Moomin (1990) s01e10 Episode Script

The Invisible Child

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.
Ninny Smiles Again
Wait up, Floren!
Not gonna!
Hey! What about Ninny?
I asked her if she wanted
to play and she said yes!
Ninny! Hurry up else we'll leave you!
Well then, let's go.
Ninny disappeared after being
treated badly by her aunt.
But having experienced the
warmth of the Moomins, -
she has now become visible
again, except for her face.
So that's Ninny?
I wonder what her face looks like.
Hey everyone, mornin'.
Morning yourself.
The sun's high above our heads already.
We'll be playing hide-and-seek
outdoors today.
Sounds like fun.
Ninny, how are you today?
Fine
If only I could see your face,
I'd be able to tell somehow.
Even though I see your face, Sniff,
I can't tell your mood at all.
Don't you think this place is
too big for hide-and-seek?
Well, yes, it's too big.
Which is why
We'll limit our hiding
to roughly within -
a 50-meter radius from here.
Understood?
Also, you're not allowed to
move from your hiding place.
These are the rules.
Did you get them, Ninny?
Alright. Sniff will be it then.
What? Why am I it?
Since Ninny's playing with us,
the first round is for practice.
You don't need a practice
game for hide-and-seek.
But Ninny has never played
hide-and-seek in her life.
What? Really?
And not just hide-and-seek.
She's never played with friends before.
Even when she was still visible?
Yes, even then.
Well, that's a surprise.
So you'll be it, then?
Don't wanna.
Oh, fine. Then I'll be
it for the first round.
Alright, I'll count to ten slowly.
Everyone, hide away.
Ready?
One!
Two!
You should go and hide too, Ninny.
Three!
Four!
You need to go farther!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Eight!
Nine!
Hi there, Ninny!
Ten!!
Come now, don't be afraid.
Look, you can go hide in
the thicket over there.
Alright! I'm coming!
Thank you very much.
Ouchy! Ow
Found you, Sniff!
Found you, My.
Hmph.
I wonder where Ninny hid.
Oh?
Found you, Ninny!
You found a really good hiding place,
but your ribbon gave you away.
Well then. Only Floren left.
But I think I can find
her quite easily.
This is really one good hiding place.
Found you, Floren.
One, and Two!
Three, and Four!
Five, and Six!
No more room here, Ninny!
Seven, and Eight!
Hi again, Ninny!
I know a good hiding place.
You definitely won't be found. Come on!
No need to be scared. The opening looks
small, but it's spacious inside.
Go on! Hide quickly! Sniff could
come looking for you any moment now!
See? It'll be hard to
find anyone here, right?
I can't even see you well from here.
I'm coming out.
No way.
Here, let me cover up the opening
so you definitely won't be found.
No, stop. I'm coming out.
Please! Let me out!
This way, they'll never
find you, Ninny.
Help! Somebody help!
I'm really glad I chose
to leave Ninny with you.
I don't have any idea how we're going
to make her face visible again though.
No need for haste, Mamma.
Ninny didn't turn
invisible in an instant.
That's why it'll take time for
her to become visible again too.
We also fear that she
might become invisible -
again when she's
distressed or shaken.
Well, there's that.
She's able to talk again now.
Her voice is still
soft and weak though.
Was her voice like that even
when she was still visible?
Yes. She's always had a timid voice.
Since her face is still
invisible, I suppose -
that means her heart
is still troubled.
But I'm still glad.
She has never played with
anyone before, but now -
she's able to play with
Moomin and the others.
Why don't you wait until
Ninny comes back?
I believe I can stay
for a bit more, but -
she might not be
back anytime soon.
Found you, My.
I guess you finally found me.
But I'm the last one, aren't I?
No, I haven't found Ninny yet.
Ninny?
What's this?
So you were hiding where
Ninny hid earlier?
Pretty good choice.
Perhaps Ninny is a
hide-and-seek genius.
I've looked for her all over, though.
I wonder if she turned invisible again.
Maybe that's why I can't find her.
Sniff's searched around quite hard.
Really, I wonder where
Ninny hid herself.
I've no idea.
She seems to be the genius
of hide-and-seek, after all.
Ninny! You can come out!
We're quitting hide-and-seek now!
Ninny!
Seriously, where could she have hidden?
Come out!
You can come out now!
Ninny!!
You're at fault for not
trying to search for her.
But it's weird that she won't come
out even when we're calling for her.
What are you grumbling about?
Get up and let's search for her!
Also, we're more likely to
find her if we split up.
Hey! Ninny! Come out now!
We've stopped playing hide-and-seek!
Ninny! Where are you?
It's almost time for snacks!
Ninny!
Ninny!
Where are you?
We're well beyond the
50-meter radius now.
But Ninny may have misestimated
and hid around here.
Ninny! Come out now! We've
stopped playing hide-and-seek!
Help me! I'm over here!
Did you hear something just now?
I don't know
Help! I'm here!
It's Ninny!
She sounds far away.
Ninny! Where are you?
Here! Within the rocks!
I think I heard her say
"within the rocks".
There are rocks here, but
Ninny! Try shouting
with a louder voice!
We can't tell where
you are if you don't!
I'm over here!
Within the rocks!
