CJMONSTERNATOR Titles
Sleep, sleep, baby, sleep,
The baby will fall asleep soon,
Sleep, sleep, baby, sleep,
The baby will fall asleep soon.
The pillars are made of a different wood to the bed posts.
They need a stronger type of wood;
a finer, denser wood.
They're made of the wood of yew trees.
The trees from the cemetry? Yes. Such magnificent trees.
Very interesting. They have deadly, poisonous thorns.
They have sturdy, durable wood that allows the manafacture of fine furniture.
Without a yew tree, there's no spindle, and without a spindle-
We lost track of time.
Like the scatterbrains you are.
I'll leave you to make your gifts. I've made mine.
The princess will die at sixteen
by stabbing her hand with the spindle of a yew tree.
We mustn't worry the princess.
You've got to fix this. You've got more experience than us.
Carabosse is a very powerful witch I can't fight against her.
But you keep trying to impress us With all your experience.
I've got more than you.
Let me concentrate.
I can't change destiny. What a show off...
Be quiet!
The princess won't die.
She'll simply fall asleep.
This sleep will last a hundred years. A hundred years? What a pain. Why not two thousand?
Oh, go away!
We're late because of you!
True...
But I can say that the princess
wil be able to bunk off school
and live a life of dreams.
I say that she'll stab her hand at six
and she'll wake up at sixteen.
Why?
Because...childhood never ends.
Have a happy, pleasant sleep, Anastasia.
Six years later
Do you remember how angry you were
when you found out I was pregnant?
And here you are doting over your little girl.
You weren't like that with me.
You were a lot less wise.
I am Sir Vladimir
Anastasia, you must soon realise that you're not a boy.
Yes I am! I am Sir Vladimir!
Unfortunately, Anastasia, nature decided otherwise.
I'm a princess so it's me who decides!
No.
Anastasia, what have you done to us now?
You're going to make me die!
Have you seen the state of your dress?
It's ruined!
Dresses are silly. I won't wear them anymore.
But this one really suits you, darling.
I'm not a darling. That's silly.
I'm a knight.
OK, I'm going to get some bandages.
You should’ve thought about it before. Now I have to disinfect it.
It’s not even that bad. Knights don’t feel pain.
But it’s a task that lets us reach adulthood safely.
My brave soldiers.
My army against sleep.
Attention! I’m the general in charge!
So...
Apart from my alarm clocks, I love my dictionaries above all else.
Their words tell me stories better than books do.
No, not stories; they tell me the sense of things.
Everything’s always written down.
Each word is like a tarot card, which reveals its own destiny.
Ewe.
A noun.
An old female sheep.
Like me! I'm a ewe!
Hermaphrodite.
A noun and an adjective.
Of herm-aph-ro-dite.
It says it's neutral.
A term that reunites the characteristics of both sexes.
The leech is a hermaphrodite.
In zoology,
this term is used for beings with male genitals and
female genitals as well.
Also the beings that...
We must mobilise our powers.
Supposing that we still have any. Are you trying to dampen our spirits?
Believe in my experience. If she must sleep for a hundred years,
it's high time that she sleeps it all at once.
That's easy to say grandmother, but our god-daughter doesn't live in a castle of legend.
Things have changed since ancient times.
Someone who sleeps for a hundred years these days won't go unnoticed.
But you can no longer make the whole world fall asleep.
Then we'll be a lot more discreet this time.
The poor thing, if she wakes up alone in a hundred years, without knowing what's happened-
Dying of fear? We must warn her.
That's cruel. She won't be able to deal with knowing.
You really don't understand humans.
They all know they're going to die, but they all live without worrying about this.
They happily lose their time.
No, they lose their time? Of course they do.
It's actually their favourite hobby.
Miss Anastasia!
You'll end up waking the dead!
And in your family there's many who don't want to wake up!
It's not fair!
If I'm a princess in order to do what I like,
then there's no point!
Do I really have to die?
You're going to sleep. It's no big deal.
But a hundred years is going to be very very boring if you don't keep your promise.
You've got the key, you'll get out.
I'm going to start shivering now.
