Moomin (1990) s01e01 Episode Script

Moomin
Even you, who always
tries to keep strong, -
will have moments when
you need to shed tears.
In those moments, just
cry your heart out, -
and then you will find that the
sadness quickly disappears.
Come, come here to where I am.
Come and hold out your
little hand to me.
I shall take you to
the world of dreams.
As long as you have an
honest heart, all is well.
Spring in Moominvalley
Everyone, have you ever
heard about Moominvalley?
In winter, Moominvalley gets
completely covered in snow, -
and the residents of this valley
spend the entire winter sleeping.
This is a Moominhouse.
Look, everyone is sleeping.
This is Moomintroll,
the hero of our story.
And here we have Moominpappa.
This is Moominmamma.
Oh?
This is Little My.
I wonder why she's
sleeping in this house.
Well then, it's time
to begin our story.
However, we can't
begin our story in -
winter when everyone
is still sleeping, -
so let us begin it in the warm spring.
It's spring.
Spring has come!
It's spring!
Spring has come!
Moomin.
Hello, My. I see you're awake now too.
I woke up to your loud voice.
Is that why you're in a bad mood?
Hey, tell me.
What?
Why was I hibernating in this house?
Have you forgotten?
I was supposed to be sleeping
with my sister at our home.
Last fall, your sister went to
your mother's house, remember?
Mymlan went to Mother's house?
You've forgotten everything
from last year after -
sleeping for four months,
haven't you, My?
There are some things I remember.
You said you felt lonely
without your sister, -
so you went here the day
before hibernation period.
I did that?
You can't remember?
Oh. I think I'm starting to remember.
You're free to stay here until
Mymlan comes back home.
Oh, I see. My mother has been unwell.
It seems you've finally remembered.
Mamma!
I see you're both awake.
Moominmamma, can I stay
here for a while more?
Yes, you're very welcome here.
Well then, I shall go and prepare
our after hibernation meal.
Snufkin's back!
You know, taking the stairs would be
faster than using the rope ladder.
It's my choice.
Are you coming to see Snufkin too?
No, I'm heading home to see
whether or not my sister's back.
She's probably not back yet.
I'll go see anyway.
Snufkin!
Hello there, Moomin.
You're back early this year.
Yes, I am.
Did you get bored on
your trip in the South?
Not at all.
But Moominvalley is
the best, after all.
Tell me about your trip!
I shall do so at leisure later.
Come, let us go wake up
Sniff and do something fun.
He's sure to still be sleeping.
I can still hear him snoring.
Then, one more time
The snoring has stopped.
Come, Sniff! Snufkin has
come back, as well.
I'm still sleepy
We're going to do something fun!
Something fun?
So, what's fun about
climbing a mountain?
We'll be the first to climb that
mountain this year, you know!
We have such fine weather today.
One can see the entire
Moominvalley from there.
The sea as well.
Good Morning, Mr. Hemulen!
Oh, good morning, Moomin.
Have your Pappa and Mamma woken up too?
Mamma was awake when
I left home earlier.
Is that so? Then I shall
be visiting soon.
By all means, do so, Mr. Hemulen.
What's so fun about this?
The sea is sparkling.
Don't you think this a
splendid sight, Sniff?
Oh. There's smoke coming
out of the Moominhouse.
Moominmamma must be preparing
something delicious.
Huh?
What is it?
Snufkin, it seems we're not the
first ones to climb this mountain.
Look.
That's a silk hat.
Hmm, it's rather big.
Someone must have dropped it.
This hat resembles Pappa's hat.
Yes. This hat is bigger than mine.
You see?
It fits my head even beyond my eyes.
And it can fit even further.
It's a shame, but this
hat is too big for me.
What's wrong?
It's become rather tight.
Moomin, pull it off for me.
You forced it down, didn't you?
Ow, that hurt.
Oh dear, I got surprised there.
What happened?
The hat wouldn't come off Pappa's head.
I see, so Pappa was
messing around again.
No, I wasn't. It felt as if the
hat had tightened on my head.
You don't say!
What should we do with this hat, Pappa?
I'm very much fine with my own.
Should we throw it away then?
There's no need to throw something
that may we may still find use for.
Is there someone you can give it to?
No.
I'll use it this way.
Oh, I see.
I see. So you'll be using
it as a wastebasket.
Yes, that's it. As expected of Snufkin.
Please.
Well then, why don't we
go and have breakfast?
Do join us for our
meal, Snufkin, Sniff.
What a wonderful smell.
Yes?
Brother, may I go to play
over at Moomin's place?
Yes.
I take it you're not coming with me?
Yes.
Or, since it's been a while, will
you be coming with me after all?
Yes.
Oh? You're coming?
Yes.
You're not coming, are you?
Yes.
Brother!
Floren!
Just a bit more!
This year, I shall build a ship
that will fly in the skies!
Go!
Yes. Just a bit more!
Is it really possible to build
a ship to fly the skies?
That's impossible.
A dream, huh?
My brother's chasing a dream.
A dream
To chase after a dream
is a wonderful thing.
I suppose it is.
Sniff, were you still eating?
I guess you would never
be chasing a dream.
Oh, but I dream about food constantly!
Oh? These are eggshells.
Now, who was it who ate
a boiled egg here?
Mamma came up with a
really good idea for this.
