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!
