Moomin (1990) s01e09 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.
An Invisible Friend
Come, now. No need to hesitate.
This here is the Moomins' home.
Rain has been pouring the
whole afternoon that -
day, so Moomin was playing
inside their house.
Around twilight, Too-ticky
arrived for a visit.
Hello, Moomin.
Oh, welcome!
Mamma, Too-ticky's here.
Come on, Ninny. Come inside.
Huh?
Is someone here with you?
Yes. I brought Ninny with me.
Ninny?
Do come inside.
No one else is here.
She's here. She's invisible, though.
Really?
Yes.
You're really shy, aren't you?
Alright, then. You can come
inside when you're ready.
Won't she get wet though?
It's alright. You can't get
wet when you're invisible.
I see.
Welcome, Too-ticky.
Hm? What is everyone looking at?
I believe you're all aware of this.
But people, especially
children, tend to become -
invisible when they're
always treated badly.
Isn't that so?
Yes.
That's what happened to Ninny.
Her aunt was very severe towards her.
She took Ninny in, but she didn't
really care about her, you see.
She was a very cruel woman.
It's not that her aunt had a bad
temper or anything like that.
That would've been
much better, actually.
She was unpleasant in
that she was cold as ice.
What do you mean by cold?
Let's see
For instance, if you played
around the house and -
broke a vase, what do you
think Mamma would do?
She would probably scold me,
telling me to be careful and all that.
Exactly. That's the natural
reaction, isn't it?
Her aunt was different, though.
She didn't get angry at all.
Instead, she'd say coldly, -
"I know you can't do that
dance very well, but -
there was no need to take
it out on that vase."
She was that kind of person.
What an awful woman.
She treated Ninny coldly
every single day, and -
at some point, Ninny just
started to fade away.
She started fading from her feet
and gradually turned invisible.
Last Friday, she became
completely invisible.
Poor girl.
When I went to visit them,
her aunt said to me, "I -
can't keep taking care of
a girl I can't even see."
So what did you do to her aunt?
Did you give her a
good hit on the head?
That won't do any good when you're
dealing with such a cold person.
What I did was take Ninny home with me.
And I thought that the best way to make
her visible again was to take her here.
Mamma is the exact opposite
of that aunt, after all.
Exactly! And I thought Moomin
could be her playmate, as well.
Can that girl speak, Too-ticky?
Unfortunately, she has also
lost the ability to speak.
Oh dear.
I'd love to be that girl's playmate, -
but if I can't see her
or hear her voice,
how will I be able
to play with her?
I suppose you didn't notice.
Her aunt placed a small
silver bell on Ninny's neck.
Oh. The door opened.
That would be Ninny.
Come in, Ninny, come in.
Don't be afraid, you're welcome here.
This shall be your new home.
You've already met Moomin earlier.
Over here are Mamma and Pappa.
These are Floren, My, and Sniff.
It's nice to meet you, Ninny.
We were just having tea. Would you like
something to drink as well, Ninny?
I see. I shall fix you a nice
glass of raspberry juice then.
Alright now. Move aside
so that Ninny can pass.
Our dining hall is this way, Ninny.
The truth is that I don't
know much about Ninny.
I've already told you
everything I know.
Please take care of her.
Don't worry, Too-ticky, we will.
Here's your juice. Drink up.
Well then, I have an
urgent job waiting.
Please keep me posted
on how she's doing.
I'll come and visit too, of course.
Leave it to us.
Goodbye then.
Oh.
Yes?
I just remembered. There were other
people staying here, weren't there?
Oh, you mean Tofslan and Vifslan?
They left last week.
I see.
Oh my. You drank it all up.
Would you like another glass?
So that's enough for now?
Are you following me, Ninny?
This way.
Do come in, Ninny.
This will be your room.
I'm leaving you an
apple and some juice.
Please help yourself when you want.
Oh, are you going to sleep already?
I see. You did walk a lot today.
No need to get up early tomorrow.
If you suddenly feel scared
in the middle of the night, -
or if you need anything
at all, come and wake -
me up. I'll be in the
room across yours.
Oh, yes. You can just ring
your bell near my ear.
Good night, then.
She's asleep?
Yes.
I just remembered. There
might be something on that -
notebook of yours about
a good remedy for this.
There are various remedy
recipes, but I don't -
know if there was anything
for being invisible.
You should check.
Let's see It should
be in our bedroom.
I hope there's a remedy.
Yes.
It's here.
Treatment for when people fade away
like mist and become invisible
Well bless my tail, there is one.
That night, Mamma stayed
up late brewing up -
a remedy for making
people visible again.
It seems that it was a
very complicated mixture.
It'd be nice if it works,
even just a little.
Grandmother's remedies
never fail to work.
I do believe that.
Anyhow, is that girl still asleep?
Ninny's shoes are now visible!
Pappa, Pappa!
Good morning, My.
Is that girl awake?
Yes, she is.
Then? Where is she? Did
she have breakfast yet?
I don't know.
She went to the dining
hall with Moomin
Oh no!
Where is she?
Where is she, Moomin?
Pipe it down, you two.
Ninny's about to drink her medicine.
Go ahead, Ninny. Drink
and swallow quickly.
Yes, just like that.
You're doing great.
Well, time for breakfast then.
Oh, floating shoes.
Yes. Her feet have become visible.
What small feet.
And very stylish.
Since your feet are
now visible, I -
wonder if we can see
your face soon too.
Seeing as you made
yourself invisible, I -
guess you don't think
much of your face.
Don't mind what My says.
Just eat up your bread,
so we can play after.
We can't play hide-and-seek.
It'll be tough finding Ninny.
We can't play tag either.
Let's see
Let's go mushroom picking then.
