Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

nailsfan I used to watch this show as a kid in the late 80's on ABC on 'The Afternoon Show'. Decades later I searched 'golden condor' as I couldn't remember much about the show except for this golden condor/bird image in my head... I found the show with its correct title and even watched the opening on you tube (which I found I could still sing along to - almost 25 years later) For me, the theme song is the highlight and the show itself is not really how I remembered it - but I was just a kid at the time. If you have not watched this show as a kid it may be hard to get into with its aged animation and odd characters. I must admit I do still enjoy watching a lot of kids shows and animations and this one will always hold a special place in my childhood memories.

online-124 This is not only entertaining but educational as well without the kids knowing!The cartoon was very entertaining and right at the end contained a 3 minute mini documentary of what you just saw of the real facts about their travels.Kids today only see random crap, but back in the 70's and 80's animations were fantastic. I saw this on our ABC on the afternoon after school and was good then and better now!If you have kids you should get a copy!Definitely worth watching and great to FINALLY see it on DVD!!

DrLex This is one of those TV series that has "quality" written all over it. I remember immediately being hooked on as a kid from the moment I saw the intro for the first time. This intro on itself is a nice example of how well this series was conceived. It starts out with a spectacular descent from outer space towards the ruin of a Maya temple and further down to the core of Earth, accompanied by a voice which tells of an amazing mystery. Then the catchy theme song starts, while we get a preview of the main characters and some key elements of the story, some of which would only appear after a dozen episodes.In short, this animated series has excellent animation, excellent voice acting, an excellent musical score, and an excellent story based on a historical setting but with lots of fantasy elements that will stir the interest of any child. I had probably never developed the same interest in history if I hadn't watched this series. Moreover, every episode was originally accompanied by a short documentary which connected some of the (semi-)fictional events or sites in the story to real-world counterparts. Unfortunately these documentaries were not aired in every country.The series originated from a French-Japanese cooperation, a concept that would produce several other high-quality animated series around the same time period. It appears that the Japanese, French and English versions were produced by the same quality standards, because they all are top-notch. It's a shame that there currently is no official DVD release of the English version. The only way to get it, is to look for unofficial releases, reconstructed from the video stream of the official French release and audio tracks from old VCR recordings. Apparently it's unclear who owns the rights to the English master tapes. Although not widely known, this series is a monument in TV history and deserves a better treatment.

doherty-elle This is my opinion is the greatest most imaginative cartoons ever made, as an X generation child of the eighties I watched this series religiously; From the start of Esteban's Journey from Barcelona to the seven cities of gold in the newly-discovered Americas, I was entranced from the word go; a beautifully intricate story about Esteban an Incan boy raised as a Spaniard on his quest to find his father and his people. His guardian is Mendoza; a navigator who takes responsibility for the boy and his friends Zia and Tao as he knows all three children are connected somehow...The only proof are the mystical medallions that both Esteban and Zia wear. But as with all mercenaries and sailors of this period in history his intentions are not above suspicion. This cartoon was intelligent and educational and put it rather simply...Mindblowing! The ugly history of conquest is child-friendly but it's still makes for an interesting lesson with the tragedy of the Incan race and man's weaknesses such as greed and power, it's probably down to this that Eldorado became my favourite myth! All of It; the music, the story, the golden condor the jaw-dropping finale makes it a crime for this series to be forgotten!
