Classic Animated TV Series Review: Carland Cross, a Belgian cartoon crime drama from 1996!

The 80s began the great years of Sunday morning cartoons, the 90s were a great cartoon year for kids, many tv series were on air with morning Sunday cartoons, like "Johnny Quest", "X-Men", "Phantom 2040", and the Japanese all time classic "Sailor Moon". With these great tv series it was understandable that there were some shows that got over looked such as "Carland Cross", a Belgian crime drama with a little Tin-Tin fantasy mystery from 1996. The show was based on the comic books from Belgium with same name, and only aired on tv from 1996 to 1997. It re-aired in Spain at 2000s.

Story:

Carland Cross, A very cold and methodical British private investigator from Baker Street in London, working alongside the police officials. He shares his investigations with his pupil, Andy White, the aristocrat fervent admirer Medwenna Simpson, and is often helped by the Superintendent Marmaduke Wingfield. Cross attempts to solve cases involving ancient ruins, forbidden regions, strange inexplicable murders, criminal Satanic curses, deserted cities and an array of unimaginable monsters. However his number one enemy Murdock is involved with all those cases, Murdock has a score to settle with England because of what Carland Cross did to his hand during the world war 1 in 1914

Overall:

Although I can see why this show was overlooked in the 90s, Carland Cross is a great animated and fun adventure to follow. It's a good mix of Sherlock Holmes and Tin-Tin mysterious, but maybe it would have been better as a movie for more older audience instead of aiming it for kids, maybe?

I reward this series with 6/10, and hopefully it gets a 2nd chance!