But that's not playing
It's fun, though!
What do you think, Ninny?
It's decided then! We'll have a
mushroom picking contest today.
I can't tell the difference between
edible and poisonous mushrooms, though.
This is fun.
Pappa, Pappa!
Look! Ninny's feet are now visible.
I see Mamma's remedy is working well.
No, they were visible before
she drank the medicine.
Then it's probably because of
Mamma's kindness last night then.
Love works even better than medicine.
Yes, I suppose that's it.
Mamma, we'll take Ninny
mushroom picking with us.
That's a great idea.
Good morning!
Good morning.
Morning!
Where is she?
Amazing.
You've gathered quite a lot, Ninny.
You're finding them quite easy.
You're really good at this.
I've only collected about half
of what you have, so far.
Hey, Moomin, how much
have you gathered?
Oh, wow, you've gathered
up quite a lot!
Oh? W-well. I guess.
This is twice what I have.
Is this really your basket?
Oh, so that was Ninny's.
Y-yes. That's what I meant.
I bet her aunt always made
her gather mushrooms.
That must be why she's so good at it.
I guess. Yet her aunt was still
dissatisfied and treated her coldly.
That's really sad.
It's Stinky!
Bad company coming.
I hate him.
Hey! Long time no see, Moomin!
Shame. My recent days have been really
bright since you haven't been in them.
Well, well. Look at you talk.
Anyway, why is this basket
floating in midair?
That's none of your business.
Hurry up and go away.
Oh, I know! This person
got bullied a little -
and now she's made
her self invisible!
Let me carry your basket for
you, Ninny. Come on, let's go.
Let's go, Ninny.
Hey, sissy! How does
your face look like?
I bet you're pale and on the
brink of tears right now.
Cut it out, Stinky!
Ninny was an unfortunate girl.
Yes, poor little girl.
Someone who's made
herself invisible once -
can never be visible
again, after all.
That's not true!
Oh, you don't know?
Pappa and Mamma both said that Ninny
can definitely regain her appearance.
You're just lying to her
to keep her hopes up.
You're the liar.
Ninny will definitely
become visible again.
Her feet weren't visible yesterday,
but we can definitely see
You see? Her feet are
slowly fading away again.
They're going to be invisible soon.
Ninny
Too bad.
This is all your fault, Stinky!
Even Moominmamma can't make
that girl visible again!
I'll even bet on it!
Ninny already drank Mamma's
secret remedy, and -
we're all going to
lend her our strength!
We'll definitely help her
regain her appearance!
Whose basket is this?
That would be My's and my basket.
I'm sorry to tell you, but your
basket comes in last place.
There weren't a lot of
mushrooms where we searched.
It's not a problem of quantity.
Look, you collected
some poisonous ones.
This one is called The Sickener.
This here is a Panther Cap.
Look and remember them well.
This one is Moomin's and this
one is Sniff's, am I right?
Did we collect some poisonous ones too?
They're not as bad as
Floren's and My's, but this -
one's a False Morel and
this one's a Panther Cap.
You two picked the same
kinds of poisonous ones.
Ninny's basket is amazing, though.
There aren't any poisonous
mushrooms at all.
And you did very well, collecting
this much all by yourself.
Where are you, Ninny?
Please come near.
Mamma's calling for you.
Come closer, Ninny.
Thank you, Ninny.
Let's have these mushrooms
for tomorrow's meal.
I can see her feet again!
I'm very happy for you, Ninny.
I'm sure -
we'll all be able to
see your face soon.
That's right. You'll just have to
endure for a bit longer, Ninny.
Forget everything that
silly Stinky said to you.
Right. I just forget
everything unpleasant too.
That's how I'm always happy.
Yes. Sniff is pretty much
good for nothing, but -
just for this one, you can
actually learn from him.
The truth is that you're a very bright
and disciplined young girl, aren't you?
You just have a weakness.
I'm right, aren't I?
Oh! She's becoming more visible!!
That's wonderful, Ninny!
Congratulations, Ninny.
If you just keep on,
we'll be able to see
your full body soon!
Indeed. You're wearing a rather plain
dress for a pretty young lady, though.
Mamma said you can sleep
in late tomorrow as well.
Let's play again tomorrow. Good night.
What's Mamma doing?
Do you know what time it is, Mamma?
You need to sleep soon, else you won't
be able to wake up early tomorrow.
Look. What do you think, Pappa?
It looks good. Very pretty.
It's been a while since I last sewed
a girl's dress. I enjoyed it very much.
I think this will look
really good on her.
What's this?
A ribbon.
Good morning, Moominpappa.
Good morning.
You're very early today, My.
Where's Ninny?
She's still asleep.
You're early today, My.
I'm here to play with Ninny.
Come in.
I'm really curious about
how she looks like.
I also want to see her
face soon, but we'll -
probably have to wait a while.
Right, Pappa?
I suppose so.
No matter how slowly
it happens, I'll be -
happy to see her
becoming visible again.
Oh. I think I heard the door open.
She's awake.
I wonder if she liked
the dress I made her.
I'm glad, it looks wonderful on you!
Her body's visible!
I suppose it's fairly stylish.
Thank you very much, everyone.
Your voice is also fairly pretty!
Ninny's face isn't visible
yet, but the Moomins -
felt relieved after
hearing her voice.
It was a very pretty and gentle voice.
Ninny regained her
cheerfulness day by day.
Even when Stinky bullied her again,
she didn't disappear anymore.
I wonder when we'll be
able to see her smile.
Next time on Fun Family
Moomin, Episode 10:
Ninny Smiles Again
Look forward to it!
My dream, my love,
when you're by my side
even the color of the wind changes
The water shines as it plays with light
Melt time into that sky
