Belle
and Sebastian

Belle and Sebastian, based on Cecile Aubry's popular children's book series, first appeared on television as a live action series in France.

A fifty-two-episode animated series was made for Japanese television in 1981, with the English dub airing on Nickelodeon from 1984-1990.

The tale comprises a linear storyline, wonderful characters and animation, and a gorgeous soundtrack that will delight children and adults alike.

The story was about a young boy named Sebastian, and a large white dog named Belle.

Sebastian had been raised by an old man named Cecil and had never met his mother. She had given birth to him after Cecil rescued him, and had left, promising to return someday. She was a gypsy lady and also worked for a traveling carnival.

Belle was a large white dog who lived in the mountains, and was believed to be evil.

The locals referred to him as a "White Monster" or "White Devil." In reality Belle was gentle, but only Sebastion realized this, because he was the only person willing to get to know him. Belle had apparently been blamed for some bad things that had happened in the town that Sebastian lived in, which was located near the Pyrenees Mountains of France.

It is through these mountains that Belle and Sebastian had all their great adventures.
