What happens

Gamba no Bouken (ガンバの冒険; lit. Adventures of Gamba) is a Japanese anime series based on the 1972 novel Boukenshatachi: Ganba to 15-hiki no Nakama (冒険者たち ガンバと15ひきの仲間, lit. The Adventurers: Gamba and His Fifteen Companions) by Atsuo Saitō and directed by Osamu Dezaki. Its 26 episodes were broadcast on Nippon TV between April 7 and September 29, 1975, and was animated by Tokyo Movie. The first film, a compilation feature returning to the title of the book the series was based on, was released on March 4, 1984, and was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. The series has been adapted into a film, titled Ganba to Kawauso no Bouken (ガンバとカワウソの冒険; lit. The Adventures of Gamba and Otters), which was released in Japan on July 20, 1991, and again was animated by TMS. In March 2003, Bandai released a puzzle and action PlayStation game called Gamba no Bouken: The Puzzle Action. A 3D CG animated film adaptation was released in Japan on October 10, 2015, titled Gamba: Gamba to Nakama-tachi (GAMBA ガンバと仲間たち), which was later released in the United States by Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment Group in 2017 that changed many character names under the title Air Bound. Prior to this, an English version was produced by SC Films International under the name Gamba 3D, and without character name changes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
