In 1986, the French first discovered Cat’s Eyes, a Japanese animated series based on Tsukasa Hojo’s manga.
If the public was quickly enthralled by the adventures of the Shamadi sisters, three young women who run a cafe by day and become thieves by night to steal works of art, the opening credits of the cartoon also impressed.
“Today’s Girls / Fitness Kids / We love to laugh and dance“;”Three living panthers / who suddenly / can jump without a sound!“.
This song, which was performed by Isabel Giard at that time, is etched in the memory of an entire generation. It must be said that these few words perfectly sum up the brave and elusive spirit of the three heroes. Set to a catchy tune, the song evokes the double life of the Chamada sisters and their sense of adventure, themes that resonated with audiences in the 80s.
Almost four decades after the first broadcast of the iconic cartoon, Celia (Constance Labe), Tami (Camille Lou) and Alexia (Claire Romain) return this Monday 11 November as a live series on TF1.
In this modern adaptation, the story takes place in Paris in 2023. After years of separation, our three heroes meet again and try to solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of their father, who died ten years ago in a house fire.
In search of answers, they then begin stealing art pieces related to his past. They are very quickly captured by Quentin Chappuis (Mohamed Belkhir), the captain of the bandit repression brigade and Tami’s former love, who, of course, does not know that the woman he still loves is part of a trio of thieves.
As a new generation of viewers prepares to discover the new adventures of the suitcase sisters, fans of the iconic cartoon will be pleased to know that the iconic theme song has been reproduced.
But who sings the TF1 series theme song?
If the credits of the French series directed by Camille Lou, Constant Labe and Claire Romain are identical to the iconic cartoon, it is Anne Sylla, finalist of The Voice and winner of The Voice All Stars, who replaces the singer Isabelle Guiard. From the 80s version.
His voice brings a touch of modernity while paying homage to the original song. A perfect blend of nostalgia and renewal.
