Magical Princess Gigi, Sequel to Gigi and the Fountain of Youth
(Also known as Mahou no Princes Minky Momo, The Princess of Magic Minky Momo, and The Fairy Princess Minky Momo)
~*Note*~Many people have not heard of this cute little anime. I used to watch an Americanized children version of it when I was little. I just recently watched it again at the age I am now and I think it is very well animated and it's a cute little story. I only got to see the movie.
It starts out with Gigi's (Minky Momo's) parents leaving on a vacation to a tropical island. Their plane crashes and Gigi goes after them with her pet friends, Bonkers; a dog, Mocha; a monkey, and Tweet; a bird. They reach the island to find all the adults who come there get transformed into children by the clever Peter(Japanese name unknown) who has the fountain of youth as his power source. His dream is to make a world of peace and to do so he changes all the adults into children so they can be happy. Gigi's parents are used as the parents for all of the children of the special world Peter has creator (the worlds American name being Kensington Gardens). A secret company called the NCI thinks Peter's world is something terribly bad and attack. Gigi and all the other children fight hard to protect their peaceful world but in the end Kensington Gardens is destroyed. Peter ends up leaving and Gigi is back at home with her parents.
I was wondering if Peter ever returned in further episodes though I doubted it. I have never seen any episodes of Minky Momo so I am not perfect with the history of her. Just for extra info here's something off a really good site
"The TV series Mahou no Princess Minky Momo (The princess of magic Minky Momo), created by Takeshi Shudo (dramatist) and Kunihiko Yuyama (director), was broadcasted in Japan weekly from March 18th, 1982 to May 26th, 1983 running for 63 episodes. It was broadcasted later in France, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and several other countries.
Due to the success of the TV series, in 1985 a 90 minutes movie was made. The title was Yume no Naka no Rondo. In United States it was edited and broadcasted by Harmony Gold as The magical Princess Gigi , but it's also known as Gigi and the fountain of Youth. This edited version was also dubbed in Spanish by other company and released as Gigi y la fuente de la juventud."

Chapter 1: The Flute Player
Gigi sat in her room as the sun left the sky. Her slow motions with her hand showed she was writing down something. She looked deep in concentration every now and then. "And so my love... umm... I will feel for the!" she said aloud to herself as she wrote the words down on the paper. "Finished!" said Gigi with glee as she reread her lyrics to a song she had been thinking about.
Since her 16th birthday, as well as her being reborn as a regular human child, things had changed greatly. She had to work to make her dreams come true and no longer had her magical jewel. She missed her wonderful little pet friends, Shindobook, Pipiru, and Mocha. They had gone back to Fenarinaasa when she had been reborn. She was very happy with the path she had chosen none the less. Her dream to sing on stage was still bright in her mind and she was trying her hand at writing songs that day.
"Now if only I could get the tune for it," sighed Gigi as she chewed on the end of her pencil while looking at the lyrics. She hummed a little tune in her mind with the lyrics. The slow little tune suddenly seemed to come alive in the wind. "Huh? What's that!?" asked Gigi aloud noticing the tune continued even after she stopped humming. She walked to the window. The tune got stronger. She opened her window slowly and looked out at the new moon that had risen. The tune still grew. She looked down at the street. She looked left and right but didn't know where the tune was coming from.
She suddenly noticed a clothed man sitting on a bench playing a flute. The melody was coming from his flute. "Hey you!" says Gigi out the window to the man. The man stops playing abruptly. "Who are you?" asks Gigi with her eyes wide in wonder. The man stood up fast and ran off. "Hey wait!" yelled Gigi as she ran from her room to the outside. She managed to catch site of him and chased after him. She lost him when he went around a corner. "Where could he have gone?" asked Gigi to herself as she caught her breath.
"And how did he know the tune in my head?" Gigi puzzled over it as she walked home. She laid down to sleep. She tossed and turned but could not sleep. "Who is he?" thought Gigi as she stared up at her ceiling. She hummed the tune in her mind again, hopping he would come and start playing it on his flute again. She slowly fell into sleep, humming her tune.
