Hana no Mahoutsukai Marybell Phoenix no Kagi

Aired: 1992

A theatrical companion to the popular Ashi Production magical girl TV anime Hana no Mahoutsukai Marybell. The story follows the gentle flower fairy Marybell and her companion Tambourine on an adventure tied to a legendary Phoenix Key, expanding the world of the television series with new characters and settings. While preserving the soft watercolor palette and warm musical sensibility of the TV broadcast, the film delivers richer visual flourishes suited to the big screen, packaged as a charming family-friendly fantasy. Chieko Honda's theme songs Watashi! Marybell and Tottemo Suteki Marybell add buoyant melodies that round out the experience. The film became a fitting capstone to the Marybell television tradition and a fondly remembered example of early-90s magical girl anime cinema.
