  • My grandmother had cable, and when I was visiting her, I used to never miss this show.

  • The the whole thing reminds me a bit of starzinger.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this cartoon

  • great theme tune.

  • i prefer the french version

  • People will forever debate ''the best kids tv show ever'' but imo there is only one show that stands above Mysterious cities of gold and that's Sesame Street.Ulysses 31 rounds out the top three.

  • @Rachenwut Fuckin mentalist... you should be locked up for your own, and other peoples safety... what the fuck are you on sir?

  • i used to love this program.

  • git majono

  • wow, I have very dim memories of seeing this one day as a kid and feeling sad later that it wasn't on any more. Something very special about the 'falcon' and the 'sun' and the 'gold' and the 'children' and the 'mysterious' etc.

  • Pure classic

  • Why are the cartoons of the 80s so magical the animation and theme tunes are mind blowing and there like 25 years old...... yourd think cartoons get better not worse..im so blessed to be an 80s baby!

  • @Khaos969 Couldn't agree more :)

  • @Khaos969

    Well said my thoughts exactly... And I wonder how many of our generation

    are responsible for the dribble on TV today... Shameful.

  • @Uberdude25

    just look at morning old people and the week shits that count for kids now sadays

  • Used to watch it just for the intro :)

  • I've only seen two episodes of this show, but the opening is so epic.

    

  • love it, id totally take this to my desert island!

  • Love it!!!

  • this was sheer class!

  • Do do do do do.

    AAAAAAAH AAAAAAH AAAAAAAH!

  • this was such a cool show - they dont make them this good no more

  • Damn :( ,, I feel I am getting old

  • This shat all over Dogtanian, seriously brilliant.

  • @verfugbarkite

    even so dpgtaniaian still kill anything made by the west now a days

  • @verfugbarkite LMAO.

  • Bajka mojego dzieciństwa :)

  • fuck this was the most epic series ever.. have the whole thing on dvd.

    do do do do cities of gold..

    estebaaaaaan!

  • @mattos000 epic alright .. did it ever have an ending ..cant remember

  • @mattos000 the dvd was worth it just for the special feature of philip schofield singing this song lol

  • @mattos000

    where can you get dvds from?

  • I wanted Esteban to team with Zia but then they had to starwarsfie the ending. :/

  • I am sure we will see an English dub for the next 3 seasons. They will have too. To make the new shows costs real money and to get the show to a highest possible audience level, they need to show it in places like the USA, UK and Australia. By wierdness, Canada will see the next 3 seasons of this show in French (as a "tribute" to Quebec).

  • Yes, there were toys, books and other general merchandise for this show. But you had to know French or Japanese to really want to buy it. There was no English language merchandise for this show ever. And most TV showing do not show the mini documentaries, mainly for time issues like putting on more toy and junk food ads. But they do all return for the DVD set.

  • Was the best cartoon ever. It wasn't driven by the need to sell a shit ton of toys in franchises unlike many of the other 80s cartoons

  • WATCH THIS PEOPLE /watch?v=gV9A2IGShuk TIME TO GIVE THE GLOBALISTS HELL WAKE PEOPLE UP

  • I loved this show when I was a kid.

  • This aired on Nickelodean in the 80's. I was a little dissappointed Esteban didn't know he met his father at the end.

  • Did this have an ending?

  • @TheArsebiscuits It had some sort of ending, yes. However, there's a new sequel being written and produced. It should be aired in 2011~2013 on TF-1 (Télévision Française). They promise 3 new seasons, which sounds rather promising ;). Although, I have no idea if it's going to be translated to English!

  • even now this one is cool

  • thumbs up if you should be doing something a bit more productive than looking up obscure 80's kids themes tunes......GET BACK TO WORK DAMMIT!!!!

    

  • I loved this as a kid ;brilliant theme tune;don't make kids tv programmes like this nowadays.

  • brings back memories awesome:D

  • Funny how they omitted the ritual human sacrifices that the Mayan's used to like for family entertainment in this cartoon!