The sun shown brightly through her window the next morning as Gigi's alarm went off. She lazily hit the snooze button with her hand. She sat up slowly. She yawned then stretched as she put her feet on the soft pink carpet. "Gigi! Breakfast is ready!" says mama from downstairs. "Alright I am coming!" says Gigi as she jumps up and walks to her cloths closet. She puts on her attire and walks down the stairs.
"Mmm is that pancakes I smell?" asked Gigi with a grin as she came into the kitchen. "Yup, is blueberry okay?" asks mama with a smile. "Of corse!" says Gigi as she sits down at the table. "Morning papa," says Gigi to her dad who's sitting at the table as well. "Good morning Gigi," says papa while reading the morning news paper. Mama brought the pancakes over and the family started eating.
"The pancakes are great mama!" says Gigi as she wolfed down another pancake. "Yes, dear, they are simply a turn on," says papa with a sexual hint. "Oh my!" laughs mama as she blushes and kisses papa. Gigi finishes and brings her plate to the sink and washes it. "Did you sleep well Gigi? You look tired," says mama with concern. "Oh I am fine, I am just sleepy in the morning," says Gigi with a smile. "Alright, just making sure," says mama. "Well I am going out to the park, I will be back soon!" says Gigi as she grabs her purse and walks out waving bye. "Bye Gigi!" both her parents yell as she leaves.
Gigi walked along the side walk to the park. The sun was in the top of the sky. It was a rather cool day and beautiful at that. She pulled out a piece of paper out of her purse. "And to you love I wish you would give me..." sung Gigi to herself, using the same tune she had hummed last night. She set her purse down and started dancing around the park as if she was on stage, she had already memorized the lyrics and the tune.
She was using a stick as a microphone. In her mind the park became a stage, all the brilliant, bright lights shining on her as she sang her song. When she finished she heard her applause. She suddenly came back to reality to find she had mustered up quite a crowd. Many children and adults were clapping, yelling "Bravo, Bravo!!". Gigi blushed and bowed. She stands back up.
She looks at the faces of all the crowd when suddenly she notices the capped man from last night. His face was covered by the shadow of his cloak, his skin seemed to be a light tan. The cloak was green. He wore tan gloves, and tan elf like shoes. As the crowd left slowly so did he. Gigi started walking towards him. He noticed and started running.
"Hey come back!" yells Gigi after the cloaked man. She starts running. He tripped but abruptly got back up and continued running. He seemed to move faster and faster. He was so far away that he disappeared from Gigi's sight. She stopped to catch her breath. "What is with that guy?" asks Gigi to herself as she walks back to the park to retrieve her purse.
"Why hello what is this?" asks Gigi aloud as she noticed a dagger laying on the ground close to where the man tripped. It glowed a light blue when she touched it. She stared at it as if she had seen it before. It stopped glowing after a minute it and looked like a normal dagger. "How odd," thought Gigi as she carried it with her to her purse. She snugly put the dagger in her purse and slung it over her shoulder as she prepared for home.
She watched the birds fly over head. She could never forget about Kensington Gardens, the peaceful paradise filled with bubbly, bright little children. It was so beautiful she could never forget it. She sighed and continued on her way to her home. "Why are the lights all off?" asked Gigi aloud to herself as she neared her home. "I guess mama and papa went out," shrugged Gigi as she pulled out her key and opened the door to her house.
She flicked on the lights. In a split second, she was attacked by three men in dark green cloaks. "Grah! Let me go!" yelled Gigi as she struggled to get free. "Not this time deary," hisses one of the men as they tighten their grip. They gaged Gigi as their leader appeared before her. "Ah she will be a fine addition to his collection," says the leader with a evil grin. "Yeah let's hope we got the right one this time," smirked one of the henchmen. "Quiet you!" shouts the leader at the henchmen.
Gigi looked frantic. "Collection!?" she thought to herself as her eyes grew wide. One of the henchmen picked her up. "Come men we need to get back to him," says the leader. He walks through a vortex that appears. Gigi struggles in the henchman's arms but its no use as he walks after the leader through the vortex to the unknown.
