The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Good School present An original film from the #metkids animation lab Heian period, Japan, 12th century Fudo Myoo and the Rookie One night, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the security guards are called for a meeting. Bob! Egyptian. You, Arms and Armor! Rookie, look for where you are! The poor Rookie had to stay where he was because no one trusted him, until-- What the--?! Ahhhh!!! Hello, I'm Fudo Myoo. Are you alive? I will help you gain the trust of your fellow security guards. As Rookie started to trust Fudo Myoo, a very incompetent robber started to break in. Get back here! (baby giggling) Oh no! (baby crying) Get out of here! Did you hit my baby? So Fudo and the Rookie finally captured the robber. Later in another gallery… Good, good, but first, let me take a selfie. No flash photos, sir. Thank you, Fudo Myoo! So the Rookie earned the respect of all of his peers. ♪ (upbeat music) ♪ What will you make?
