Brain Bubble: Monkeys Violating The Heavenly Temple (My Mind is The Temple)
On occasion, my mind wanders back to that Tails solo-game on the old SEGA Game Gear system. You do know the one, right?
When I do so, I think about the lad himself. His jaunty walk cycle, to be specific. His jolly, not-a-care-in-the-world, confident yet adorable, serotonin-producing strut.
That walk.
The memory of such occurrence brings me back in time even further, back to a period when I would sit in front of the television, tune in on a future defunct channel that would constantly play older Japanese animated series imported to my country a decade before my birth.
On occasion, I would see a certain jolly, not-a-care-in-the-world, confident yet adorable strut.
And I would get my serotonin.
But enough of me deconstructing my own autistic brain!
What you just witnessed was the closing sequence for Gokū no Daibōken, a TV adaptation of Xiyou ji (also known as Saiyuki or Journey to the West), one of the most renowned Chinese literary works. The anime was produced by Osamu Tezuka's Mushi Production in 1967 and then localized for the Italian market by SINCROVOX in 1980. What you just watched (and heard) was indeed the Italian sigla, an original composition played over the end credits sequence. We've had plenty of those, back in the day.
As an aside, this show was simply known as The Monkey during our local TV run. It came to us during the Anime Boom of 1978-83, along with hundreds of other series. Many of which would include plenty of Tatsunoko IPs, Doraemon and its many clones, other Tezuka series and every Super Robot anime under the sun.
If you are more curious about the subject, there is an ancient podcast of mine in which I go into more detail on the key figure responsible for it. Spoilers: the whole story somehow involves that infamous animated Titanic film. No, not the rapping dog one, The Other One.
Anyway, I simply wanted to share with you a primordial memory of my childhood, a weird random thought that spiraled out of control - as it's wont to do. Indubitably, you must be feeling enriched by the experience. I might post more of these unstructured brain bubbles in the future as a way to get my mental juices flowing if I can't be bothered to write full articles or essays.
To summarize: this monkey lives in my head and he does not pay rent.
Oh my, Orlando Corradi's knock-off Disney Titanic! The one made partially in North Korea and co-directed by a North Korean! The one which had a sequel! And it's not even the most off-kilter Disney knock-off the man and his company did! They had a Lion King rip-off series that is also a direct sequel to their earlier Jungle Book/Mowgli series, which ended being correct on existence of lions in India purely by accident. I just grew up with Mondo TV's cartoons, and while they do have genuinely good Saturday morning cartoon adaptations of various things, most of their repertoire is just ridiculous, wild and mostly visibly cheap Disney rip-offs and way less ridiculous but still cheap animated Bible adaptations. Man, even remembering some of the serials needs a "I kid you not" disclaimer...
I love when people combine things into one continuity by brute force. (Which is not the same as saying I love the things that are the result of them doing that.)

Team Yume Podcast: "The Legend of the Italian Disney"
Devar lends his dumbfounded ear as Madhog explains how "The Legend of the Titanic" is inexplicably connected with the distribution of Japanese animations in Italy - don't worry, it will all make sense in context. This episode discusses: "Simba the King Lion", Orlando Corradi and Mondo TV, the 1978's Italian Anime Boom, "Secret of Mana", the basic appeal and gameplay philosophy of the "Animal Crossing" franchise, "The Good Place", "Erma" and so much more.
