Mel-O-Toons presents

00:00:06.388 --> 00:00:12.818
The Enchanted Horse

00:00:21.996 --> 00:00:23.417
New Year's Day in Persia

00:00:23.517 --> 00:00:26.334
was the most celebrated day
of the year.

00:00:26.432 --> 00:00:28.449
Wonderful shows were prepared

00:00:28.451 --> 00:00:30.449
to entertain the King
and the Prince.

00:00:30.552 --> 00:00:32.823
At the end of the program,

00:00:32.922 --> 00:00:34.859
a lone figure stood before the King

00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:36.836
with a beautiful horse.

00:00:36.935 --> 00:00:38.480
Your majesty, I beg thee,

00:00:38.572 --> 00:00:40.671
look upon this wondrous animal.

00:00:40.811 --> 00:00:41.488
It is not real,

00:00:41.588 --> 00:00:43.265
but an ingenious machine

00:00:43.349 --> 00:00:45.163
that will carry me anywhere I wish

00:00:45.263 --> 00:00:47.559
just by turning a peg.

00:00:47.681 --> 00:00:50.253
If true, it is indeed a wonderful animal,

00:00:50.354 --> 00:00:51.830
what is the price?

00:00:51.931 --> 00:00:53.454
It is not for sale, Sire,

00:00:53.527 --> 00:00:54.465
but I would exchange it

00:00:54.548 --> 00:00:56.122
for a portion of your kingdom.

00:00:56.207 --> 00:00:58.239
Well, for such a trade,

00:00:58.422 --> 00:01:00.057
I must know more about this horse.

00:01:00.139 --> 00:01:01.373
My son, Prince Prama,

00:01:01.477 --> 00:01:02.932
will test the animal for me.

00:01:03.015 --> 00:01:04.929
The owner started to
show the Prince

00:01:05.012 --> 00:01:06.286
how to control the horse,

00:01:06.374 --> 00:01:08.601
but before he could tell him all,

00:01:08.605 --> 00:01:10.657
Prince Prama turned the peg,

00:01:10.742 --> 00:01:11.975
and away he flew.

00:01:12.075 --> 00:01:13.913
He doesn't know how to
bring it back!

00:01:13.997 --> 00:01:15.830
It's a trick to kidnap the Prince,

00:01:15.932 --> 00:01:17.027
throw this man in jail

00:01:17.107 --> 00:01:18.484
until my son returns.

00:01:19.283 --> 00:01:21.221
As the horses owner was taken away,

00:01:21.303 --> 00:01:23.395
the King scanned the skies

00:01:23.397 --> 00:01:24.955
for the flying prince.

00:01:24.956 --> 00:01:26.812
But he was out of sight.

00:01:26.913 --> 00:01:28.287
High above the clouds

00:01:28.291 --> 00:01:29.746
flew the enchanted horse

00:01:29.756 --> 00:01:31.302
with the frightened prince.

00:01:31.406 --> 00:01:33.359
He traveled hundreds of miles,

00:01:33.462 --> 00:01:35.716
but he couldn't control the animal.

00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:37.372
He twisted the peg,

00:01:37.374 --> 00:01:39.230
but the horse continued

00:01:39.334 --> 00:01:42.106
to fly upward and onward.

00:01:42.207 --> 00:01:44.148
At last, he found a small knob

00:01:44.222 --> 00:01:45.558
behind the animal's ear.

00:01:45.661 --> 00:01:46.795
He gave it a turn,

00:01:46.978 --> 00:01:49.352
and the enchanted horse
started to descend.

00:01:49.451 --> 00:01:51.368
As he came closer to earth,

00:01:51.487 --> 00:01:54.743
the Prince saw he was in a strange kingdom.

00:01:55.001 --> 00:01:57.298
I will be in danger if I am found,

00:01:57.401 --> 00:01:59.515
but I can't control the horse.

00:01:59.537 --> 00:02:01.630
The amazing animal carried
Prince Prama

00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:03.167
toward a palace courtyard.

00:02:03.250 --> 00:02:05.223
After I land, I'll turn the peg,

00:02:05.304 --> 00:02:07.618
and maybe it will fly away again,

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:09.978
perhaps right back to my own country.

