Fantomcat 01 the hero returns
Fantomcat is an animated series produced by Cosgrove Hall Films. It was first broadcast in 1995, and was animated after Avenger Penguins in 1994, by Alfonso Productions, a Spanish animation studio. It aired largely on Children's ITV. The series also had a brief run on Pop and on Network Ten in Australia. It was produced and directed by Ben Turner.
Contents
Fantomcat centres on the character Phillipe Lentheric Guerlain de Givenchy, the Duke of Fantom, a masked swashbuckling hero who thrived in 1699, in mortal combat with his nemesis Baron Von Skeltar (a sword-wielding caped Skeletoid alchemist). De Fantom was treacherously cast into a painting within the halls of his house, Castle De Fantom, and became trapped for centuries. As time passed, the area around Castle De Fantom became a bustling metropolis called Metro City, a city submerged in crime rings led by the fiendish arachnid Marmagora.
Influences
Fantomcat was influenced heavily by Zorro, Errol Flynn, and the time-lost approach of Adam Adamant Lives.
