Mysterious Cities of Gold

Run for the hills!

About Me

"From all over Europe, great ships sail west to conquer the New World, the Americas. The men eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries, to find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun which leads to El Dorado, and the Mysterious Cities of Gold..."

The Mysterious Cities of Gold was created as a collaboration between a French production company and Japanese animators. Consisting of 39 beautifully animated 20 minute episodes, the story followed the adventures of three extraordinary children who are accompanied by a Spanish Navigator and two sailors. Beginning in the year 1532, the travelers search the New World for the Cities of Gold and find many amazing machines including the solar powered ship Solaris and the Golden Condor.

The Characters:
Esteban

"I'm called Esteban. But when you ask for somebody's name its more polite to tell them your own name first!"
"You're all mad! All of you!!! Whoever gave you the idea that I could make the sun come out!?!"
"After your explanation, I think I know how important these medallions are. I know how dangerous they are too."
"No, not given up hope exactly but... I only mean that even if I never do find my father, I'm happy to travel the same roads he once did."

Zia

"Esteban, Child of the Sun, is here with me. I am not afraid of anything!"
"Everything he says is right! Put up your swords, I beg you! We must stop these stupid wars and learn to live with each other in peace!"

Tao

"I just know that this is going to be a great stroke of genius!"
"Ah-ha, so I guessed right!"
"Let's go back and do it all over again. It was fun!"

Mendoza

"That great seaman, the commander Magellan, taught me everything I know about navigation. He took me on his first voyage to the unknown. I have always remembered what he said, 'Go ahead and set sail then keep your eyes wide open'."
"I can understand why my attitude may surprise you. At the beginning, when I first found Esteban and he agreed to come with me on this adventure, I thought of nothing except the gold. I thought that as soon as I discovered where the Cities of Gold were, I wouldn't need the children anymore. But we have all been together for so long. I began to get used to their being around. Used to helping them, to being close to them and now I think that if they weren't here...I'm sure I would miss them."