I heard her more clearly this time.
Shout louder!
I'm here!
Even louder!
I'm over here!!
Over there!
This This is the first time in my
life that I've spoken that loudly.
Ninny!
We know where you are.
Within these rocks, right?
Stinky covered the opening!
He covered the opening?
Oh, it's this one.
Are you alright, Ninny?
Thank you, Moomin. You saved me.
Ninny, your voice
What about it?
Oh, uh, nothing.
Alright. Grab my hand
so I can pull you out.
I'm fine.
Hey!
What happened?
Ninny was in here!
Wow! Awesome!
You really are a
hide-and-seek genius, Ninny!
I was right!
What?
Did I say something weird?
Stinky is certainly one
terrible chap, but -
thanks to him, Ninny
has become stronger.
Stronger?
I'm sure it must've been frightening
to get trapped in that hole.
However, this time, she
didn't turn invisible again.
Moreover, her voice has changed.
It's no longer that feeble
voice she had before.
It's probably because
she tried shouting.
Did you really shout with a loud voice?
Yes.
Moomin said he couldn't tell where
I was, and asked me to shout loudly.
You shouted really loudly then.
This is a really good thing, Ninny.
Please continue speaking with
that lively voice from now on.
I'm sure we'll be able to see
your face soon if you do.
I'm excited to see your face soon!
I am, too.
Earlier, Too-ticky
said that it'll take -
time for you to be
fully visible again, -
but I believe Pappa's right.
Even so, though, what
Stinky did was awful.
It's all over now, though.
He also bullied Ninny before this!
We're going to get him for this.
Hold it, Stinky!
Like I'd let you catch me!
Stinky, hold it right
there, we'd like to talk.
Well I don't want to talk.
Sniff, you alright?
You can't outrun us, Stinky.
This forest is my backyard.
I'll definitely outrun you!
What are you going to do with me?
Only what you did to Ninny.
But I merely told her
of a good hiding place!
Then why did you cover up the opening?
I thought it would make
her harder to find.
Liar.
You wanted to scare her so
she'll become invisible again!
You lot are too skeptical.
Come on, let me out!
Not happening! Stay here and
fret over your actions.
I won't let you off for this!
I'm going to bully Ninny again
and make her invisible!
Hey! Let me out
Help me!
With these events, Ninny's face
stayed invisible for a while.
Around 10 days after that
And down! Down! Down we hammer!
She's been gazing at the
ocean this whole time.
This is probably the first
time she's seen the ocean.
She's crying
What's wrong?
It's just that The ocean's so vast.
It's just so vast
Oh dear. So that's why you're crying.
Mamma, Mamma!
Come here!
What's wrong with Ninny?
It's nothing.
She was just shocked by the ocean.
It's her first time
seeing it, after all.
Oh. I suppose it's a
very pure reaction.
Unlike Ninny though, it seems nothing
is able to surprise me anymore.
Nothing makes my heart
beat fast anymore.
Did you hear what Mamma said just now?
I certainly did.
What's that about?
It seems Mamma's feeling
her life to be a bit dull.
I believe she's wanting for some
kind of incident to happen.
Incident?
Well, then. Time to bring
an incident upon her.
What kind of incident?
Oh, just a very tiny incident.
Pappa.
Are you planning to push
Mamma into the water?
Exactly!
Isn't the water a little
too cold for that?
Water this cold was nothing to
us back in the day, you know.
Did you do things like this a
lot when you were younger?
Of course.
Pappa
What is it?
Never mind.
Now look here.
I'm merely trying to fulfill
Mamma's wishes, not mine.
Stop!!
Ouch!!
Ow, ow, ouch!!
You were going to push
Mamma, how could you?!
Listen, Ninny
Unforgivable!
To try and push Mamma
into this terribly -
vast ocean I can't
forgive you for that!
I can't!
I just can't!
Ninny!
You did it!
We can see you!
What a pretty girl you are!
Well, Pappa, it seems an
incident has occurred.
You know, Mamma.
She has quite the pretty face, but it
seems she's also quite the tough one.
That was really painful.
Finally. I'm finally completely back!
Don't ever turn invisible again, Ninny!
Yes! I'm never disappearing again!
I wish I could've scolded
Moominpappa like that too.
This is great, Ninny.
Ninny.
Mamma!
I'm so happy for you.
Oh!
Don't laugh!
I may have just caught
a cold, thanks to you!
Alright, what's so funny?
I see! So Ninny laughed.
That girl has never laughed
even once in her life before.
I'm sure Ninny will be fine
even in her aunt's house now.
After how terribly she treated Ninny, -
I can't believe she's shameless
enough to say that she's -
been thinking about her
niece ever since we left!
But it seems she really wants
to live with Ninny again.
Too-ticky!
Ninny!
Ninny left to live with
her aunt once again.
This time though, even if she
gets treated a little badly, -
she probably won't turn
invisible anymore.
Ninny has become very strong now.
A ship that sails through the skies -
that is what Snork dreams of.
Spreading its large wings, -
it shall freely sail the
ocean known as the sky.
To be able to construct
such a ship,
Snork's aviation
experiments have begun.
Next time on Fun Family
Moomin, Episode 11:
Snork Flies Through the Skies.
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