It's crazy that time sometimes passes so slowly.
The three or four days before the presentation
seemed never-ending.
I couldn't wait for the wrong outcome to occur
and to change my life.
Because the life of a little girl
is actually very annoying.
In fine step, the Japanese people,
walk in rhythmn,
into the flowery meadows,
It's no longer winter,
the dawning of ember,
with the pink and blue due,
first here, then there,
as the sun rises through the clouds,
In fine step, the Japanese people,
walk in rhythmn,
into the flowery meadows,
Go, enter the scene!
I don't want to, it's a girls show! Do it for your grandmother.
But there's no point as daddy's not here!
Go away you monster!
We're going to have a little chat.
I don't speak to monsters covered in boils.
I'm your own monster.
I'm going to give you a chance.
If you manage to knock over the tibias,
if you make it,
you're free.
You will end up like the others.
Decapitated.
Delightfully rotting.
Pass that to me.
If your heart tells you to.
I am real, everything's fake.
I want to finish these with you.
You're not too fat. You'll make a good starter.
That's impossible.
Twice in a row!
Yes!
You still don't exist though!
It's started to get icy.
Are you from the living world?
Mum, is this the little sister you promised me?
This is...
This is a real little girl of flesh and bones.
I'm cold.
Do you want this?
You poor little thing.
There we go.
Nice and clean.
We could throw all this away.
You look just like a little boy!
If I expected that a little girl would come to me out of nowhere...
It really suits me!
Even if I'm taller then you, we'll be good friends.
Stop, no, no!
No, don't annoy her, Peter!
OK, OK, make her turn.
That's OK!
That's not nice.
That's very naughty.
You'll see. In spring we'll have roses of all colours.
You're hurting them.
If I don't, there'll be no roses.
This way, they'll be beautiful for all eternity.
Eternity doesn't exist.
You see that?
They're called eyes.
I'll only leave about three or five.
And from each eye, a new stem forcefully emerges.
Yes, but when you cut off an oak tree's head, it's never the same.
Because those are trees.
And it's ugly and pretentious to constrain trees.
But here, the more you cut, the more they grow.
Because it's bramble.
Do you believe me? I believe you, as you can't be naughty.
Look at this.
It's the queen.
The others feed from her royal honey, so she can't move.
She's the prisoner of her job.
I'm scared. I don't want to be like her.
No, that won't happen to you, don't cry.
You're not a bee.
I don't ever want to be burried without having moved.
Don't cry. I'm here.
Nothing will ever happen to you.
I'll protect you. Do you promise?
It's too beautiful. It's like the rain of edelweiss.
These are the white bees.
Do they also have a queen? Certainly.
She's the most beautiful and most glacial of them all.
She's the ice queen.
She can't be caught. She never settles down.
She's on the ground and all of a sudden, up she goes!
Then she leaves to hide in the dark clouds.
During the winter nights, it's her who wanders the towns' streets.
And her icy look covers all the tiny icy flowers.
It would be wonderful to watch.
Don't ever say that.
Wherever she looks,
things become bleak and icy.
Come on. Time for bed.
I hate this snow queen.
Is she comes,
I'll put her on a burning stove and she'll melt.
You're strange.
I'd love to see her.
I'm sure she's marvellous.
Don't you realise? There'd always be snow there.
You're making me cold!
I saw her. I saw the Snow Queen.
Firstly, she doesn't exist. I swear I saw her.
She looked me in the eyes.
I felt a piece of glass piercing my heart.
Go to sleep.
Why are you crying? You idiot!
Dry these tears. They make you look awful.
Anyway, I'm no longer in pain.
The only thing that pains me is how ugly and shruken things are here.
And you. You're ugly and thin like a rat.
You should see, my poor girl,
how we somehow endure living with you.
You're a scrawny, idiotic dwarf. What a present!
What's happened Peter? I don't like you like this.
You need to say sorry right now.
Sorry for what?
Do you think it's a good life for a boy of my age to be locked up with his mother and...
and this boring rat?
I'm sure this is from what's in your eye.
Let me see.
Whatever's in your eye is stopping you from seeing the pretty things in life.
Let me see.
