Mysterious cities of Gold

[Notzi1981]

OMG!! I haven't seen this intro since I was about six years old! I used to LOVE this cartoon; it was my favorite cartoon on Nickelodeon (along with "The Little Prince"). Years later, I remember the show, but I forgot the name of it, and I searched on the net to find it, but I never could. Now, you posted the intro for it! Thank you so much for posting this!

[HBurns44]

Yes!!!! Loved this show. Thanks for uploading. Brought a smile when I heard the theme tune.

[elenore88]

I remember this!! Catchy theme tune isn't it.

[killerofkillers]

I remember this classic , was a long series but brill ... The theme song is now officially my ringtone : P X

[glowingboy]

I finaly found this cartoon! I LOVE it, when i was a child.

[animexartist1]

A while back I saw the complete series of this on DVD in HMV, I was tempted to get it but didn't.

[SenorTingle]

@RichXbox360 A friend of mine bought it recently, he watched about 10 minutes of the first episode and has never watched it since. Some things are best just as a memory!

[RichXbox360]

@SenorTingle Yeah, don't get me wrong I liked the series, but not enough to spend a fortune on a DVD boxset of it.

[redplague]

@RichXbox360 Aren't you a bit old for that.

[Jone36]

OMG! I can't believe this! I had totally forgotten about these cartoons. This brings back soo many memories. Love it!! Thanx

[gingergem85]

My memories of this show are a little hazy, why did they want to find the cities of gold? I mean, they seem to have that gold flying machine in the credits, surely that's enough gold for anyone?

[mrssimonpegg]

have this theme tune on a compilation album, and had no idea what it was, I still have no idea what it was

[PabloPlums]

CHILDREN OF THE SUN

STICK YOUR FINGER UP YOUR BUM

TWIST IT ROUND AND ROUND

TILL IT MAKES A SQUEAKY SOUND

I loved this show

[RichXbox360]

@PabloPlums LMFAO!

[joshuatrees]

Those plundering Spaniards!!

[leemarvinuk09]

Now that was a great cartoon to watch after school. :D

[QP300]

Oh my fucking god... I never thought I was to see this intro again... I have thought of this intro on and of for the last... 10 years or so - I loved the song when I was little... The only thing I remembered was a bit of the melody and a part of the lyrics (which has been translated to Swedish) and then the pics...

Haven't seen this in like... 18 or 20 years...

NOW I really love the internet :D

[323157]

@QP300

Me too dude! I asked everyone i knew if they could remember something like this and finally one of my friends knew so I Youtubed it. So nostalgic. We are officially old now.

[mwizard216]

this intro might suck but don't be fooled, such a GREAT cartoon!!

[zdarkstar20001]

Whoa!!! This show was on Nickelodeon when I was a kid like '85-'86? It was like very little else on tv for kids at that time. I couldn't remember what it was called till I saw this but wow! Memories! Thanks for posting this - now I can find out what the show was about lol...

[Boran99]

Nickelodeon was the best during the 80's.  I miss those days! :D

[suterman100]

It never ended.

[butcherofbielawa]

about 10 years ahead of its time

[mx5madness]

YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!! Brilliant!

[LonesMcC]

I seem to remember it on in the afternoon not a Saturday morning. It was one of the programmes shown "In the Broom Cupboard". There was a "send in for the lyrics" event and you could sing along. They also did something similar for Around the world with Willy Fog.

[RichXbox360]

@LonesMcC Oh yes, back in the days when Phil Schofield didn't have white hair (and he's no more than 10 years older than me).

[dogblessamerica]

This show was either PURE, multilayered GENIUS, or I was just 8 and didn't know any better...

[miraoister]

I NEVER WANT TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!

[baberconnew]

Oh I remember this, I think it came on a saturday morning! My friend at school sang, and unfortunately she got the words mixed up and sang "every day and night, with the condom(instead of condor) in flight. I pointed this out to her, but she denied it and got really mad. I often think about this song!! weird how they stick in your mind.

[TheEqualizer1972]

quality :)

[MissEverNight]

OH YES!!! Finally! After seeing all the rubbish of the 80's kid shows! Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, this is pure GOLD! Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats this show! It's the best above the so-called best!

[YUNLUNG31]

4 apsolute classic cartoons of the 80'S

around the world with willy fog, The Mysterious cities of Gold, dog tanian and the musket hounds, and not forgetting the equally awsome ullysess31 :) damm i miss the 80's :(

[cronauer1985]

i am with you. lets go back.

[stevenscollege]

Does anyone else remember when Philip Schofield had the broom closet with Gordon and he loved this song so much he wrote up the lyrics and sent them out to us kids who asked for them and when the show came on we all sang along, I did!!!! Im almost certain it was this song, does anyone else remember or am I going mad.

[martyp76]

nope, you are not mad! phillip did the lyrics and so did andi peters when it was repeated about 2 years later. now is it me or did the series seem to go on for about 6 months!?!?

[Ashworth6]

The whole series has just been released as a DVD boxset at HMV. A bit pricey, about £50, but it'll probably come down in a few months.

[bobilleg74]

OMG!  Had completely forgotten about this, but remember the theme so well!!

[Raskolnikov32]

my ghast is flabbered...

it is it the one with the golden eagle thing. cheers for posting this as every few years it pops into my head and i try to remember it and ask others but nadda and here it is...

[Raskolnikov32]

[spacecowboy22]

i dont want to grow old :( i want to be a child again. kids these days know fuck all about respect, discipline and fun things to do without harming someone or breaking other peoples things. bring back the 80's!!!!

[dogfuckbob]

Esteban, Estaban! The first thing I do when my my time machine is fully operational will be to go back and watch the whole series. I've just got to get out of this mental ward first.

[harshsmit]

got to rate as one of the best theme tune for a cartoon ever!

[orangeliverpool]

[sweettartangirl]

MENDOZA!!!!!!!!!! lol lol I loved this but I too was gutted when they crashed the condor

[alexjoe1978]

OH MY GOD!!!!! I'm 8 years old again! Quality!!

[ChocolateExplosion]

fucking brilliant

[camber78]

i have always remembered this and always will

[wayzotoichi]

it was first shown in autumn 1987, and definitely repeated in spring/summer 1989.

[cidertronic]

that music still sends a thrill down my spine, or maybe its the fact that i have been up all night smoking pot & wallowing in nostalgia.

[liverchamp]

I think it must of come out between 1987-1989, but i could be wrong. hawkini should know the year it came out as he/she sorry mate, i dont know your gender, has the dvd box set.

[zigazi1980]

i remember it went on for ages i guess they started and had sutch a build up for ages they just could not figure out how to finish the damn thing all i remmeber is just never seeing it again can't even remmeber the last episode darn it still brings back the memories though

[dregj]

and they never found the bastard gold

just like the dungeons and dragons cartoon

they never got home

what a cock tease

[hawkini]

I have the DVD set - Japanese quality with English audio - contact me!

[eldospinks]

Just how long was this series on?

[mungo1977]

[Darren79]
