00:30During his long winter sleep, Moomin had a dream.
00:42And strangely enough, he dreamt that he was sleeping.
00:46Moomin! Moomin! Moomin!
00:50Huh?
00:56Felicia! Felicia!
00:59Wow! You can fly on the broomstick now!
01:02That's right! I'm a fully-fledged witch now, Moomin!
01:06Wait! Give me a ride, Alicia!
01:09Can't do that!
01:10Oh, don't be mean, Alicia!
01:12Because someone's already riding with me! Oops!
01:15And it's me! Little boy!
01:18Would you mind if we went a little higher, Alicia?
01:21Sure!
01:22Oh, wow! Higher, Alicia! Higher! Keep on going!
01:29Please listen! Come back, please! Give me a ride next!
01:48Oh, thank you, Moomin!
01:52Will you give me a ride now?
01:54Come on, now!
02:12Moomin Valley's really beautiful from up here!
02:15Yes, lovely!
02:18Oh, Alicia, be careful! Don't do things like that!
02:21What are you talking about? We're not doing anything, Moomin!
02:24Oh, Little My! It's you again!
02:26No wonder the broom is shaking so much!
02:29How do you like it? I'm pretty good at this, aren't I?
02:33Where did you get this broom from, Little My?
02:35I borrowed it from the witch!
02:37Borrowed it?
02:38For a while.
02:39That's the witch, isn't it?
02:41Looks like it.
02:42Maybe we better get out of here!
02:44You're right.
02:45Stop! You two little thieves! Give me back my broom at once!
02:49No!
02:50You have your own broom! You witches should learn how to share!
02:53But this other one is just a spare!
02:56I want my real broom back right now!
02:58Finders keepers, it's my broom!
03:00Call it a broom?
03:01Why don't you take a closer look at it?
03:04That's not a broom.
03:05What do you mean, this is not a broom?
03:08Whoa!
03:17Little My! Hey!
03:19Moomin!
03:20You alright, Little My?
03:22Little My isn't here, Moomin.
03:24Oh, I must have been dreaming.
03:27You were yelling out loud.
03:29Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up, Snorkmaiden.
03:38Can you see anything?
03:40Only snow.
03:41Everything's so light.
03:43Yes, the moon is up.
03:44Oh, what an eerie light.
03:46Yes.
03:47Spring hasn't arrived yet, has it?
03:49Not yet.
03:50Everybody else is still asleep, then?
03:52Yes, most of them anyway.
03:54Wonder if my brother's still up.
03:56Well, he did say, before we started hibernating,
03:59he wanted to finish his blueprints before spring,
04:01if he could.
04:02Oh, I see.
04:04He did say, before we started hibernating,
04:06he wanted to finish his blueprints before spring,
04:08if he could.
04:09I hope he'll succeed this time.
04:11Wanna go out?
04:13Huh?
04:14Outside, just to see what the snow looks like.
04:17Oh, no.
04:18I don't really feel like it.
04:20It's nice and warm here.
04:21Why don't we sleep till spring, like the others?
04:25Spring is still a long way off.
04:29I guess you're right.
04:31It's nice and warm in here.
04:48It's delicious.
04:50Chocolate cake's my favorite.
04:53Did you say something, Snorkmaiden?
04:56I'm so very hungry, Moomin.
05:02Mm-hmm.
05:04Your mother's raspberry juice is really the best.
05:07It is, isn't it?
05:08Everybody said that last winter, too.
05:10Hey, Moomin.
05:11Yeah?
05:12I have a funny feeling someone is watching us,
05:14and I don't like it one little bit.
05:17Moominpappa could explain it, I'm sure.
05:19Of course someone's watching.
05:20What? But who? And how do you know?
05:23Toothpicky told me all about it last winter, Snorkmaiden.
05:26She doesn't hibernate, you know.
05:28She stays in our bathhouse and watches overs in the winter.
05:31She said that many things are too shy to show themselves.
05:35Oh, have you seen them yourself?
05:37Sort of.
05:38Except they were invisible, of course.
05:41Like under the sink.
05:43Or in the clock, maybe.
05:45In the empty fireplace and other dark corners of the room,
05:48I can feel it.
05:50Did you actually look anywhere for them?
05:52Oh, no. They'd be very upset.
05:54It's better not to let them know we know where they are.
05:57I wonder what these things look like.
05:59Some of them look very much like us, Toothpicky said.
06:01Old ancestors of ours from way back, she thinks.
06:04Some of them look like us, she said?
06:06Well, I've never seen them for myself.
06:08I wonder if they're as good-looking as we are.
06:16Wouldn't it be a good idea to stay up and wait for the sunrise?
06:20A great idea!
