00:00It was the end of summer, but still every day seemed hotter than the last.
00:29Moominvalley had had no rain for weeks, and finally the river had dried up.
00:34Papa says this weather is a catastrophe, Snufkin.
00:37Oh, not really.
00:38Oh, but it is. He says Moominvalley will turn into a desert if it carries on.
00:43I don't think that will happen, Moomin.
00:46Papa can't ever remember it so hot. Even the river has dried up.
00:50Now, that does worry me. I can't fish anymore.
00:54In all my travels, I've found that droughts like this are always followed by a real heavy downpour.
01:00Well, it's too hot for me anyway.
01:16Oh, it's so hot I can't think.
01:21I can. I can always think of something.
01:28Well, well, even the weeds are wilting.
01:48The sea never dries up, does it?
01:50Of course not, stupid. Where would the fish go?
01:53I'm going swimming.
02:19There you are.
02:27Watch this.
02:57Ah!
03:26Ah!
03:32Ouch, that hurt. What's this stupid box doing here?
03:36I think it's floated from foreign lands.
03:39What's it got in it?
03:40Perhaps it's full of priceless jewels.
03:43No, it wouldn't float so high in the water if it was.
03:46A tiara packed in wood shavings. I could use a new comb, too.
03:52What have you found, you two? A treasure chest?
03:54No, we don't think so. It's not heavy enough. But you never know, Snork Maiden.
03:59Let's open it and see.
04:01Come on, slaves. Push me ashore.
04:09Perhaps it's gold nuggets in here.
04:11Diamonds are something to eat.
04:25What is this?
04:28Seeds, maybe.
04:29What sort of seeds?
04:35Well, at first glance, I'd say they might be tropical plants.
04:38Oh, really, Mr. Hemulon?
04:40What sort of plants are tropical?
04:42Well, species like banana or mango.
04:44Banana? And mango?
04:47Well, I haven't done a lot of research on tropical plants, so I can't be sure, but they do look like it.
04:53I know, Mama. Why don't we plant them?
04:55Good idea, Moomin.
04:57The thing is, we don't have a tropical climate. I'm afraid they wouldn't grow here at all.
05:02Let's plant them, shall we?
05:04They won't bear any fruit, so don't get too excited.
05:07Oh, well, it seems tropical enough to me, Mr. Hemulon.
05:10At least we can try, can't we?
05:12I want to see what papayas look like and ugly fruit.
05:15I want mangoes growing all around my bedroom window.
05:19Let's plant them, shall we?
05:23I tell you, they're strictly tropical. They won't take root at all.
05:28That certainly seems that Mama is enjoying herself, Mr. Hemulon.
05:53I don't think it'll be much use.
05:55Perhaps not, but it's still worth the fun and trying.
05:59Imagine Moomin Valley, a tropical jungle.
06:04Oh, Mr. Hemulon, do you think these seeds will grow into real fruit trees?
06:09Hmm, let me see. What have you got here, Little My?
06:14I could very well be mistaken, but I think this one is a mango seed.
06:20Hmm, thanks.
06:22And why do you want to know, Little My?
06:24Because I'm only growing fruit.
06:26I want to be sure I'm not planting stupid orchids or passion flowers or something.
06:34Mr. Hemulon, can you tell me which one of these is banana?
06:39I'm not really too sure, but I think it's this one.
06:42You want to grow an orchard too, Snork Maiden?
06:45No, I just want to plant a banana tree in a really special place.
06:49It's Moomin's favorite fruit.
06:56I think she'll be disappointed. Bananas won't grow here.
07:00Hmm, this weather doesn't belong here either.
07:02If it gets any hotter, I'll melt.
07:04I can't wait for dusk so it'll cool down a bit.
07:19Isn't it wonderful to go to sleep looking at the stars?
07:22And it's not so hot anymore.
07:24I'll sleep like a log tonight.
07:27You always do, don't you, Little My?
07:30I'll sleep like an extra heavy log then.
07:38Snork Maiden, why don't you sleep under that tree with Moomin and Little My?
07:43Oh, because I can't see the stars from there and it makes me feel romantic looking at them.
07:48But you're going to get very wet if it starts raining in the night.
07:52You're joking. Surely, Mama.
07:54Not at all.
07:56It hasn't rained for ages and there aren't any clouds or anything, just stars.
08:01All the toothpicks fell on the floor and that's a sure sign of rain.
08:05Snork Maiden won't mind if she gets all wet, Moominmama. In fact, she'd be happy.
08:10Oh, why is that?
08:12Because then she'll know that the special tree will start growing and that's very important to her.
08:18That's true.
08:21Good night, everyone. I hope you sleep well.
08:32Good night, everybody.
08:44Good night. Don't snore.
09:02It's too hot to sleep.
09:05Why don't you sleep outside like the children?
09:08I think I will.
09:20A thunderstorm.
09:22I told you, the toothpicks are never wrong.
09:35Hey, it's raining, Moomin. Wake up, Moomin.
09:40Oh, is it morning? The sun's really bright.
09:44No, it's raining.
09:46Raining? Look at that.
09:50You look. I'm getting wet. I'm going inside.
09:53So Mama was right about the rain.
09:55Hey, Snork Maiden.
09:58Doesn't she look sweet?
10:00Snork Maiden!
10:01Is it raining?
10:03That's very clever.
10:05Your mother knows everything, doesn't she?
10:07She does. Now let's get into the house.
10:10Not yet. I want to feel the rain on my face. It's been so long.
10:19You want to feel it much longer?
