    Well they are primarily European tales of various origin translated to Japanese, and then back to English.

    Foreign animation was common back then as it was cheap to buy and then just very sloppily dubbed. Most dubs up until probably around 2000 are famously low quality and bad acting because animation wasn’t treated as something anything but elementary school kids watched.

    Nowadays it’s pretty good and some dubs are equal or in a handful of cases better than the original voice casts. But this show is definitely not, it’s just something fun I remember from when I was small.

      Funny. At the same time we had master peace of dubbling in France. A few weird things because the adaptation didn’t always fully grasp the cultural context but a lot of artistic liberty as well.

        I couldn’t name much off the top of my head, but I feel the US got a lot of French animation during the time. I can recognize the style better now as an adult. Stuff like Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea.

          I search I search but almost every interesting french show I found that would have export in the US are from 2000/2007. The older one I remember are all Japanese (Olive et Tom, Jeanne et Serge, Princesse Sarah, Goldorak, Ken le Survivant, Cat’s eyes, …)

            It took me some time to get to look at your list, but I do recognize Olive et Tom (Captain Tsubasa) and Ken le Survivant (Fist of the North Star).

            I miss that period’s art style, but colors are so much better today.
