Status: Partially Found

Spartakus and the Sun Beneath The Sea was a French animated sci-fi/adventure series that originally aired as Les Mondes Engloutis ("The Engulfed Worlds") on Antenne 2 from 1985-1987.

Premise

Far below the surface of the Earth, is a lost city, Arcadia, populated by a race of legless hovering people and that is powered by a small sun called Tehra. One day, however, it falls ill, and the people of Arcadia need to find a cure.

The Arkadians create an artificial human woman, Arkana, on a mission to find a cure for the Shagma. Traveling on a sentient robot spaceship, Tehrig, and accompanied by two mischievous pangolins, Bic and Bac, she sails through ancient lost worlds below the Earth to find a way to heal Tehra.

On her way, she meets some friends who join her on her quest: the warrior Spartakus who is equipped with a mysterious magical bracelet and modern-day children siblings Matt and Rebecca.

They meet dangers such as the clay armies of a Chinese Emperor, a giant cosmic chess game, a city of killer ratmen, a time-twisting alchemist or even Alice's Wonderland.

English Dub

The series saw an English dub that aired on early Nickelodeon from 1985-87, with a new intro created for Season 2 by the band Menudo, and continued to be rebroadcast Saturday mornings through the early 1990's. This dub was also aired on UK's Cartoon Network and YTV in Canada.
