A magic ball

Subtransl.ed balloumowgly

It was quiet that day in the kingdom...

The air was heavy and began to surround the castle

I set off even though I knew I was leaving...

in danger his daughter, Princess Irene...

But the bad situation in the country forced me to do this...

Guard... before

Through the mountains... let's go

I thought
those old walls would be strong enough to protect my baby.

After all, Irena was always safe...

.
...safe in the hands of her loyal good...

Ugh...

Irena, Princess Irena.

Irena!

Come on, I know you're in there somewhere.

But well, I'll have to wait.

Oh, it's a little girl
pretty, a real royal, so how could she not when she's a princess.

No, Terlip, no, you can't do that.

You know Luti, she's always dealing with weird stuff.

Strange things, you never know what might happen.

Her father told me: take care of her!

It's late, I have to find...

It's okay, I think
he's sleeping. Come on, Terlip.

Terlip I found it!

Come on, Mr. Worm.
It won't hurt your insanity.

Terlip, oh Terlip!

No!

Angry, help me!

Luti!

Oh, where are we!?

I wish Luti was here.

Hello, who is this?

My dress, let me go!

Ooo, Turlip!

Oh, someone's here.

Who is this?

Look Turlip, it's a boy!

Are you all right?

A gandi.

You look good.

I was scared, that's all.

Scared? You don't have to be afraid anymore.

There is one thing they can't stand, it's a song, they hate music.

You see,
you do this when you see a leprechaun or some of their pets.

Goblins, pets!?

Yes, everyone knows
about leprechauns and their pets, except the people at the castle.

Oh!?

You're from the castle, aren't you?

Yes.

And you don't know the way back?!

No.

Typical. Come on, follow me.

These goblins aren't so bad, if you know how to treat them.

But they were horrible!

Hey
well, they're actually a little creepy, but you shouldn't have run...

...to face them and sing.

But singing doesn't always work down there.

Where downstairs?

Down in me.

In me?!

Yes, that's where they live, where my father works.

They don't teach you anything in that castle

Of course they teach me to read, write, count...

Count!
Great, that'll really help you against the goblins...

..at least you'll know how to count them.

Irena!

Irena!

Angry, God, he cares about me.

Well, I'll leave you to it, you'll be safe now, see you...

Irena.

See you Irena.

Let me kiss you in gratitude.

Kiss me?

Princess Irene, what are you doing?

Princess! You didn't tell me you were a princess!

You didn't even ask.

Well, I have to go now, I need me home.

Irena, there you are.

Wait, you didn't tell me your name!

Kurzi, my name is Kurdy!

Kurds.

Oh, princess, you silly.

The fight, it was awful, some goblin creatures were chasing us.

Goblin creatures!? Nonsense!

- but Luti is true!
"Don't be mad at me, you've been disobedient".

.so you're leaving, something might have happened!

But Luti, something happened...

So princess, what are you going to do... uh... uh...

Help!

Irena, Irena, where are you?

Hi Luti.
Don't worry, I'll help you.

Come on, get up.

Uh-oh.

You know, you should be more careful.

And what are you going to do today?

Luta, I can play...

No, you can't. Not after last night!

But Luti, now I know what to do if I meet a leprechaun.

Don't tell me about
leprechauns. They don't exist.

Are you hurt?

You know Luti, you work so hard.
Why don't you rest, I'll be fine.

Well, yeah, maybe you're right.

But don't sneak up on me and see that boy.

Terlip, Terlip, where are you?

How did you get there?!

Use. Magic door.

Oh, Terlip, it's okay, I'm here now.

Now, what have you got?

Turlip! Come on, scaredy-cat.

Okay. Then I'm going alone.

Oh... It's just a pigeon.

What kind of noise is it?

Anybody there?

Who is this? Does she look that weird?!

You don't have to be afraid of me.

How does he know my name?

I know your name because it's the same as mine, Irena.

