Early 90's cartoon

[hexica]

What is the name of a cartoon shown in the early 90's that had several characters getting into a gold plane/ship thing shaped like an eagle - something to do with a golden city or something?

yeah, it was called mysterious cities of gold and had one of the best jangly themes ever. oh, fond memories...

[incitatus]

yep, great. Only not verypolitically correct. It did sort of brush over the whole genocide thing that was going on at the time. Still, it was a kids show.

aaaah the theme tune. 'Children of the sun.... la la la la orsomething'. There was also the inevitable comedy version sung in the playground which was kinda rude. I would make it late 80's though myself - around the same time as Around the World in 80 days with Willy Fogg (the lion?!?).

"Ah ah ah a, some day we will find the cities of gold........" and it was fileous fog, not willy! duh

It was with Willy Fogg - that was the animal based cartoon version. Phileas Fogg was the original book version... ! I think the cartoon was called Cities of Gold and was based in the Amazon.
