Is Netflix about to add a ton of old 80s Arabic cartoons? I hope so because they recently added one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Flona (فلونة). Currently, the only way to watch old cartoons from the 80s is on YouTube and a lot of the episodes are missing and it’s not really practical to binge-watch a series there. If Netflix is gonna start adding these cartoons then I’m suddenly going to have so much content to watch. Here are some of the Arabic cartoons I’d like to see on Netflix (please feel free to mention any Arabic cartoon I missed):
Abtal Al Mala3eb
Al Hadaf
Al Laith Al Abyad
Al Nimir Al Moukana3
Al Rajol Al Hadidi
Amira Yakout
Bell wa Sebastian
Bombo
Captain Majed
Flona
Ghawasa Al Sarka2
Grendizer
Heidi
Jazora
Jongar
Khomasi
Kimba
Mazinger
Moghamarat Neils
Nahoul Bashar
Raad Al Emlaq
Sanshiro
Shanakel
Sindibad
Sinan
Sport Billy
Smurfs
Zeina
If you want to check out Flona, it’s listed in its English name on Netflix Kuwait, The Swiss Family Robinson.

Just remembered and added Ghawasa Al Sarka2 الغواصة الزرقاء
Thunder Sub (Blue Noah) is available on Youtube in English
oh no way, just googled it, didn’t know that was the English name for it, i assumed it would be blue submarine
Childhood memories, I have diecast models of BlueNoah submarine, Grendizer, and Captain Future’s Comet spaceship on my shelf 🙂
I think you need to add Raad Al-emlaaq

yes!
Dai al shoja3, detective conan.
I have vague memories of a cartoon which had a flying house or hot air balloon, and a little girl with a pointy nose. I remember being really creeped out by the girl as a little kid for some reason. I’m blanking on its name.
There was also one about a girl in a Japanese high school. I also can’t remember it’s name, it had the girl’s name and starts with an M.
Yes! I remember now, Maroco al 9agheera:

The pipe smoking dog looked so cool
Aaah was waiting to ask about BOMBO and looks like someone else loved it too.
🚗🤩
The song just stuck in my head 😀
It was a cute and funny cartoon for that time.
oh shit! I used to watch Al Haddaf!! Damn for some reason I thought it was Captain Majed that I used to watch (which I did but much later on). It was Al Haddaf that I started watching after Abtal Al Mala3eb and then I started watching Captain Majed. Thanks for this!!
Dude how could you forget Mrs mil3aqa?

Here is a better link

But I’ve never watched this before although it seems vaguely familiar
There was also this song in a foreign language that would keep playing, it went: Kri Kri Kri….something something…..pala chi la….something something
Anyone know what song that was and link it?
I also remember they used to play an Arabic song of an old guy impersonating a train for his grand kids – toot toot.
Nostalgia rush.
Holy shit someone else remembers this. I don’t recall it being a specific cartoon. It was like an intro/outro thing played between cartoons.
It goes like “Kri Kri Kri…pala chi la a no sehri” or something. It was this old wizard looking dude with a long beard who flys in space (on a carpet? or riding a star or something?) with I think two or three young kids sitting behind him? and they fly deep into space and then it cuts out?
Oh man for the longest time I lost hope and thought my younger self imagined the whole thing.
Toot Toot

Holy shit I finally found it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT0Q5OX5_4Q
haahahhaa never seen this before!
In case video ever gets removed, the song is called “Piccolo coro dell’Antoniano-La cicala”
If you find rajul al hadidi pls share
Oh yeah I found it but couldn’t decide if I could file it under cartoons or not lol
Wait what??? Flona is Swiss Family Robinson??! 🤯🤯🤯
Yes!
This is an awesome post.
I love 90’s cartoons more:
وادي الامان
الكوندور الذهبي
In addition to فلونة theres سالي (Princess Sarah) as well. It even hit the No1 spot in Kuwait at some point. I’m playing it right now for my daughter and watching her face contort in anguish nyahaha
Al Ra7ala Al Sagheer
Thunder Cats
Lady Oscar
Lady Lady
Kissas 3alamiya
Totah!
Thank you Dina! I was just about to add Lady Oscar!
Such a beautiful, underrated reimagining of the French Revolution that’s also latently lesbionic.
labeeba
I was surprised to find the full uncensored (save for one word cut out) version of Bye Bye London on Netflix. too bad they don’t upload more of Markaz al Funoon’s library, i’m sure it’s full of unseen archived absolute gems left on the cutting floor.
Wait there is a censored version??
