    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!

    "The Mysterious Movie Theater Mystery."
[02:17] Mama
    How many years has it been
    since we saw a movie together?
[02:20] Papa
    It reminds me of when
    we were newlyweds, dear.
[02:23] Mama
    It does!
[02:24] Papa
    You haven't changed a bit since then!
[02:26] Mama
    Oh, dear, you silly!
[02:28] Chamo
    Listen to those lovebirds!
[02:30] Chamo
    I feel less like we're going
    with Momo's parents...
[02:33] Chamo
    and more like we're a fifth wheel!
[02:35] Momo
    Yeah. I'm the one who
    got the invitation, too!
[02:45] Momo
    Mister!
[02:49] Ferris
    Hey, Momo! Welcome!
[02:50] Momo
    Thanks for the invitation!
[02:52] Momo
    I came right away!
[02:54] Ferris
    Good, good.
[02:55] Ferris
    It's called The Dreaming Girl.
[02:57] Ferris
    I thought it was a perfect movie for you.
[02:59] Ferris
    It's lovely!
[03:01] Papa
    Oh, Mr. Ferris!
[03:02] Papa
    Thank you for inviting us.
[03:04] Mama
    We were terribly honored!
[03:06] Ferris
    Oh? I thought I only invited Momo...
[03:10] Ferris
    But that's fine.
[03:12] Ferris
    Today's the last showing for
    this theater, after all.
[03:14] Momo
    The last showing?
[03:16] Ferris
    We're closing tomorrow.
[03:18] All
    Closing?!
[03:19] Ferris
    Yes.
[03:20] Ferris
    Fewer and fewer children are
    coming to movies these days.
[03:25] Ferris
    As the years pass, they're
    making new high-rise buildings.
[03:31] Papa
    What a waste! This is a historical building!
[03:34] Momo
    So this place is going away?
[03:37] Ferris
    Yes.
[03:42] Mama
    Hey, dear!
[03:44] Mama
    Do you remember the movie
    we saw for our first date?
[03:48] Papa
    Of course I remember.
    It was Romeo and Juliet!
[03:51] Papa
    And since then, you have been my Juliet!
[03:54] Mama
    My!
[03:56] Papa
    Aren't I a goof?
[03:59] Mama
    Oh, dear!
[04:01] Chamo
    They never get sick of it, huh?
[04:04] Rock
    You're a liar, Grandpa!
[04:05] Rock
    You promised you'd keep this
    theater running forever!
[04:08] Rock
    You said you'd protect
    it! You swore you would!
[04:11] Ferris
    I didn't have a choice. Please, understand.
[04:13] Ferris
    No! I won't let them destroy this theater!
[04:15] Ferris
    I hate you, Grandpa!
[04:17] Ferris
    Rock!
[04:20] Momo
    Hey, watch where you're going!
[04:23] Rock
    It's your fault for standing there!
[04:25] Rock
    Hey, wait!
[04:27] Rock
    You aren't hurt, are you, Momo?
[04:29] Momo
    I'm okie-dokie.
[04:31] Momo
    Thanks.
[04:32] Ferris
    I'm sorry about that. That
    was my grandson, Rock.
[04:36] Momo
    Your grandson?
[04:38] Ferris
    His parents passed away in an
    accident when he was a baby.
[04:41] Ferris
    It's just been the two of us ever since.
[04:44] Ferris
    He grew up here and loves this
    theater more than anyone,
[04:49] Ferris
    and tomorrow it's closing.
[04:51] Ferris
    It's been quite hard on him.
[04:53] Momo
    I see.
[04:55] Momo
    Hey, where'd my parents go?
[04:58] Momo
    Darn it, they left me!
[05:01] Momo
    Hey, mister?
[05:04] Momo
    What's going on?
SIGN    Momo, what's going on?!
[05:09] Momo
    Well, let's go inside and find Mama and Papa!
[05:15] Momo
    Why is it so dark?
SIGN    Well, it is a movie theater.
SIGN    I guess the prospects here really are dim!
[05:24] Momo
    Stop joking around—
[05:52] Momo
    Are we...
SIGN    Are we having some kind of weird dream?
[05:59] Momo
    I can't understand what's going on!
[06:01] Momo
    Let's get back to the theater, now!
[06:07] Momo
    What?! The theater's gone, la-dee-da!
[06:11] Lupi
    If the theater's gone,
    where are your parents?!
[06:15] Momo
    Maybe they went back to
    town to get their lunches?
[06:18] Momo
    Anyway, let's go back to town!
[06:20] Mama
    Where could Momo and the pets have gone?