I don't want
to talk to you. Luti told me never to talk to strangers.

But I'm your great-great-great-grandmother.

I don't have a great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother!

I'm not as great as you say.

You must be very old.

O da.

Older than you can imagine.

If you are
really my great-great-grandmother, then why didn't they tell me about you?

Not everyone knows I'm here.

I mean, you're not a real person.

Okay.

You're not just a dream, are you, Grandma?!

Oh! You're not! Then you must be... a ghost!

So you shouldn't be afraid.

I'm not really a ghost,
but I'm not real either.

You mean you're some kind of magic?

Yes, in a way.

Like a rose on a window that turns into a flame.

I put that rose there to bring you to me.

I thought you might need my help.

Oh, sometimes I really need help, Grandma.

Luti is very kind, but she doesn't know how to help me with my homework.

I didn't mean this kind of help!

So what kind of help did you mean?

We all need help when we have problems.

Am I in trouble, Grandma?

I feel like you'll soon be my baby.

But remember,
I'll be here when you need me, but you won't always be able to see me.

Irena!

Irena! Where is that girl?

Grandma, Grandma, where are you?

Irena!
Oh, that girl's gonna be in trouble when I find her.

Oh, that princess is so weird...

..what to do with the boy
that boy and the leprechaun stories, and those hidden things, to die of worry!

Oh, three more steps, but I promised the king I'd take care of her...

...no one would harm the princess, she's still a child...

Poor child, without a mother...

O,
these stairs, it's a problem in castles... too many stairs... oh...

Princess Irena!

Are you looking for me?

What!? Where have you been naughty princess!

I had to visit my grandmother.

But you don't have a grandmother.

...so I sang as loud as I could, like you told me to...

..and then they all ran away and hid...

...and we sang louder and louder, and those skinny little monsters...

... to
ran off and left that girl alone, pretending to be a princess.

Princess!?

Yes.

That was extremely brave, son.
But watch out for those goblins...

... are very bad.
If they want something, nothing will stop them, not even your song.

Rest Kurdy, you don't have to do this.

- is fine.

No, no, really.
It's hard for someone your age.

What is this?

Where is that noise coming from?

Where are they?

Oh no. Leprechauns.

- Hey, Glaub, are you hurt?
- No, I don't believe in Map.

He just hit my head, he, he...

- his head?!
- Just your head?! What a shame...

... to at least hit you somewhere
that hurts, so you can't work...

So I reported you to Prince Foglib!

Get up, get up!

Oh, poor creature.

And Prince Froglib likes to do different things to people.

What things?

What things! What things!
What you're missing!

No imagination?

Of course I do.

So... which
is the most sensitive part of your body?

Don't be stupid! My feet, of course!

So... what would Prince Froglib do with them then?

Would you stand up!?

A date! Meeting, in the royal cave!

Throw the Glaub stone,
we'd better go! Quickly!

And then we'd be... aaa...ooo...

- they sunk their mines, you idiot!

Oh, yeah, sink... aaaa... aaa...

- I know. I'd sink their mines!
- Well, that's what he meant.

Silence!

Thank you
Dear .... I meant that we will...aaa...

- Let's get rid of the people, you idiot!

Yes, that we'll get rid of people... uh...

No! It's not enough!

Oh, this is Prince Froglib!

- What do you mean it's not enough?
- Not enough of my little monstrosity!

No
you told me I lived on the surface of the earth a hundred years ago!?

- and so is my little idiocy.
- but we've been expelled underground, haven't we?

Because on earth we were forced to help others...

...being nice to people.

Not possible!
How could we live with these people... 211... ...shy, scornful creatures...

... with gentle feelings and soft heads.

That's nice, son, but haaa... aaa...

Will you shut up a minute!

What the hell did you think?!

She is a very simple mother.

We should do worse than sink their mine!

We need revenge!

We have to go up and get them all...

... and bring them here with us!

And make them eat the dirt under their fingernails!

