Mysterious Cities of Gold : Golden condor flies

The first minute of music is actually from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

The music is eerily similar to Vangelis.

This is why cartoons from the 80s will always be the best.

This music is very powerful, when l had a challenge go my way l'm always reminded of this background music knowing that I've succeeded.

Original série is french

"We're gonna crash, but let's put it to a vote!" XD

The music is very Tangerine Dream. So beautiful. A mixture of childhood memories and nostalgia.

Thanks to you tube I found out that I am not the only one with the same thoughts and emotions - this cartoon was the best and I don't like the next season 2 - I don't want to watch - it would be great if a movie ever came out of the citys in the style such as Tintin Peter Jackson .

Def alien tech

People here commenting about this show being a big part of their childhood - this show WAS my childhood! Watching it now at 47 years old made me tear up with nostalgia. Takes me back to a time when I was young, idealistic and carefree. Before growing up and all the complicated adult responsibilities and emotional/psychological baggage. It's bittersweet because I'd love to be that boy again, but I know it is impossible.

Fucking Mendoza!

They just don't make them like this anymore most of the stuff these days is garbage.

Yeah I remember this. The music is SPECTACTULAR when the condor arms. The blessing in this is the kids (Tia, Estaban and Tao (who I always thought was pronounced Towel haah) have a good old chuckle bring back happy memories of my childhood. These 3 kids were my favourite TV kids :)

Gamer-changer moment of the series...

Tau is so rude!!

I get chills everytime i watch this and hear the music, it reminds me of my childhood, i would run home from school to catch the next episode and we would all talk about it at school the next day.

Who's watching this during quarantine ?

I loved this show. It still brings back childhood feelings even now. It doesn't seem to have suffered over time either.

I remember when I first saw this scene! It was so magical, and it still is today as an adult more than 30 years later!

The music took me back in time, and brought a pleasant smile to my face.

I'm 13 and I remember watching this as a 5 year old . It brings back memories.

When I take a maiden voyage into space for the first time.. I'm taking this song with me.

If I remember correctly, the Golden Condor could be controlled manually?

Thanks man

At least 1 person who watched this turned out to be a better person than if they had not
It's made for the soul

This is a mother fuckin classic right here💯🤑👁️🛸🚀👽🍻🥳🤯. We should all be driving the golden condors of our dreams

Incredible, I get goosebumps watching this after something like 30 years. I remember the same feeling when Esteban inserted the disc and the music kicked in.

Music by New Order...

My childhood revisited

The music for this show is so good from the theme song from the beginning credits and the end credits to the instrumental with the synths when the golden condor flies up in the air. I just absolutely love all of it.

I always wanted an aircraft in the shape of a giant bird, it would look amazing

the most incredible cartoon series ever made in my opinion

Note how lucky they were to have Zia with them…

That’s some DEEP tremolo! When I was a kid my jaw dropped….

The music at the beginning sounds like what was used in He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe. If I recall that was the case for some of it too.

Who drives big condors with 10 people's volcanoes new saves the day

Look at estbans shiver it's his trademark shiv

estabans solo he rkns but look theres a groupés

golden mercedes condor, he doesn't trek around to look cities but still missions, he does watch these missions

Without a doubt one of the most uplifting days of my childhood. Watching this and then going to school next day excited to discuss with my friends. Did the 80s get much better for a kid?

I used to drive my family mad as a kid as I always played this theme on the piano 😂

It's... just... beautiful.

The chills going down my spine are many,
more than I can ever get with anything else.
They really don't make them like this any more.

I had Shazamed the song before to see if its on Apple music. It didn’t come up. Just a few days ago I was watching this episode on Amazon Prime and I Shazamed it again. NOW it is on Apple music. But the soundtrack is under its original French name, Les Mystérieuses Cités D’or! By a group called Le Groupe Apollo. This song is Track 18 on the album. Both opening theme songs are on the album, French and English.

This cartoon, not available in Malaysia tv..why

What if sir Francis drake find the
Big bird

I watched this in the 80s on Nickelodeon. I was devastated when they stopped showing it. Back then once a show was off a station you likely wouldn't see it again unless you taped it on vhs or they released a vhs copy. I'm sure it was on VHS somewhere, but not where I lived and no internet back then to order it.

😊❤

Now imagine the civilisation that built this. The condor was a pleasure craft, like a hang-glider, unsuitable for freight or warfare.

I've gotta let my 80s friends on here know that the whole series is on prime. Best £15 I've ever spent. I truly adore this series. Greetings fellow cog lovers. ✌️
