The 80's were an amazing time for cartoons and one of the finest was Ulysses 31. It tells a story similar to Homer's The Odyssey but is set in the 31st century, hence the 31. The 26 episode series is amazing and still holds up well. The introduction was especially catchy and there is a parody version of it. It’s in French but that doesn’t detract from its awesomeness.
Ulysses 31: Vengeance of the Gods- Spooky Kids TV Appreciation Month (Spooktober)
The 80's were an amazing time for cartoons and one of the finest is Ulysses 31. It tells a story similar to Homer's The Odyssey but set in the 31st century, hence the 31. The 26 part episode series is all great but the pilot episode is pretty scary, what with child kidnapping, child sacrifice and a freakin’ robotic cyclops! The music complements all this beautifully and I have spoken at length about the soundtrack before.
For those who only remember the series from the past check it out now on YouTube… it still holds up well!

Ulysses 31 Soundtrack Medley
The 80's were an amazing time for cartoons and one of the finest is Ulysses 31. It tells a story similar to Homer's The Odyssey. The series is quite dark and the story is amazing but the real standout for me was the dramatic music by Denny Crockett and Ike Egan.
Check out this phenomenal medley of Ulysses 31 tracks... it rocks!
