Carmen Sandiego Season 3 Trailer Drops

Carmen Sandiego is the amazing recently rebooted animated series on Netflix based on the older IP which gained prominence for many with the early 90s cartoon and 80’s point and click adventure games. With the new series I really loved season 1 for its stunning animation and creative heists and thought season 2 brought a lot more lore into the world.

Now the trailer for season 3 has dropped and I am so excited. Netflix is knocking it out of the park at the moment and alongside Hilda, this is my favourite animated series on the streaming site… that’s quite a statement for an animation aficionado like me.

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors Track List Revealed

"Go, Jayce, conqueror from afar, look for your father ..."

And with these words Jayce and the lightning league battled the Monster Minds and Saw Boss for 65 episodes. Produced by the hilariously named (at least I thought at the time) DIC studios and overseen by Jean Chalopin (of Mysterious Cities of Gold, Ulysses 31, Inspector Gadget and tonnes of other formative cartoons from the 80s) the show was grand and cheesy operatic drama and a big part of this was due to the epic music, created by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban.

The soundtrack for the series has never been released… until now. Tele 80 has crowdfunded the OST for a September release on CD and Vinyl. There is a delay due to Covid but the soundtrack should be released in October now. However, Tele 80 has released a track list and it looks pretty good- not as comprehensive as the 35th anniversary Ulysses 31 release but it’s a good start.

Official Moomins YouTube Channel Showing Classic 90s Show

I have a deep love for the Moomins as many of you may know. I've discussed the Moomins multiple times before, either when talking about the 80s stop motion animation, the exhibition at the Southbank Centre or even when reviewing the new Moominvalley series.

The Moomins are beloved characters created by the Finnish artist and storyteller, Tove Jansson. I am a huge fan of the creatures and with the recent release of the Moominvalley series, the Official Moomin YouTube page has launched with behind the scenes interviews with casts, creatives and other people involved in the production of the wonderful series.

However, the real jewel in the crown for this channel is that it is slowly releasing episodes of the wildly popular Adventures From Moominvalley animation from the 90s. It was this series, more than any previous one, that brought the Moomins worldwide fame. Check it out as at the time of writing the first 3 episodes are available to watch in high quality.

I never really watched the show in the 90s as I was going through my Edge Lord manga and anime phase… but watching it many years after the fact, it is quite lovely and gentle!
