00:00In a quiet village nestled between mountains and rivers, there lived an elderly couple who had everything except the one thing they wished for most, a child to fill their home with laughter.
00:30Husband, look at that enormous peach!
00:35Either my eyes are playing tricks, or that's the biggest peach in all of Japan. It's as big as a festival drum.
00:47Help me! We can't let such a treasure float away!
00:53With surprising strength, Obasan pulled the enormous peach to shore.
00:59I've never seen anything like this. It is perfectly ripe, fragrant, and mysterious.
01:05Let's take it home.
01:07This peach is like a stubborn ox!
01:11As Oji-san was about to open the peach's skin, something miraculous happened.
01:19So cool!
01:23A child! A beautiful baby boy! Our wishes have been finally fulfilled!
01:31This...this is a miracle! A true miracle!
01:37He's perfect, warm, and healthy, and... ours!
01:45Born from a peach sent by the skies! We shall call him Momotaro, the peach boy!
01:52Papa! Mama!
01:55Our son! Our precious son! Our precious son!
02:01And so, the elderly couple raised Momotaro with all the love they had saved up for a lifetime.
02:08Momotaro grew faster and stronger than any ordinary child.
02:13In fifteen days, he grew as big as a fifteen-year-old teenage boy.
02:25Momotaro! Momotaro! The only demons have struck again!
02:28Slow down, Kinta! Tell me what happened!
02:31They raided the coastal village, stole their harvest, their treasures, everything!
02:36The villagers are in despair!
02:40It's true, Momotaro! The demons of Onigashima pillage without mercy!
02:46Taking what good people have worked hard for!
02:49Onigashima! The demon island! How long will we let them terrorize our people?
02:55Their leader, the great Oni Akandoji, is fearsome and cunning!
03:01No warrior has been brave enough to challenge them!
03:06Then I will be the first! I will go to Onigashima and stop them!
03:10Our people deserve to live without fear!
03:13But Momotaro! You're still so young!
03:22My son, you would risk everything for others?
03:31Mother! Father! You taught me the difference between right and wrong!
03:36How can I stand by while innocent people suffer?
03:39This is my purpose!
03:43My boy, we cannot stop you!
03:46We can only prepare you and hope for your safe return!
03:50That night, Obasan barely slept!
03:55She prepared something special for her son's perilous journey!
03:59Kibidongo! Millet Dumplings!
04:02These are no ordinary dumplings, Momotaro!
04:19I've infused them with old magic!
04:22They will give you strength and courage!
04:26Mother! I will carry your love with me!
04:29This katana belongs to my father, and his father before him!
04:34It has protected our family for generations!
04:37Now, it passes to you!
04:40I promise you both!
04:41I will stop the demons and come back!
04:44Remember!
04:46True strength isn't just in your katana!
04:49It's in your heart and mind!
04:51Use all three!
04:53I'll miss you every moment!
04:54But when I shall return, we will be a family again!
04:57And so, with his parents' blessings, his ancestors' katana, and magic dumplings, Momotaro set forth on his quest!
05:08Protect him, ancestors!
05:14Momotaro had barely begun his journey when...
05:18Well, well, you've got that hero-on-a-quest look about you!
05:24And you've got that talking dog thing going on!
05:26I'm Momotaro, and yes, I'm traveling to Onigashima to stop the Oni demons!
05:33Onigashima? Just you?
05:36That's either very brave or very foolish!
05:39Care to join me and find out?
05:42I have magic dumplings to share with loyal friends!
05:45Magic dumplings, you say?
05:46Well, I suppose someone needs to keep you from getting lost!
05:51Deal!
06:01Ooh, that's deliciously good magic!
06:05Alright, boy, you've got yourself a partner!
06:08My name's Enu!
06:10Let's go teach some demons some manners!
06:16Further down the road, a clever monkey dropped from a tree branch!
06:24Pardon the interruption, gentlemen!
06:25Couldn't help but overhear!
06:27Did someone say, Onigashima?
06:29Great! An eavesdropper!
06:33The name is Saru, and I happen to be the cleverest monkey in all of Japan!
06:38Onigashima's fortress!
06:40Full of traps and tricks!
06:42You'll need brains, not just brawn!
06:43Can you pick locks? Scale walls?
06:46Think fast under pressure?
06:48Can a fish swim?
06:50Can this dog be grumpy?
06:52Can I do all that and more?
06:54The answers are all yes!
06:56Welcome to the team, Saru!
06:59We'll need all the cleverness we can get!
07:13Oh, I could get used to this!
07:19Onward to adventure!
07:21As the unlikely trio continued, a magnificent pheasant swooped down from the sky.
07:28Halt! I am Gigi, swiftest flyer in the realm, and I have heard whispers on the wind of your noble quest!
07:37Oh good! A dramatic bird!
07:40This team just keeps getting better!
07:42I'll have you know, canine, that with aerial reconnaissance I can spot danger before it spots you!
07:50He's got a point!
