Well, the French once again prove themselves to be mightier with the pen. Cartoon Network recently started a new line-up, realizing that (due to the physicalities of school/parents/planetary-alignments/etc) kids are pretty much still left alone with the TV to themselves for many hours each and every Saturday morning still to this day.

Amongst the line-up this time around are the usual fare of junk (Zixx) and attempts to capture the success of Indy Comix (Ben 10), and rip-offs from past toon network successes (Robot Boy)..

But this time a rare jewel dropped out of the sky from our friends across the Big Water.. Dragon Hunters is a title developed by the French animation powerhouse Futurikon, who's managed some healthy successes in their home turf and now are coming ashore. Check out the show, it's got kindof a Don Bluth-ish slant to it, but it's a mite bit better than most of Bluth's last 10 titles of artificially sweetened rotoscoping.

Oh, and the intro song is done by The Cure, how freaking cool is that?? :D
