share a fond memory

Inspired by a lovely post by [personal profile] shirebound, here is the English-language main theme for Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea (also known as Les Mondes Engloutis, in the original French), a French animated series (I seem to have a deep and abiding love for these) that aired between 1985 and 1987. We ended up watching it in the 90s and 2000s, due to much cheaper licensing costs.



From what I recall, it's a colorful, zany and quite unique production, while still remaining grounded in very human values and with some highly emotionally-charged moments. Something that's very specific to French animation and bandes-dessinees.

This is the opening for the show, with part of the theme in use:



What are some of the main musical themes for the shows from your childhoods? Feel free to share them with me in the comments.

I'm sure that must be the case, especially as British TV was filled with this sort of thing when I was younger.
