Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

m-ozfirat I remember watching this fondly on ITV in the UK when it originally aired on the Children's hour on television. During that time not knowing it was originally a book by Alexander Dumas I found the show entertaining with the characters being interesting along with the story lines intertwined with good chemistry and animation. The series remains sincere to the works of Dumas to which this series introduced me to as it captivated me and was educational for children. Instead of making a spin off later in 1990 they could of made an entire series of the Dumas works with a little more episodes. The faults are few in the series. I understand the series is aimed at children but the characters could of been slightly more formal as in the classic works better represented by human characters and Juliette should of been cast as Constance because the other characters have their original names. instead of doing another season of the series they should of concluded with another Dumas classic The Count of Monte Cristo as a good successor a little later after this was completed.

Atreyu_II Also known as "Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds", this animated TV series was memorable in the lives of many people when they were children, including me.Basically it is the legendary story of D'Artagnan and the three musketeers, but because this is an animated version, it has a charm of its own and a certain nostalgia feeling I can't explain. Being an animated version, this one is naturally a version with anthropomorphic animals, in this case dogs (as you can see by its title).This is a classic animated TV series perfectly suitable for children, being charming, sweet and timeless, unlike most today's cartoons which are ugly, uninteresting, pretty violent, almost painfully noisy and often contain destructive humor. This animated TV show is from another time, a gold generation which was the very best to be a child and when everything was totally different.The opening song is absolutely adorable and timeless. Put it this way, it is a lovely song. So memorable that once you hear it, you'll never forget it for as long as you live.Although the popular story of D'Artagnan and his three musketeers is french, this is actually a Spanish production, which manages to be loyal to the french story yet has a characteristic Latin enchant, resulting in a great combination of both.D'Artacan (or Dogtanian) lives many adventures with his partners and friends (the 3 muskehounds), but he has also an original and humorous little friend: a very talkative and energetic anthropomorphic mouse that speaks with a strong Latin accent. But I can't remember the mouse's name...I always found Milady (an anthropomorphic cat) to be a strange character: very mysterious and enigmatic. She's the kind of character that at times seems to be a brief friend, but is also a troublemaker for Dogtanian as she often hypnotizes him.In conclusion: this is a cartoon to have fond memories of.

bigwig_thalyi this is the sort of cartoon that you love as a child but when you see it through adult eyes you realise that while you may still be fond of it,it should remain in the rosy land of childhood memoriesThe animation is good but it's nothing special.The characters are more cuddly than daring,as they were in the books.Dogtanian is still feisty and headstrong but as this is a children's cartoon they had to remove his amourous nature. For most of the series the cartoon stays amazingly close to the books and it's only in the concluding episodes that it strays a little This cartoon starts off strongly but towards the end of it's mammoth 26 episodes it starts to get weaker and you are willing it to finish. In conclusion, watch it if you are heavily into childhood nostalgia or you want to show it to your kids ,otherwise leave it to the memories of childhood.Only for the very young. 6out of 10 rating.

mygreatness321 I have fond memories of this show, the animation was a bit patchy but that never seemed to matter too much. The theme tune was superb and was accompanied by dogs barking to it in the background! Obviously the idea of using Dogs as characters wore a little thin on the creators as only 'Dogtanian' got a doggy name while the rest of the characters got the names they had in the Dumas book. They also extended every aspect of the book as far as they could go, I don't know how many episodes there were but it was a lot and when you consider that the film faithfully reproduced the book in 2 hours this was perhaps overkill. Anyway, still a lot of fun.
