This could be a stretch, but the show Pandamonium has a similar premise; though there are talking pandas involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandamonium_(TV_series)
Will think of others....

Yep, I think this is it. I did completely forget the pandas, but after looking up Pandamonium on Youtube, I must say that they seem indeed quite familiar!
Thank you!
An animated show, say eighties or early nineties (that when I did see this, could have been older of course). I only remember the intro, were the premise of the show is told:
We see the Big Bad climbing a very high tower or mountain under a star sky, in order to get the MacGuffin (I think it was some crystal thing), which rests at the peak of the tower (or mountain). He can almost reach it, but then for some reason it shatters into many tiny pieces, which somehow disperse into every corner of the galaxy/universe/whatever. Now, the protagonists (normal humans from Earth???) are on a quest to gather all the Mac Guffin pieces, before the Big Bad can get them into his hands]].
My memories are very vague, so I might have misremembered a thing or two, but I thing I have successfully pinned down the essentials of this