07:51Kiji, your skills would be invaluable!
07:55Would you join us? I have one more magic dumpling to share!
07:59Well, if you insist! For the good of the villagers, of course!
08:04This is not about the magical dumpling!
08:06Oh my! That is remarkable!
08:18So we've got brains, wings, and raw good looks!
08:22You mean brains, wings, and agility?
08:25Clearly you both mean aerial superiority!
08:30I think we're gonna get along just fine!
08:32To Onigashima, together!
08:35For justice!
08:42After days of travel, the companions finally reached Onigashima, the demon island!
08:49Well, that is very doom and gloom!
08:52I count approximately fifteen Oni guards on the walls!
09:02Large, brutish creatures!
09:04Very poor posture!
09:06I smell fear!
09:09Oh wait, that might be me!
09:11No, definitely the Oni!
09:13They reek of stolen treasure and bad decisions!
09:16The front gate is heavily guarded!
09:22We'll need to be smart about this!
09:24Smart is my middle name!
09:26I see a weakness in their wall design!
09:28Who's bricks on the eastern side?
09:30I can create a distraction on the western wall while Monkey infiltrates the east!
09:36And I'll be with Momotaro!
09:38Nothing says we mean business like a warrior and his loyal dog kicking down the front door!
09:43Remember, we work together!
09:46Together!
09:47Inside the fortress, Momotaro and his companions faced the fearsome Oni horde!
09:50Apoi!
09:51DARE CHALLENGE OF ONI!
09:54Apoi!
09:55DARE CHALLENGE OF ONI!
09:56During the fortress, Momotaro and his companions faced the fearsome Oni horde!
09:58Inside the fortress, Momotaro and his companions faced the fearsome Oni whore.
10:15A boy and his pets dare challenge the mighty Oni?
10:24We've come to end your raids and return what you've stolen.
10:28Surrender peacefully, or face the consequences.
10:31Attack!
10:35Now, execute the plan!
10:39Imperial assault!
10:41How do you like that?
10:42And that, my aim is impeccable!
10:45A little trip here, a little tumble there!
10:51You big fellows aren't very graceful, are you?
10:54Over here, you overgrown bullies!
10:56Can't catch me!
10:58Oh, was that your club?
11:05Might want to work on your aim!
11:08Your journey ends today, Taken Doji!
11:11They moved like one being with four bodies.
11:16Kiji from the skies, Saru with clever tricks, Inu with brave barking, and Momotaro with his
11:23courage.
11:25Hey, Momotaro!
11:26The stolen treasures are in the tower!
11:28I've got the big red one distracted!
11:29Woof, woof!
11:30The gate's secured!
11:31They can't escape!
11:32You fight well, Oni leader.
11:34But you fight without honor.
11:36You take from those weaker than you.
11:37True strength is protecting others, not terrorizing them.
11:41How?
11:42How?
11:43How did a boy and three animals defeat an entire fortress of demons?
12:11Because we fought for something greater than ourselves.
12:14We fought for justice.
12:16And we fought as a team.
12:18Also, we're just really, really good!
12:23Woof!
12:24Thank you!
12:25Thank you!
12:26We're available for parties and special events!
12:29Momotaro and his brave companions returned home victorious.
12:33The Oni, thoroughly defeated and humbled, promised never to raid again.
12:39Three cheers for Momotaro the Beach Boy and his courageous companions, Inu, Saru, and Kiji!
12:48Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!
12:55You came back to us, our miracle boy.
13:00Now a true hero!
13:03I couldn't have done it alone.
13:05Inu, Saru, Kiji, they're the real heroes.
13:09And your magical dumplings, Mom!
13:11We succeeded because we found each other and worked as one!
13:15Well, I wasn't going to let you hog all the glory, Peach Boy!
13:19Besides, someone had to provide the brains of the operation!
13:23And don't forget my aerial heroics!
13:26Mother, father, I'm home, and I brought family with me.
13:31Our family just got bigger and better.
13:34I just want to say, having friends you can trust, working together toward a common goal,
13:40and always standing up for what's right, even when it's scary, is why I'm here.
13:45And so, Momotaro the Peach Boy's legend was born.
13:50The greatest treasures in life aren't gold or jewels, but the bonds we forge and the good we do together.
13:58From that day forward, Momotaro and his three friends were inseparable.
14:15I loved him!
14:16I loved all the real heroes!
14:17I loved him, because I've been wanting to have...
14:19I loved all the names of the heroes, and the great guys!
14:21I love you how you work out!
14:24I was dream of a man!
14:25I loved him, too!
14:26I looked quite a bit older and he did a lot of you.
14:28I loved his père!
14:30I love you!
14:31I loved him!
14:32He was kind of even younger!
14:34He was just a guy who came to the dragon and my dad and my dad!
14:37I loved it!
14:38He was kind of the guy whoxed the dragon and my dad!
14:39And then he became a one of his friends, I loved it!
14:41I loved him!
14:42I have never met him!