Ooo, what a mysterious prince he is!

Yeah, but how could we... uh...

It is extremely simple.

First we should dig a tunnel.

And after that... that's very good...

What? What will they do?

Yes! Brilliant! We'll... uh...

They will sink our mine.

But there's a lot of water there, people will drown!

I have to warn them.

But what was Froglib talking about?!

Some kind of plan!?

Goblins!

- Kurzi!
Thank God you're all right! Dad!

Daddy!

This is the king! This is the king!
The king is back! It's the king!

- Dad, Dad!
- Yes, my baby, I'm here!

Pier, get the horse!

I'm glad you're back.
Will you stay now?

- Of course.

Come on! Let's tell me all the news!

I was up in the tower visiting my great-grandmother.
Her name is Irena, just like me.

- What?! But you knew it was there, didn't you!?

I didn't know it was there now.

But... then it must have been a dream after all.

No, it isn't. This is one of her pigeons.

Yes. I'm sure it wasn't a dream.

I heard you got home late one night.

Yes. I'm lost.

I was chased by some strange creatures.

Strange creatures?

Yes. The boy I met said they were goblins.

- Leprechauns!?
Here!? - Yes

And I thought they were just stories!?

Then it must be true!

Don't worry your baby
I'm not leaving.

Garda! Garda!

These are just mining stories.

How can you believe in something that doesn't exist!?

How will we know them when we see them!?

They might even attack us, nothing worse than that!

What did you hear?

What if they're creatures?
But... they don't exist!?

Help! Help! Dad! Luti!

Thank God.

It's Grandma's spindle.

She said she would be here if I got in trouble.

Grandma!

I'm sure I heard the spindle.

Come on, Grandma, I know you're in here somewhere.

Come on, Irena!

My child, you're cold and wet!

I'll light a fire for you.

Oh, Grandma, that's wonderful.

Let's make more magic.

I didn't bring you here
to show you tricks...

... Come closer...

- Oh!
- Poor thing, you're hurt.

Yes.
A strange creature came to our castle and scratched my hand.

Strange creature!? In the castle!?

Turns out it's a lot worse than I thought.

Oh, Grandma, that's better.

It's time I showed you what I did to your spindle.

- for me!? - Yes!

- Oh, Grandma!
- It will protect you from danger!

But you protect me, Grandma, no matter how dangerous I am...

...you protect me with your magic.

Yes, but my magic may not be enough.

How do you figure that?

Maybe you'll need a different kind of magic...

... and what is in all of us...

To be brave!

It's more than just being brave, my child.

It's the magic of good against evil...

...right versus wrong...

... when
you do something you think is good, even if no one will help you with it!

But I won't need such
magic, Grandma! Because you'll be here!

Well,
yes, I'll be here, but there will come a time when you won't need me...

...because you will find your own magic.

Here it is! I've been doing this to you all along!

This is a very nice grandmother,
but I'm not very good at knitting!

This ball is not for knitting!

What a beautiful ring!

I really don't understand, Grandma, I thought you gave me a ball!

And I did, and you still do.
It's tied to your ring!

It's so thin you can barely see it.

But you'll be able to feel it.

Use it when you're in trouble.

You'll only find your magic if you follow the thread.

Just follow the thread.

If you tie it to a rock, you will always know how to turn around.

Careful, honey.
You can't wait till morning!

Okay, I'll leave at dawn.
But I really have to go...

... someone needs to find out what the leprechauns are doing.

He doesn't know those roads
from there. I have to go.

Oh no. We're out of heads.

I'm not going back until I find out what they're planning.

This is like a village. Goblin village.

Goblins must live here.

Get that dog over here!

I told you... not until we sink their mines!

That was close.

That promises something!

What a strange tunnel!

What's up, man!

What is this!

She has... uh...

They call it fingers, stupid!

Yes, and then we'll get rid of them, right?!?.

She's ugly!

We'll make sure that these creatures
are always covered...

