Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego (intro)

In theaters, I would love to see an adult-take on this franchise. I think the geographical trivia/factoids could be very quaintly wedged into there so the learning aspect wouldn't be too distracting.

Boy as a kid remember having this theme song stuck in my head for weeks. It was constant to the point of tears 😂, thought I was going to loose my shit even as a kid lol

[@OlpusBonzo]

I prefer the "a cappella" theme song of the game show that aired on PBS, at least it's original and not recycled from W. A. Mozart.

[@LoganStudiosFilmCo]

@@OlpusBonzo it's just rearranged.

[@OlpusBonzo]

@@LoganStudiosFilmCo It's not only rearranged: they also added some worthless lyrics related to Carmen Sandiego. That's why the music is "recycled" to do something else than what intended in the opera "The Abduction from the Seraglio". I didn't said they «copied» it just because that composition is on the public domain and also it would be extremely stupid from DIC Productions to pretend that it was an original one. Also I didn't wrote that the opening of the game show was better because (obviously) I have a far higher opinion of the compositions done by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart than any other else. But no one can possibly deny that the effort made by the musician or the musicians that put together the opening of the cartoon is minimal compared to what Rockapella have done with their entirely original song.

[@osaji922]

I don't know why but for whatever reason I remember this song being more like a rap. I was really young though so the wires in my brain must have malfunctioned. Whenever I hear the theme now, I'm like WTF? This isn't it! lol

[@OsamasenpaiF2P]

only now as an adult can i truly appreciate this wonderful intro

[@Jalu3]

In the final episode of the Netflix series, they paid homage to this version of the theme.

I know, show using flash animation, but look of characters is perfect and interesting. Characters are really interesting and has their backstoris. Also intro of cartoon is brilliant..
