00:00Maman and the Snork Maiden
00:27Moomin and Snorkmaiden were still fast asleep in the Rowan tree.
00:32The sun was high in the sky and the floating theater had floated away a long time ago.
00:44Oh, I feel so good. I really slept like a log all night.
00:52It's so lovely to be out in the fresh air with Moomin and a tree in bloom.
00:58No! No! The house is gone! I mean, the theater is gone!
01:05What?
01:06Moomin!
01:07What?
01:08Wake up, Moomin! Wake up! There's been a catastrophe! Wake up!
01:12What's a catastrophe?
01:13Look down. The theater's floated off during the night.
01:18I don't believe it.
01:28It has! It's gone! I can't see it anywhere!
01:33It must be far away by now.
01:35Moomin, your father's walking stick!
01:37Huh?
01:40It must have gotten loose in the middle of the night while everybody was asleep.
01:49Crying won't solve the problem, Snorkmaiden.
01:52But we're stranded in a Rowan tree with water all around us!
02:22We're adrift! We're floating away! We're drifting away!
02:31What are we going to do?
02:33Moomin and Snorkmaiden are still up in that beautiful Rowan tree.
02:37That's just typical.
02:38Where is it? How can we have drifted so far away?
02:41You whistled last night, didn't you?
02:43I told you never to do that in the theater. It brings bad luck.
02:52Help! Help! Help!
02:57Don't do that! You're too heavy! Let go of me!
03:04Little My!
03:08Oh, no!
03:10That was mean of you, Snork! I'll remember this!
03:13Oh, Little My!
03:15You're so mean and selfish! You won't be forgiven!
03:19Little My is drifting off.
03:21Seems we're stranded and that's not a bad thing.
03:24Theaters shouldn't swim about like that.
03:34I'm too scared to get over to your side.
03:37You must be brave, Snorkmaiden.
03:39I'll catch you so you won't fall, okay?
03:43Ow!
03:48I told you so. The branch didn't break, did it?
03:51Thank you for saving me.
04:00Are you all right, Moomin?
04:02I can stand up, Snorkmaiden. Look, the water's only ankle deep.
04:06Really?
04:09Ah!
04:14Are you all right, Snorkmaiden?
04:16Yes, it's so shallow.
04:23I wonder where I'm going to end up.
04:25It doesn't matter. I rather like this boat.
04:28And some ice. I'll go back to sleep for a while.
04:32It's getting dark, isn't it?
04:34Huh?
04:40Yes! Dry land!
04:42Look there! A fire!
04:45Must be people over there.
04:47Yes!
05:02Of course! I'd forgotten. Tonight's Midsummer Eve.
05:06Of course! I'd forgotten. Tonight's Midsummer Eve.
05:37What a strange catch.
05:45So the Moomins have split up. Are they in trouble, Little My?
05:49Yep. Seems I was probably the luckiest one, as usual.
05:52More!
05:54I'm sorry you can't have any more. That's all I had.
05:57I don't believe you. Your bag's still full.
06:00Yes, but not with food, Little My.
06:02What's in it, then?
06:04We'll find out.
06:09Where are we going?
06:10To a park.
06:11I hope there's a hot dog stand there.
06:13Let's go.
06:31Those two over there are the park keeper and his wife.
06:34Look! They're always watching.
06:36They guard a lot of poor orphans who come to the park every day.
06:40Really?
06:41Look over there!
06:46Unbelievable!
07:00Hey, what's this?
07:04Hey, kids!
07:06Come on, everybody! We're here to let you out!
07:08Come quickly! Hurry!
07:11We can't go anywhere.
07:12We have to sit right here so they can see us.
07:15Yeah, otherwise they might lose one of us.
07:18What a lot of signs.
07:20No walking on grass, no shouting, no running.
07:23What a lot of rules.
07:25What are they good for, Snufkin?
07:27Nothing. Nothing at all.
07:29And that's why we're going to pull them up.
07:32No, you mustn't. I don't think one is allowed to do that.
07:35And you have to walk on the grass.
07:38Yes, indeed. And I really like walking on the grass.
07:41I always have.
07:44No buts. Come on, everybody. Let's make a start.
07:53That looks like fun. I'll pull some, too.