...that our little Toad should never have to look at them!

Isn't that my little free thinker!?

Yes, oh yes!

But, Mom... aren't sunny people called sunny...

... because they need the sun!

Ooo, such intelligence and bad brains!

Then... if you depend so much on the sun...

...then he'll start to confront us.

Oh, what stubborn wisdom.

That's why I have to keep them underground here.

...until their heads grow like this...

... and until their skin grows and wrinkles...

But
I may suffer, but it will be for the good of all the goblins.

Yes! Because who, who, who...

Because who ever marries Princess Irene...

... will become the king of sunny people!

Princess Irene!?

Weird!? Did you hear something?

Ooo! Sunny boy!

- Ah, get him!

- get him, hit him, hurt him!

I'm just passing through.

Give it to me, please, give it to me.
I could t*rture him like this.

We'll think about it
later! Guard!

Yes! Call the guard!

This is goblin hospitality!

I think she's a scared mother!

Scared!?
It'll take more than these goblins to scare me!

Come back, you freaks!

What a wonderful dozen.

Good stenographers!
Watch your feet!

Oh, horror, horror!

Run back! Move!

All the problems you people have
sunny people are because you are soft...

...soft in song...

...soft at heart...

... and soft in the head!

But I can still sing.

Stop it, stop it, I can't stand this noise!

Subtransl.ed balloumowgly

Stop it, stop your insufferable sound!

Push that rock!

Yes! Capture it, hide it, crush it!

Don't worry, he won't be able to sing forever...

... in
soon it will be so weak that we can do with it what we want!

It's not worth it, it's not moving!

Oh, my feet, my feet!

You must
keep playing, whatever happens, I have to keep playing.

Grandma!? Is that you?

Follow the thread!

You'll find your own magic...

..if you follow the thread.

What!?

I was just dreaming.

This is Terlip, as Grandma said...

...we have to follow the thread.

But I have to go!

Oh, Terlip, it's you!

I thought you ran away.

Let's go, then!

Oh, Terlip, look.
Not like that!?

Don't worry, I'll carry you.

It's ice cream.

It's so scary.

Oh no. Take a look at.

I'll never pass this way!

Maybe something's keeping him...

It's stuck!

Oh, Terlip, what do we do now?

I know! I'll follow the thread back!

Where's he gone now?!

We'll never find our way out of this cave!

No!

Very good. We'll keep him in
in the dark forever...

..and then his head will become like ours...

...and the skin will become wrinkled and dirty...

No! This is stupid!
It's too dangerous!

If he runs and warns others!

No! We will
wait until he's too weak to sing, so we'll k*ll him!

But mom! Please!

Can't we keep it?

I could t*rture him like that, I really could!

Patience!
Everything will be different when you marry that naughty princess!

You'll see...

... and then you can have as much
as many sunny people as you want...

... and do whatever you want to them!

Oh, great.

Mom, you're such a monster!

Sleep tight, son.
Good night.

You could take your shoes off
before you go to bed?

They're tough as nails... and I have... wow...

...OK OK. Make yourself comfortable.

That's right! That's what I should do.

To follow the thread through this pile of stones.

There must be a way through this!?

By that!?

That's that boy!

Not possible!

Are you Kurds?

- What was that?
- Kurds! Kurds!

- who's there? - It's me, Irena!

Irena!? Here!?

Push this rock
to try to move it!

- But I already have
Please!

Hello, princess! I'll try!

Kurdy, are you okay?

- I think - try again, it will definitely work!

Move aside!

- Quickly, you must
get out of here! Come on!

You're crazy. They're leprechauns!

It's fine. I got a wire!

The end? What thread?

The one my grandmother gave me, you fool.

Crazy? Yeah?

You must have gone n*zi crazy...

... the goblins almost k*lled me and now I'm going straight to them...

... and all because of a
one girl. Irena, where are you?

This way!

Ha! That's never been here before!?