Lower your head.
I don't see anything. No, nothing.
Of course not, moron. Earlier I was in pain.
And now I'm perfectly fine.
And I'm very happy with my new view of life.
Oh Peter, do you think you're big and clever?
Do you know what's happened to you?
You're at the ungrateful age, my boy.
Peter. What now?
You've never spoken to me badly like you have today.
Well I'd better start now.
Tell me why.
Why has this happened to you?
I don't know.
Maybe...
Nothing's stable in life.
And stability is boring.
Boredom.
You don't want to know how it imprisons me.
I feel it like an ongoing sin.
Is this any life in this strict house?
To only have my mother and...
You're nice and blissfully amazed by everything,
as if being blissful led to happiness.
Weren't we happy?
We were.
But I'm not happy anymore.
I want to live.
And I know that what you call happiness stops me from living.
Puberty.
A set of psychological and physical changes
which are produced during the appearance of an adult's sexual characteristics.
It's shown in the definition.
Where are you going? Where I want to.
You were brave. We went well together.
I am the Snow Queen.
You're completely frozen.
You'd feel better underneath my coat.
Is that better?
My sledge...where's my sledge?
Behind you.
Your childhood's behind you.
Now I'm not going to kiss you anymore, as one more kiss would lead to your death.
You're a cocky young man, you're lucky
that I want to spare you.
Who are you?
Ghost train 1724 shouldn't stop.
You shouldn't have got off here.
Now you're really in trouble.
We don't let tramps in the kingdom.
But, it's not my fault.
They dropped me here. I didn't ask them to.
If I'm barefoot, it's because...
I left to look for a friend.
Nobody ever gets off here.
We put out statues
to discourage any intrusion,
so we hope that there's no invasions that could cause trouble.
So obviously, we're obliged to tidy them up
so they don't blow away.
Excuse me, I have to work.
This is a very peaceful country
that doesn't tolerate foreign visitors.
I'd advise you to leave.
What would I give to have a puppet like you?
You!
I'm closing the station.
You can't stay.
Anyway, night time is dangerous.
Where can I sleep? Is there a hotel?
Are you dumb?
I told you that we didn't tolerate foreigners.
But what's going to become of me? I'd love to go somewhere else.
I waited to get a train, but none stopped.
I could take you to prison.
But it's full.
Our princes are very cruel.
What did you come to do in this country?
It's because of my friend, Peter.
An amazing boy who's a lot lot taller than you.
Be careful.
This is not a good country to stand out in.
He's been missing for six months.
He's taller than me.
His eyes shine like lightning.
He's very strong.
He's the cleverest person I've ever met.
He can calculate fractions and square roots.
Maybe...
Maybe I've seen him.
Thank you, thank you, that's the best news ever!
Calm down, come to your senses!
This is not the place to stand out!
Don't make me say what I haven't said.
I said that the one you're looking for could be who I'm thinking of.
Maybe, maybe not.
I said nothing else.
Follow this tunnel.
The one you're looking for's waiting for you there.
Decide soon, I haven't got long!
You're going to be late.
Be careful not to annoy the queen; she's very short-tempered.
I don't know if I should've let you in.
Hide in here.
Whatever you do, don't move before the twelve strokes of midnight. OK?
I prefer the armour.
No don't argue. Come on!
I'll come and get you later this evening.
And be careful. You must not stand out.
'Be careful. You must not stand out.'
Fortunately as I liked the sound of alarm clocks,
and as I really missed the tic-tocs of my own,
I was very spoilt.
I needed to count 2,000,550 tic-tocs
and hear the hour chime and the half hour chime seven times each
before someone came to let me out of here.
Come on, I'll show you the way.
Don't be scared.
We shouldn't run into anyone.
Be careful.
You must not stand out.
'Be careful, you must not stand out.'
They always say that in this country.
Have you seen their dreams?
They go by too quickly.
Yes, one needs a certain experience.
They dream that they're alone in a world of precious pearls and gold
and that it'll be like this for all eternity.
They dream of the same thing each night.
Of course. Peter always likes to make the same drawings and have the same dreams.
Right I stop here, young lady.
