[S] "The Adventures of Franck and Friends"

I am glad it got found so early and you got to enjoy it! 
Shame I can't understand Portuguese. Maybe if someone could make a subtitled version... this movie looks very interesting to me.

I studied some Portuguese a few years back and I was able to understand much of it that a few lines made me chuckle. It helps that I also know Spanish and French. I can help a bit, but not too much with my current schedule.

Well, I could try to subtitle some of it into english on my spare time. But my routine is very busy. Nevertheless, i'll try to do that when I can. :)

I downloaded it just in case! But I see someone already reuploaded it!



I have also taken care to look at the credits. So many French names who worked on cartoons I know, such as director Michel Gauthier who directed classic sci-fi series Les Mondes Engloutis (localized in English as Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea). And yet, extremely few of them mention Les Conquérants in their resume.

A notable thing is that the cartoon was produced by studio SAVEC that has little information about it available.
Standing for "Société pour l'Audiovisuel dans l'éducation et la culture", it was an independant  production company run by Claude Cobast (who also created the original screenplay/dialogues of Les Conquérants) that did educational films, including a few animated shorts that got rewards. The SAVEC shut down in 1998 and Claude Cobast passed away in 2013.

The ending credits also mention they got support from the Centre National de la Cinématographie (public organization that supports local filmd works) and the Fédération Nationale de la Mutualité Française (association of the health insurance supplement companies).

They mention a voice talent credit to Karina Films, a dubbing/post-production audio company. This implies that there is a possiblity there was a French dub made, even though no voice actors are listed, and I doubt those French credits would mention this for the Brazilian Portuguese dub!

I will make a LMW article about this. A lost cartoon that we didn't even know existed was found, and I think there is more to it that is still lost. I still wish I can watch this in French, as it should be...

Awesome to hear comments from the creator at the time! They completely nailed that sketchbook feeling, that's for sure. Never seen that before, very creative from their part!