06:27Now, don't say anything to scare them,
06:29but this is one of the Moomin's ancestors from way back.
06:35Is it morning already? Are you sure?
06:38I think so.
06:39There are no clouds, so why can't we see the sun?
06:42I guess maybe the sun doesn't come up at all this time of the year.
06:46Moomin, I don't like this. I don't like it one little bit.
06:51You silly little girl. What do you need this for?
06:54Please, Grandma, I won't be long, I promise.
06:57What are you talking about? As if you could fly a broom.
07:00Give that back to me at once.
07:02No, I won't give it back.
07:04Now give me back that broom and don't be silly.
07:06How many times must I tell you, you can't go visiting Moomin Valley.
07:10But it's so boring here. I want some company, Grandma.
07:14Come on, broom, fly off.
07:16Take me to Moomin Valley.
07:19Help me up, Grandma, please.
07:24All right, my girl, I'll help you up, shall I?
07:32I don't believe it. I'm floating.
07:37Oh, how fun. This is great.
07:40Wait. Oh, I'm falling.
07:49How about that, Alicia? Don't you find it boring around here?
07:56To bury things a bit, how about this?
07:59Oh, no, stop the broom, Grandma, please.
08:03Come on, you wanted to ride on the broom, didn't you, your first solo flight?
08:07Well, here it is.
08:11Grandma, please stop.
08:19If you want to learn to fly on this broom, Alicia,
08:22then forget all about those dratted Moomins and really start studying.
08:26It's hard work, you know, young woman. You must learn to concentrate.
08:36Hey, you up there, are you making fun of me, too?
08:40Oh, I can't climb down that.
08:42Of course you can. Even if you fall, you can't hurt yourself on this soft snow.
08:47Don't shake the ladder, Moomin. This is scary.
08:51Slowly does it. Take it easy and don't look down.
08:54Maybe going out wasn't such a good idea after all.
08:57We could always change our minds and go back to sleep, you know.
09:00See, you've made it.
09:02It's very cold over here.
09:05This is the roof over the front door, isn't it?
09:07Yes, and everything will be snowed up now till spring.
09:10Oh, no. What's happened to our firewood?
09:18What's the matter?
09:20There's not much wood left in here.
09:22Someone else must be burning it.
09:24Yes.
09:26I think it's time for us to go back to sleep.
09:29What's the matter?
09:31There's not much wood left in here.
09:33Someone else must be burning it.
09:35Yes. But who and for what, I wonder?
09:38I can feel it. We're not alone in this forest.
09:41I'm sure someone's watching us.
09:43All those winter creatures.
09:45No, I don't think it's them.
09:51The Groke.
09:54Goodness me, look how big she gets in the wintertime.
09:58Moomin, I'm scared.
10:01It'll be all right.
10:03Groke, stop. Right there.
10:08Don't come any closer, if you please.
10:10You're much, much too cold for us, you see.
10:13You could freeze us stiff, you know.
10:17Oh, is it possible that you get lonely all by yourself?
10:24I don't think there's anything we can do to help, you know.
10:27Not without fur coats and earmuffs and warm gloves, anyway.
10:31We must go.
10:49Someone's been stealing our firewood.
10:51I wonder what they're doing with it.
10:53Something bad, there's no doubt about that.
10:55Must have been several people did this.
11:15We had a lot of fun here in the summer, remember?
11:19Well, the sea is still here under the ice, I hope.
11:23Tooticky!
11:25Tooticky!
11:28There's no one here.
11:29Are you sure?
11:30Look for yourself.
11:34I know they're invisible, but are the Shroomice in here?
11:37Hard to tell, with things you can't see.
11:41Oh!
11:42What is it?
11:43It felt like something's scampering on my back.
11:46That's all right, it must be one of the Shroomice.
11:53Merman! Merman!
11:58Oh, where could he have gone?
12:01My goodness, I've never seen anything quite like this before.
12:05Hi, it's good to see you.
12:07You're right, she's fishing.
12:09Hi, Tooticky!
12:10Hello, Tooticky!
12:12So this winter's not made in woke up too, huh?
12:15I woke her up by mistake.
12:17You know that spring is still a long way off, don't you?
12:20I thought it must be, seeing there's no sun at all.
12:23But the sun is gonna come back tomorrow, Moomin.
12:26Tomorrow?
12:27Snorkmaiden was so worried about the sun not showing.
12:31The sun will rise tomorrow, Moomin, but it'll go down very soon.
12:35Tooticky, you know, I think there must be wreckers in Moomin Valley.
12:39Wreckers in winter?
12:40There's an enormous pile of firewood up on the hillside.
12:44I know, it took a long time to collect that wood.
12:47But some of it belongs to us.
12:49That doesn't really surprise me though, Moomin.