Huh?
What are these? They look like clouds.
What could these be?
That's dangerous! Don't touch it!
What if it explodes?
It's just like cotton.
Oh? It's floating, it's floating!
That's lovely!
I want to ride one too.
Are you alright, Floren?
Yes, I think so.
Here you go!
Heave and ho.
Hey! I'm taking no part in this!
Even if you fall! You'll die!
You'll die
Here we go!
Hey! Wait for me, my cloud!
I'm falling, I'm
falling, I'm gonna die!
Moominpappa is writing
memories of his younger days.
His was a trouble filled youth.
And so, the story Pappa
was writing seemed -
like it was going to
be a very long one.
Hm?
Hey, Moomin!
Hello, Pappa!
Bless my tail, what is going on here?
I don't know either. Clouds just
came gushing out of our house.
Moomin, come here for a moment.
Come, Moomin, get off.
What's wrong Pappa? If you want
to ride too, I'll let you ride with me.
Ah, wait!
Pappa, hurry up and get on this cloud!
That's ridiculous! There's no way
I can ride something like this!
If you don't hurry and get on,
it's going to be dangerous, Pappa!
I don't want to! Take me back inside!
It's an emergency, Mamma.
What's wrong, Pappa?
Do you know what the
children are doing?
Yes, I do.
They're flying around in the air!
Look, Mamma!
Yes. That's why I made
sure to warn them -
to be careful so
they don't fall off.
Here I come!
I win!
Hey, wait! Come down here!
Wait for me, my cloud!
Good boy
Be a good boy now, stay
still, I'm almost there.
There, there, stay still.
Now, come here.
Come play with me again, now.
Come here.
There's no point in trying to run.
I'm never letting go of you again.
Now, come here, you. Come here.
I said come here!
Oh deary dear, the
cloud has disappeared.
Ah, that was fun.
A shame, huh, I wanted to play more.
Oh, those are Moomin
and Floren, I take it.
Ahooooy!
Theirs seem to be quite long lasting.
But they seem to be shrinking quite
fast. It's best if they go down now.
Heeeey!
Okay, I'll start counting!
One.
Two.
What are you doing, My?
- Three.
We're playing hide and seek.
- Four.
Five.
Six.
Excuse me. Would you know a
suitable place for hiding here?
Eight.
Bad choice. I'd be found
immediately here
Nine
Ten!
Ouch!
Found ya!
Found ya!
Moomin should be somewhere
inside the house.
I saw him go inside the big stove.
He's not there now, though.
Have you found him?
Nope.
Did you look in the basement?
I did.
Did you hear someone laugh just now?
Someone? Someone who?
I have to go home soon.
What's wrong, everyone?
Well, you see, -
we can't find Moomin anywhere.
Moomin is a hide and seek genius, huh.
Someone's inside that!
I'm right here, Sniff.
It seems I was the only
one you couldn't find.
Who are you?
Are you saying you've
forgotten me because -
you couldn't find me
for quite a while?
There's no point in
playing dumb, you know!
Hey! Who are you, really?
Oh, I see now! This time, we're
playing this kind of game!
I'm Floren. What's your name?
I'm Moomintroll. A
pleasure to meet you.
Hey, you. That's enough fooling around.
Fooling around? I'm not fooling
around at all! Right, Pappa?
Do you know where Moomin is hiding?
I'm right here.
Where is he?
Right here.
Who are you, really?
Be honest and tell us.
Pappa
I'm not your Pappa.
What But I'm Moomin!
Moomin is nice looking young man
who's hardly comparable to you.
Have you ever seen
your face in a mirror?
These hands!
My snout! My snout is gone!
My body is covered in fur!
And my tail Oh no, what do I do?
Awful! This is just awful!
What do I do??
This is wrong! This isn't me!
This isn't me!
This is all wrong, this isn't me
This isn't me!!!
It seems to be quite noisy in here.
What in the world happened?
Mamma!
Mamma, Mamma!
Oh dear me, who is this child?
That child there claims
that he's Moomin.
You're saying this child
here is my Moomin?
Mamma, Mamma!
I really am Moomin, Mamma! I really am!
Well now, let's see.
But it's true, Mamma, I swear!
I'm Moomin! I really am!
I understand. I understand, so be quiet
and calm down for a little while.
If you really are my Moomin,
then there's no need to worry.
There is no way I wouldn't
recognize my own child.
So, Mamma, so then, Mamma!
Call me Moomin!
You recognize me, don't you, Mamma?
Call me Moomin!
Why Why aren't you
saying anything, Mamma?
Why won't you say my name?
Call me Moomin, Mamma!
I told you already, didn't I?
Just be quiet for a while.
Oh, yes you are. Yes, you're
definitely my Moomin.
Mamma! Mamma!
Well, I'll be! Moomin!
Pappa
Moomin
Where in the world were you hiding?
Over there.
Inside that hat.
You only threw away what
you only picked up.
As told by his Mamma and Pappa, Moomin
threw the hat away into the river.
But inside his heart, Moomin felt that
it was just a little regrettable.
At any rate though, who could this
mysterious hat have belonged to?
You know, Snufkin, earlier,
I saw a hobgoblin flying.
I'm sure he's searching for that hat.
But it's alright! I left it
in our basement, after all!
Nothing bad will happen.