If you think of honour and dignity,
we hope that you'll remember us.
Yes.
But if it goes wrong,
I don't know you. You've never seen me.
You understand?
You need to be very careful.
You must not stand out.
Don't worry.
A brother can't not remember his sister.
Peter.
Peter, it's me.
Peter, wake up.
Guard! Guard!
Grab her!
Are we going to cut off her head like it's our right?
Mercy!
My dear, you needed to be careful and to not stand out.
Ah, you seem less proud now.
You're guily of the crime of treason.
Let her go.
You can see she's just a child.
Yes, she is one of the tall ones, but she's still just a child.
Do you understand that you've taken a very big risk by breaking into my bedroom?
If I'm going to let you live,
you have to tell me everything.
You must tell me the whole truth.
Would you rather we cut off your head?
But I told the truth.
I heard so many good things about the prince,
that I thought he could only be my friend, Peter.
How could I think it was not him?
So I went to look for him.
Peter, he's exactly the same.
The best qualities in the world.
You're right. My prince is marvelous.
Like Peter. But you're lucky, as you found him.
But I'll never find Peter again.
What time is it?
Oh it's so nice! I love watches and alarm clocks!
I'll give it to you.
Oh, thank you, thank you!
I'm embarassed, Your Highness.
But I'm really happy!
I made you take some sweets.
Goodbye.
Don't worry. You'll find Peter.
But it's been such a long time since I lost him.
Patience. Time will go by very slowly as you're very young.
But I'm a lot older than you.
And you're lucky.
Don't say that. Time goes quickly enough.
And you'll realise soon enough.
Goodbye Your Highness. Goodbye Your Majesty.
Goodbye.
Her flesh must be tender.
Let her go! Let her go!
She's mine! Let her go!
They won't kill you.
As long as I don't get angry with you.
But if I get angry with you,
I'll kill you myself.
You're obviously a princess.
No.
I told her my whole story.
And she found that some very strange things had happened to me.
and she, who was older than me,
had had nothing happen to her at all.
This is granny. She's an old shrew.
What?
In the past it was her who led the men to attack.
And now, she's old!
She's useless!
Oh you're so funny, aren't you?
I've got 24 of them.
Hug him!
Don't be scared.
They're all indoor pigeons.
It's them who are scared of us.
The other way round.
This one, you always need to keep your eye on her.
If you don't, she disappears.
She's quick!
No chance of catching her.
In the evening, I enjoy tickling her neck.
So that she knows why to come back.
Isn't that nice?
That's nice, isn't it?
I'm in charge.
Come on. Let's go to bed.
So you don't hold your knife whilst you sleep?
I do. I always sleep with it.
You never know.
Are you scared that I'll do to you what I did with the deer? I know very well that you'll do it.
But I'm not scared.
You know that it's a real knife?
If I press a little harder, your blood will squirt out.
You don't know how much I want to do that.
I know that if I do it then I'll have slit your throat.
I don't want to.
But I'm itching to.
You're not scared?
Of me?
You're mad. Don't ever trust me.
I'm not nasty.
But I get excited.
Sometimes, I can no longer control myself.
You're brave. For a kid.
It was the princess who gave them to me. So you've met princes and princesses?
What do you think?
The elite are pretty nice.
You have to be important to meet the Queen of England.
You speak in your sleep. You're hilarious!
It's a type of dream. But it's not that weird.
Do you really want to find your friend Peter? I'd sacrifice my life to find him.
Don't say that. Life's too precious.
I think he must be in Lapland.
I don't see where else he could be.
But if you swear that you'll come back to be a prisoner.
You have to swear. I swear.
Wow, there's so much!
Tasty, isn't it? Yeah, but it sticks to your teeth!
All the men have gone. Only my grandmother's here.
She just won't go. She's too tough.
But she's fond of a good drink- What the fuck am I doing in here?!
Help! Get me out of here! Who put me here?!
You little thieves! Stay there!
Who are you thieves?!
I would've liked to keep her.
But I'm going to free you and let you leave.
You need to go back to Lapland.
I don't want to go anymore.
Eat this, my doe.
