Every generation since the 1960s and the advent of televisions in most French homes knows its youth programs that wowed children. We can quote Bonne nuit les petits for the 1960s, when the bear came in the evening to tell stories to two children, Nicolas and Pimprenelle.
One of the flagship programs for young people of the next decade was undoubtedly L’île aux enfants and its big, friendly orange monster Casimir. The 80’s also offered cartoons to a whole generation that still fondly remembers these many adventures forty years later.
And credits, which were an integral part of these cathode masses, have something to do with it. Some of them have survived the decades and still resonate today. For example, we can recall the brilliant song that opened Les Mysterieuses cités d’or. Composed by Shuky Levy and Haim Shaban with lyrics by Jacques Cardona, it plunged us into the cartoon Andean atmosphere with its typical instruments such as the pan flute accompanied by children’s choirs.
We find the same composers, but in a completely different register, for the crazy title of Inspector Gadget, which gave the cartoon a comic tone with its skipping rhythm, and Jacques Cardona personally on vocals. Even today, the famous tune, probably inspired by this famous air, used in several dramatic scenes of the cinema, K.Ing of Mountain Hall by composer Edvard Grieg in Peer Gynt.
With this new quiz, we’re going to delve back into some of the most famous credits from the 80s. It is up to you to find out which one they are with the help of a simple sentence from their texts.
