So, I hope this is it: there is a french anime called "ClĂŠmentine" which features a magic bubble and time travel.

Ah, I remember this one. It was pretty dark for a western anime of that time, too, with the little girl being maimed and basically molested by the demon in the very first episode.

What could have happened that she ended up like this?

Don't mind me.. I'm just lurking

Could it be Time Bokan? an anime from 1975.
The show is about a time traveling boy and girl looking for the inventor of a time traveling device (who disappeared testing the machine).
The title of Episode 21 is "Pinokio no dai bĹkenda Petcha" which means Pinnochio's Big Adventure.
edit: There seems to be a 2016 remake of it as well. Which means it was popular enough back then to warrant a remake; therefore the original may have aired in the US back in the 80s.

Did you watch it? If so; would you recommend it?

Bad bot
Certain site? what the hell? what site was it?

That's a human, not a bot

I'm not a bot....
It's the site you linked to. But Rand is right, I didn't read your comment carefully enough (or... at all lol). Linking to illegal downloads is against our rules so even if you replaced the link we wouldn't allow it. Sorry for being somewhat misleading!

What good is replacing the link going to do?

I feel very dumb.... I just saw the spam filter removal and went on auto-pilot @_@

Your in the right community and someone will eventually realize what it is. I don't know the anime itself but if u can give us an idea of what the art style was or what it looked like than we can narrow down a few

You sound like a paramedic assuring someone that they will be fine.

Your prolly the 10th person who told me a similar thing. Yes the way I talk makes me sound like that

Damn that made me laugh kek good one

hmmm is it this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio:_The_Series

I would almost guarantee that's it. And after reading that plot synposis I'm realizing I've seen that movie as well. In my head, some of the plot points had merged with the movie A.I. due to watching them around the same time as a young child.
16
That seems to line up more or less with OP's memory. A few differences but probably the closest I've seen so far. Here's the movie on youtube that has a gondola ride and pinocchio having some kind of drink instead of gelato. He also meets an inventor and girl earlier on.
11
I watched this a few years ago and the events OP described do not even come close to happening in the anime.
10
You might've not found OP's anime
But you certainly have found one that I have watched as a 4 year old (The English film) and have completely forgotten it has existed until this moment. Thank you.

Upvoting for visibility. I cannot help in this endeavor but hopefully someone comes along who can.

Doubt it's this, didn't watch this episode on YT but Bakuretsu Eto Ranger had a lot of episodes involving "time travel" and going into American made stories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B2Ap1kkSc0 Your thing made me rung a bell with this because like you, I watched something about 25 years or so ago and it was kinda like what you described.
23
I don't think this one is possible because the show was never licensed in North America so OP couldn't have rented it from a Blockbuster. Assuming here OP is an American like most other redditors. I know Blockbusters were in other countries.

Post this there too, might help

I canât recommend this sub enough! It helped me and my brother find an obscure anime short film that we thought would never be rediscovered!

r/animesuggest is tailored to this stuff

Yes, every detail you can think of would help,
15
If you still can't find it you should try posting this in r/whitewhale too!

OP is Minoa from Anime-Gataris
(sorry I can't help best of luck in ur search)

Isn't "Galaxy Express 999"?
3
So, are we assuming that this is an OVA/ film and not a series?
Also, I don't suppose you could remember what language it was in?
If you list the region you're in that might help as well.

God I thought this was going to be a link to some study.
Hopefully you find it! Looks like u/CraftyCrafter has the best guess.

OP please tell us if you find it!

you might wanna try reposting this into r/tipofmytongue too!

I also remember watching an anime in based in venice. I thought it was pokemon but we must've watched that just before or something. What I saw just stayed with me, just like a good dream.

It's been a few years and I still am brought to tears by a certain anime

Updooting for visibility, I hope you find the anime you're looking for, OP!

Lmao, I thought that you were watching some disturbing anime that traumatized your childhood. Hope you succeed in your endeavor, OP.
At first I thought she meant watching anime at a young age is.. Bad?đ
I was waiting on a link to a study lol