[06:23] Mama
    Good question.
[06:24] Mama
    Did they go in before us?
[06:28] Momo
    Papa! Mama!
[06:31] Ann
    Breaking news.
[06:33] Ann
    Just today—as there
    hasn't been a yesterday—
[06:36] Ann
    an amusement park for children
    was built in Stickaround City.
[06:39] Ann
    This ends the news's final episode.
[06:42] Ann
    There will be no more news.
[06:43] Ann
    Now, goodbye!
[06:46] Momo
    The news's final episode?
[06:48] Chamo
    What does it mean?
SIGN    No idea...
[06:53] Robot
    Welcome to Children's Town electronics shop!
[06:56] Robot
    Welcome!
[06:57] Momo
    What's going on?
[06:58] Lupi
    He's moving all weird and stiff!
[07:00] Chamo
    Hey, look at that intersection!
SIGN    Momo, something's up!
[07:11] Momo
    What is it?
SIGN    Look carefully! There aren't any adults!
[07:16] Momo
    No adults?
SIGN    It's all children and those weird robots!
SIGN    There's no adults at all!
[07:22] Lupi
    Momo, look at that!
[07:30] Momo
    Was there always an amusement park here?
[07:33] King
    La-dee-da!
[07:34] King
    She went in the theater and it disappeared!
[07:37] King
    And now the town is all children and robots!
[07:40] King
    What's going on here, dee-da?!
[07:44] Queen
    There must be a mysterious power at work.
[07:48] King
    Mystery is heavy stuff!
[07:51] Robot
    Yes, fries, cola and a hamburger!
[07:54] Robot
    Here you are!
[07:55] Robot
    Thanks!
[07:59] Momo
    Everyone's having so much fun!
SIGN    Of course they are, but isn't it a bit odd?
[08:03] Momo
    Yeah...
[08:05] Momo
    Hey, you two!
[08:07] Kid
    Yeah?
[08:08] Momo
    Have you seen my parents?
[08:11] Girl
    What does she mean?
[08:12] Boy
    No idea.
[08:13] Momo
    Oh, right. Obviously they
    don't know my parents!
[08:17] Girl
    What are "parents"?
[08:20] Boy
    No idea.
[08:21] Boy
    Weird girl.
[08:23] Boy
    Yeah!
[08:24] Rock
    Your parents aren't here.
[08:27] Momo
    Rock?
[08:29] Rock
    This is a dream city just for kids!
[08:32] Momo
    Just for kids?
[08:33] Momo
    Then where are my parents?
[08:34] Momo
    Where are the adults?
[08:36] Rock
    We don't need adults here!
[08:39] Momo
    Hey, wait!
[08:43] Lupi
    Momo!
[08:45] Lupi
    He went in there!
[08:49] Momo
    You think this is...
[08:52] Trio
    A haunted house?!
[08:54] Momo
    I'm not scared of anything
    in this weird world!
[08:59] Momo
    I'm back in the dark again!
SIGN    Well, of course a haunted house is dark.
[09:05] Chamo
    Bring on the haunting, then!
[09:13] Robot
    Welcome to the Children's Town haunted house!
[09:18] Robot
    Welcome to the Children's Town haunted house!
[09:22] Momo
    Hey, don't scare me at a time like this!
[09:25] Robot
    Welcome to the Children's Town haunted house!
[09:26] Momo
    Okay, I'm borrowing this!
[09:28] Momo
    C'mon! Let's go!
[09:29] Robot
    Welcome! Welcome!
[09:30] Trio
    Wait, Momo!
[09:34] Chamo
    Momo, isn't this weird?
SIGN    I feel like we're walking in circles.
[09:42] Momo
    What now?

    Minky Momo

    Embracing Dreams
[10:19] Momo
    Where are we?
SIGN    I think we're back in the theater.
[10:25] Momo
    Hey! Is that Stickaround City?
[10:29] Lupi
    What's going on?
[10:35] Chamo
    I think we're going crazy too!
[10:38] Rock
    You wanna know what's going on?
[10:40] Momo
    Rock!
[10:43] Momo
    What's going on here, Rock?
[10:45] Rock
    This theater has always brought me dreams.
[10:49] Rock
    It understands how children feel.
[10:52] Rock
    And it grants children's dreams in movies.
[10:55] Momo
    Children's... dreams?
[10:57] Rock
    Yeah.
[10:59] Momo
    Then why is a town without
    adults the children's dream?
[11:02] Momo
    I'm a child, but I don't dream about that!
[11:05] Momo
    I don't want a city without adults!
[11:07] Rock
    Adults are all liars!