Maybe I'll have already died of the cold before the end.
You took your time getting here!
I know that you're very skilled.
You can tie all the world's winds together with a piece of string.
If you untie the first knot, then there's a strong wind.
Untie the second, and the boat quickly chops the waves.
But untie the third,
and the fourth,
then a storm arises,
that would knock forests to the ground.
And you know how to make a potion
that gives the strength of twelve men.
Not so fast, my young friend.
I only do what is fair
and what I need to do.
Help me rescue Peter from the grip of the evil Snow Queen.
Sh!
Ah OK.
Let me think about it.
But this isn't going to be easy. No, no, no.
It's not easy.
May the creeping dragon
bite the tail of the winged dragon.
May the winged dragon
swallow the tail of the creeping dragon.
May the creeping dragon
absorb the winged dragon.
And may come
The Ouroborus!
Is that the Ouroborus?
This book of spells has just confirmed to me
Your friend is being held prisoner at the Snow Queen's palace.
But he's very happy.
And he thinks he's in one of the best places in the world.
Hasn't he made a mistake? Yes, he has.
But he's happy.
The Snow Queen will keep hold of
all her empire through him.
And can't you make a potion
that gives you the power to break her charm?
I can't give you a power
that's stronger than what you already have.
Don't you see that
animals and people are forced to serve you?
You left barefoot and with no difficulty you have
travelled across half the universe.
It's not from me that you can
obtain any more power.
Oh, no.
The deer will drop you ten leagues from here.
In front of a red fruit grove in the middle of the snow.
Be careful.
He'll come back to you when you're there.
No.
Mother told me it was forbidden.
Don't eat fruit that you don't know.
Especially red berries. They could be poisonous.
And you risk dying afterwards.
But I'm not risking anything. I'm dreaming.
Yes. I risk dying whilst sleeping.
No, no. I'm too young to die.
Yes, so if you die in your sleep, you must wake up.
What are you doing here?
I'd like you to leave.
First explain to me what you're doing here in that old-fashioned dress. I'm at home.
And you're dressed strangely.
You look a lot like Peter.
Yes, you really look like him.
My great-grandfather was called Peter.
My name's Johan.
I'm Anastasia.
I know it's a high and mighty name. My grandmother was like that.
I can't remember why.
So you see I wasn't lying.
That's my grandmother.
But stay quiet. Don't wake her.
Old people are very boring.
As for the little brats,
They're silly, bland
and pretentious.
I hated girls.
Who are you?
Peter's lover.
And you're not Peter.
But I won't be beaten by change.
You shouldn't have done that! I'm a lot younger than you!
How old are you?
Sixteen.
My mother had me at fifteen.
And my father was the horsekeeper.
He was very handsome.
However, you are too.
But things aren't the same with you.
I'll hide my youth.
Because you're far too old for me.
I'm eighteen.
You've got a funny view of the world.
That's how I am.
It's all or nothing.
Then it's nothing.
No more than seven today.
One.
Three.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
You're cheating.
That's enough for today.
You seem to want it. No, I don't want it.
Do you know the name for a girl like you?
A temptress.
You're smarter than I thought.
No.
I like to flirt with you.
But I'm not sure if you like me.
It's too early.
What did you do yesterday?
I went to school.
Fifteen?
Don't cheat.
A corset.
What are you like?
A woman.
Finally a little girl.
Your skin is soft.
How do you put up with these horrible pearls?
To be beautiful, you have to suffer.
But there are beautiful women who don't suffer and are still beautiful.
More beautiful than me?
Are you jealous?
What does 'being jealous' mean?
Fear that I prefer someone else to you.
That's not possible. Yes, it is possible.
You make me perish with this dress.
Look, it's arousing. Arousing?
It's a turn-on. You're a turn-on.
And you're silly to take yourself for a princess.
I am a princess.
Nobody disobeys me and nobody dares to contradict me.
I understood.
You're not sixteen. Yes I am!
I'll come back when you're older.
Be careful.
Maybe you'll be too old.
And maybe I'll no longer love you.
He's pretty.
But I wonder if he was really worth
running to the edge of the world for.
