All three of these are given "10"s in "The Cartoon Rating Guide for Smart Adults" (which I write); I consider Romeo's Blue Skies to be the best children's adventure programming ever produced, animated or not; it is a complete primer on life. These three are notable for, besides their animation and subject-matter, their incredible orchestral scores.

Note the detail on the shutters and crumbling brick -- these are cel-drawn paintings.

In notable contrast to "cheap" animation, there is continuous motion in nearly every frame. You won't be watching just lips move. All of the seagulls in this shot are wheeling. A contemporary cartoon, if unable to make the birds fly via a computer, simply wouldn't have them.

"Future Boy Conan" was described as an "instant classic" when it aired in 1978. Lighter in tone than the novelistic Marco and Romeo, it follows the humorous exploits of a youngster in a post-apocolypic era. Yet it still addresses themes which would rankle the nose of a broadcast censor in the US or Europe -- the kid runs around with a harpoon, fer Christ's sake!

See the detail in the leaves above and the flowers below? You won't get that anywhere else.

"Romeo's Blue Skies" is another lovely low-key art miracle from Nippon Animation (whose animators often work at Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli)! Based on a European children's classic (Die Schwarzen Bruder), the story is set in Italy and the Alps in the late 1800's. Romeo is a boy who voluntarily sells himself into a type of cruel slavery to help his family through a terrible crisis. His good nature and inner strength, along with the help of friends he meets, makes it possible for him to survive his ordeal. This is one of Nippon Animation's shows in its long-running "World Masterpiece Theatre" series of shows. It is scripted and drawn to the highest quality levels you will ever see in a TV anime series.
"Romeo's Blue Skies" is especially noted for its dozens of beautiful background and scenery paintings throughout the show. paintings taken from actual drawings and photographs of the time. The first time you see one of these backgrounds you will be astounded at their beauty and detail. This is something you won't see in the usual TV cartoon! Combined with the lovely and evocative original music score, the result is a piece of anime literature to be treasured for all time.

Hanna-Barbara will get right on drawing that many rooftops. When their artists have talent. And pigs fly.

Romeo is not a "toon": Real-world physics apply, nobody has super-powers, gravity will break your bones, and not everyone makes it out of the lake. Yes, this is children's programming.