12:52I'm afraid the winter creatures aren't very careful about ownership.
12:56They need a lot, so if they see it, they take it.
12:59It's for their big winter bonfire.
13:01A bonfire?
13:02Yes, and now your firewood can take part in the big celebration.
13:06They light it every winter to make sure the sun comes back, you know.
13:11Oh, you mean otherwise the sun wouldn't come back, Tooticky?
13:14Well, since they always light it on this day, you don't really know, do you?
13:19Tonight you might see the winter creatures.
13:21Oh, can we come along as well, Tooticky?
13:24Yes, you can, if you sit quietly and don't scare them in any way.
13:28Wonderful, you're coming along too, aren't you?
13:30Of course!
13:32Stop! Help me!
13:34Someone's shouting for help?
13:36Who could it be?
13:37Go away! Get away from me!
13:40I didn't do it on purpose! I didn't mean any harm!
13:43If you don't leave me alone, Grandma will turn you into a toad!
13:47Oh, it's so cold! Go away, please!
13:58Groke, leave her alone!
14:00What are you doing, Groke?
14:04Moomin!
14:05Alicia!
14:07Now listen, Groke, why can't you be nice to her? Alicia's one of my friends!
14:11She was just standing there looking at nothing when I came down on my skis.
14:15I nearly bumped into her, but I didn't touch her.
14:17That's all right, Alicia. Tell me, Groke, what's gotten into you?
14:21Why are you so nasty to such a sweet little girl? It isn't like you at all.
14:26I must have startled her, I guess. And I did apologize and all, but it made no difference.
14:31This is really very odd.
14:33Then I asked if she had seen you, and that's when she started to get mad at me.
14:37But she doesn't even know me.
14:39It's a mystery. Whatever's the matter with you, Groke?
14:57Oh, I was so scared.
14:59I'm so glad you've come to see us.
15:01So am I, Moomin. Somehow I felt certain you hadn't gone into hibernation yet.
15:06But what did your grandmother say?
15:08Nothing, because I didn't tell her I was coming.
15:11Thank you for chasing off that terrible monster.
15:14The Groke hasn't actually ever attacked anyone.
15:17Well, maybe she doesn't like the look of Alicia.
15:19Snark maiden.
15:21It's really a mystery to me why the Groke was here at all.
15:25She was here looking for Moomin, no doubt.
15:27Was she?
15:28He's suddenly become very popular.
15:32You don't mean...
15:48What's the matter with you?
15:49I think the Groke may have fallen in love with you, Moomin.
15:52What?
15:54Oh, you can't mean that.
15:56Please tell me you're not serious.
15:58It's out of the question.
16:00It's a ridiculous idea. Don't be so silly.
16:21Where's all that drumming noise coming from?
16:23From the invisible Shroomice.
16:26How long before everybody arrives?
16:28Oh, they're here already, Moomin. All around us.
16:31They are? Where? I can't see them.
16:34Are they really invisible?
16:37I can't see them either, but I can feel their presence all around me.
16:41But she's been studying witchcraft, hasn't she?
16:45I'm sure you and Moomin will be able to feel their presence quite soon.
16:53Let's go.
17:23Oh, I can see some of them. Look, they're over there.
17:47I think I see them too, you guys.
17:54Dootiki, tell me, why can't we see all of them?
17:58Well, we can never see them all.
18:00I don't understand. How did you know earlier on the Shroomice were playing the drums?
18:05I just know because they sometimes play them in the Batch House as well.
18:08What a wonderful celebration.
18:10Isn't it lucky I came over here?
18:12If I hadn't, I'd have missed a most memorable evening.
18:24What's going on here?
18:26The Groke.
18:28What?
18:32What's she doing here?
18:35She must be looking for Moomin again, I guess.
18:38No, I think she just wants to warm herself by the fire.
18:42Oh, what's she doing?
19:13Well, that's the end of the Midwinter Bonfire.
19:17Poor Groke, she freezes everything she touches.
19:20Whatever she sits on, even the hottest bonfire, turns freezing cold in a matter of seconds.
19:26Well, at least she's managed to save some of our wood.
19:31Oh, no.
19:39Hold on tight now, Snorkmaiden, and be careful.
19:42I can't wait to get into bed.
19:45I wanted to stay up until the sun came up again, but I don't know if I could keep awake till then.
19:52So long till spring then, Moomin.
19:55Goodbye.
19:57And take care, Alicia.
19:59I will, Moomin. The moon will light my way back.
20:21This time the Moomins have gone too far. Something must be done.
20:24I'll teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
20:28They won't get the better of me.
20:32Now, what does the witch mean by teach them a lesson?
20:36That sounds very ominous.
20:39Let's hope at least that she lets them sleep till next spring.
