Clémentine

"Clémentine" was a very popular cartoon in Turkey in 1980's and most of my peers remember the show as being very scary. The song is still enough to give some of my friends the chills. It was aired on the state owned TV ,which used to be very picky about the kind of cartoons that it aired, for years. I still think that it was not very suitable show for kids. I do not know what the intended audience was in the first place though. I last saw it decades ago so there is not much that I remember vividly (other than Molmoth being in my nightmares when I was sick.) The show was very different than all the other cartoons of the day, though. That is for sure.

Growing up in France i saw this cartoon when i was around 6. The series revolves around a girl who would meet different characters each show whilst being constantly pursued by a horrendous demon. This demon scared me immensely at the time, but i still loved the show for its overall brilliance. The opening song is pretty good as well. For anyone that likes fairy tales this is a definite must see cartoon. The style of the cartoon's colours as well are very unique and interesting. I always found myself cheering for Clementine as she seemed to be fighting the neverending battle of good and evil. That being said the demon dude was one hardcore looking bad guy.
