[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
    In a universe over there, in an Earth
    over there, in a city over there,
[01:47] Narrator
    there lived a girl.
[01:50] Narrator
    She looked like a completely normal
    girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
[01:53] Narrator
    The one difference was...
[01:56] Narrator
    The girl could use magic to
    transform into a grown-up!
[02:00] Narrator
    They called her Minky Momo.
SIGN    The Video Rental Prairie
[02:06] Momo
    "The Video Rental Prairie."
[02:49] Jane
    Thank goodness! I'm so glad.
[02:52] Momo
    Hey, this is great!
[02:55] Chamo
    What's up, Momo?
SIGN    Is there an emergency?!
[03:03] Momo
    Take that!
[03:05] Chamo
    What are you doing?
[03:06] Lupi
    Momo, that's quite enough!
[03:09] Momo
    Sorry, sorry.
[03:11] Momo
    But look, look, look at this show!
[03:14] Momo
    It's all the rage, Big House
    on the Little Prairie.
[03:17] Momo
    It's the story of a beautiful
    young lady in a Wild West setting!
[03:21] Momo
    I wish I could be like her!
[03:22] Momo
    Living a dynamic lifestyle with
    animals in a wide-open world...
[03:27] Chamo
    I guess I see why Momo would be excited.
[03:29] Lupi
    She found life in Marinarsa so stifling,
[03:32] Lupi
    she left looking for a more wide-open world.
[03:41] Chamo
    Instead of watching videos, why don't
    you do your homework or something?
[03:45] Momo
    The new Big House on the
    Little Prairie is coming out.
[03:48] Momo
    How am I supposed to study
    when I'm thinking about it?
[03:50] Momo
    That's bad for your health!
SIGN    Is it, really?
[03:55] Momo
    Yep, it sure is!
[04:07] Momo
    There it is!
[04:08] Momo
    Jane's latest is out!
[04:13] Momo
    Cookbook. Return the other one for me, okay?
[04:21] Momo
    I got here first.
[04:23] Leroy
    I got here first.
[04:25] Momo
    I've watched every episode
    of the series so far!
[04:28] Leroy
    So have I!
[04:31] Momo
    Wait a minute. I just got a good idea.
[04:35] Momo
    Why don't you rent it after me?
[04:39] Leroy
    What the heck? No way!
[04:41] Momo
    Then let's fight it out.
[04:43] Momo
    Just name the game!
[04:47] Momo
    What are you doing?
[04:48] Man
    I'll take that late fee, please.
[04:52] Momo
    I can't rent a new video until I pay that?
[04:56] Momo
    But I'm a loyal customer!
    Could you give me a break?
[04:59] Man
    No!
[05:01] Momo
    Erk.
[05:05] Momo
    I'll return it right away. Can you let
    me borrow it for just a little while?
[05:09] Leroy
    No. I've been looking forward
    to Jane's new release, too.
[05:13] Momo
    Please, please, please! Be flexible!
[05:16] Leroy
    I won't be flexible, not on this.
[05:20] Cook
    Momo. You'll just have to
    rent it after he returns it.
[05:24] Momo
    I can't. Paying the late fee
    took my entire allowance.
[05:29] Momo
    Jane! Come back!
[05:34] Queen
    Oh, Momo.
[05:35] Queen
    She's always slacking on her
    studies to watch those tapes.
[05:38] King
    You're wrong!
[05:40] King
    Studying doesn't always mean tying
    yourself to a desk and reading books.
[05:44] King
    You can also learn a lot about the
    world from watching tapes, la-dee-da!
[05:50] King
    Dee-da...
[05:51] Queen
    Oh?
[05:55] Queen
    What was that, darling?
[05:57] King
    Oh, well...
[05:59] King
    La-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da...
[06:03] Queen
    Darling!
[06:04] King
    Yes, dear?
[06:07] Queen
    Why don't we study together later?
[06:10] Queen
    La-dee-da!
[06:23] Momo
    I can't do it! I just can't do it!
SIGN    What are you doing, Momo?
