Moomin (1990) s01e02 Episode Script

The Magic Hat

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 shall 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.
The Magic Hat
This year, once again,
Snufkin pitched a tent by the river.
This will serve as the solitude loving
Snufkin's residence until winter comes.
Moomin, who does not know solitude,
loves Snufkin very much.
Snufkin?
Snufkin.
He's not here.
He's probably strolling
around all by himself again.
He really loves solitude, doesn't he?
I also like being alone
sometimes too, you know.
Well, let's go by ourselves then.
Why don't we go tomorrow
instead, Floren?
You promised, remember?
That's right.
You did promise, Moomin.
You promised we'll go shell picking.
I made no such promise to you, My.
Of course you didn't,
you promised Floren.
That's why you have to go
with her to the shore today.
And I'll be tagging along.
Heeeey!
It's Sniff.
Where are you going?
I'm jealous of Snufkin.
Why?
I just am.
I wonder where Snufkin went.
I wonder if we'll find
anything interesting -
lying around, just
like last time.
That hat was a strange one, wasn't it?
You threw it into the river, right?
Yes.
That's a shame.
Well, I did turn
into something weird -
after hiding inside
that hat, after all.
And the eggshells turned into clouds.
That was fun.
Time to pick some shells.
Yippee!
Pee hoo!
Moomin! Hey, Moomin!
Moomin, wake up! Floren is in trouble!
What happened to Floren?
We were playing tag,
and she accidentally -
fell into an
antlion's nest!
This way!
Just a bit more, just try
climbing a bit more!
Hold out your hand, Sniff!
Please hold out your hand further!
He's here, he's here!
Do you mean to destroy
my nest, intruder?
I'm very sorry, I'll
be leaving right away.
With the ruckus you're making, my
favorite ants will be avoiding my nest!
Are you alright, Floren?
I can't reach her with my hand, Moomin!
I suppose I don't mind not
having ants for my meal today.
Moomin, help me!
Sniff, get in the nest.
W what, m me?
It's alright, I won't let
go of you no matter what.
Your body's long, and that's
exactly what we need. Now go in.
I've decided. I shall eat you.
Sniff, hurry up!
B but I
Hurry up and get to it, you coward.
Yes, exactly, I'm a coward, so
He help! Help me!!!
Floren, grab onto Sniff's feet!
I'm scared!! Help me!!
Oh, you're just useless.
Here, Floren, grab onto me.
Thank you!
I'll be pulling you out now.
Here we go!
Ow, ow, ow!
Curse it. Stop, you!
And here!
Ow, ow, ouch!
Come here!
Where did you go, Snufkin?
Keep this a secret between us, Moomin.
Of course.
That hat got stuck on a
small island downriver.
That's great!
As so, something quite
serious is happening.
We have to go then.
I was thinking that it was somehow
a waste that we threw that hat away.
It was a bad choice to
throw it into the river.
For now, let's go there.
The hat is stuck on the
dead tree by that sandbank.
I can't see all that
well, but I can -
tell that the water's
color is changing.
Why is it turning red?
I believe it's because the
water passing through -
that hat is being changed
into something else.
Alright, I'll go fetch it.
It would've been great
if we had a boat.
Are you alright?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Did you find it?
Yes, it's here.
Oh! It's raspberry juice!
What should we do with this hat?
We can't just leave it anywhere.
We don't know what might get inside it.
If I place water in it, I can drink
sweet raspberry juice anytime I want!
We don't know that.
It could be that only river
water gets turned into juice.
If we fill it with
water from the well
I suppose we'll need
to try various things.
Are you alright, Moomin?
You look rather sleepy.
I woke up in the middle of
the night, so I read a book.
Liar.
What?
Liar.
I know.
My, what do you know?
I know Snufkin came over last night.
I woke up to Snufkin's whistling.
You weren't quite awake yet then, My.
Snufkin would never come at night.
Thanks for the meal.
You went out together too!
I know it!
Oh, shush!
If you keep saying weird things,
I won't play with you anymore.
What is Moomin hiding?
It's nothing important.
Please don't ask me about it, Pappa.
Ah, Moomin went out, didn't he?
Even if you try to leave me
out, I won't be letting you.
Snufkin!
I've learned who that hat belongs to.
Oh, whose is it?
The Hobgoblin's.
Hobgoblin?
I met Mr. Hemulen earlier.
Mr. Hemulen says he saw
a Hobgoblin before.
A Hobgoblin is a goblin who
flies in the skies, right?
Yes. He rides a black panther.
I heard the Hobgoblin
is fond of rubies.
In search of a magnificent ruby,
he travels the whole world
No, he travels the whole universe.
How do you think he dropped his hat?
He was probably
searching for that ruby -
here in Moominvalley
when he dropped it.
Do you think he's
forgotten about this hat?
I wonder.
Could it be that he doesn't
know where it fell?
That's very much possible, I think.
Well, then. In that case, there's
something I want to try with this hat.
Something? What is it?
He's really great!
I'm telling you, this antlion
is a sand diving genius!
But it's difficult to
believe that anyone -
can dive into the sand
within 5 seconds.
It doesn't take 5 seconds,
it takes him only 1 second!
1 second? That's clearly a lie.
I'm telling you the truth! I
said he's a genius, didn't I?
What are you mumbling over there?
We're very sorry about Floren
messing up your nest yesterday.
It's really too bad that I
couldn't bite that tail off.
Moomin here tells me you're
a sand diving genius.
However, I don't believe it.
Snufkin is rather stubborn.
He won't believe anything
unless he sees it.
Watch closely, then.
You see? He took less than a second!
Yes, I suppose so.
But there was already
a hole over there.
That's why he can dive so fast.
There isn't any hole!
Oh really?
