I found Stone's resume!
[09:09] Woman
    He comes from Dreamer Village
    on the Distant Peninsula.
[09:13] Rei
    His family?
[09:14] Woman
    I contacted them, but it will take them
    three days to get here from Dreamer Village.
[09:19] Woman
    I'm not sure if he'll survive that long...
[09:21] Momo
    How awful.
[09:24] Stone
    Lu! Where are you?
[09:27] Momo
    Lu!
[09:29] Momo
    He wants to see someone named Lu!
[09:32] Both
    Lu?
[09:34] Both
    Can it be...
[09:38] Rei
    Of course. Stone wants to see her in motion!
[09:42] Rei
    This is a character he designed!
[09:45] Rei
    You look just like her.
[09:47] Momo
    I do?
[09:48] Rei
    Yes! Momo, the character Lu that
    Stone designed looks just like you!
[09:54] Momo
    I'm Lu?
[09:57] Momo
    But Lu is a drawing.
[10:00] Rei
    Momo, you asked earlier why we make
    animation even though it's such a hard life.
[10:06] Rei
    It's because we're dreamers.
[10:09] Momo
    Dreamers?
[10:09] Rei
    Yes, we're dreamers.
[10:11] Rei
    We dream of someday seeing our characters
    moving around in a movie or on TV.
[10:17] Momo
    "Our characters"?
[10:19] Rei
    Everyone here has characters
    of their own, just like his.
[10:23] Rei
    But making animation requires
    manpower and money.
[10:27] Rei
    "Right now, we can only animate
    other people's characters.
[10:30] Rei
    But someday, our own character
    will get animated!"
[10:34] Rei
    That's the dream we work toward every
    day, even if it's hard and stressful!
[10:38] Momo
    Stone was dreaming of that too, then?
[10:42] Momo
    Will that day ever come for him?
[10:46] Doc
    This patient can't breathe
    without a respirator.
[10:52] Doc
    Given his brain activity, the chance
    of him regaining consciousness is...
[11:00] Doc
    Now we just have to wait
    for his family to arrive
[11:03] Doc
    and decide on whether
    to pull the plug or not.
[11:06] Doc
    But he might not even last that long.
[11:11] Momo
    He was just breathing,
    never to wake up again...
[11:15] Momo
    But I felt like I heard Stone's voice.
[11:20] Stone
    Lu. Lu! Where are you?
[11:24] Momo
    Stone is calling for Lu.
[11:27] Momo
    Hey. Don't you hear it?
[11:30] Doc
    I understand how you feel, miss,
[11:33] Doc
    but the machines tell us
    he isn't even dreaming.
[11:36] Doc
    Even if he is, he'll never
    wake up from those dreams.
[11:39] Momo
    That's awful. But...
[11:42] Momo
    I heard it.
[11:48] Stone
    Lu. Where are you?!
[11:51] Stone
    I'm sure I saw Lu just now...
[11:55] Stone
    Lu!
[11:56] Stone
    Lu!
[12:01] Chamo
    Where are you going, Momo?!
SIGN    Momo!
[12:06] Both
    Momo?
[12:09] Momo
    Stone wants to see Lu!
SIGN    Lu is an animated character.
SIGN    She doesn't really exist!
[12:15] Momo
    I'll go there in Lu's place!
[12:18] Lupi
    Even with magic, can you become
    exactly who he created?
[12:23] Chamo
    Even if you look similar,
    only Stone knows the real Lu!
SIGN    Yeah!
[12:29] Momo
    Even if I can't be the real
    Lu, I can stand in for her!
[12:32] Momo
    I've got to try!

