    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    The Nightmare's Wish
[02:06] Momo
    "The Nightmare's Wish."
[02:21] Momo
    Who's there? Who's crying?
[02:27] Momo
    Who's there? Why are you crying?
[02:34] Nightmare
    This is the sea of sadness.
[02:37] Nightmare
    It's made from the tears cried by
    people who have lost their dreams.
[02:43] Momo
    The sea of sadness?
[02:45] Nightmare
    Yes. And the rain that falls from
    the sky is our tears of sadness.
[02:53] Momo
    Your tears?
[02:55] Momo
    Why are you crying?
[02:56] Momo
    What are you so sad about?
[03:13] Nightmare
    Some day, humans will lose their dreams,
[03:16] Nightmare
    and the fragments of those
    dreams will become bubbles,
[03:18] Nightmare
    which disappear into the sea.
[03:21] Nightmare
    In time, the tears of sadness will
    come together to form this sea.
[03:25] Nightmare
    They'll become great waves of sadness
    to consume that Earth over there...
[03:37] Momo
    Who are you?
[03:39] Momo
    Why are you disappearing?
[03:41] Nightmare
    Please, open the door!
[03:43] Nightmare
    Before all humans lose their dreams!
[03:46] Nightmare
    Let me out of here, please!
[03:52] Momo
    Wait! Who are you?!
[04:10] Momo
    Oh... it was a dream?
[04:13] Chamo
    Momo. I'm glad it was a dream.
[04:16] Momo
    Oh, sorry!
SIGN    I'm just glad you're okay.
SIGN    I was so worried!
[04:22] Lupi
    It was such a scary dream!
[04:25] Momo
    Did you have the same one?
[04:26] Trio
    Yeah, yeah!
[04:31] Momo
    The fog from my dream...
[04:34] Papa
    What?! A mysterious door?!
[04:38] Papa
    The Stickaround Art Museum is a respected
    building established 300 years ago!
[04:42] Papa
    I thought they'd find something in
    it someday, but a mysterious door?!
[04:45] Papa
    I'm on my way! Just leave it to me!
[04:49] Papa
    Grin!
[04:50] Papa
    Dear! Momo! I'm heading out to work!
[04:53] Mama
    You look so excited, dear!
[04:55] Mama
    But are you taking the bucket...
[04:57] Momo
    ...and the mop, too?
[05:00] Papa
    Oh, dear!
[05:02] Papa
    Oh, dear...
[05:04] Papa
    Oh, right! I can't stay here!
[05:06] Papa
    I've got to get to the
    Stickaround Art Museum!
[05:08] Papa
    Take this, please!
[05:09] Papa
    I'm heading out, dear!
[05:13] Mama
    Oh, he's so silly.
[05:15] Mama
    But I do love that about him!
[05:19] Chamo
    Love what about him?
[05:21] Momo
    But didn't he say something
    about a mysterious door?
[05:24] Lupi
    Yeah, and an art museum...
SIGN    A mysterious door at an art museum...
SIGN    It might be worth investigating.
[05:32] Momo
    Art is always worth investigating!
[05:34] Momo
    And where something's worth
    investigating, there's a mystery!
[05:36] Momo
    Anyway, let's go!
[05:38] Man
    As you can see, the building's
    getting quite old.
[05:41] Man
    We've been doing some repairs...
[05:44] Man
    In the process, we uncovered
    a curious door in the wall.
[05:47] Man
    There it is.
[05:51] Papa
    Oh, this?
[05:53] Papa
    Oh? But what is this language?
[05:57] Papa
    Without a guidebook...
[06:00] Man
    Could it be something dangerous?
[06:02] Papa
    I'm going to the library
    to decipher the text.
[06:05] Papa
    Just don't let anyone get close until then!
[06:07] Papa
    And call the repairs off, of course!
[06:09] Man
    Of course!
[06:11] Lupi
    Strange. Nobody's here.
[06:14] Momo
    I don't see Papa, either.