00:02:10.059 --> 00:02:13.051
So intent was the Prince
on the controls,

00:02:13.152 --> 00:02:14.986
that he didn't watch the archway

00:02:14.990 --> 00:02:17.642
through which the horse flew.

00:02:17.723 --> 00:02:19.340
He was knocked off the horse,

00:02:19.341 --> 00:02:21.278
into a courtyard.

00:02:21.399 --> 00:02:22.255
No one saw him.

00:02:22.274 --> 00:02:23.790
And while everyone crowded

00:02:23.795 --> 00:02:25.251
about the mysterious horse,

00:02:25.353 --> 00:02:27.504
Prince Prama hid in a room.

00:02:27.509 --> 00:02:29.242
After studying the horse,

00:02:29.325 --> 00:02:31.399
the King gave out an order.

00:02:31.482 --> 00:02:33.756
This is a most unusual animal.

00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:35.332
I shall give it as a gift

00:02:35.357 --> 00:02:36.649
to Princess Serena.

00:02:36.749 --> 00:02:39.045
Perhaps then, she will be my bride.

00:02:39.146 --> 00:02:40.743
Take the animal to the stable

00:02:40.745 --> 00:02:42.140
until I'm ready to give it to her.

00:02:42.220 --> 00:02:44.536
Prince Prama could hear the King's orders,

00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:46.273
and now he realized

00:02:46.377 --> 00:02:48.509
his chance of escaping was gone.

00:02:49.107 --> 00:02:51.406
Then, he heard someone sobbing.

00:02:52.062 --> 00:02:53.341
He discovered that he was in

00:02:53.343 --> 00:02:55.178
the room of Princess Serena.

00:02:55.181 --> 00:02:57.134
She was the most beautiful girl

00:02:57.217 --> 00:02:58.692
he had ever seen.

00:02:58.713 --> 00:03:00.070
She looked up, and saw

00:03:00.151 --> 00:03:01.747
the Prince staring at her.

00:03:01.849 --> 00:03:03.064
Who are you?

00:03:03.184 --> 00:03:04.642
I'm Prince Prama.

00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:06.238
I come from far away.

00:03:06.321 --> 00:03:07.616
Don't let them know I'm here.

00:03:07.636 --> 00:03:10.192
Oh, did my father send you

00:03:10.274 --> 00:03:11.848
to rescue me from King Agmir?

00:03:11.852 --> 00:03:14.127
No, but perhaps I could help.

00:03:14.226 --> 00:03:16.075
Tell me how you came to this place.

00:03:16.532 --> 00:03:18.111
Princess Serena then told
Prince Prama

00:03:18.113 --> 00:03:19.688
the story of how she was captured

00:03:19.787 --> 00:03:21.644
by the powerful King Agmir.

00:03:21.647 --> 00:03:24.660
She must marry him
or be put to death.

00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:26.496
I have an idea.

00:03:26.601 --> 00:03:28.573
If you pretend to be ill,

00:03:28.574 --> 00:03:30.049
the King will have to postpone

00:03:30.129 --> 00:03:32.667
any decision, until you are well.

00:03:32.692 --> 00:03:34.503
I'll hide out in the city,

00:03:34.603 --> 00:03:37.158
and return when the time is right.

00:03:37.161 --> 00:03:38.895
The Princess agreed, and she acted

00:03:39.177 --> 00:03:40.990
as if she were in a trance.

00:03:40.994 --> 00:03:44.105
And soon, the whole palace
was alarmed.

00:03:44.109 --> 00:03:45.103
Word got to the King

00:03:45.185 --> 00:03:46.722
about her illness.

00:03:46.803 --> 00:03:48.820
Send for the best doctors
in the kingdom.

00:03:48.917 --> 00:03:50.395
Each doctor who came,

00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:52.212
tried to cure the young girl,

00:03:52.333 --> 00:03:54.249
and each failed.

00:03:54.308 --> 00:03:56.146
Kind Agmir sent out a call

00:03:56.246 --> 00:03:58.321
to physicians from other lands.

00:03:58.341 --> 00:04:00.018
One day, a strange doctor

00:04:00.022 --> 00:04:01.536
came to the palace.

00:04:01.635 --> 00:04:03.151
I can cure the princess,

00:04:03.156 --> 00:04:06.047
but I must attend to her alone.