[06:28] Momo
    I tried imagining what Jane might be up to
[06:31] Momo
    in the latest Big House on
    the Little Prairie release,
[06:34] Momo
    but my imagination isn't nearly as much fun.
SIGN    Of course it isn't!
[06:40] Momo
    Yeah, I guess it wouldn't be.
[06:41] Momo
    I shouldn't beat myself up.
[06:43] Chamo
    Stop worrying and get to sleep already.
[06:46] Lupi
    You'll just have to dream
    about Jane's adventures.
[06:50] Momo
    I'm too curious to sleep! That's the problem!
[06:55] Momo
    I can't take it!
[06:57] Momo
    Boredom and self-repression
    are bad for your health.
[06:59] Momo
    Sometimes you have to take matters
    into your own hands, la-dee-da!
[07:02] Book
    La-dee-da?
[07:09] Chamo
    What's she got in mind?
SIGN    There are times when I don't know what's going through Momo's head.
SIGN    I've got a plan to get that tape!
SIGN    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
SIGN    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
SIGN    Become a video rental clerk with a Minky touch!
SIGN    That seems about right.
[08:00] Momo
    I'm sorry I'm late.
[08:02] Momo
    I'll take over here, so you can
    take a nap in the back room.
[08:07] Man
    Oh, thanks a bunch.
[08:15] Man
    What? Has she always been working here?
[08:18] Man
    Well, never mind.
[08:20] Momo
    Little House on the Big Prairie...
[08:24] Momo
    Leroy Brown. 14 years old.
[08:28] Momo
    And where does he live?
[08:36] Father
    Leroy's been holed up in his room ever
    since he got back from cram school.
[08:40] Father
    I hope he's all right.
[08:42] Mother
    He'll be in high school next year, after all.
[08:44] Mother
    We need him to work hard.
[08:46] Father
    When we were his age, we would run
    around outside until it got dark.
[08:51] Mother
    That was a different time.
[08:54] Mother
    No children play outside
    until it gets dark anymore.
[08:59] Father
    I suppose...
[09:04] Mother
    Yes?
[09:05] Momo
    Good evening! I'm so sorry to
    bother you so late at night.
[09:09] Momo
    I came to pick up a video.
[09:10] Mother
    Oh. But...
[09:12] Momo
    Would Leroy's room be this way?
[09:14] Momo
    Don't you worry.
[09:16] Momo
    We pick up videos all the
    time. It's a free service.
[09:20] Mother
    What a strange video rental company.
[09:27] Leroy
    Go, Jane! Don't let those
    horse rustlers get you!
[09:32] Momo
    Wow, you're really serious!
[09:34] Leroy
    Who are you?
[09:35] Momo
    I came from the video
    store to return your tape.
[09:41] Leroy
    H-Hey, I haven't finished watching it yet!
[09:45] Leroy
    Jane's foal was in danger!
[09:48] Momo
    Shut up!
[09:50] Momo
    Jane this, Jane that.
[09:51] Momo
    You know that Jane is just a
    character in a show, right?
[09:55] Momo
    Why not fall in love with
    a real, live girl instead?
[10:00] Leroy
    I-It's not like that.
[10:02] Momo
    A heart pounding date. A walk in a park.
[10:05] Momo
    And a passionate first kiss!
[10:07] Momo
    Why not give it a try?
[10:09] Leroy
    You think there's a real cheerful, carefree,
    energetic girl like Jane out there?
[10:14] Momo
    Oh, I bet there is!
[10:16] Leroy
    No way! There couldn't be!
[10:19] Momo
    Then if you found a girl like
    Jane, would you date her?
[10:24] Leroy
    Yeah! But only if she was
    really just like Jane.
[10:27] Momo
    Then just leave it to me.
[10:28] Momo
    I'll introduce you to a girl just like
    Jane tomorrow at noon at Legend Park.
[10:34] Momo
    You just leave it to me!
[10:38] Leroy
    A real live girl just like Jane?
[10:42] Leroy
    Oh, darn it! She took the tape!
[10:45] Momo
    Go! Go, go, Jane!