[06:15] Chamo
    It's so quiet and creepy!
SIGN    F-Feels kinda haunted...
[06:24] Momo
    It's haunted!
[06:29] Momo
    Who? Who's there?!
[06:37] Momo
    You're...
[06:38] Nightmare
    You came, didn't you?
[06:40] Chamo
    Hey! The bronze statue's talking!
SIGN    What? "Nightmare Statue" it says.
[06:48] Lupi
    Then the one who appeared in Momo's dream...
[06:50] Lupi
    It was a nightmare?!
[06:51] Momo
    Are you a nightmare?
[06:53] Momo
    Yes, I am the nightmare, Shadow.
[06:56] Shadow
    I'm in the basement.
[06:58] Shadow
    Open the door, quickly!
[06:59] Chamo
    Wh-What do we do, Momo?
[07:00] Momo
    H-How should I know?
[07:03] Shadow
    Please, let me out!
[07:06] Momo
    I can't let you out if you're a nightmare!
[07:10] Momo
    Yeah, yeah!
[07:11] Shadow
    Hey! I'm the Princess of Nightmareland
    that anybody who knows anybody knows!
[07:16] Momo
    W-Well, I'm a nobody who knows nobody...
[07:20] Momo
    Right?
[07:22] Momo
    Anyway, let's go home!
[07:25] Shadow
    Wait!
[07:25] Trio
    Yeah!
[07:26] Shadow
    If humans keep losing their dreams, the
    world will fall into the ocean of sadness!
[07:31] Shadow
    Isn't it better for humans to have any
    dreams, even if they're nightmares?
[07:36] Momo
    Better to have dreams...
    even if they're nightmares?
[07:46] Lupi
    She might have a point!
[07:48] Chamo
    Or she might not!
SIGN    But if might makes right...
[07:52] Momo
    It might be better than no dreams at all...
[07:54] Trio
    Right?
[07:57] Momo
    This door, right?
[08:01] Shadow
    Yes. Open it quickly!
[08:03] Momo
    But it looks like a pretty sturdy door!
[08:07] Chamo
    How do we open it?
[08:09] Lupi
    Sometimes you should let sleeping doors lie!
[08:12] Shadow
    Use the knocker on the door.
[08:14] Momo
    A knocker? I don't see one...
[08:19] Trio
    Momo...
[08:20] Shadow
    Now, use the knocker!
[08:35] Momo
    Nothing happened.
[08:56] Shadow
    Thank you, Momo.
[08:57] Shadow
    I've been waiting for you for so long.
[09:00] King
    Darling, is that...
[09:01] Queen
    Yes, the daughter of my distant
    relative, the Queen of Nightmareland.
[09:05] King
    Dee-da...
[09:07] King
    There were nightmarelands
    long ago when Marinarsa
[09:11] King
    and our cousin Fenarinarsa were
    still on the surface, weren't there?
[09:16] Queen
    Yes. We've lost contact with them,
    and I'd wondered what happened...
[09:20] Momo
    Um... what do you mean, you were waiting?
[09:23] Shadow
    I guess because you're a dreamland princess,
    and I'm a nightmareland princess.
[09:29] Momo
    Nightmareland?
[09:30] Shadow
    Yes. Long ago, when the world
    was still brimming with dreams,
[09:35] Shadow
    we nightmares existed in
    equal amounts with dreams.
[09:44] Shadow
    But humans found us terribly frightening.
[09:49] Shadow
    They locked us up in many
    places, and sealed us away.
[09:55] Momo
    That's awful!
[09:56] Shadow
    And in time, our nightmarelands
    vanished from the face of the earth.
[10:02] Shadow
    Everyone disappeared.
[10:04] Momo
    So you've been alone here all this time?
[10:07] Lupi
    Poor thing!
[10:09] Shadow
    Well, I wasn't lonely at all.
[10:12] Shadow
    When I closed my eyes, I could
    still hear my parents' voices.
[10:18] Shadow
    And then, that day...