  • @neil73 actually the origianl run had a mini doctumentary at the end of each episode they went into the sacrifices in that they are on the offical dvds

  • @robuk1981 They never showed that, as far as I remember when it was on telly over here in the UK

  • I loved this show!!! Brings back memories

  • ammın oglu esteban

  • looking forward to see the sequel.

  • This show is that epic even Ghostface Killah of the Wu Tang Clan had a gold eagle like the on on Cities of Gold

  • @jnorth it was a condor not an eagle.

  • Wow, I found it again. Yay! I loved this growing up. *excited* lol

  • Mendoza was a great character :)

  • i always wanted to see the end. now thanks to torrents...here i go

  • tell me if i' am right or wrong that they reached the gate's of cities of gold and it was distroyed or have i dreamed it somebody please tell me it was a long tme ago' its the with same with jonny briggs did he have a dog called razzle

  • @chris27708 mate i dont want to give too much away but yes they get to the city of gold but so too do the olmecs....... much disagreement ensues but the last few episodes are great! really good ending

  • @harrison6me just watched the last episodes again i must admit it was quite a complex story line for a cartoon i don't know how it held my interest for so many episodes as child

  • The "deluxe" Region 1 DVD for the US is no longer being made. Now you can only get the standard DVD set. You're not missing much. The deluxe set had a history booklet, 6 post cards and other stuff. You can go without this. You can use Google to replace the history booklet. I own this on DVD and it is the standard edition.

  • Maan, it looks so boring and mysterious that it even kinda scares me...

  • SOOO many memories from 22+ years ago, and i still remembered all the words....sigh...good times...

  • I'm ashamed to admit I never watched this show as a kid.

    The DVD of the show was released recently but I chose not to get it.

    Now it's gone from the shelves and I missed my chance.

    Stupid, Jeremy. Stupid.

  • best intro for cartoon...ever....

  • This cartoon was pure adventure. Tomb Raider eat your heart out.

  • A solid gold ship and aircraft, what's not to love

  • Looking at this song makes me feel so dam old lol

  • @chinesefireball7 Oh-oh-oh-oh-old

  • we had a rude version of this song we sang in primary school , ha ha

  • you don't realise when your a kid this was made by adults.. yeah and now i am one and gonna fuck the rest of them up!

  • This is what happens when French and Japs collaborate... draw your own conclusions

  • i remember this show

  • This was one of the best shows on TV - ever

  • This was one of the best shows on TV - ever

  • Why do I want gold so much?! Must be because I'm Norweigan. xD

  • It's on NETFLIX NOW!!!!!~!!!!!!!!

  • is it me or did this cartoon go on age's i remember the last episode when they found the cities of gold and being disappointed as a child how it ended

  • @chris27708 45 episodes.

  • Hello my fellow children of the 80's

  • "condorial" flight?

  • @raresaturn its "Condor in flight" which is a big gold flying bird they find and runs on solar power..if my memory serves me well ;-)

  • just watched the full entire dvd boxset as i used to watch this when i was a kid and never managed to see when they found the city of gold, its an amazing cartoon.

  • The Japanese gave us such great cartoons to watch in the 80s...once they stopped were left with American crap.

  • @Khaos969 lol awww look at the naive weeaboo...

  • damm i need time machine

  • @pawel1818

    me too.

  • It used to really annoy me how the children in this series lived life in a frivolous and pleasure-seeking way. Why weren't they studying? They were young enough to still be at school. Instead all they were concerned about was having adventures.

  • @vymmas If I had my way, they'd all be working in mines or up chimneys instead of indulging in such shameful, capitalist frivolities as searching for gold cities.

  • @vymmas I was more disgusted at how they had a complete lack of respect for conserving ancient sites and touched and disturbed anything they could find!! They should have been on their hands and knees meticuously brushing with a toothbrush the first chiseled rock that they found and documented everything. There was no proper method or procedure which these young archeologists followed at all!

