To hope someone can help me to remember this early 90s cartoon?

[CHIShandler]

I first tried to remember this animated series about 20 years ago, and I think of it every few years but get nowhere. Googling never throws up the right programme, and you're about to realise why: I recall almost nothing about it

Here's what I recall:

CITV
Very early 90s, maybe late 80s but I'm fairly sure it's 90 something.
Theme tune reminded me of Ordinary World by Duran Duran
Animated
Set on an island/group of islands
Opening credits are an aerial view of the island (s)

It is not Charlie Chalk or Cockleshell Bay. It probably wasn't very long-lived.

I'm not holding out much hope, and appreciate that's not much to go on. Please help me to lay this to rest!

Is it the Dreamstone, OP? Theme song was something like "better than a dream"....

Have you looked for eighties/nineties cartoons on YouTube? There are tons of playlists full of cartoon introductions/theme songs.

@Pumpkinstace

The wuzzles?

No, not that.

@philosopherspebble

Mysterious Cities of Gold?

I somehow read that as "Mysterious clities of gold" and thought that wouldn't be a children's cartoon

any of these?

Ovide and the Gang?

@FedUpWithBriiiiick

What about Ovide and the Gang?

No, it's not Ovide Video but that's a really good guess.

No, it's daytime and prettier.

Portland Bill?

@Flamingnorahs

Portland Bill?

No. It's almost certainly not British in origin.

if you use reddit you could ask on tip of my tongue. i guarantee someone will solve it in about five minutes.

Family ness?

Not helpful, but Cities of Gold was wonderful.

There's a long list here, with dates - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programmes_broadcast_by_CITV