[10:20] (Flashback) Queen
    Shadow. The humans are losing their dreams.
[10:25] (Flashback) Queen
    We will soon die out as well!
[10:29] Shadow
    They sounded very sad.
[10:32] Shadow
    So I decided I had to give dreams
    to the people who had lost them!
[10:37] Momo
    B-But... you're a nightmare, so...
[10:39] Shadow
    Even a nightmare is still a dream!
[10:41] Shadow
    They're no different than dreams at all!
[10:43] Momo
    I think they're pretty different, myself...
[10:45] Shadow
    If this world loses its
    dreams, we'll disappear.
[10:48] Shadow
    I can't let that happen, no matter what!
[10:51] Momo
    But you can't do it on your own.
[10:54] Shadow
    I'm not on my own.
[10:55] Shadow
    The others are on their way right now!
[10:57] Momo
    Huh? The others?
[10:59] Shadow
    The nightmares of nightmarelands
    hiding all over the world!
[11:05] Shadow
    That knocker before.
[11:07] Shadow
    That was the call for the nightmareland
    people to come together!
[11:09] Momo
    N-No way...
[11:11] Shadow
    You broke the seal.
[11:14] Shadow
    Thank you, Momo!
[11:15] Shadow
    Goodbye!
[11:17] Momo
    Hey! Wait, Shadow!
SIGN    This is terrible!
[11:21] Lupi
    Let's just...
[11:22] Chamo
    Go after her!
[11:23] Momo
    Yeah!
[11:41] Momo
    Shadow!
[11:45] Shadow
    Thank you for coming, everyone!
[11:47] Shadow
    The humans who feared us and sealed
    us away to suit themselves,
[11:51] Shadow
    have now lost their dreams and
    are trying to erase us entirely!
[11:55] Shadow
    Therefore, before the people
    fully lose their dreams,
[11:59] Shadow
    we have to give them as
    many nightmares as we can!
[12:03] Momo
    How awful. If they give people
    all those nightmares...
SIGN    Something awful will happen!
[12:08] Shadow
    It's time to take flight! Go!

    Minky Momo

    Embracing Dreams
[12:43] Chamo
    What now, Momo?
[12:44] Momo
    We have to convince her to stop!
[12:49] Shadow
    I'm too late! The world is
    already reduced to ruin!
[12:54] Momo
    Shadow, please! Stop the nightmares!
[12:57] Shadow
    It's awful! Too awful!
[12:58] Shadow
    The town's become a graveyard!
[13:01] Momo
    The town's become a graveyard?
SIGN    I think she thinks the high-rises are graves.
[13:05] Lupi
    She only knows what towns used to look like!
[13:08] Chamo
    That's culture shock for you.
[13:11] Momo
    I see. It must be a big shock, for sure!
[13:14] Shadow
    The humans are all dead.
[13:17] Shadow
    If there's no humans to dream,
    what's going to happen to me?!
[13:21] Momo
    Shadow, humans aren't dead at all!
[13:24] Momo
    They're all here, still alive!
[13:27] Shadow
    They're alive?
[13:29] Shadow
    But how can they live in graves?
    Humans have the strangest taste...
[13:34] Momo
    They're not graves!
[13:39] Shadow
    A dinosaur! Or a monster!
[13:43] Shadow
    Please, don't eat me!
[13:44] Momo
    Shadow, that's not a monster
    or a dinosaur! It's a plane!
[13:49] Momo
    It's a vehicle with lots of people on board!
[13:51] Shadow
    A vehicle?
[13:52] Momo
    Yes. It flies them all around the place!
[13:56] Shadow
    Humans are inside that big tube of steel?
[14:00] Shadow
    Yeah!
[14:03] Shadow
    They're not scared at all?
[14:06] Shadow
    But what would happen if it fell?
[14:09] Momo
    That would be way worse than a nightmare...
[14:14] Woman
    It's a nightmare!
[14:16] Shadow
    Someone's calling for a nightmare!
