unforgettable and highly influential cartoon
19 December 2016
We as children dreamed of being somewhat like the characters in their independent, strength, and heroism. This series have influenced many people I grew up with watching in both good and bad ways. First seeing Conan or Adnan strengths, diving and swimming abilities encouraged us in becoming athletic, outgoing, adventurist children who got themselves in a lot of fun trouble. But at the same time every person I grew up with started smoking because of one of the episodes where Conan takes a hit (not sure if it was cigarette or a drugs) and thus I remember them smoking at the age of 10/11 . as a parent I'll avoid having my children watching the smoking scene.

having this said, the characters developments are amazing, simply all characters are totally good or totally evil , and there were strange behaviors from few characters that didn't fit their development - for example the Captain burning Conan house while they are a sleep knowing they will burn alive !

There were also VERY POWERFUL emotional scenes that were not given the credit or the attention. one of my best cinematic scenes was the time Conan was chained underwater and Lana swam up to take a breath and give it to Conan- that was an extremely powerful, sad and emotional scene that should included music and giving its time and climax-

other scenes were familiar the famous titanic scenes that were possibly influenced from this series. and maybe Jacky Chan took from this as well .

Other than that I got nothing else to say- I wish there will be a movie that captures the characteristic comedy of the same characters - Oh well -