  • @vymmas That young boy even had the audacity to destroy a one of a kind solar ship. Imagine if instead they hauled that back to Spain and reverse engineered it. The world wouldnt have needed to go through a stinky, pollution-filled industrial revolution and Spain might not have lost the armada to Elizabeth. Those pesky kids. Not only should they have been in school Mandoza should have whipped them into getting their B. Arts(Archeology) and B. Business (Economics) first!

  • @700gsteak what the fuck are you blabbering about?

  • @vymmas I hope that the next 3 seasons they're making is a reboot. Season 2 should be the adventures of Zia and Esteban getting their degree at the Uni of Madrid. It will involve a 3 way love triangle between the two and Tao. Season 3 will be about them heading to the New World. On landing, Mandoza is promptly arrested by the locals on child smuggling charges. Sancho and Pedro are charged with piracy on the high seas. Zia, Esteban and Tao now head off on their own. The love

  • @vymmas triangle is in full development by now. Tao is found to be gay and Zia and Esteban discover they are half siblings but they dont care. They uncover the first clue to where they should be heading and for the next 5 years are caught in redtape getting approvals to explore the site. Once approved the trio continue where they last left off and start working away in a scientific manner on the site. By this time the Olmecs have recovered the jar and the Solaris. Tao is sent back

  • @vymmas to Spain to get additional funding but at customs he forgets to declare his parrot and is thrown into the slammer. As a result, Zia resorts to night services to make ends meet. The rest of the season is about them blowing away at rocks with Zia's hairdryer while battling officials over pollution and other environmental issues. In season 3, Zia and Esteben are nearing retirement age. They take up an advisory position and let their son head the exploration. The first site is

  • @vymmas @vymmas finally fully uncoverd and documented and they begin shifting to the next clue site. Luckily they are prepared this time and have all the necessary approvals and brown paper bag dealings(Zia helps a lot here and even at the age she is quite a wonder) done in advance so they can commence work immediately. On the first day of digging they see a goldenbird flying high in the sky but think nothing much of it. They are more dismayed to find that somebody has gotten to

  • @vymmas the site before they did. The next 5 years is about them battling to get their papers published in leading scientific journals and fending off low-life plagiarists. The end of the season then takes a dramatic turn when Esteban and Zia return back to Spain to retire and they find Madrid is completely destroyed and in ruins. It is revealed major cities around the world have met the same fate and nobody knows where the UFO which caused the destruction came from.

  • @vymmas

    your right...700gsteak sounds like coked out trekie with autism.

  • One of the best cartoon series ever, certainly of the 1980s...

  • whole series is on netflix gogo

  • Why did Taal have eyes like pissholes in the snow?

  • Brilliant they don't make like this anymore.ALL TIME CLASSIC

  • Always loved the way the clouds blow one way and the hair blows the other :) classic 80's cartoon with no though about science :) Just the greatest. Was it Mandosa the bad guy???

  • I wish i can go back in time.

  • Good cartoon,good music .80's cartoons > todays cartoons.

  • For some reason I always remembered this show as The Golden Condor.

  • I have the entire series if anyone wants it, just contact me through youtube

  • I used to flip my shoes off singing this song!!!

  • @moomoo1337 hahahaha, it's Condor

    Every day and night, with the condor in flight.

    With all your friends in tow, search for the Cities of Gold.

  • @PonAdidas I love this comment... made me smile as i read it!

  • Comment removed

  • When I was a kid I used to sing "titties of gold" to this lol.

  • @MrBillytree Im hearing you. Read up on cultural Marxism and it will all become clear.

  • Fuck me what the hell happened to chrildrens cartoons, the animation, the singing, the storys I remember this when I was a small child and im so glad I was brought up in that generation, when I flick through chrildrens TV now its absolute garbage, poor kids are growing up with no indepth cartoons thats why there on the streets shooting each other! when I was young I was at home at 6pm watching Knightrider and Airwolf!

