Mark and Emma hit up the pre-Heyward DiC cartoon "Ulysses 31" today, and are pleasantly surprised by it! The French-Japanese animation was based off the story of Homer's Odyssey, wherein Odysseus travels a long journey back home after the ten year battle of the Trojan War. Except here they sci-fied the heck out of it and now it's a story of a bloke called Ulysses (the latin name for Odysseus) who, after a run-in with Zeus, now has to travel to the Kingdom of Hades in order to restore life to his entire ships crew, who have become as lifeless as stone. Not lifeless enough for them all to conveniently travel into the cargo hold, but hey. Fascinating ship designs, awkward voice acting and brilliant hair package up this little 80s oddity quite nicely. But what did we think of it? Well my dear friend, listen and find out!

For those curious of the current ranking of what we've seen thus far: 1. Where's Wally? / 2. Inspector Gadget / 3. Dinosaucers / 4. Super Mario Super Show.
