Gladiators of Rome

Really well done. I didn't realize it was animation when I set the DVR. It is fine for kids, but is interesting enough for adults to enjoy, too. I saw the English version when it was on one of the free cable channels.

I can understand why kids today aren't interested in the cartoons from years ago, the technology has advanced so much.

We follow a young boy from Pompeii to Rome, where he is weak and timid and not really interested in much. His stepfather tries to make him strong and bold, and find and develop his talents. And therein lies the plot.

I would say for around 6 years old and up, and definitely all the way up through adulthood.
