Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea	comment	Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea is the title of the English language version of the French animated series Les Mondes Engloutis ("The Engulfed Worlds"), best known by American viewers as that trippy little series that ran on Nickelodeon for two years (1985-1987, rerun until 1990). You know, the one with the opening theme song sung by Menudo in Season 2.The series concerns a lost city named Arkadia, whose ancient civilization escaped a great cataclysm by moving underground into the Hollow Earth. Today, most Arkadians don't even know that life continues on the surface (thanks to the machinations of the ancients), but life goes on, thanks to the heat and light of Arcadia's artificial sun, Tehra (Shagma in the French version). Unfortunately, Tehra is starting to lose power and fail, but the adults of Arkadia seem complacent that everything will be fine, despite a vocal group of children calling for the city to do something to prevent both the sun and the city dying.Given no other choice, the children enter a forbidden archive, and discover the truth about the existence of life on the surface. Using the knowledge in the archive, they create a messenger named Arkana, and send her to the surface world for help. Together with the two talking pangolins Bic and Bac, she makes it to the surface in Tehrig, and finds two ordinary human children, Matt (Bob in the original) and Rebecca, willing to go back with her. Unfortunately, Tehrig (Shagshag in the original) is captured by the Pirates of the Seas before reaching the portal back. They are eventually freed with the help of the wandering warrior Spartakus, but by then they are hopelessly lost, and have to wander the various worlds beneath the sea to find a way to Arkadia before it's too late.

Later on in the first episode, Rebecca invokes and Lampshades this trope when talking Matt into going with Arkana instead of taking her to the authorities — claiming that the adults would take Arkana and do experiments on her, trying to figure out her history, and by the time they got around to maybe send help to Arkadia, it would be too late.

Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea / int_d332bf63	comment	Later on in the first episode, Rebecca invokes and Lampshades this trope when talking Matt into going with Arkana instead of taking her to the authorities — claiming that the adults would take Arkana and do experiments on her, trying to figure out her history, and by the time they got around to maybe send help to Arkadia, it would be too late.

Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea / int_e2c4b927	type	Dub Name Change
Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: The English dub has a number of name changes. Easy enough to understand why they changed "Shagma" and "Shagshag" to "Tehra" and "Tehrig." The main quartet of pirates have names that are punny in French, but don't really translate well, save for Massmedia, which actually means the same thing in both languages. So Mattymatte became Mighty Matt, Maxagaze became Nasty Max, and Seskapil (which sounds like and translates to "sex appeal", a bit problematic for a kids show) became Sleazeappeal. And then there's Bob, who was renamed Matt in the English dub, despite Bob being a perfectly normal name in English (though probably not necessarily one geared towards a child character). It also breaks the One-Steve Limit with Mighty Matt. An odd one with Bic and Bac, who have swapped names in the English dub. In the original, Bic is the one with the long ears and Bac the one with the short, round ears, but in the English dub it's the other way around. The Hungarian dub changed the pirate names as follows: Maxagaze to Maxigáz (Maxi-Gas or Maxi-Bad), Mattymatte to Agyalap (Brain-Base or Pituitary), Seskapil to Zsebpiszok (Pocket Dirt), Massmedia to Popócici (Butt-Boobs) and their rival Ringnar to Popfej (Pop-Head, also a possible nod to Popeye).

However, there's no sunshine where he's involved, as he's the evil ruler of a kingdom and a slaver. And he wants nothing more than to see his older brother in chains.

Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea / int_ee7ed46e	comment	The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Semi-averted with The Pirates of the Seas. They will jump on you and loot your stuff... just as soon as they finish singing in their music video. The pirates also have a rival group of ruffians (who do not have their own song), lead by Ringnar, who also occasionally try to do something but fail. Much is made about Spartakus, being the finest gladiator ever to roam the strata, but his combat skills are almost never used to solve a problem. Justified in that Spartakus fled his world to escape being a gladiator, and put violence behind him.
