The Magical World of Gigi (Harmony Gold English Dub; 1984)

The Magical World of Gigi was a 1984 English adaptation of the anime Magical Princess Minky Momo (魔法のプリンセス ミンキー モモ Mahō no Purinsesu Minkī Momo). It was produced by Harmony Gold, around the same time they had dubbed Robotech. Additionally, a copyright encyclopedia notes that the theme song for this adaptation had its copyright filed on September 7, 1984.

The first 52 episodes of Momo were utilized for the dub, and are said to have been very minimally edited by those who have claimed to have seen them. The series failed to air in the United States, as buyers were not interested, but this adaptation was used as the basis for several international versions that aired under the "Gigi" title (such as those aired in France, Italy, and the Netherlands). The Italian dub stuck to the 52-episode order used by Harmony Gold, though the remaining episodes would later be dubbed a few years later. The French dub managed to cover the entirety of the Minky Momo series.

The English version did eventually make its way on to the "Cartoon Connections" block of ATV10 in Melbourne, Australia, and aired from at least late 1986 to early 1988.

It is unknown what ultimately became of the dub masters for Momo/Gigi; it is alleged that both it and Dragonball were the only two titles that Carl Macek did not buy for Streamline Pictures. While Dragonball's license eventually passed to FUNimation in 1995, it seems that the license to Minky Momo may have reverted to Ashi by then, and the tapes are either in Ashi's possession or were destroyed.

It is possible there may be copies of episodes recorded from the Australian broadcasts of the series, but none have yet to surface.

The only portion of Minky Momo that has ever managed to see a commercial release in the USA would be the 1985 OVA La Ronde in my Dream, localized in 1987 as "Gigi and the Fountain of Youth". While Carl Macek did not appear to have been part of the production team behind the dub of the series, he was involved with the dub of the OVA.

Little is known about the cast of the TV series dub, although the voice actor Jan Rabson has attested to having worked on it and claimed he had voiced at least three different characters. Richard Epcar and Ellyn Stern have also listed a "Gigi" title in their voice acting resume, although it is not clarified if they are referring to the OVA or the TV series.