Wine. Wait for me!

Are you wearing your cat
with you everywhere?

Of course. He's the only friend I have.

Except for you!

- on me?
- We're friends, aren't we?

Well, I guess we're a princess.

Don't call me princess and I'm a human being, you know!

You are?!

What do you mean?

So... how did you find me, underground!?

... right in the middle of the mountain!?

Just. I just followed Grandma's lead.

Come on, please! The end?! Grandma!?

And how else would I find you?

You think the leprechaun told me?!

- It isn't, is it?
- She's not crazy.

You're crazy, you'll get in trouble!

But I'm just following the thread.

- Come on - but I don't see any wires!

- Wait, let's go back.
- No, trust me.

Turn around. This is crazy.

Clocks. I know what I'm doing.

Irena, stop!
Goblin king! See.

You brought us straight
to the royal bedroom.

Royal bedroom!?

Hey, just wait a
Wait a second! The queen's shoes!

It has six fingers.

Creatures
sunny! Guard!

Irena! Run!

She's a princess!
Take her! Get her!

Yes! Za njoooooo.... aaa...

- Come on. No! This way!

- What?
- follow the thread!

- Irena!
- Quick!

Wow! What a descent!

- Are you okay? I think I did it.

Look at the Kurds. Moon!

You see that the thread
has brought us back!

Yes, but we need to warn others about leprechauns!

Let's go to Grandma's, she'll know what to do!

Oh no!

When you see it with your own eyes
you will believe it!

Come on, this way!

Grandma! I brought someone to see you!

- Well... - Here!

Now you have to trust me!

I don't see any grandmothers.

She's somewhere...

...she's...
she's just invisible right now!

Is your grandmother invisible?

Yeah.

...but she's here, I know she is.

Look, I'm glad you saved me, but I really don't have time for games.

This is not a game!

No, it isn't. I'm serious.
Leprechauns have a plan and you're part of that plan.

We can't waste time with invisible grandmothers.

You don't believe me, do you?

- Well... - but I thought we were friends!?

Friends don't lie to each other.

- I have to warn
King. - Let him go.

- Goodbye Kurdy.
- Goodbye... princess.

But I have a grandmother!

I have a.

Guard, guard!
I must see the King!

- Goblins!
- Stop! Who is this?

Get him!

Oh no! It's a boy!

- it's not
my fault. I didn't see him in the dark.

- It could have been one of
those creatures. Yes!

Come on!
Help me get him inside!

But I was only trying to warn the king...

Bleeding... delirium... ugly wound.

I don't understand Terlip at all...

Grandma wasn't there at all when I needed her!?

Now Kurdy thinks I've been lying to him all along.

But we didn't, did we?

She exists, doesn't she?

She said I'd find my magic if I followed the thread.

That's right! That's what Grandma thought!

He's not here because
he wants me to think for myself.

I have to find a way to save us from the goblins.

Come on, Terlip!
We have to find a way to save ourselves from the goblins.

Irena! Irena!

Oh, that girl's gonna be in trouble when I find her!

Luti! Luti!

So there you are!
I've been looking all over for you!

You had us so worried!

Angry, I want to see my father once!

But Princess, he's a very busy man!

- Shut up!
- and how things are in the kingdom...

...doesn't want to be disturbed.

Do as I say!

Bring me my father!
This is a matter of great importance!

- but Irena... - you heard me!

Give a message to the king, will you...

... and tell him the princess wants to see him.

- Yes, yes of course. Urgent!

- Yes, Your Majesty - Thank you!

Send to the king!
Send to the king!

So you're the kid
my baby! Where have you been?

Father, will you strengthen the guard?
We're in grave danger.

Why? In what danger?

Didn't Kurdy warn you, Dad!?

- Kurzi?!
- You mine boy!

- But...but...but... your majesty... -Hey!

What did he want to warn me about?

About leprechauns.
Please believe me!

Of course my baby!

Strengthen the guard!

