The Children of the Sun...

Post by FZeroOne »

From Anime News Network:"Mysterious Cities of Gold DVDs in UK in 2008, US Later:The media rights holder and distributor Fabulous Films revealed that it will release the first English DVDs for The Mysterious Cities of Gold adventure series in the United Kingdom in February 2008, with release plans in the United States and Australia afterwards. The European production company DIC and Japan's Studio Pierrot based this 39-episode series about the search for South America's mythical Seven Cities of Gold on The King's Fifth novel from Scott O'Dell (Island of the Blue Dolphins). The series aired widely throughout the world, including on Japan's NHK in 1982, Nickelodeon in the United States in the late 1980s, Australia's ABC, and the Children's BBC in the United Kingdom.

Currently watching the dvds again - very catchy theme tune. Never remember the mini docus at the end - or did BBC delete them?

I think that they may have shown them the first time around, but not on subsequent airings.

Only in the foreign versions. A guy at work didn't believe me when I told him about the Aztec human sacrifice ritual and DON'T get me started on the film Apocalypto :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: .....

The mini docs were definitely on the Beeb airings, I remember them quite vividly. One of the first things I checked out when I got the DVDs, just to see if they were on there.

Fantastic box set. Still haven't made my way through the season 2 blu ray set though! :shock:
