	I can remember the cartoon you are talking about, but I cannot
remember the name.  In fact, the arena episode is one of the shows that
I can remember.  A sibling show that used the same animation technique
is 'Clutch Cargo'.  Clutch is a modern day adventurer flying a seaplane.
I believe he had a female companion and a boy side kick.  Maybe that
will be of some help.

	I'm surprised that Johnny Quest or Prince Planet haven't been
mentioned in this group yet.  From what I can remember, Prince Planet
was an Astro Boy clone.  Johnny Quest was just fun!