Strengthen the guard!

What kind of noise is it?

Sounds like little creatures scratching around underground...

... and that means rats!

There are no rats... it's the mountain, that's what it is!

Ooo, have another drink!

No, no, don't worry. I know where else!

Shut up, you rats!

What is it! You've never had wine!?

Drink little rats!

Be good or I'll leave the yard cats on you!

Leprechauns. Stop the goblins!

Warn the king!

Hello Kurds!

You know who I am!

- Irene's grandmother.
- Yes!

Then you're real!

Don't worry. I'm here to help you.

Oh no. They're here!

Guard room!

I'm gonna need this!
I pray I haven't taken the princess yet!

Back! Get back!

Great Terlip! But where are the others!

Come on, boys, let's get you to your lovely princess.

Her room must be
here somewhere. Irena!

Irena!

- Thank God
Kurds!

What are you doing here?

The elves are here.
Stay inside and lock the door...

... I'll help them fight.
- Why can't I move?

No. Stay here where it's safe!

You'll be back though, won't you?

I'll be back. That's a promise!

Stand up!

Step on them!

You have to step on them.
It's the only place that hurts.

And sing.
I can't stand singing!

- Yes! - Where are the others?

We tried
to drive them out of the kitchen, but to no avail!

They've got the king!

Let's go, then!

Step on them!
Step on them!

Take the boy
that boy! Here!

Ahaha! That's better!

Come on, you naughty creatures!
Let me see you now!

Go back, you lazy b*stards!

Rise up and fight you unfortunates!

You stingy b*stards!

It hurts, doesn't it!!

back! Or I'll cut your head off!

A little closer! Just a little closer!

What is it? Are you afraid...

...to crush you with my stone shoe!

Who is stronger now!

What is it? No air?

What's wrong with you!? Are you scared?

Scared!?
No! It's a stench I can't stand!

What!?

I'm stuck!

Get this off me!

Get them!
Get them! Redirect!

Goodbye, you insane people...

...but I'm not done with you yet!

Bravo young man!
Are you all right?

Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

Rest a moment!

Irina's cat!

What is this? Where's Froglib?

What's the problem,
boy? What's the matter?

Where's the princess?
Where is Irena?

Princess! Oh no!

No! My baby! Not my baby!

Where's the princess?

Where's the princess? A princess?

Destroy the mine!
A message from the king!

He ordered you to sink the mine!

Oh no! Water! Here it comes!

Water! I think the wall will hold!

Get out of my way, you rats!

What is this?

Your Majesty! Get everyone out...

..is trying to sink the mine, but we've surrounded it with an embankment...

... there is only one way to avoid water!

God forbid!

And I can't find Princess Irene...

..she's not in her room!

Find it, son!
We've got to find her!

- Have you seen
Princess? - No! Why?

Out! Quick!
Drop everything and run!

I'll check the basement!
Everybody out or you'll drown!

Let's get out of here!

Who is this?

- Kurzi!
Watch out! Froglib!

Come one step closer and I'll wring his neck!

She's mine now!
I'm taking her back with me!

No! Don't go down there! You won't make it!

You eat!
Try and stop me, sunny boy!

But water! It's coming through this tunnel!

Do you think I'm stupid enough to fall for that old trick!

I'm not stupid!

Have you seen the princess?

I'm not your majesty!

Maybe he's still inside!

Oh, Irena! My poor child!

Water! Oh no!

- Irena!
- Kurzi!

Okay, Irena, I'll catch you when the power comes on!

Current! It's too strong!

Trust me!

Come on!

Oh, Kurds! Thank you.

I told you to trust me.

- Attention, Kurds!
- Froglib!

Yes! I've come for my princess!

What's the matter, boy
sunny! You can't breathe!

Stop it!

Look at it one last time,
princess, before I break his neck!

No! Let him go! Let him go!

Are you all right?

I did. And you?

Yes. Thanks!

Sorry about before!
