Thinking of biting the bullet and watching the 1983 PotO with Jane Seymour tonight.

Seems like a good excuse for a poll!

Have you seen the 1983 PotO with Jane Seymour and Maximillion Schell? What did you think of it?

Love finding Phantom things when I least expect it! Never seen this one, it's from a 90s cartoon called The Triplets. These 3 sisters are always going on adventures because a bored witch sends them there. It's classic stories they're sent to, and one episode was of Phantom. It has some surprisingly good nods to the book. I miss how stuff was like that from back then. Have you ever seen this one? Highly recommended. Overlook the goofiness of the girls/how the show is, real treat is Phantom story.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for tipping me off to this! It's taken me a while to respond because you're right—though the triplets themselves are ridiculous, the rest is an absolute delight, and I wanted to do it justice with a gifset.

I was surprised not to have heard of the show, as I was a '90s kid myself, but it looks like it originated in Spain? If the internet is correct, this particular episode was aired in 1999. The English dub is here for anyone who wants to watch it!

I really hope to stream it sometime soon, and then we can discuss why the Phantom's boat is a bird with a headlight.