[14:18] Momo
    Shadow, wait!
[14:25] Woman
    It's a nightmare!
[14:26] Woman
    Will that do?
[14:27] Director
    It's perfect! Fantastic!
[14:30] Director
    We couldn't make this horror
    spectacle without you!
[14:33] Woman
    I'll try one more time, then.
[14:35] Woman
    A nightmare!
[14:37] Shadow
    Hi! Shadow, the nightmare, reporting in!
[14:41] Shadow
    Oh? You didn't call me?
[14:44] Director
    Okay, time to roll!
[14:55] Momo
    Dear, oh dear.
[14:56] Trio
    Dear, oh dear...
[14:58] Shadow
    Monsters... scary monsters...
[15:02] Shadow
    Monsters!
[15:05] Shadow
    Huh?
[15:06] Momo
    Those weren't monsters.
[15:09] Momo
    They're...
[15:10] Chamo
    Special effects for horror movies!
[15:12] Shadow
    Horror movies?
SIGN    Movies where humans portray the imaginary things that scare them!
[15:19] Shadow
    They imagine such awful things?
[15:21] Shadow
    Humans are made of sterner stuff!
[15:24] Shadow
    I can't keep up!
[15:26] Momo
    I can't keep up with you!
[15:29] Shadow
    No, this is no time to cry.
[15:31] Shadow
    I need a nightmare scary enough to scare
    humans who can imagine such scary things!
[15:36] Shadow
    Okay, now I'm on fire!
[15:39] Shadow
    Time to put my thoughts into practice!
[15:41] Momo
    Wait!
[15:43] Momo
    And there she goes.
[15:45] Momo
    She bounces back quickly, at least.
[15:52] Shadow
    First, someone to give a nightmare to...
[15:58] Biker
    Hey, hey, hey!
[16:01] Shadow
    Wh-What are those?!
[16:02] Shadow
    No, this is no time to be scared...
[16:05] Shadow
    They're humans!
[16:06] Shadow
    Go, nightmare powers!
[16:10] Shadow
    Take this!
[16:19] Biker
    What the heck is that?!
[16:24] Biker
    Awesome!
[16:26] Biker
    This rocks!
[16:27] Biker
    It's like a video game!
[16:29] Biker
    Let's go!
[16:32] Shadow
    Th-They aren't scared?!
[16:39] Shadow
    This is a nightmare, right?
[16:43] Momo
    Shadow!
[16:45] Shadow
    Momo...
[16:54] Shadow
    That was a big setback.
[16:56] Shadow
    But this time, I'll show
    them a real nightmare!
[17:12] Shadow
    This is what will happen
    to the Earth some day!
[17:14] Man
    That's right!
[17:17] Man
    Someday, sometime, this planet,
    lacking in hopes and dreams,
[17:22] Man
    will become uninhabited.
[17:24] Man
    And...
[17:25] Man
    According to the prophecies of Nostradamus,
[17:28] Man
    in the near future, humans
    will die out very soon!
[17:31] Woman
    We don't have much time left, anyway, so
    there's no point in worrying about it.
[17:36] Man
    Better for it to go out with a boom!
[17:45] Shadow
    Stop it!
[17:49] Man
    Oh? I thought I heard a
    girl's voice just now.
[17:54] Man
    Am I hearing things, perhaps?
[17:56] Shadow
    The world being destroyed...
[17:58] Shadow
    Whose nightmare was that?!
[18:00] Momo
    She's crying again.
[18:01] Shadow
    Momo.
[18:03] Shadow
    Isn't there anyone more innocent here?
[18:05] Shadow
    Someone who would actually be
    frightened by our nightmares...
[18:09] Shadow
    That's it! I can't expect
    anything from "civilization"!
[18:14] Shadow
    I'll head for the savannah!
[18:15] Momo
    Why the savannah?
[18:16] Shadow
    The people of the savannah
    chase lions and hunt game!
[18:21] Shadow
    They're much more innocent!
