Notes

Classification -

Synopsis It's a fantasy adventure in which a group of children and adults includung orphan Esteban, Inca girl Zia, and Spanish adventurer Mendoza, are looking for gold in Central America, in competition with a weird lot from a hidden civilization. Starts in 1532.

Review A Japanese - French co-production that has been on TV in the UK. The RTL7 edition has American dialogue over-dubbed in Polish, so it's very easy to follow! It's a fantasy adventure in which a group of children and adults are looking for gold in Central America, in competition with a weird lot from a hidden civilization. Replete with hidden cities, Olmecs, gold aircraft and whatnot, and looks quite imaginative in that respect. Rather American in some ways. I'm not saying it's classic, (though older British, American, Australian anime fans loved it) but if you check it out you can say you've seen it...It was fully written up in one of the anime mags..Anime UK, issue 11 or 12, I think.