[11:09] Rock
    I hate them all.
[11:10] Rock
    I want them gone!
[11:14] Rock
    I thought it would be great to
    have a city without grown-ups.
[11:16] Rock
    And then my dream came true!
[11:19] Momo
    No! Look behind you!
[11:21] Momo
    The children's parents are
    looking so hard for them!
[11:24] Rock
    It's too late.
[11:25] Rock
    My dream has already started passing
    through that film projector.
[11:28] Rock
    My dream of a city of children only!
[11:32] Momo
    Your dream is on that film?
[11:34] Rock
    Yes. There's no time left.
[11:37] Momo
    What do you mean, no time?
[11:39] Rock
    In two hours, when the film
    runs out, the movie will end.
[11:42] Rock
    When the clock on the projector reaches 12,
[11:45] Rock
    that's when this city will be fully split
    off from the real world and become eternal.
[11:49] Rock
    Yes, my dream will become eternal!
[11:52] Lupi
    Momo, it's awful!
[11:54] Lupi
    The hands of the clock are already at 11!
[11:57] Momo
    What did you say?
[12:00] Momo
    Stop this, Rock!
[12:01] Momo
    Send them back to the city, please!
[12:04] Rock
    No! You can't stop the projector now!
[12:07] Rock
    And neither Grandpa, who built it,
    nor any other grown-ups are here!
[12:11] Rock
    It's too late!
[12:13] Momo
    Rock...
[12:14] Mama
    That's odd. The movie doesn't
    seem to be starting,
[12:18] Mama
    and Momo's run off, dear.
[12:20] Papa
    Yeah, what could have happened?
[12:22] Parents
    Where are you? Where are you?
[12:25] Mama
    What's going on? It's rather noisy out there!
[12:28] Papa
    Let's investigate!
[12:32] Mama
    Oh? Are they looking for something?
[12:34] Mother
    Jim! Jim!
[12:34] Papa
    Ma'am, did you drop something?
[12:37] Mother
    My son's gone missing!
[12:39] Mother
    No, all the children in the
    city have been kidnapped!
[12:43] Both
    What? Kidnapped?!
[13:00] Lupi
    Momo! Your parents must be
    really worried about you!
[13:05] Momo
    Yeah. I did go missing, after all.
[13:08] Parents
    Come back, dear!
[13:10] Momo
    Papa! Mama!
[13:13] Mama
    All the children in the
    city have gone missing!
[13:15] Mama
    This is a huge case!
[13:17] Papa
    You think Momo was kidnapped too?!
[13:20] Mama
    Yes, Momo is the clue to this case!
[13:23] Mama
    If we can get in touch with
    Momo, we'll solve the case!
[13:26] Mama
    It will all be resolved!
[13:28] Papa
    Does that mean you know where she is, dear?
[13:31] Mama
    Oh, right. If she was
    kidnapped, I don't know!
[13:35] Mama
    Where are you, Momo?!
[13:37] Momo
    That's pathetic.
[13:48] Momo
    They all want to go home!
[13:50] Momo
    Right...
SIGN    What are you going to do, Momo?
[13:53] Momo
    What do we think? I'll use magic
    to return things to normal!
[13:57] Momo
    Magic, please! Return the town to normal!
[14:07] Kid
    Papa!
[14:09] Momo
    Huh?
[14:14] Momo
    Why? The magic didn't work!
[14:16] Lupi
    Momo!
[14:17] Momo
    Okay, let's try it again!
SIGN    It won't work, Momo.
SIGN    This is that boy's dream.
SIGN    Your magic won't work here.
SIGN    Even if the children wish to go home,
SIGN    unless he wants it, there's
    nothing we can do.
[14:33] King
    Dee-da...
[14:35] King
    Not even Momo's magic can fix this?!
[14:38] Queen
    It can't be helped.
[14:40] Queen
    Momo can't do anything
    within that boy's dream!
[14:53] Ferris
    Drat, I fell asleep.
[14:57] Ferris
    It's a sad thought. I suppose this
    is our last day together as well.
[15:04] Ferris
    What's all this?
[15:11] Ferris
    C-Can it be...
[15:13] Ferris
    Wh-What in the world...
[15:17] Ferris
    What's keeping you running?
[15:28] Mama
    An ever-more-mysterious kidnapping!
[15:31] Mama
    My detective's instinct are burning!
[15:34] Man
    Hey, everyone!
[15:36] Man
    The children are in the theater!
[15:38] Man
    The children are inside!
[15:41] Man
    The theater?
[15:43] Woman
    What did you say?
[15:44] Man
    Hey, the children are
    in the Stickaround Theater!
