I've never heard of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, but the intro is pretty dope. The song sounds like it's from the 1970s, and it looks like it was animated in Japan.

It was mid-80s, and I believe it was a French/Japanese co-production. It was a fucking epic cartoon.

This show about a little panda bear was very popular in Finland back in the 80s. You can see the difference between European and American animation back then by just comparing this intro to other ones in this thread.
