#Les Mondes Engloutis

[therobotmonster]

Okay, so, I want to paint a picture for you.

It's 1985. You're not allowed to watch TV on Saturday because of complex religious reasons, so you get Sunday morning cartoons.

So you find this weird French cartoon on Nickelodeon called Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. It's your He-Man (see above complex reasons).

And it has two dancing pangolins (you thought they were armadillos at the time because you're from the midwest) that are actually thousands-upon-thousands-of-years-old cyborgs from an underground kingdom of legless people that bounce along on spherical asses.

You try and tell people about this show, both at the time, and throughout your life thereafter, with the patchy memory of an 8 year old.

Most families didn't have cable in 85.

It didn't go well. It was not slogbical

So now you all get to bear witness. You all must behold...

The FLASHBIC.

Volt, nem is olyan rég, egy szép világ, most már nyoma sincs a föld színén, ám, ha te jössz, meg lehet menteni, vár Spartakus, Bob, Rébecca. Úgy fáj, hogy az élet szörnyű most ott lent, várják, süssön fel a napsugár. Jöjj, vigyük el nekik a drága fényt, és újra víg dal száll.

I've been busy today and haven't been home, but I did find out that something I have been searching for, for most of my life really, was rereleased (by SBS in Australia). In beautiful condition.

For a very long time there were a few of the episodes online, and what existed was in poor quality. But no one seemingly had the full show, and any TV stations that had it seemingly were never going to rerelease it.

It had been so long with no updates or new information that I stopped checking.

And now the full 2 seasons of the English dub of Spartakus and The Sun Beneath The Sea (Les Mondes Engloutis) are on archive.org.

Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea is streaming on Apple+ Australia and SBS on demand service. It’s the English dub which is even more difficult to find than the French original (Les mondes engloutis), and considered “lost media” to some.

I honestly didn’t think it would ever be streamed intact, so to see it on Apple+ site is a shock. (Not sure if it’s actually the full series I can’t see episodes past the login barrier)

The series a trip, rare to come across, and I recommend giving it a watch if you have access. I recommend even more to set it free on the high seas for ya mateys in need.

Reminder that region locking is bullshit and this is exactly how you get pirating. I would gladly pay for a BD release, or single episode downloads, but companies always make this more difficult than it needs to be.

I love her so much you don’t understand

I’m back in my Arkana era 🥰

glad to see some fellow obscure cartoon lovers have found this post recently and are sharing their memories of growing up with this bizarro 80s french classic~

So, I just watched the first episode of Spartakus & The Sun Beneath The Sea, and it’s got this somber, kind of dreary but reverent atmosphere as it explains the history of the lost underground civilization of Arkadia and how its artificial sun (which may just be magma in fusion) is dying, and they created a messenger who looks like the forgotten people of the surface world, and on her way up to the surface, she suddenly got captured by pirates…

…who sing a song…

…about being sacred pirates…

…this show is gonna be a fucking trip, isn’t it?
