00:00Let's go, Roger.
00:09This is Amanda.
00:10Amanda imagined me, and that's how I was born.
00:15Hello, Mom.
00:19Roger isn't actually real.
00:21Only Amanda can see him.
00:23Are you someone's friend too?
00:25You can see me?
00:27Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:30But I'm not the only invisible friend here.
00:42I officially welcome you to the town of imaginaries.
00:46Now the fun really starts.
00:50Imagination is for us imaginaries
00:53what oxygen is for humans.
00:54Welcome home.
00:56Kids grow up and lose interest in us, and we are forgotten.
01:00And that's the end of us.
01:01It is difficult to be forgotten,
01:03but it is something that will happen to us all.
01:07You're wrong.
01:08Amanda will never forget me.
01:11You imaginaries never learn.
01:17There is something that imagination can never defeat,
01:21and that is reality.
01:26Sometimes it doesn't matter if it's true or not.
01:42All that matters is the story you believe.
01:51You have no imagination.
01:54I'm just kidding.
01:55I didn't mean it.
