Qu'un souvenir d'enfant (A remembrance of a child) C'est un coin de bleu (This is a corner of the blue)
Dans l'univers des grands (In the large universe)
Oui, ça va plus loin (Yes it goes further)
Que le bonheur du jour (That the happiness of the day)
Belle et Sébastien (Belle & Sebastien)
C'est une histoire d'amour (It is a story of love)
À dormir ensemble et à grandir ensemble (To sleep together & to grow together) Dans les mêmes jeux, un jour on se ressemble On court les chemins et on apprend le chien On lèche une main et on apprend l'humain
C'est comme un poème Vieux comme le temps Un poème qui se nomme L'enfant qui caresse La toison de laine Du meilleur ami de l'homme
Oui ce monde-là n'est pas seulement le nôtre Belle et Sébastien existent l'un pour l'autre Tout serait plus simple et tout irait bien mieux Sur notre planète si on s'aimait comme eux
Un enfant et son chien C'est banal, c'est presque rien Mais la vie tourne bien Avec Belle et Sébastien

When you meet a brand new friend, It opens up a world. A world whose brightness never ends, It opens up the world.
There are rainbows to be found there, If you just take a look around there, Making brand new friends.
So that the shining light in every face, It shines for all to see. To make the world a brighter place, Rainbow Brite and me.
So that the shining light in every face, It shines for all to see. To make the world a brighter place, Rainbow Brite and me.
Denver, the last dinosaur, He's my friend and a whole lot more. Denver, the last dinosaur, Shows me a world I never saw before.
Denver, the last dinosaur, Shows me a world I never saw before.
Everywhere we go, we don't really care, If people stop and stare at our pal dino. Creating history thru the rock n' roll spotlight, We've got a friend who helps us, we can do alright.
That's Denver, the last dinosaur, He's my friend and a whole lot more. Denver, the last dinosaur, Shows me a world I never saw before.
In a distant time And far away place, The planet New Texas floats deep in space. Sky of three suns, Land of precious ore, The Kerium brought outlaws by the score.
Bravestarr! Bravestarr!
Then one day, a lawman appeared With powers of hawk, wolf, puma and bear. Protecter of peice, mystic man from afar, Champion of justice, Marshall Bravestarr!
Bravestarr! BRAVESTARR! Eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolf!
Bravestarr! BRAVESTARR! Strength of the bear, speed of the puma!
I watched this cartoon of the 90's and enjoyed it back then. I remember that is has a nice theme song as well. It didn't take me long to find this video on YouTube but it was hell difficult to find the lyrics to the song.
After many Google searches, I gave up and decided to decipher the lyrics myself. However, there are some parts of the song where I couldn't figure out the words.
Finally I got a clue from the tags of the YouTube video and realised that part of the lyrics were actually the names of the Sky Dancer themselves! Too bad there is still one sentence that I still can't make out. I'll leave it for now till I figure it out later (found that out thanks to a reader's comments!).
Song Lyrics:
Way up in the sky, there are creatures that fly Way up high, sky high! The Skydancers arrive, the Skydancers arrive! Jade, Carmille, Angelica, Slam and Breeze!
When Queen Skyla calls, They just magically transform Into savers of the sky!
The Sky Dancers arrive, the Sky Dancers arrive! Jade, Carmille, Angelica, Slam and Breeze! Sky Dancers!

Song lyrics: Once upon a dream I think I lived inside a fairy tale. When someone great was lost, when some dark void was crossed, And I was tossed in my sleep.
And did I see a magic horse called Wildfire, or was just a dream? Wildfire, Wildfire!
Deep within my mind, so tell what I find or what I might become, If I could go where the dreams come from, If I could go when the dreams would run wild,
Wildfire, Wildfire!
Cool, I’m so happy to finally locate a YouTube video of this great 80’s cartoon, “Wildfire”. In Singapore, it was only shown on Malaysian TV3 which was not available to every Singaporean household. However I was lucky enough to have that channel during my childhood and I caught this cartoon while it was showing back then. It was also one of the earliest times I was exposed to the theme of “death” in a cartoon.
I loved horses since I was a child but as I got older, I found the My Little Pony cartoons too geared towards a younger audience to really enjoy them. Then “Wildfire” came along and I enjoyed it. Too bad it only lasted one season. It was only years later that I found this “Wildfire” website where I got to refresh my memory of this magical horse cartoon.
From my hazy memory without referring to online research, this is what I recall about “Wildfire”:
“There was magical kingdom called Darshan in another dimension where the horses were very colorful and they could talk. Darshan was ruled by a queen who was cursed by her evil step/half sister (who wanted the throne) soon after the former married.
One year later after the queen gave birth to a princess, she died from the curse. Before she passed on, the queen instructed her trusted steed, Wildfire to take the baby princess to her father on earth. Apparently the father didn’t remember his past either (due to some circumstances) but he adopted and raised the baby princess till she was about 10 years old.