[10:48] Jane
    Get back here, horse rustlers!
[10:51] Rustler
    Shut up, brat!
[11:05] Momo
    So cool!
SIGN    How many times has she watched it since last night?
SIGN    Momo is totally addicted.
[11:11] Lupi
    But why do you think Leroy
    is so obsessed with Jane?
[11:15] Lupi
    There must be a reason.
[11:16] Lupi
    I'd prefer a real live girl, myself.
[11:20] Momo
    But if there were a real girl just
    like Jane, I'd like her, too.
SIGN    Hey, Momo.
SIGN    Weren't you going to introduce him to a girl just like Jane today at noon?
[11:32] Momo
    What?
[11:32] Momo
    I can't do that.
[11:34] Momo
    Girls like that don't grow on trees.
SIGN    You made a promise.
[11:40] Momo
    I just made that up to get the tape.
[11:46] Momo
    Guess you won't let up on
    me, huh? So much glaring...
[11:50] Momo
    Fine, fine.
[11:52] Momo
    I just have to keep my promise, right?
[11:54] Momo
    But where will I ever find
    a girl just like Jane?
[11:58] Momo
    Oh! I know just where to find one!
[12:01] Trio
    Where? Where?
[12:03] Momo
    In the TV!
[12:05] Momo
    Don't forget, I'm still a fairy princess.
SIGN    What are you going to do, Momo?
[12:10] Chamo
    I thought you used up all your
    power coming to the surface.
[12:14] Momo
    But if you scrape the corner of a
    cookie tin, you sometimes find crumbs!
SIGN    What does that mean?
[12:21] Momo
    I might still have some
    magical power left somewhere.
[12:25] Momo
    Bring the characters from
    the TV show into real life!
[12:35] Momo
    Yeah, I figured it wouldn't work...
[13:02] Mama
    Momo! It's lunchtime!
[13:09] Jane
    Sorry, ma'am!
SIGN    Drat! She saw it!
[13:18] Momo
    I think it's okay.
[13:20] Momo
    She's passed out on her feet.
[13:22] Momo
    C'mon, let's go!
SIGN    This has really gotten out of hand.
[13:25] Momo
    This is gonna be so much fun!
SIGN    She isn't listening to anybody.

[14:04] Leroy
    There's no girl just like Jane here.
[14:07] Leroy
    That girl from the rental store
    was just making stuff up.
[14:20] Leroy
    Jane? It can't be!
[14:22] Jane
    Look out, kid!
[14:33] Jane
    You okay? You weren't hurt?
[14:35] Leroy
    I-I'm okay!
[14:40] Leroy
    The horse rustlers got away...
[14:43] Jane
    That's okay. It'll work itself out, somehow.
[14:47] Momo
    Wait, Jane!
[14:53] Leroy
    You're that girl from yesterday!
[14:55] Momo
    I have a message from the
    girl from the video store.
[14:58] Momo
    "The real Jane will do, right?"
[15:01] Leroy
    N-No way! You're not really Jane up from
    Big House on the Little Prairie, are you?
[15:07] Jane
    Who cares about that?
[15:09] Jane
    We have to get the foal back
    from those horse rustlers!
[15:12] Leroy
    It's true! She's the real Jane!
[15:15] Momo
    Who cares about that right now?
[15:17] Jane
    I raised that foal myself.
[15:19] Jane
    Please, I need help. Will you help me?
[15:22] Momo
    Yes, we will! Of course!
[15:25] Jane
    And you?
[15:27] Leroy
    Yes, b-but... I'm not sure I stand
    a chance against horse rustlers.
[15:34] Jane
    You'll be fine! You're a young man, right?
[15:46] Leroy
    Jane, no! You can't cut
    down the trees in the park!
[15:49] Momo
    It's pointless to argue. She's a
    girl from the Wild West, after all.
[15:53] Leroy
    Even so, Momo—
[15:54] Cop
    Hey, you!
[15:56] Cop
    Stop that. You can't cut
    down trees in the park.
[15:58] Jane
    Excuse me, sir. You
    shouldn't stand behind me.
