00:00Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba...
00:13Fall has come to Moominvalley, and the memory of sunshine-filled hours fades as the days become
00:19shorter and the nights longer. The wind blows away the falling leaves, and the blue skies of
00:24summer are now gray and cloudy. Winter is just around the corner. Snorkmaiden!
00:36Where are you going? Oh, I'm just taking my brother his lunch, little my. Hmm, he must
00:43have nearly finished the flying ship by now. Oh no, not even Snork works that
00:48quickly. Well, have you seen it? No, I haven't. He won't even let me come into
00:53his workshop. Is he afraid it'll disappear if someone sees it? He hasn't
00:58said why, but I suppose all great inventors have to be very careful.
01:01Someone might want to steal their ideas. Moomin told me he's dying to have a look
01:06at it.
01:23Look what I've got. It's a record player. Do you think you can get it working, dear?
01:39Oh yes, of course, Mama. Why do people always give me things that are broken?
01:44It'd be nice to have something that worked for a change. Moominpappa will get
01:50it working for you. My auntie said that the record was all right, though. It's
01:55dance music. She's had it for ages, but I've never heard it. Oh, that's nice. It's
01:59years since I danced, but it seems like only yesterday. Do you remember what fun
02:04it was, Papa? Dancing? Oh, yeah, I see. Have you fixed it, Papa?
02:13Huh? I can hear music. Doesn't sound like Snufkin.
02:43Right, have you got the idea now? Yes, I think so. Me too. Come on. Well, let's see
03:01you, then. May I? Delighted. Oh, wow. Look at Papa Moomin. He's a great dancer.
03:31Well, then, can you dance, Sniff? I've never tried. Right, well, try now.
04:01Oh, that was fun. Dancing never used to wear me out like this. You've got no sense of
04:15rhythm at all, Sniff. I can still dance, though, can't I? Oh, are you ready, Papa? I think
04:23I'll have to sit this one out, Mama. All right. Little My? No, thank you. I'll dance
04:32on my own. Well, then, why don't you dance with me instead, Sniff? Oh, looks like it's
04:52here for the day. Oh, what horrible weather, Snufkin. Yes, they're having fun. Well, Sniff
05:10brought this old record player over and we've been dancing. I haven't done it for years
05:14and years. Well, aren't you coming in? I can smell winter in the air, Moominpapa. Oh, yes,
05:22you're right. Snufkin, hi. Snufkin, come and dance with me. No, thanks, Little My. Sorry.
05:48I'm sorry. Oh, again. Hmm, what's the matter with this? I'm afraid it's broken. Just when
06:07we were having so much fun. Will you be able to fix it again, dear? No, even I can't bend
06:13it enough. Oh, please try, Papa, will you? Hmm, Snufkin, do you know anything about
06:18record players? No, I'm afraid not. Oh, dear. But? But what? I'll play my harmonic if you
06:25want to continue to dance and then you can fiddle around with the machine. How would
06:29that be? Oh, yes, please. That'd be great, Snufkin. Thanks. Now, then, what would be
06:34a good tune to dance to? Let's see.
06:56Oh. Now, what's this? Oh, no, I give up. May I?
07:26You're thinking about going away again, aren't you, Snufkin? Hmm. I know that you go south
07:44every year when winter comes, but I'll still miss you, though, and I wish you could stay
07:48here in Moominvalley. I know Moomin. Who are they? Hattifatteners, I think. I wonder where
08:04they're going. I don't know. A deserted island, I expect. Probably the best place for them.
08:13When are you leaving, Snufkin? Oh, I haven't decided yet. So, you'll be here for a bit
08:19longer, then. Do you know where you're going? No. It must be fun traveling. Yes, most of
08:27the time. It's the best way of meeting new people and still being on your own. I wish
08:33we could do that, but even when we hibernate and go to sleep, we're never really alone.
08:38I guess I'd hibernate, too, if I had to stay up here, Moomin, during all the freezing winter
08:42snows. Do you think I could go south with Snufkin, Papa? Not really. It's the Moomin
08:58way to hibernate. It's a family custom passed down through the years by our ancestors. But,
09:05Papa, I don't want to go to sleep for months on end. I want to travel south with Snufkin.
09:10Oh, Moomin, you promise you'll be back on the first day of spring? Oh, Mama, does that mean
09:17I can really go? I can't wait to tell Snufkin. I can, can't I? Well, if you really want to,
09:24I don't suppose we'll stop you, will we, Papa? Now, my parents didn't mind when I traveled
09:31around in my youth, so yes, all right, Moomin. Oh, thank you, Papa. Oh, thank you, Mama. That's
09:39great, but what will Snufkin say? Well, it's a good idea, and I gotta say it'd be fun to have
09:52you along, Moomin. So, I can come with you, Snufkin? No. What? I'm sorry, but I've got to go
10:00on my own. Don't be disappointed, Moomin. I told you I travel alone. I need to, after spending the
10:07rest of the year here, just as I need to be here after spending the winter alone, and the joy of
10:11returning to Moomin Valley is something I wouldn't miss. But, Snufkin, I thought... The time will soon
10:17pass, and you'll be asleep through most of it. You won't notice I'm not here. I'll see you next
10:23spring, Moomin. I'll be back on the first day, as usual, I promise, as soon as the weather warms,
10:29and when the flowers start to grow, nothing will keep me from Moomin Valley.
