DOGTANIAN AND THE MUSKAHOUNDS

Originally screened in the UK on the BBC in 1985, from the infamous Broom Cupboard, Dogtanian was and still is a firm favourite with everyone who grew up in the 80s.

The cartoon originated in Spain in 1981, but was made in Japan by Nippon Animation.

The story follows young Dogtanian on his quest to become a Muskateer!

DID YOU KNOW... If like me, you have seen a film adaptation, or read the original book, were you confused that the cartoon portrays Athos as the fat, drunken muskateer, instead of Porthos? For some unknown reason, the characters were swapped for the cartoon.