00:04:06.071 --> 00:04:07.645
When the doctor was alone,

00:04:07.744 --> 00:04:09.121
in the sick girl's room,

00:04:09.124 --> 00:04:10.741
he spoke to her.

00:04:10.844 --> 00:04:12.777
Princess Serena, arise,

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:15.072
for it is time for us to leave.

00:04:15.211 --> 00:04:17.407
Prince Prama, it is you?

00:04:17.506 --> 00:04:19.364
Yes Serena, but we must

00:04:19.428 --> 00:04:21.222
play the game for a while yet.

00:04:21.225 --> 00:04:23.060
Now we will see the King.

00:04:23.437 --> 00:04:26.764
Sire, you see she is almost
cured already.

00:04:26.878 --> 00:04:28.539
Now, some special,

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.127
unusual gift from you

00:04:30.411 --> 00:04:32.562
may complete the treatment.

00:04:32.606 --> 00:04:33.699
How fortunate.

00:04:33.719 --> 00:04:36.135
I have been saving a most
unique horse

00:04:36.140 --> 00:04:37.792
to give to the Princess.

00:04:37.796 --> 00:04:38.969
So the enchanted horse

00:04:39.033 --> 00:04:41.028
was brought to the palace.

00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:42.564
It's beautiful,

00:04:42.565 --> 00:04:44.142
may I sit in the saddle?

00:04:44.244 --> 00:04:46.599
Of course my dear, It's yours.

00:04:46.756 --> 00:04:47.716
Prince Prama helped

00:04:47.799 --> 00:04:49.652
Princess Serena up on the horse.

00:04:49.753 --> 00:04:51.109
Then he turned to the king.

00:04:51.194 --> 00:04:54.044
You see Sire, she is cured.

00:04:54.177 --> 00:04:55.642
Now, for my fee.

00:04:55.682 --> 00:04:57.459
Of course, good doctor.

00:04:57.462 --> 00:04:59.097
What is your wish?

00:04:59.196 --> 00:05:01.114
I wish the Princess myself!

00:05:01.234 --> 00:05:02.710
He jumped behind Serena.

00:05:02.732 --> 00:05:04.645
Never, she is mine!

00:05:04.647 --> 00:05:06.384
Guards, seize him!

00:05:06.386 --> 00:05:08.219
But the guards gaped in wonder

00:05:08.239 --> 00:05:10.417
as the horse rose from the floor

00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:12.513
and soared away.

00:05:14.051 --> 00:05:15.667
Out over the fields and mountains,

00:05:15.747 --> 00:05:17.683
the Prince and Princess flew.

00:05:18.343 --> 00:05:19.461
After many hours,

00:05:19.544 --> 00:05:20.817
Prince Prama looked below,

00:05:20.837 --> 00:05:23.056
and saw the palace of his father.

00:05:23.159 --> 00:05:24.534
The enchanted horse

00:05:24.634 --> 00:05:26.450
had brought them home.

00:05:26.550 --> 00:05:27.347
The King was delighted

00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:28.805
to see his lost son,

00:05:28.905 --> 00:05:31.082
and welcomed the Princess.

00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:32.697
Prince Prama told his father

00:05:32.797 --> 00:05:33.995
that Serena had consented

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:35.293
to be his bride.

00:05:35.393 --> 00:05:36.690
The happy king released

00:05:36.774 --> 00:05:37.727
the owner of the horse,

00:05:37.811 --> 00:05:39.765
and granted him a part of the kingdom,

00:05:39.769 --> 00:05:42.261
in exchange for the animal.

00:05:42.364 --> 00:05:43.638
Later, when Prince Prama

00:05:43.719 --> 00:05:44.736
and Princess Serena

00:05:44.818 --> 00:05:45.455
were married,

00:05:45.538 --> 00:05:46.814
the King gave them

00:05:46.897 --> 00:05:47.832
the mechanical animal

00:05:47.835 --> 00:05:49.548
as a wedding gift.

00:05:49.630 --> 00:05:51.226
The young people rode away,

00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:54.041
to have many more wonderful adventures

00:05:54.164 --> 00:05:58.114
with the enchanted horse.

00:06:05.401 --> 00:06:09.954