10:33I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, Moomin. Oh, it's all right. Oh, come on, Moomin, you'll have to tie
11:00them a bit tighter than that. It'll be a cold winter, so we'll need lots of wood to keep us
11:10going till spring comes. I know. You want to stay warm, don't you? When I grow up, I'll go south on
11:17my own, too. Yes, of course you will. Is Moomin home? Yes. How is he? Is he still down in the dumps?
11:45I'm afraid so. Grandma's cheer-you-up recipe didn't work. Oh, I think he's being silly just because
11:52Snufkin's going away. I suppose he is. But don't worry, Mama. He won't be miserable much longer
11:59because I got a surprise for him. Are you there, Moomin? Oh, Moomin, don't cry. Boys don't cry,
12:24I suppose. Of course they do. Well, I'm not crying, so there. All right, but I do think you
12:31should get up now. Oh, and why should I? I have a surprise for you. I don't want any surprises. Come
12:37on, I'm going to go and see Snork in his workshop. But you know he won't let us in. I've tried before.
12:44Oh, yes, he will today. I promise. What? You mean Snork will show us his flying ship at last?
12:51Yes, he said. Has he really finished it then? No, not yet. There's still a lot of work to do on it.
12:57Then I wonder why he's letting us see it. He's always refused before. What's made him change his
13:02mind? But I asked him this time. I said I wanted to show it to you. It just needed a woman's touch.
13:08What did you say to him? First he said, absolutely not. But when I told him how ill you were and that
13:14you probably wouldn't be with us much longer, he gave in and said we could see it. Just you and me,
13:19of course. I'm not that ill, Snork Maiden. Oh, good. Because sometimes when people are very
13:24depressed and just lie in bed, they've done something bad. Oh, stop it, Snork Maiden. Don't
13:29say things like that. I'm only trying to cheer you up. So remember, don't tell us all. No one
13:38else must know anything about it. Okay. Let's go.
13:54Oh, little my. Little my? Trouble. Big trouble. We must fool her. Yes, but how? What can we do?
14:14I know what we'll do. What? Quick, Moomin. You just agree with everything I say, Snork Maiden.
14:20Oh. I thought you were in bed, Moomin. No, we're going to see Snork. Yes. Really? Yes,
14:27she needs to clear a runway for when the flying ship is finished. We're going to help him do it,
14:31that's all. Yes. Are you really, Moomin? You got out of bed to do that? I'm afraid I find it very
14:38strange that Snork has asked you to go along and help him cut down bushes and dig up roots and
14:42things. You might have noticed I'm not a complete fool. But it's true, little my. Oh, yes. Well,
14:47at least you could have invented a better lie. You must think I'm pretty stupid to believe a
14:52pathetic story like that. But it's the truth. And we need your help. Yeah. Don't bother,
14:58don't bother. I don't want to hear anymore. I think it's very sad that you have to pretend.
15:03You're trying to hide something from me and I'm not interested in what sort of sneaky,
15:07underhanded thing it is. But, little my. No buts. And anyway, I'm a little too
15:11busy at the moment to take any notice of what's going on. Goodbye.
15:18Come on. Phew, that was close. Think they can keep a secret from me, do they?
15:42Are you alone? Of course we are. I promised, didn't I? Come in, then.
15:56Wow.
16:04It's nearly ready, isn't it? Oh, no. There's a lot more to do.
16:08The machinery isn't half finished yet. And as you can see,
16:11there's a lot to do on the ship itself. But I'm getting there slowly.
16:17I never thought it would be so fantastic, Smork.
16:21Well, I suppose you could say the design wasn't a complete failure.
16:26I'm quite sure it'll fly beautifully. Oh, thank you. Do you really think it will,
16:32Moomin? I can see it now, high up in the air, dodging in and out of the clouds,
16:37way up above the world. Well, I'm glad to see that you're so perceptive and quite right.
16:43Oh, how very thoughtless of me. Shouldn't you sit down and rest, you know, your illness?
16:48It doesn't help to get too excited. Ha, I shouldn't worry, Smork. There's nothing wrong with him.
16:56Oh, little my, how did you get in here? Through that door. But I always keep it...
17:02Oh, oh, oh, no, I must have forgotten to lock it. And it's a bit late to do it now,
17:09isn't it? But don't worry, if I wanted to get in, I'd get in locks or no locks.
17:14Oh, you lied to us, little my. Of course, but so did you,
17:18telling me that stupid story. Now we're even, right?
17:21Now listen, little my, don't ever tell anybody what you see or hear.
17:26All right. This invention contains so many outstanding new features,
17:33it is difficult to know where to begin. But let me start with the most exciting part of
17:40the whole construction. It began as a dream, or rather the concept of a dream.
17:51Thrilling, beautiful, impossible, dangerous.
18:22Can you take the ship down, Moomin? I'd like you to land at that side of the lake.
18:26Oh, why do you want to get off? Aren't you having fun flying about up here?
18:32I want to be on my own. Oh, please stay here.
18:35I'll let you steer if you want. No, really, Moomin, please. Bye now.
18:42No!
18:47It's not fair!
18:48So long then, Moomin, my friend. I'll see you again next year, the first day of spring.
19:18Ah.
19:45Goodbye then, Snufkin.
19:48Off for the winter, eh, Snufkin? Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Hemulen.
20:05We'll be seeing you in the spring. Yes, when the snows are gone.
20:09Ah, to be young and follow the sun wherever it goes.
20:33And so the snow fell and winter came to Moominvalley.
20:37And in Moomin's heart, Snufkin and the spring seemed a long, long way away.
