THE AURORA SHOW:
To the north, upon a plain, not so big,
there is a giant projector.
It's a planetarium that projects
the stars in the nightly sky
Operators come and go...
while the machine survives the ages.
It may seem a romantic job
but in fact it's quite though.
The operator is permanently busy
fixing the machine
During daytime the operator drinks coffee,
at a nearby cafeteria.
It's his only hobby
It may not be great coffee,
but because he can always sit there
on his own, it gives him time to rest.
A ship passes by, hooping...
as if announcing a new season.
The operator sighs, because he knows
the new season will get him very busy again
Every time the season changes,
he has to adjust the machine.
He must oil some parts, replace
the batteries and change the reels.
The summer constellation
has to be projected in the summer,
and the winter constellation
runs only in wintertime.
It's a job that needs a lot of attention.
One day, at the usual cafeteria,
a new customer arrives.
The man explains
he comes from the south
just to see the aurora.
He said the people from his country
work hard every day...
...just to travel to the northern country
and watch the beautiful aurora...
displayed on the night sky.
Little did the man realize...
that he sat oppose...
the planetarium operator.
While traveling the realm of dream...
I discovered the little planet "Phantasmagoria".
This has been a story from that planet.
Till next time!
THE COLOR FACTORY FROM RAINBOW VALLEY
There is a paint factory
in the Rainbow Valley.
I work there.
To make our paints,
we scrape chunks from a shiny rainbow
which materialized here in the past.
As far as I can remember,
not other rainbow has appeared.
The factory has been in decline
the last years
and maybe I will loose my job.
Every night I go to the city
in search of booze.
Since there is nothing else to do,
day after day... I wake up drunk
One day...
I heard a story about a place...
called:
Shooting star Hillwhere often falling stars come down.
Those fallen meteors, when found,
are sold for a fortune
That's why I decided to go south,
hoping to make fast money.
But my hopes got shattered.
Not a single meteor was seen...
It took me more then a month,
before I got it...
I realized...
I had to come back.
The smell of the paint factory
welcomed me.
What should I do now?
Stay until everything was lost?
Then...
...I could not believe my eyes.
there was a new rainbow
that we craved for so much.
In my surprise it came back to me.
How much I loved rainbows.
While travelling the realm of dream...
I discovered the little planet
"Phantasmagoria".
This was a story from that planet.
Till next time!
GLASSY OCEAN:
The surface is made of glass...
...it waves softly.
Inside, a great number of creatures live.
To capture a prey from outside
takes a lot of effort.
Telegraphic posts go to work.
The moon rises from the surface!
How are you?
Eight sardines.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll go
to where the Element IX is.
No way, that's a dangerous place.
You'll get completely burned!
You see? He's also a victim.
When I see ships, I can't avoid it.
Have you ever been?
I was a sailor.
The last ship on which I sailed...
was called "Gondwana"
It was a beautiful Ship.
While travelling the realm of dream...
I found the little planet "Phantasmagoria".
This is a small story from that planet.
Till next time!
THE SOUTHERN COUNTRY
"Rager", Land of Snowmen, is the coldest
skate rink in the world at -86F.
Today marks the end of the season.
Starting tomorrow, the snowmen will begin
preparations to help Santa Claus for Xmas.
Just now, Santa has come back from gathering
all kinds of presents from all over the world.
The southern country Santa Claus talks about
a lot, is a real traveller's paradise.
There is a region where everything turns square,
an island where exotic plants bear dinosaurs,
another island where crystals reflect rainbow
colors and robots try to chisel them out in vain.
Yeah... everything sounds really amazing.
The snowman Santa told all this to,
decided to go and see it for himself.
A few days later, the snowman escaped silently,
and took the train that headed south.
What he saw through the window
was indeed very strange...
A city made of bread
with a soft and sweet smell...
A planetarium projecting the stars
on the night sky...
or a very dizzying labyrinth city.
One after another, it was a wonderful world,
new to his eyes.
After 3 days, around the 300th view, the breeze
and smell of the peppermint made him remember...
...and miss his town in the north
Exactly 5 days after departure.
The train at last arrived to the last stop,
The Hotel at the Frontier Limit.
However, there wasn't a snowman
found anymore, among the passengers.
Yeah, the south mainland, even at night time,
is really too hot for snowmen.
Xmas is coming soon.
While traveling the realm of dreams...
[discovered a small planet called: "Phantasmagoria".
This has been a small story from that planet.
Till next time!
There's an antique left
from 4,500 years back:
It's a light bulb.
Nobody knows it's purpose.
While travelling the realm of dreams...
I discovered this little planet, "Phantasmagoria".
This was a story from that planet.
Till next time!
GHOST TOWN:
Every year when autumn arrives
the town gets its energy back...
...from past times of prosperity.
The Ice columns begin to melt
at Dragon hill peak
And all over the planet the ghosts
get restless
Many take the opportunity
to commit crimes.
Finally the ghosts get on the move...
They all head towards ghost town.
Tonight is the annual celebration...
...of the ghosts carnival.
While traveling through the realm of dreams,
I found a little planet called "Phantasmagoria".
This was a little story from that planet.
Till next time!
MUSHROOM TOWN:
Hi, long time no see.
Everyday is sunny.
By the way, last night
a walking building passed through.
That is very strange.
It was headed south.
Maybe it wanted to see the ocean again.
I wonder,
because every day is sunny.
The week passed and at last it rained.
Everybody had waited for it to start raining.
While travelling the realm of dreams...
I discovered al little planet called "Phantasmagoria".
This is a story from that planet.
Till next time!
DISTILLERY:
This city, that is mysteriously moonshine
illuminated... is the distillery town.
In this town there are many
illegal whisky distilleries.
Alcohol spirits roam around in the village, which
sometimes leads to the strangest visual phenomena.
It's like the whole town is constantly intoxicated.
The one that distills the liquor is Abram.
Once a week he leaves town
His cart loaded with his own whisky.
There's a bar at which every night
all the stars gather.
They never mention the illegal liquor,
but everybody knows about it.