10:39I want to feel it much longer.
11:08It stopped raining.
11:22Mangoes! That's impossible.
11:26Gosh!
11:32By my tail, a jungle. That's a tropical jungle.
11:44Wake up! Wake up, you two.
11:46There's a jungle outside. We've planted a jungle.
11:52A jungle?
11:58You're right, Moomin. Those seeds have not only sprouted.
12:01I know. They're big trees.
12:03I've never known trees to grow like that.
12:06But...
12:07I think I'll go and play Tarzan.
12:11I wish my lettuce seeds would do that, Moominpappa.
12:14There's magic here somewhere, Mama. Let's go and explore.
12:21That's rain drumming on the canvas.
12:31It must be...
12:32Snufkin!
12:37What on earth's all this?
12:39Well, we found a crate of tropical seeds and planted them last night.
12:43And this morning, well, you can see it's like magic.
12:46It's fantastic.
12:48I know. We can go on a safari.
12:56I've seen nothing like it.
13:00What kind of flower is this?
13:02It looks like an orchid to me.
13:04This is a real tropical jungle, isn't it, Snufkin?
13:07Not quite.
13:08What do you mean?
13:09Well, Moomin, a real jungle would have wild animals in it, wouldn't it?
13:13Oh, yeah. Like tigers and snakes.
13:15This is more of a tropical botanical garden, I suppose.
13:28That's Moomin's, Little My.
13:30He can have the peel.
13:35This is a light.
13:40Stop, Little My!
13:47What are you looking for, dear?
13:49My solar topi.
13:50Your what?
13:51My sun helmet. I can't go into the jungle without it.
13:54I didn't know you had one.
13:56I used it for a fancy dress party once. I know I put it in a box somewhere.
14:01Oh, here it is.
14:03Very dashing, dear.
14:05I thought so, too.
14:07Oh, I know.
14:26Splendid protection, this hat.
14:33Papa, what on earth are you doing?
14:37I want to get into the cello.
14:40What for?
14:41To get my gun.
14:43Your gun?
14:44Only fools venture into the jungle without a proper gun.
14:48I don't think you need a gun, Papa.
14:50And why not?
14:52Because there aren't any wild animals.
14:54Well, one of the seeds might have been an egg or something.
14:59These, for instance, they look very animal.
15:04Very odd animals.
15:06More of an odd plant, I think.
15:08I'd stay away from them. They could be very dangerous.
15:11Look, they've got eyes.
15:13Careful. I think they're man-eating plants.
15:16Man-eating?
15:18Hey, stop that.
15:21Help!
15:23Help!
15:24They're trying to eat me.
15:26They want to feed me to their young.
15:28Help me!
15:30Help!
15:32They're tearing my tail off.
15:33Hang on, Papa.
15:34Oh, dear.
15:43Help!
15:51Well done, my little my. You just saved my life.
15:54Well, I saved your tail anyway.
15:57Oh.
16:02Get something to jam this door shut.
16:05Come on. Hurry.
16:09Oh, no, we can't hold on much longer.
16:16Huh?
16:30That should keep them in now, shouldn't it?
16:32Well, I don't think they could push their way through that lot.
16:35They had a very strong grip on my tail.
16:37We mustn't underestimate them.
16:39Anything wrong?
16:41You bet. The cellar's full of man-eating plants trying to gobble up Moominpappa.
16:46Oh.
16:47Oh, my goodness.
16:49What's the matter?
16:50You can get straight from the cellar into the kitchen.
16:53What?
16:54Oh, no, Mama.
17:09Oh, hello.
17:11Phew, we got here just in time.
17:13Whatever's the matter with you? Are you all playing Tarzan?
17:16Oh, no, Mama.
17:18I'm making Grandma's if-you-ever-cat-a-tropical-fruit recipe.
17:21And perhaps now it's rained, I can wash this dirty floor.
17:27Ah, ah, by the great booble, I don't believe this a tropical rainforest.
17:34Ah, ah, a transcendentia megaloids.
17:38And yes, a dyspepsia floribunda.
17:41Goodness me, I can collect a whole tropical herborium right here in Moominvalley.
17:46A trowel, that's what I need.
17:48I'll get one from the Moomins.
18:00Must say they're not the tidiest family.
18:02I'll have to move this.
18:06All this old furniture.
18:20Do I look that funny?
18:22No, you look great.
18:24Maybe you and Tarzan have different muscles.
18:26Me, Tarzan.
18:28You, Jay.
18:30Oh, here we go.
18:32Get out before me sick.
18:37Help! I've got man-eating plants after me.
18:40What? They must have got out.
18:57They were in the cellar.
18:59Did you open the door, Mr. Hamilet?
19:01Well, yes, I wanted to borrow a trowel.
19:05Mr. Hamilet, you know all about plants.
19:08Do you have any idea how we can get rid of them?
19:10They're man-eaters, you know.
19:12Get rid of them?
19:14Well, let's see.
19:15We are in a bit of a fix.
19:17I have heard that they react to music.
19:20Music?
19:21Snufkin, you could play a harmonica.
19:24Hmm.
19:42Look, they've started dancing.
19:44Stand up, Snufkin.
20:02What will they do if he stops playing?
20:05I really don't know.
20:13What's this?
20:25They're rather sweet when they don't try to eat you.
20:29And that was how a tropical jungle grew and surrounded Moominhouse in one night.
20:34Is it going to stay?
20:36And for how long?
20:38And what will the man-eating plants do if Snufkin stops playing?