[16:21] Jane
    Leroy! Tie it tight!
[16:32] Momo
    Well, he did want a Wild West lifestyle...
[16:48] Leroy
    You really think you can catch
    horse rustlers like this?
[16:51] Momo
    I'm so excited! I can't wait to see!
[16:54] Cook
    But we're talking about horse
    rustlers with real guns.
[16:57] Jane
    Hush!
[17:01] Man
    Bro, there's a water source up ahead.
[17:04] Man
    Great. We can water our horses.
[17:07] Man
    Yahoo!
[17:08] Jane
    Momo!
[17:09] Momo
    Okay!
[17:15] Man
    What happened?
[17:16] Jane
    Here we go!
[17:23] Man
    Who goes there?!
[17:26] Jane
    I do.
[17:27] Jane
    I'm taking my foal back.
[17:32] Man
    If it isn't the lady from the big house.
[17:36] Man
    I never expected you to
    come right to me like this.
[17:53] Jane
    Leroy, now!
[17:55] Leroy
    R-Right!
[17:59] Leroy
    The rope! It's stuck!
[18:03] Man
    Looks like you miscalculated. You'll have
    to figure it out from the next world.
[18:12] Leroy
    Jane is... Jane is...
[18:20] Man
    So long.
[18:24] Leroy
    Villain!
[18:29] Leroy
    You'll have to go through me.
[18:31] Man
    What's that?
[18:32] Jane
    Leroy!
[18:42] Man
    I won't fall for the same trick twice.
[18:47] Momo
    He did it!
[19:03] Jane
    Thank you for everything.
[19:04] Jane
    I guess this is goodbye.
[19:06] Leroy
    Wait a minute! Where are you going?
[19:09] Jane
    I should probably get back to the
    Big House on the Little Prairie...
[19:13] Momo
    No problem! I think you'll
    make it back, easy as pie.
[19:17] Leroy
    Jane... Will you take me with you?
[19:20] Jane
    You?
[19:21] Leroy
    I hate spending every day
    cooped up in a room studying.
[19:28] Leroy
    I want to ride horses
    on the prairie with you!
[19:31] Jane
    You can't do that, Leroy.
[19:34] Leroy
    But...
[19:37] Jane
    All people carry blue skies and
    rolling prairies inside of them.
[19:42] Jane
    Your town is right here. You should make
    this town into your rolling prairie!
[19:48] Jane
    Stay a cowboy, okay?
[19:52] Leroy
    Right!
[19:55] Leroy
    Jane!
[19:56] Leroy
    If I can't go, take this with you instead!
[20:00] Leroy
    Okay.
[20:00] Cop
    Attention, cowgirl!
[20:02] Cop
    You're under arrest for cutting down park
    trees and interfering with an officer!
SIGN    Momo, did you leave the tape on when you left?
[20:17] Momo
    Y-Yes...
SIGN    Do you think...
[20:42] Momo
    Become a Wild West prairie!
[20:51] Momo
    Come on! Now!
[20:54] Leroy
    Hi-yah!
SIGN    I don't think Leroy just fell in love with a girl in a TV show.
[21:32] Chamo
    He loved the laid-back, carefree
    life of the Wild West.
SIGN    But like Jane said, whether your life feels wild
SIGN    and free or small and stuffy is a matter of psychology.
[21:41] Chamo
    He did a great job against
    those horse rustlers.
[21:44] Chamo
    He's full of confidence! I
    think he'll be a changed man.
[21:48] Momo
    Yeah, maybe.
[21:58] Momo
    Hey, they got Jane's latest video!
[22:07] Leroy
    You!
[22:09] Momo
    You haven't changed at all, Leroy.
[22:11] Leroy
    Shut up! Neither have you!
[22:14] Momo
    I can't give up on a show this good.
[22:17] Leroy
    Neither can I!
[22:19] Man
    Hey, you two.
[22:21] Man
    Stop making trouble!
[22:23] Trio
    Good grief.
[22:25] Trio
    That's mine!
[22:26] Trio
    Just stop already!
[22:31] Trio
    Take that!
