Les Mystérieuses Cités d'Or

This is a Fabrice's childhood cartoon, that we use on this web to classify our featured articles.

The ability to access the episodes from the Internet (this was ca. 2003) was one of the exciting phases of my interaction with this network, gaining the feel of accessibility, of the possibility to find and retrieve things that, before that, were to remain always out of reach. It allowed me to see episodes which I hadn't seen as a child, being, of course, disappointed by the ending and also experiencing how the evolution of tastes make the recourse to memories a futile attempt.