    Lu. I'll never truly meet you, will I?
[13:20] Stone
    Lu...
[13:24] Stone
    It's you, isn't it, Lu?
[13:28] Stone
    Lu?
[13:34] Stone
    No. You're not Lu.
[13:38] Stone
    You look a lot like her, but...
[13:41] Stone
    I'm sorry I mistook you for her earlier.
[13:45] Momo
    I'm sorry I'm not Lu.
[13:48] Momo
    But maybe I can stand in for Lu!
[13:51] Momo
    Tell me what Lu does in your animation.
[13:55] Stone
    But you aren't Lu.
[13:57] Stone
    It's not easy to just be Lu!
[14:00] Momo
    Let me do it. We won't know until we try!
[14:12] Stone
    The Machine Castle controls this world.
[14:16] Stone
    The source of its power
    is the Treasure of Dreams.
[14:19] Stone
    It's a consolidation of dream energy
    stolen from the people of this planet.
[14:24] Stone
    A crystallized fragment of their dreams.
[14:26] Stone
    Lu steals it back...
[14:30] Momo
    A crystallized fragment of
    dreams stolen from everyone...
[14:33] Momo
    I really relate to that!
[14:36] Momo
    Momo's gotta do this!
SIGN    Momo! This way!
SIGN    Over here!
[14:48] Momo
    A last-minute twist!
[14:50] Momo
    Okay, let's go!
[14:51] Lupi
    Yes, that's just like in an anime!
[14:52] Lupi
    That's the way!
[14:54] Momo
    Don't question it!
[14:55] Mech
    Don't let her escape!
[14:56] Momo
    Full speed ahead!
[14:57] Chamo
    Right back at you!
[15:14] Lupi
    Fire!
[15:20] Lupi
    Fire!
[15:35] Stone
    This tunnel will lead out
    of the Machine Castle.
[16:08] Momo
    We're almost to the ground!
[16:09] Stone
    Yes!
[16:13] Momo
    We made it!
[16:15] Stone
    Okay, once we're over the bridge, we're safe!
[16:18] Momo
    Got it!
[16:21] Lupi
    What's that?!
[16:27] Stone
    No! Unexpected pursuers!
[16:30] Momo
    What?!
[16:34] Stone
    A missile barrage!
[16:39] Stone
    It's coming!
[16:51] Chamo
    Missile shower, raining, raining...
[16:54] Chamo
    I'm done for.
[16:59] Stone
    There's more coming!
[17:04] Momo
    If that one hits us...
[17:09] Momo
    We won't make it!
[17:31] Momo
    You're...
[17:33] Char
    Stone's Treasure of Dreams is ours as well!
[17:38] Char
    We came to help you, Momo!
[17:39] Momo
    Thank you, everyone!
[17:41] Stone
    Okay, Momo!
[17:43] Stone
    Let's get over that bridge before
    the next missile barrage!
[17:48] Momo
    Right!
[18:00] Lu
    Wait, Momo.
[18:02] Lu
    You can't do it.
[18:05] Momo
    You're...
[18:08] Stone
    Lu?
[18:11] Lu
    Momo, thank you for everything.
[18:13] Lu
    But you're not me.
[18:15] Lu
    I'll make the conclusion to
    my and Stone's animation.
[18:19] Momo
    Okay.
[18:21] Lu
    Stone.
[18:23] Lu
    I don't think I can run away.
[18:26] Lu
    Even if I get over the cliff,
    they'll keep coming after me.
[18:29] Lu
    No matter how long I run,
    they'll keep coming.
[18:31] Lu
    I have the Treasure of Dreams.
[18:33] Lu
    I'm going to use this treasure, this
    power, to stay here and fight back.
[18:38] Lu
    To make my dream a reality!
[18:42] Stone
    Fight instead of running?
[18:45] Stone
    Okay, do what you like.
[18:48] Lu
    Thanks, Momo, everyone.
[18:50] Lu
    This dream is about Stone's animation.
[18:52] Lu
    I'm going to finish it my own way.
[18:55] Lu
    I'm sure you all have your
    own dreams waiting for you.
[19:00] Lu
    You have lots of dreams
    waiting for you, Momo.
[19:07] Lu
    Goodbye, everyone!
[19:11] Stone
    Thank you, Momo.

    Dear friend, never forget
[19:31] Lu
    You hold the future in your hand
[19:31] Lu

    Everyone was so busy. I'm the
    only one who could come out.
[20:14] Momo
    I get it.
[20:17] Rei
    I need to be going, too.
[20:19] Rei
    It's time to work.

    I've been through so many sleepless nights
[20:25] Rei
    Momo?
[20:26] Momo
    Yes?
[20:28] Rei
    I'm going to animate my
    own character someday.
[20:32] Momo
    The answer I found was a map of age 17
[20:32] Rei
    I'm... sure of it.
[20:40] Momo
    Yes...

    too busy chasing their dreams to come.