Then one day, Wildfire appeared to the young princess from the magic portal in the sky and told her about her identity. From then on whenever Darshan was in trouble stirred up by the princess’ evil aunt, Wildfire would indicate his intention to come and fetch the princess from earth whenever her horse amulet glowed. Together with their allies in Darshan, Wildfire and the princess would defeat her evil aunt and her minions over and over again in every episode…”
Here’s the most detailed website I can find so far that is dedicated to “Wildfire”. I think this is a cartoon series that appeals mostly to viewers who love horses and things magical.
I have never heard of the My Little Pony theme song in other languages other than in English. I know that many other cartoons such as JEM, have their theme songs dubbed into many international languages and I have heard most of them. However I did not think of listening to those of My Little Pony.
This video shows a montage of “Rescue At Midnight Castle” to the Italian theme song. This song uses a tune that is totally different from the English versions that I am so used to. I absolutely love this Italian version as it has such a happy and catchy beat to it. It definitely cheers me up whenever I listen to it.
The English meanings to the Italian lyrics are literal translations done by a MLP fan. I don't have the translations for the second verse. If you understand Italian, I'll appreciate if you could help in the translations of those lyrics and go through the rest of the translations if required, thank you! Enjoy the song and video!
Song Lyrics:
Tu voli in alto lassù (You fly so high up there) Dove il cielo è più blu(Where the sky is so blue) Dolce mio mini pony. (My sweet little pony) E poi planare saprai (And then you glide down) Più leggero che mai (Lighter than ever) Là dove tu vorrai. (Wherever you want)
Voli con agilità (Flights with agility) Per il cielo azzurro vai (For the blue sky you go) Porti la felicità ovunaue arriverai (You carry happiness everywhere you go)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
E nei miei sogni lo sai, Tu da me arriverai
Dolce mio mini Pony.(My sweet little pony) Io già ti vedo lassù Dove il cielo è più blu
Adesso arrivi tu.
Voli con agilità (Flights with agility) Per il cielo azzurro vai (For the blue sky you go) Porti la felicità ovunaue arriverai (You carry happiness everywhere you go)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
Vola, (Fly!) Vola, vola! (Fly, fly!)
Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Vola mio mini pony vai (Fly, My Little Pony, Go!) Vola mio mini pony (Fly, My Little Pony) Quante avventure tu vavrai (How many adventures you will live)
Okay I've not heard this memorable cartoon theme song for years, until I searched for it recently on YouTube.
One thing about this cartoon is that I remember finding the 'mummy' villain rather scary to look at. I had to sometimes look away for a second when he appeared on screen. He actually looked not as scary when he transformed to his 'more powerful' muscular mode.
When the DVD set was released in the stores here in Singapore a few years back, I baulked at the price. It was over SGD 100.00 for the box set! Luckily the other cartoon DVD sets that I collect are not that highly priced.
Song lyrics:
Lion-o: Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats, Ho!
Thundercats are on the move, Thundercats are loose! Feel the magic, hear the roar, Thundercats are loose!
I'm happy to find this video on Voltron's transformation sequence that takes place in every episode.
Voltron usually takes on the 'weekly' monsters as 5 separate robot lions first. If that 'fails' (which always happens, if not Voltron won't appear), then the 5 drivers form Voltron to resume the fight.
About the transformation 'speed': Some comments on YouTube mentioned that before the transformation sequence is over, the monster would have struck. I personally think that the transformation sequence is supposed to be very fast and bright but as viewers, we get to see it in detail.
My Voltron-inspired childhood dream: As a kid, I loved the idea of driving the lion robots that I imagined the closest I could ever do something similar is to drive a real car. Hence I eagerly looked foward to the day I came of age to drive.
When I finally picked up my driving license many years back, I still remembered my childhood dream of driving a Voltron lion! Even today while behind the driving wheel, I sometimes think about Voltron!
Anyway, here is the memorable transformation sequence once more, enjoy!
Transformation Script:
Keith: Ready to form Voltron! Activate interlock! Dynotherms connected! Infracells up! Mega thrusters are go!
All: GO VOLTRON FORCE!
Keith: Form feet and legs! Form arms and body! And I'll form the head!
There were 2 versions of Voltron cartoons that I came across in the 80's. One of it featured Voltron as a mighty robot formed by multiple smaller space vehicles. The other which is more famous, was where Voltron was formed by 5 different colored robot lions!
I definitely preferred the latter and I would turn off the TV if the former was being shown instead (I found the former rather boring, and maybe because I much preferred 'animals').
To think back, I find the plot for both Voltron cartoon series rather 'thin', as in not much depth. It was basically the 'ancestor' cartoon that inspired the rise of the "Power Rangers" TV series since the 90s (till now).