[18:23] Shadow
    That's it! Let's head for the savannah!
[18:26] Lupi
    She's got serious mood swings.
SIGN    Seriously.
[18:32] Shadow
    What is this place?
[18:43] Shadow
    Wh-Who are these people?
[18:46] Momo
    What are you talking about?
[18:47] Momo
    They're the people you came here for, right?
[18:52] Shadow
    I'm the Princess of Nightmareland
    who anybody who knows anybody knows!
[18:57] Shadow
    So I'm going to give you
    a nice little nightmare...
[19:02] Man
    Can we eat these nightmares of you?
[19:07] Man
    Can we eat them?
[19:10] Momo
    Not good!
[19:11] Trio
    Oh, no!
[19:13] Momo
    You can't eat them! You can't eat them!
SIGN    They're gonna eat us!
[19:24] Momo
    That was a close call!
[19:26] Shadow
    Papa... Mama...
[19:31] Momo
    I think she's dreaming.
[19:33] Chamo
    She look so happy!
SIGN    Shadow looks like a normal girl when she's dreaming.
[19:40] Momo
    Well, let's head back.
[19:44] Shadow
    It's no use. My nightmare
    power doesn't work on them.
[19:50] Shadow
    Humans don't have a fragment of dreams left.
[19:53] Momo
    That's not true!
[19:54] Momo
    They still have dreams in their heart.
[19:57] Momo
    I know they do!
[19:58] Shadow
    How can they believe in hopes and dreams
[20:00] Shadow
    when they don't even believe
    in dreams and nightmares?
[20:05] Shadow
    Hey, Momo.
[20:07] Shadow
    You came from a dreamland to
    bring people dreams, right?
[20:11] Momo
    From Marinarsa, yeah.
[20:13] Shadow
    But I think it's a hopeless cause.
[20:15] Shadow
    Humanity's clearly losing all its dreams.
[20:18] Shadow
    It is possible! I'm gonna work hard!
[20:21] Shadow
    Not possible!
[20:22] Shadow
    Is so!
[20:26] Shadow
    Even I can't do it, maybe the
    nightmares will work something out.
[20:30] Momo
    I hope you're right.
[20:33] Momo
    Hey, hey, no I don't!
[20:35] Shadow
    What's your problem?
[20:35] Lupi
    Hey, the nightmares are back!
[20:38] Shadow
    I hope it went well for them!
[20:39] Nightmares
    Help us, Princess Shadow!
[20:42] Nightmares
    I've never met a group of
    people so lacking in dreams!
[20:46] Nightmares
    I can't do this anymore!
[20:48] Nightmares
    Reality is so terrifying, not
    even us nightmares can compete!
[20:52] Shadow
    You guys...
[20:53] Nightmares
    Princess Shadow...
[20:56] Shadow
    Everyone, we nightmares have
    lost to a dreamless reality.
[21:02] Shadow
    In an age without any innocent
    people who believe in dreams,
[21:06] Shadow
    we nightmares have no choice
    but to hide out again.
[21:09] Shadow
    Let's go back to where we came from,
    until an age of dreams returns!
[21:14] Nightmares
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:22] Woman
    It's closing time.
[21:24] Papa
    C-Closing time?
[21:25] Papa
    Um... what was I looking up, again?
[21:30] Woman
    How should I know?
[21:32] Shadow
    Thank you, Momo.
[21:34] Momo
    We'll meet again, right?
[21:35] Shadow
    Yeah, in an age brimming with dreams.
[21:39] Momo
    I know it'll come!
[21:41] Shadow
    Take care until then, Momo!
[21:43] Shadow
    Goodbye!
[21:47] Momo
    No need to say goodbye.
[21:49] Momo
    I know we'll meet again!
SIGN    I hope that day comes soon.
[21:54] Momo
    Yeah!
[21:58] Queen
    The nightmares had to go
    back where they came from.
[22:03] King
    Dee-da...
[22:04] King
    Momo will just have to keep working
    to bring back an age of dreams!