Oh you look so beautiful and I've missed you so much!
You could've stayed with me.
Yes, but- I know.
You love him.
And if you love him, you have to be strong.
You should never tell a boy that you love him.
I told him that I'd risk no longer being in love with him. That's better.
There. He stopped there.
But I can go a lot further.
Because I'm a girl.
Girls, they're where we learn love from. Really?
Boys are often too clumsy. Or too hurried.
And if they're a bit cleverer, they're scared of virgins.
Have you already had a boy?
Men!
All of which I liked.
About the robbers, I won't talk about them too much.
But it's them who make you worry and feel remorse as you're too young for it!
I had sex for the first time at thirteen.
If I knew I could've had sex at twelve, then I would've done it!
I've got the devil in my body!
How many have you had?
I've stopped counting.
What's even the point?
There's those who count and those who don't.
But, also the one who doesn't count anymore.
Who is it?
Someone I loved very much, but then we broke up.
Does that exist? Breaking up from someone you've loved very much?
Always.
In the end, you sometimes find each other again.
Look at you and me.
I think I still prefer women to men.
They're more mysterious.
Especially a lovely little girl who doesn't know what to do.
Let me lead.
With a girl, it doesn't count.
Tell me I'm your friend.
Not your girlfriend.
I'm more than that.
You're the first girl that I've loved.
I only wanted to be a boy before.
I hated girls.
I wanted my mother to call me Vladimir.
Also I never would've wanted to have breasts.
Now I just want bigger ones.
We were naughty when we were younger.
But you had guts.
I didn't manage to scare you.
And the knife?
The dagger? Yes.
I loved it.
I was so scared and that's what I loved.
Everyone always treated my like I was made of glass.
Wait.
Look.
I've got your watch.
I'd stolen it off you.
I always had it on me.
I thought I'd lost it.
You didn't notice anything.
You were so spoilt.
You were such a thief. It wasn't thieving.
Pincher! Posh girl!
Johan, where are you going? This is the third time.
You keep leaving and going off.
You need to stop this now, Johan.
I've already spoken to you about this. We spoke about this.
Mum. I'm seventeen.
This year's easy. I'll pass AS-levels with no problem!
I need to make the most of it, then I can take a breather. Yes, but these exams are important for next year.
What did I just tell you? It's my last year of childhood. I can have fun.
After that, don't worry. I'll go to boarding school.
And there's never time to do anything else there.
OK, but promise me you won't be back too late.
And don't drink too much alcohol, I mean- Oh I'm not going out, just to the studio with Paul and his girlfriend.
Well if it's Paul, then OK.
But don't get back too late.
Love you.
I want to leave. And if I stopped you?
You know I could hurt you?
You know I could kill you?
No!
It would be a shame. For who?
My daughter.
I haven't come for four days, but I didn't forget you.
You're lying.
You're lying! You're lying!
You're going to be cold. I'm cold. On purpose.
Stop it!
I feel helpless when with you. I don't know what to do.
Neither do I!
Whilst you weren't here,
I love you.
Our situation scares me.
Why?
Because we're both too young.
It shouldn't be so strong.
So set in stone.
Promise me that I'm your first and last.
You're Peter's spirit.
The first and the last.
What's this story about Peter?
My rock. Since I was little.
It's you who I was looking for in the nightmare of my childhood.
What are you talking about?
The truth about little girls.
Don't be jealous.
Take me into your world.
Impossible.
It's not made for you.
It'd wither you away.
It would take your immortality.
Just mine. Not ours. Ours as well.
Anastasia.
Do you want me to go?
Anastasia?
What, you're not going to talk to me?
I don't know you.
I thought I'd gone mad when I couldn't find you anymore. Do you realise what you did to me?
I did to you what you did to me.
You kept saying we were too young.
I want this baby. It's mine.
I'm going to call him Vladimir.
It's what I called myself when I was little.
You're mad. You could've asked me!
You told me to be reasonable. I was in my own way!
Stop it! You're hurting me!
You had no right! No right to disappear like that!
Do you still love me like before?
Just like before.
Except this is afterwards.
You see that I went all alone into your world.