07:58What are you doing? Can't you read?
08:00There's a sign saying it's forbidden to pull up signs.
08:03This one?
08:07Asshole!
08:17My beautiful sign!
08:19Bye-bye!
08:24There, you're free. Go run!
08:26Okay!
08:32Stop! Wait!
08:38What on earth are those? My goodness!
08:42Those little balls are shining.
08:51Hattifatteners!
08:53Quite right. Those were hattifattener seeds.
08:55Come on, everybody. Run!
09:01Help me!
09:03How did you get out of here?
09:05Help!
09:07Someone help!
09:09They're after me! Get down!
09:11Get away! Quick!
09:13They're terrible!
09:18Where could that floating feeder have gone?
09:22They're still following us.
09:27Come on, you kids. You can go wherever you want.
09:30Do what you like.
09:32Yeah, but I don't know what I want.
09:35I think they want to go with you, Snufkin.
09:38But I don't know anything about small children.
09:41I'm not sure I even like them.
09:43All we have to do is find the theater.
09:45Moominmama will know what to do.
09:47In that case, let's go.
10:05A house!
10:07Yes, and look. All the lights are on.
10:09Maybe they're celebrating Midsummer Eve.
10:11Shall we go there?
10:13Yes.
10:35At last!
10:37Hello! Happy Midsummer!
10:40Thank you. Happy Midsummer.
10:43What can I do for you?
10:45Would you have seen a theater drifting around somewhere, ma'am?
10:48A theater?
10:49Yes, you see, it drifted away in the flood, and my parents are on it.
10:52Oh, dear. I haven't seen anything like that.
10:55Oh, what a pity.
10:57Thank you. We'll look elsewhere.
10:59Have a nice Midsummer party!
11:01A party? Oh, yes, a party. Thank you very much.
11:05Very well, then. I'll say good night.
11:10Did we say something wrong, Moomin?
11:13I don't know.
11:24What's the matter?
11:26I think she's crying.
11:29Hello? Is there anything we can do? Anything at all?
11:33Aren't you having a party, ma'am?
11:35No, unfortunately. She's not coming this year, either.
11:38Who is she?
11:40My aunt on my father's side.
11:42I invite her every year for a Midsummer party, but she never comes.
11:46How sad. You must be very fond of her.
11:49Oh, no. She's an awful person.
11:52If that's how you feel about her, why don't you invite someone else?
11:57She's my only relative.
11:59So invite someone who isn't a relative.
12:01Yes, why don't you invite us, for instance?
12:06Can one really do things like that? Just like that?
12:09Of course one can.
12:11Oh, how marvelous.
12:13To be perfectly honest, we're very hungry.
12:17I made lots of extra pancakes. Please, come in and join me.
12:21Thank you.
12:23Although we have drifted apart, tonight is Midsummer's Eve.
12:27Let's drink a toast to Moomin, Snorkmaiden, and Little My, and hope that they're safe.
12:32And we'd better drink to that no-good niece of mine, I guess.
12:35Who's that, Emma?
12:37My only relative. She lives all alone in a small house by the sea.
12:41Oh, is she all alone for Midsummer?
12:44Probably. Always invites me over for pancakes.
12:47I don't like relatives, and I don't like pancakes, and she's boring, so I don't go.
12:52Well, let's toast her anyway, and here's hoping we'll all be together again very soon.
12:57Cheers! Good health!
13:03Oh, that was really good. Everything was delicious.
13:06I think I've eaten too much.
13:08Oh, please have some more. Oh, this is so nice.
13:11I couldn't eat another thing.
13:13It was sad. It's such fun having someone to cook for.
13:16I'm so pleased you knocked at my door.
13:19All that's missing now is a bonfire. We always have one on Midsummer Eve.
13:24What a good idea. Let's have one.
13:29Over there.
13:41See these? The flood brought all of them.
13:44They were lying all over the place, so I tied them into one big pile.
13:48Would they make a good bonfire?
13:50Oh, a terrific one! Definitely!
14:11Oh, wow!
14:19We've walked for miles, but I can't see signs of a theatre anywhere.
14:23Oh, don't worry. We'll find it soon.
14:26Huh? And what's the matter with you?