The drivers of the 5 robot lions, based on my memory are as follows:
Black Lion - Keith(leader, wears red uniform, I think he's the love interest of Princess Allura)
Red Lion - Lance (wears blue uniform, can't remember much about him)
Blue Lion - Princess Allura (wears pink uniform, she looks 'weak' and like a typical distressed damsel in her princess outfit, but quickly switches into 'warrior behaviour' when in Voltron uniform)
Yellow Lion - Hunk (wears dark yellow or light orange uniform, large bulky guy)
Green Lion - Pidge (wears green uniform, young little nerdy spectacled guy)
Simple Plot: Voltron defends the planet Arus, where Princess Allura's kingdom is located.
Every week, the villains: King Zarkon, his son Prince Lotor, and a witch named Haggar (who are all from another planet), would conjure up giant monsters to defeat Voltron and conquer Arus. Of course, every week they fail. Sometimes, Voltron needs '2 weeks' to defeat the more powerful monsters.
I distinctly remember Prince Lotor has a liking for Princess Allura, so half the reason for conquering her planet was to have her as his bride or something like that. Of course she detests him.
Many of the episodes involve Princess Allura getting captured or held hostage by Prince Lotor. Her teammates had to go and rescue her, partly because she's their friend and comrade, and partly because the team needed her to form Voltron.
Intro Script:
From days of long ago, From unchartered regions Of the universe, Comes a legend. The legend of Voltron: Defender of the Universe! A mighty robot, Loved by good, Feared by evil.
As Voltron's legend grew, Peace settled across the galaxy. On Planet Earth, A Galaxy Alliance was formed. Together with the good planets Of the solar system, They maintained peace Throughout the universe, Until a new horrible menace Threatened the galaxy.
Voltron was needed once more. This is the story Of a super force of space explorers. Specially trained, And sent by the Alliance, To bring back Voltron: Defender of the Universe!
While searching for the video of "The Last Unicorn" on YouTube last week, I came across this one and bookmarked it.
This custom made video of "The Last Unicorn" incorporates many of the most memorable and exciting scenes from the movie. Enjoy!
Song Lyrics:
When the last eagle flies Over the last crumbling mountain. And the last lion roars At the last dusty fountain. In the shadow of the forest, Though she may be old and worn, They will stare unbelieving, At the Last Unicorn.
When the first breath of winter Through the flowers is icing And you look to the north And the pale moon is rising And it seems like all is dying And would leave the world to mourn In the distance hear the laughter Of the Last Unicorn!
I’m alive, I’m alive!
When the last moon is cast Over the last star of morning. And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through The clouds have had their sport Look and see her how she sparkles It’s the Last Unicorn!
This cartoon movie's a classic! I enjoyed watching it as a kid. Around 10 years ago at the start of the internet era, my friend sent me this song and it stirred up our memories of this childhood cartoon. We also found the lyrics back then and I've kept it till now.
Then when I got the DVD a few years ago and re-watched the movie, I found the pace a bit slow for the children today, who are used to computer games speed. However, "The Last Unicorn" will always have a place in the hearts of its many fans around the world, many of whom I believe are the children of the 80's.
Observe how the illustrators blend in the lovely unicorn and the introduction scenes into a tapestry background, simply a fine work of art! The cartoon illustration style back then was very much different from those of today. I think few viewers would appreciate it, unless of course you're a fan.
Song Lyrics:
When the last eagle flies Over the last crumbling mountain. And the last lion roars At the last dusty fountain. In the shadow of the forest, Though she may be old and worn, They will stare unbelieving, At the Last Unicorn.

The most memorable part of this cartoon was this 'non-kiddy' song called "Run With Us" that was always played with the ending credits after each episode ended.
Then when dowloading songs from the internet became popular and easily accessible in the early years of the internet, this was 1 of the first songs that I searched for.
Now with YouTube, I've found the song again, and with a music video with screen shots from "The Raccoons" too for both auditory and visual entertainment!
According to the YouTube user, "Run With Us" & "Stop The Clock" are performed by Lisa Lougheed, and written by Kevin Gillis, Jon Stroll and Stephen Lunt. "The Raccoons" is owned by Evergreen Raccoon Marketing Inc.
For me, I only focus on enjoying the song and video!
"Run With Us" Song Lyrics:
When darkness falls, leaving shadows in the night, Don't be afraid, wipe that fear from your eyes. If a desperate love, keeps on driving you wrong, Don't be afraid, you're not alone.
Chorus: You can run with us, we've got everything you need. Run with us, we are free! C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes, Run with us!
When the cold wind blows, turn your collar to the cold. Don't be ashamed, if you need someone to hold. If you're sinking in quicksand, and it's dragging you down, And you feel you're going under, we'll be around.
