The Fairy Princess Minky Momo franchise is returning with a new OVA, Fairy Princess Minky Momo: A Duo of Sincerity Toward a Dream of Longing, which opens in Japanese theaters on November 13. The OVA is the first new animated entry since 1994.
The Fairy Princess Minky Momo franchise, which began with the 1982 television series directed by Kunihiko Yuyama, is reviving after a 32-year gap with a new OVA. The film, titled Fairy Princess Minky Momo: A Duo of Sincerity Toward a Dream of Longing, opens in Japanese theaters on November 13. It is directed by Ayumu Watanabe at Ashi Production, with a script by Deko Akao and character designs by Hiroshi Watanabe and Mari Tominaga.
The story is set in Diginarsa, the land of dreams and hopes, which is sustained by dream energy. As humans lose their dreams and hopes, the dream energy decreases, threatening the land's existence. The king sends three companions-Chamocha, Dettabook, and Pipirupi-to seek help from Minky Momo. On her 12th birthday, a girl named Momo receives a smartphone and awakens as Minky Momo after meeting the companions, resolving to save Diginarsa. As she collects dream energy, a mysterious app becomes popular, but the dreams children share on the app are frivolous, driven by desire for recognition or views. Momo begins to question everyone's dreams.
The cast includes Kurumi Haruki as Minky Momo, with Fukushi Ochiai, Natsumi Fujiwara, and Rie Kugimiya in supporting roles. The OVA is the franchise's first new animated release since 1994's Minky Momo in The Station of Your Memories.