I'll show you that I can dive anywhere.
I really can.
How about here? This spot is good.
I agree. This spot just
under this rock is great.
I'll show you I can dive anywhere.
In that case, dive into this spot.
It's this spot, don't miss it.
Alright. Watch closely.
Amazing! You really
dove within a second!
Mr. Antlion really is a genius!
Yes, he's a genius!
I'll sit on it.
Great, that went well.
You trapped the antlion
in there, didn't you?
So you were watching?
The whole time.
Then you were following
us last night as well?
Of course!
And you told Mamma?
Don't be an idiot.
I'm not the type to tattle, am I?
The antlion tried biting Floren,
so we're going to transform him.
What would he become?
I don't know, I wonder
what he would become.
Oh? There's water coming out
Not here. It's not around here.
Can you think of anywhere else?
We've already searched most
of the places you mentioned.
Quite a lot of water is flowing out.
Most probably, the sand inside
the hat was turned into water.
In that case, the
antlion must have been -
transformed already
as well, right?
Perhaps.
Well, I suppose it's alright now.
I'm getting off.
Could it be that he doesn't have
the strength to push the rock off?
Should we remove the rock?
Yes. Try removing it!
Alright, let's try that.
What could be happening?
Should we try tipping the hat over?
Hurry up and tip it!
It's a hedgehog.
Moomin.
Ah, ow, ow, that hurts, My!
Shh! She'll hear you!
I saw a Hobgoblin flying a while ago.
Oh?
He's probably the one.
Do you think he's
searching for that hat?
Perhaps so.
Where did you keep it?
In the basement.
I wonder if that's alright?
It is!
Only My and I know where it is.
It's knitting wool.
Since I placed knitting wool,
it might turn into a sweater.
That hat is really quite something.
Mamma, Mamma!
I thought I should inform
you as well, Mamma.
What is it?
Something big is about
to happen to this house.
Something big?
A tree is growing in the basement.
Oh my, that is big.
Could that be the tree
you're talking about?
That's right. Soon, it's going
to grow larger than this house.
Oh dear, what did you do?
I only placed some knitting
wool inside the magic hat.
But that hat has been thrown away.
Moomin fetched it from the river.
It's in the basement.
Oh, bless my tail!
I must tell Pappa about this
before things get too bad!
It's open. Do come in.
There's no need to worry!
Just keep growing bigger.
I'll be sure to calm Mamma later.
Oh, and I bet you'll be able
to bear a lot of tasty fruits.
Yes?
Sorry for barging in on you
while you're working, Pappa.
What is it, Mamma?
Well, just a bit
Just a bit?! What in
the world happened?
Well, I would like you to come with me
downstairs, Pappa.
I want to show you something for a bit.
Before it's too late.
Too late?!
You're really scaring me, Mamma.
Usually, when you say "a bit",
something terrible is happening.
Oh, Mamma! Mamma!!
Listen, if you mess up Pappa's desk, -
I won't forgive you later.
Yes, yes, I'm coming.
Mamma, bring me the saw.
I can't let these keep
getting in our way.
Oh! Why you!
Our saw is in the basement, Pappa.
There's no way for me
to fetch it anymore.
Without a saw, we'll just have
to break them with our hands.
Help me, Mamma.
Oh my! Moomin's house!
Floren! Come here! This is quite fun.
My! What are you doing there?
I'm playing pretend jungle!
Come! It's fun!
This is terrible! At
this rate, we won't make -
it to the dining hall
in time every morning!
But I'm glad.
Now, we won't have problems with
firewood even when it gets cold.
Why, you ill mannered branches!
Let me tell you that
I have absolutely no -
plans of surrendering
this house to you!
Oh my.
So this tree grows flowers!
Oh! They turn into fruits as well!
Here we go!
Pappa, Pappa!
This fruit is very delicious!
You must try one.
Ah, my house!
Someone must've placed
something in that hat!
Moomin! Where are you?
Moomin!
Floren!
Oh, Moomin.
Thank heavens. So you
weren't inside then.
Pappa!
Mamma!
My!
Is everyone trapped inside?
We need to help them!
I'd love to cut this tree,
but our saw is inside.
With this, we can't get inside!
Alright. One of us
should call for help.
There's no need for that.
Are you the Hobgoblin?
That's right.
I take it my hat is what
caused this phenomenon?
Yes, that's right. I picked
it up in the mountains.
Thank you for doing so.
This is really quite a
well grown tree though.
Well then, I shall
dispose of this tree!
What, what happened?
What is it this time?
Ah! Somebody help me!
That hat you dropped is a rather
troublesome little thing, isn't it?
Oh, I'm very sorry about that.
But he did help us, so we
should thank him properly.
This is unrelated, but do you
happen to own a ruby, madam?
If you do, please do let
me have a look at it.
I'm very fond of rubies, you see.
How do you like this one?
This is a treasured ring Pappa gave me.
Let me see.
It's a fabulous ruby.
However, it does not
begin to compare to -
the King of Rubies
which I search for.
King of Rubies?
Yes. I've gone as far as
the moon in search of it.
Yet I still haven't found it.
I'm certain it exists
somewhere out there.
I shall inform you in case
I find out where it is.
That's very nice of you.
Well then, I shall await
good news from you.
He's a kind goblin, isn't he?
Well, well, everyone! It's time to
help clean up all this dry wood!
Alright!
Here we go!
Moomin thought that it
was a little too early -
to have to return that
hat to the Hobgoblin.
Just once more, he
wanted to try drinking -
that sweet raspberry
juice again.
Why, I wonder?
Pappa, Snork, and Mr. Hemulen have all
lost confidence and are feeling down.
If we all repair the
shipwreck that got -
washed ashore so it can
once again sail, -
then perhaps they can
regain their confidence!
