The Mysterious Cities Of Gold

“Aaaaah! Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaah! One day we will find, the Ciiities of Gold!” Today is that day. Essentially one epic feature film split into 39 episodes, this French/Japanese adventure sees young orphan Esteban set sail with Spanish explorers in search of the treasure – and his lost father. Powered by an incredible ambient soundtrack (and the mightiest intro theme ever), the story slowly evolves from gripping historical realism into mystic sci-fi as our heroes find a lost civilisation with fantastical technology en route to a truly cataclysmic finale. Its depth, intelligence and Ghibliesque artwork are even clearer to adult eyes – meaning this is way more than a cult nostalgia kick.
