The success of the Highlander film & television franchise was bound to include an animated incarnation.
In 1994, a collaboration between Bohbot Entertainment and Gaumont, a French-Canadian studio, brought that animated Highlander to the US, airing initially on USA Network weekly as part of Cartoon Express before moving into syndication.
Set 7 centuries in the future, Highlander tells the tale of one Quentin MacLeod, the last of his clan, but, unlike the live-action series & movies, the immortals do not kill to gain their opponent's life force. Instead, there is a sharing and exchange of knowledge, necessary to fulfill FCC guidelines for educating young audiences.
In all, 40 episodes were produced over two seasons, but the series has not seen the light of day in nearly 25 years in this country.