[15:50] Papa
    Dear, let's go in!
[15:51] Mama
    Right!
[16:40] Man
    Mr. Ferris, what is the meaning of this?
[16:43] Woman
    Explain yourself!
[16:45] Ferris
    Well...
[16:46] Papa
    Stop it! This is no time to
    throw around accusations!
[17:11] Parents
    John!
[17:11] Parents
    Maria!
[17:14] Kid
    Papa!
[17:15] Kid
    Mama!
[17:16] Kid
    Papa!
[17:17] Kid
    John!
[17:18] Kid
    Mama!
[17:19] Kid
    Maria!
[17:29] Momo
    It's disappearing.
SIGN    It wasn't the grown-ups who disappeared from the city, but the children.
[17:36] Chamo
    What does that mean?
SIGN    Look.
SIGN    The children are returning to reality of their own free will.
[17:44] Momo
    Which means...
[17:48] Momo
    It's true. They're all back.
SIGN    It was that boy's dream that entered the theater's screen, then.
[17:55] Rock
    You're all traitors!
[17:58] Rock
    If you wanna go back, do it!
[18:00] Momo
    Rock...
[18:10] Rock
    You can go back if you want, too.
[18:12] Momo
    No. Come back with me.
[18:14] Momo
    I can't leave you here alone!
[18:16] Rock
    Do what you want.
[18:18] Rock
    I'm not going back! I don't
    wanna become a grown-up!
[18:22] Momo
    Why? Why don't you dream
    of becoming a grown-up?
[18:25] Rock
    I do. My dream is to become a grown-up!
[18:28] Momo
    What do you mean?
[18:30] Rock
    That's why I can't grow up!
[18:33] Rock
    Don't you see?
[18:34] Rock
    Once you grow up, you can't
    keep dreaming like you used to!
[18:38] Rock
    That's right. Growing up means
    giving up on your dreams.
[18:43] Rock
    This theater let me dream.
[18:46] Rock
    I don't want to become the kind of
    grown-up who would tear it down!
[18:49] Ferris
    Rock!
[18:52] Ferris
    Rock. Growing up doesn't
    mean giving up on dreams.
[18:56] Ferris
    It means making them come true!
[18:58] Rock
    Grandpa...
[19:00] Ferris
    I wanted to show the children
    so many dreams in movies.
[19:05] Ferris
    I worked so hard to create
    this projector, as well.
[19:08] Ferris
    And so many children came to this
    theater and saw so many dreamworlds.
[19:15] Ferris
    Through this theater, I was able to
    bring dreams to so many children.
[19:19] Ferris
    I made their dreams come true!
[19:22] Ferris
    The dream I couldn't make
    come true as a child,
[19:24] Ferris
    I could make come true as a grown-up.
[19:28] Rock
    As a grown-up?
[19:30] Ferris
    Yes, as a grown-up I made the dreams
    from my childhood come true.
[19:34] Rock
    But if they tear the theater down, the
    theater of my dreams will go away!
[19:40] Rock
    I don't want that!
[19:45] Ferris
    Then, when you grow up,
    make your own theater.
[19:50] Rock
    My own?
[19:52] Ferris
    Yes. Make the theater of your dreams!
[19:55] Momo
    Yeah, that sounds great! Really great!
[19:57] Ferris
    The theater of my dreams?
[19:59] Momo
    Show it to them, Rock!
[20:01] Momo
    Show them the theater of your dreams!
[20:04] Rock
    When I grow up, I can make my own theater...
[20:08] Rock
    The theater of my dreams?
[20:12] Momo
    Magic, please! Show us Rock's dream!
[21:27] Momo
    Mister!
[21:30] Momo
    Rock!
[21:32] Momo
    You came to see it!
[21:33] Rock
    Yeah. Let's watch that
    world of dreams together.
[21:37] Momo
    Yeah!
[21:38] Rock
    Someday, I'll make the theater of my dreams.
[21:41] Rock
    After I grow up.
[21:43] Momo
    Rock...
[21:57] Queen
    When children grow up, they
    make their dreams come true.
[22:00] Queen
    Someday, that boy will too.
[22:02] Queen
    Right, darling?
[22:04] Queen
    Oh?
[22:05] King
    I hope the children continue to work hard,
    and aren't crushed by the mysteries of life!
[22:12] Papa
    Hey, Momo!
[22:14] Mama
    Momo! Don't leave us behind!
[22:17] Momo
    Papa, Mama!
[22:18] Momo
    Hurry, hurry!
[22:19] Momo
    The movie's starting!
[22:21] Papa
    Oh, how awful! Wait!