14:29I'm hungry.
14:30Me too.
14:31And me.
14:32I can't walk anymore.
14:34We don't have any food. If you want food, you'll have to look for it yourselves.
14:41Oh, don't cry.
14:43Look over there, little Mike.
14:45Look over there, little Mike.
14:47What?
14:48Over there, hidden behind the trees.
14:50Whoa, a house!
14:51And the lights are on. We're saved!
15:16Hey, kids, you can't go eating other people's food.
15:19You can if they aren't home and it's just what's left over from a party.
15:23In fact, I will have some myself.
15:25It's amazing. I'm always so lucky.
15:34Now we must pick nine flowers.
15:37Why is that, Snorkmaiden?
15:39I don't really know. It's always nine or seven of something.
15:42No, not the same kind. You must pick nine different flowers.
15:46And then what do you do?
15:48You turn around seven times like this.
15:53I get it.
16:13And then?
16:15You walk backward until you reach a well.
16:19And then, when you look down into the well, there you'll see the man you're going to marry.
16:27How do you get him up?
16:29I think I see him. What a clever well.
16:32That I must try.
16:43I'd like someone more romantic.
16:45Got you!
16:47What are you doing?
16:49Come quietly now.
16:51All we did is pick some unprotected wild flowers.
16:54I know what you did.
16:56Hey, Snorkmaiden!
16:58Moomin!
16:59You know each other. That makes it conspiracy.
17:02But I tell you, we've done nothing wrong. Nothing at all.
17:05We were only celebrating.
17:07Better for you if you hadn't.
17:09We were only celebrating.
17:11Better for you if you hadn't.
17:12But why? Can't you light a bonfire here, sir?
17:15I must warn you that all you say will be used against you.
17:20I have a complaint from the park keeper.
17:22You pulled up these signs from his park and you burnt them.
17:25That's not true.
17:26It is true that we burnt them, sir, but we didn't take them from any park.
17:30They were brought here by the flood.
17:32Balderdash! Here's the evidence.
17:35I've caught you and that's that.
17:39I caught something.
17:42It's just a piece of wood.
17:44Had any ideas yet?
17:45Not a single one. How about you, Mama?
17:48Same here, I'm afraid.
17:50I just can't seem to think of anything at all.
18:01You wouldn't have any ideas about what we should do next, would you, Emma?
18:04About what?
18:06Some ideas about how to let the children know where we are, of course.
18:11How does anyone know where a theater is?
18:14I don't know.
18:16Please, tell us.
18:18Well, you put on a play.
18:20A play?
18:21Yes, that is correct.
18:22This is a theater and when you put on a new play, everybody comes flocking to see it.
18:26They come to laugh, to cry, to shout and to applaud.
18:29And when your children hear of it, they will be hearing a flash.
18:32What a splendid idea, Emma.
18:34That's exactly what we'll do.
18:37I'm sorry, we can't put on a play.
18:40Why not?
18:41We have no actors.
18:43They are pests, but one can't do without them.
18:46I can be one.
18:48And I'm also quite good at acting.
18:50I can act very well.
18:52There are only three of you and not one of you is an experienced professional actor.
18:56And don't forget, we have you, Emma.
18:59Me?
19:00Well, I've always felt that I would make a rather good Shakespearean heroine.
19:05And we can each have many parts, as long as they're not all on the stage at the same time.
19:10Isn't that so, Moominpappa?
19:12Of course it's possible to do it.
19:14I want the part that finds the treasure.
19:16No, that's impossible.
19:18We have no play.
19:19Nothing simple enough for the likes of you.
19:22Oh, Moominpappa can write one.
19:24He's very talented.
19:26No trouble at all, my dear.
19:27Any number of acts.
19:29But we don't want any number.
19:30We want three acts.
19:32That's what all proper plays always have, Moominpappa.
19:35Let's start right away.
19:37We've got to print posters.
19:38And clean the stage.
19:40Whatever, if I started.
19:44And this was how Moominpappa got started on his short career as a playwright.
19:56THE BIRDS
20:21But while the birds carry news of the play far and wide,
20:25what is to become of Moomin and Snorkmaiden?
20:31Their troubles are real ones.
