TV.com summary

Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds is a cartoon version of the classic Alexandre Dumas story of D'Artagnan and The Three Musketeers. Most of the characters are anthropomorphisms of dogs, hence the title of the cartoon. The main exception to this are the temptress Milady (a cat), Pip, Dogtanian's sidekick mouse, the birdy jewel thief Blue Falcon, Planchet (a bear), Dogtanian's main servant, and one pig from the Cardinal's guards.

The story follows a young Dogtanian (D'Artacan in the original Spanish version and voiced by Cam Clarke in the English version, and Darutaniyan in the Japanese version and voiced by Satomi Majima) who travels to Paris in the 17th Century in order to become one of the King Louis XIII of France's musketeers (note that they are referred to as musketeers throughout the cartoon and only the title calls them muskehounds). He quickly befriends three musketeers (Porthos, Athos and Aramis) and falls in love with Juliette, a maid-in-waiting for Queen Anne of Austria.

The cartoon was created by Spanish studio BRB Internacional and produced in Japan by Nippon Animation. It was first broadcast in Spain (D'Artacan y los tres mosqueperros) and Japan (ワンワン三銃士) in 1981, and the UK in 1985, with the English language adaptation by Dave Mallow and Doug Stone.

[edit] Sequel

In 1990 The Return of Dogtanian was released by BRB Internacional, Thames Television and Wang Film Productions/Cuckoo's Nest Studios. It picks up the story ten years after the original with Dogtanian and Juliette now living together on the outskirts of Paris with their two children, Philippe and Fleur. The story is loosely based on the novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne also by Alexandre Dumas, itself building on the myth of The Man in the Iron Mask. Dave Mallow, who adapted the original to English, takes over as the voice of Dogtanian. As production occurred in Taiwan, Nippon Animation, the Japanese studio who produced the first series, was not involved in the sequel. This also was released in a UK DVD Boxset July 4, 2005.