Chorus: You can run with us, we've got everything you need. Run with us, we are free! C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes, Run with us!
(Short instrumental break)
When you're behind closed doors, all alone by yourself, And you're longing inside, to be somebody else. You pick up the telephone, and there's no one on the line, Don't be afraid, 'cause there's still time.
Chorus: You can run with us, we've got everything you need. Run with us, we are free! C-C-C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes, Run with us! Uh oh uh...
Run with us, we've got everything you need. Run with us, we are free! C-Come with us, I see passion in your eyes, Run with us! Uh oh uh... Run with us!
Frankly speaking, I love the theme song of Gummi Bears more than the cartoon itself. I used to catch it every week when I a kid, just to listen to the theme song. Then I'd watch the cartoon because it followed the song.
Overall, Gummi Bears is an enjoyable cartoon but I usually preferred cartoons with humans as the main characters than animals. But this one's considered a classic of that era!
Song Lyrics:
Dashing and daring, courageous and caring, Faithful and friendly, with stories to share. All through the forest, they sing out in chorus, Marching along as their song fills the air!
Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare, They are the Gummi Bears!
Magic and mystery are part of their history, Along with the secret of Gummi Berry juice. Their legend is growing, they take pride in knowing, They fight for what's right in whatever they do!
Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare, They are the Gummi Bears! They are the Gummi Bears!
I still enjoy listening to this energic and youthful sounding theme song from the 80's cartoon called Heathcliff. I can't really recall much about the storyline, except that it's a story about a group of alley cats and their adventures.
Nevertheless, here's the video, plus the song lyrics. I got the lyrics from surfing the internet and I can't guarantee if they're accurate. There are some parts of the song where I can't make out the words to verify. But they're still good enough to sing along with the video!
Song Lyrics:
Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should Terrify their neighborhood. But Heathcliff just won’t be undone, Playing pranks on everyone.
There’s a race to be on top, The competition doesn’t stop. Mixing it with the ladies man, Being charming debonair.
The gang will rein supreme, And no one can deny-ny-ny-ny. They’ll make some history, And always have an alibi-i.
So join in the jubilee, The cats are great, they’ll all agree. You’ll find in each calamity, The cat’s superiority.
So far on this blog, I've been gathering and consolidating YouTube videos that feature the theme songs of my favourite cartoons from the 80's. I have had this collection of YouTube videos bookmarked in my browser for a while, and I thought I'd share them with like-minded visitors.
It'll will take a while post the list here. You can also search for these cartoon videos on YouTube yourself but the quality of the videos there varies. Hence I've chosen the best ones I could find, with reasonably clear picture quality and audio that is audible enough for sufficient enjoyment.
There are many more passionate cartoon fans out there and it clearly shows in their efforts of making nostalgic videos like this one to share with everyone.
This video's close to 30min long and will take a while to load completely.
I noted down the list of cartoons featured and here they are as follows in this order:
He-Man & the Masters of the Universe She-Ra Princess of Power Inpector Gadget (I didn't watch this) GhostBusters (I didn't watch this version) The Real GhostBusters BraveStarr Heathcliff & Marwaduke (I didn't watch this) Heathcliff (I love the theme song & the screen shots, especially the typewriter part!) Gilligan's Planet (I didn't watch this) Voltron (5 lions version) Mighty Orbots (I didn't watch this) Danger Mouse (I only watched a bit of this) DuckTales Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers The Littles (I didn't watch this) Pac-Man (I didn't watch this) Captain N the Game Master (I didn't watch this) Super Mario Brothers Super Show (I didn't watch this) The Legend of Zelda (I didn't watch this) Thundarr the Babarian (I didn't watch this) G.I.Joe (I only watched a bit of this) Transformers I & II (I only watched a bit of these, not a robots fan) Challenge of the Gobots (I didn't watch this) Beetlejuice (I didn't watch this) Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles The Charlie Brown Show Dungeons and Dragons (I didn't watch this) Blackstar (I didn't watch this)
There were definitely many more 80's cartoons that I used to watch and are not featured here. I think not all the above cartoons were shown in Singapore back then.
Overall, many of the 80's cartoons had very catchy theme songs which are still well remembered by their fans today. I'll always remember the tunes of The Real Ghostbusters, Heathcliff, DuckTales, Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, plus endless more. The songs have become classics in the minds of children of the 80's like me.
These children of the 80's then become the target markets of the DVD re-releases of the 80's cartoons, and they gladly buy the DVDs for nostalgic reasons. For me, I already own the DVD volumes of JEM & She-Ra!

Everyone's very festive and merry, Everything's going full swing! My Little Pony, My Little Pony, Aren't you happy it's spring? Aren't you happy it's spring?
Come to where the magic is, where the rainbow ends, Follow, follow My Little Pony, My Little Pony 'n Friends!
