(Music playing)

Animated versions of the sun and the planets spin and smile.

Singing, TO THE MOON AND BACK.

Little Malabar says, HA-HA!

Singing, I JUMP ON EVERY PLANET AND EVERY STAR. C'MON, LET'S GO FAR EXPLORE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE, LITTLE MALABAR.

A title reads: Little Malabar. Directed by Patrick Volve.

Text reads: The Great Magician of the Milky Way. Written by Valerie Magis and Jean Duprat. Storyboard by Franck Guillon.

A narrator says, THE GREAT MAGICIAN OF THE MILKY WAY.

Little Malaba puts on a black top hat with a gold star on it.

Little Malabar says, STEP RIGHT UP! STEP RIGHT UP AND WELCOME! WELCOME TO THE MAGIC SHOW OF THE GREAT LITTLE MALABAR! WATCH THIS. I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS BALL DISAPPEAR.

(Music playing)

A group of rabbits watch as Little Malabar holds up a small red ball. He takes off the hat and tosses the ball into it.

Little Malabar says, ABRACADA-MALABAR! DISAPPEAR!

He picks up the hat and the ball falls out.

Little Malabar says, OH, BUT-- HOW IN THE WORLD DID MAGICIANS MAKE THINGS DISAPPEAR?

(Chuckling)

The Sun smiles down from the sky.

The Sun says, I HAPPEN TO KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE EVERYTHING DISAPPEAR, EVEN THE STARS.

Little Malabar says, WOW! I WANT TO MEET THIS MAGICIAN!

The Sun says, HE'S HIDING IN THE CENTRE OF OUR GALAXY: THE MILKY WAY.

Little Malabar says, THANK YOU, SUN! AND WE'RE OFF!

Little Malabar puts on the hat and jumps into the sky. He hops on asteroids and moons, past planets.

(Exclaiming)

Little Malabar cries, AND HA! WHOO-HOO! SAY, SATURN, WHICH WAY'S TOWARDS THE CENTRE OF THE MILKY WAY?

Saturn says, BOY, OH, BOY! FOR THAT'S SUPER FAR! LOOK OVER THERE, THAT COMET COULD HELP YOU.

Little Malabar jumps on a passing comet made of rock.

Little Malabar says, HELLO, MRS. COMET! I'D LIKE TO GO TO THE CENTRE OF THE MILK WAY.

Mrs. Comet says, I'M NOT GOING THAT FAR, BUT WE CAN AT LEAST GO PART OF THE WAY TOGETHER.

Little Malabar says, GREAT! I'M GONNA SEE THE GREAT MAGICIAN WHO CAN MAKE EVERYTHING DISAPPEAR.

Mrs. Comet says, APPARENTLY, HE'S VERY MYSTERIOUS. YOU’LL TELL US ALL ABOUT IT. I'M GOING TO TURN AROUND SOON.

Little Malabar says, AND I'LL JUST CONTINUE IN MY MAGIC HAT.

Little Malabar takes off his hat. A white rabbit sits on his head.

Little Malabar says, OH! LITTLE WHITE RABBIT! YOU TOO WANNA SEE THE GREAT MAGICIAN? AND WE'RE OFF! NEXT TOP, CENTRE OF THE MILKY WAY! WOO-HOO!

(Giggling)

Little Malabar and the rabbit ride in the top hat.

(Music playing)

Red and gold clouds part to reveal a black hole outlined in red and orange gases.

Little Malabar asks, WOW! YOU'RE THE GREAT MAGICIAN OF THE GALAXY?

The black hole asks, A MAGICIAN?

(Laughing)

The black hole says, I AM SAGITTARIUS A, THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE OF THE MILK WAY.

Little Malabar says, A BLACK HOLE? CAN YOU MAKE EVERYTHING DISAPPEAR?

The black hole says, I CAN DO THAT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!

Little Malabar asks, SO THEN, DO YOU MIND GIVING US A MAGIC SHOW?

The black hole says, A MAGIC SHOW? HO-HO-HO! ALRIGHT. WELCOME TO THE MAGIC SHOW OF THE GREAT MAGICIAN BLACK HOLE! WHAT ARE THE MAGIC WORDS? OH! YES! BLACK HOLE-CADABRI, BLACK HOLE-CADABRA! NOW TURN AROUND ME!

Little Malabar spins

Little Malabar asks, WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT?!

(Planets exclaiming and laughing)

Planets circle the black hole.

Little Malabar says, SEE THAT, RABBIT? THE BLACK HOLE'S JUGGLING WITH THE STARS.

The black hole says, AND IT'S NOT OVER YET! BLACK HOLE-CADARBI, BLACK HOLE-CADABRA! BECOME REFORMED!

(Squealing)

A blue planet says, THAT TICKLES!

The blue planet orbits the black hole and turns into two streaks of blue.

Little Malabar says, WOW! CAN YOU MAKE SOMETHING DISAPPEAR RIGHT NOW?

The black hole says, OH! BLACK HOLE-CADABRI, BLACK HOLE-CADABRA! THIS STAR SHALL DISAPPEAR!

A star says, WHOA!

A yellow star is pulled into the black hole.

Little Malabar says, WOW! YOU MADE A STAR DISAPPEAR. CAN YOU MAKE IT REAPPEAR?

The black hole says, OH, WELL NO. EVERYTHING I SWALLOW NEVER COMES BACK OUT OF ME. I'M NOT A MAGICIAN, I AM A MYSTERY.

Little Malabar says, YES, THE GREATEST MYSTERY IN ALL OF THE GALAXY.

The black hole says, THANKS.

A star says, THAT'S THE END OF OUR MAGIC SHOW!

(Malabar laughing)

Little Malabar says, GOOD-BYE, BLACK HOLE, AND BRAVO!

The black hole says, GOOD-BYE, LITTLE MALABAR!

Little Malabar and the rabbit ride away in the hat.

Little Malabar cries, WOO-HOO!

(Laughing)

The hat lands on green grass, next to the group of rabbits.

Little Malabar says, TA-DA! I'M BACK TO MAKE MY FRIEND, ABRACADAB-MALABAR, REAPPEAR!

The white rabbit pops out of the hat. The other rabbits applaud.

(Clapping ears)

A narrator says, IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR GALAXY, AN ENORMOUS BLACK HOLE MAKES THE STARS WHIRL AROUND. IT'S VERY MYSTERIOUS, AND MAKES EVERYTHING WITHIN ITS REACH DISAPPEAR, INCLUDING LIGHT.