  • @Khaos969 Peado

  • @NowUrMad are you? better get help then

  • Man, I used to have such a crush on Zea! ROFLAMO - hey, I was VERY young ;)

  • @ElenarMT no shame... i had a crush on Tintin when i was little lol

  • The French studios who are making the new seasons have sacked the original French dub cast who voiced Esteban, Zia and Tao and will get new voice actors to replace them. But people in France and Quebec do not like this and are using Facebook petitions to get his dicision overturned. They want the Season 1 voices of Esteban, Zia and Tao to do the remaining 3 seasons. And in the French dib, Esteban and Tao inseasaon 1 were voiced by females.

  • There will be 3 new seasons for this show with 2 cities of gold revealed per season. Each season will have 26 episodes in it. Air dates for the French speaking world for Season 2 is September 2012. And after a required English dub, it will air in the English speaking world in around June 2013. It is expected that the 3 child (Esteban, Zia, Tao) parts will be given to new child voice actors for the English dub. But there is a lot of issues with the 3 child voices for the French dub.

  • @darkangel2347

    WHAT!!!

    Oh they are walking a very very very thin line. If they get it wrong, they will destroy one of the best children's animation ever.

    I remember watching this when it first came out, Wednesday afternoon after school with my mum as she loved it too. If they are doing it, they will have to make it perfect. No political correctness crap, no morals rammed down your throat, just tell a story and tell a fooking great one at that with the Jap's to animate again.

  • This show did show om Boomerang here in Australia in December/January 2009-10 and also in December/January 2010-11. It was on the 2010-11 run that I caught E12 on 16/12/2010 and brought the series on DVD two hours later. The TV versions cut out the end mini-documentries to replace them with ads for toys and junk food. To see these documentries, you need to own the DVD. And by the way, we get to see MCOG in English here too.

  • Sounds like Ace of Base doing the theme

  • bring back such momeries. 

  • Epic cartoons in the 8os.Animation wise and musiclly.They had some morals in the stories,the adventure and serch for good! Now the kids watch random shouty shit.Part of that statement is nostalgia for my innocent youth,but mostly its true!

  • the 16 so called people are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oo sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What a classic. Cartoons in the 80's were quality!

  • @beddy3783 Amen to that unlike the GARBAGE & CRAP of today. Smh :-S

  • This cartoon and music holds the true essence of the 80s!

    Wow were the last generation that will ever see cartoons like this...!

  • Holy shit, this series is now on Netflix instant play!

  • 16 people had a bad childhood...

  • Boy does this bring back memories. Remember when they finally found the City of Gold and then it turned to stone? What a disappointment.

  • this is one of those "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO...." cartoons of the 80's...theme song is very catchy, & addictive...getting it stuck in your head is easy....get it out is hard....lol...sadly it is all i remember of the the show...sad but true :(

    ....but atleast theres hope....i see a link on "related videos" for the dvd set....

    hey u think boomerange, or even "the hub network" can bring this show back on the air?....hub got jem...& she was hard to get back.....

  • i remember this and philip fucking scholfield and his shitty puppet

  • @mrmalade How dare you insult gordon the gopher !!!! LOL

  • christ, this interminable cartoon strip had so many episodes - you might've been a kid when you started watching it, but you'd be about 27 by the time they finally got to the end

  • This theme song was my ring tone for about a year :)

  • :(

  • This really brings it back!

  • Damn, kids tv was awesome back in the 80s.

  • @headofwords Definitely, I'm glad I was a child then! :)

  • Season of 2 is in production, 2012. Can't wait.

  • Never thought I would see this again! Watched it all the time when I was a kid. Can't thank you enough for posting this, Playerone!

  • Who cares about the cities of gold whenever youve got a giant golden eagle! That thing is bound to be worth a ton!

  • @NicosMind

    That's a Condor

  • @Rubystars1000 Dam i actually knew that :S. Its cause of the word gold in golden. I even had a wee think beforehand to make sure i didnt write something else. Self fulfilling prophecy me thinks
