Saban's Sissi the Princess

[Prudence]

I wonder if anyone else here ever watched Princess Sissi. The animated children's series, which aired from 1997 until 1998 in European countries* was based on the earlier years of Austrian Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria, called Sissi by her companions. The show centered around her and her husband-to-be, long before the assassination took place.

It was an interesting series, captivating for any young fan of royalty and history. I would describe it as some sort of cross between a Disney movie, a Richard Rich movie, and the 2002-2003 animated series on American history, Liberty's Kids. The historical adventure mixed with better accuracy than typical for cartoons, along with the humor and the fact that this was a continuing series, definitely had a Liberty's Kids feel to it. (Or the latter had a Princess Sissi feel to it, since Sissi came first!)

Well now, am I the only person who watched this? I hope not. The animation wasn't stunning, but the script was quite good.

*I am American, but am European by birth, and quickly found out about the television show.

I watched like the first 20 something episodes and then the storylines got really absurd and the series more and more historically inacurate, even more than it had always been. But it was a nice TV series if one didn't mind that and certainly entertaining.

I used to watch it! The animation wasn't that good but I just loved the opening and ending song of the series! Do you happen to know where I can watch or download any episodes?

I found some (in Dutch) on YouTube, sotiris2006.

Yeah, I found those too. Too bad I don't understand a word Thanks, anyway.
