Many a childhood memory

kamaqt99 · Gnarly Joined: 29 Aug 2005 Posts: 26

OK I'm just going to dump out my brain because Teddy0bear IS AWSOME & TOTALLY RAD!!

1. It was a movie that started out live action then turned to cartoon. The only memory besides that was that there was a porceline doll named Babette.

2. This one is more vague than the last. All I remember was that the characters had hats like flower. It was before the Lil' Bits on NickJr. I remember watching it on VHS on the waiting room TV at my pediatricians office so I think it may have been a movie.

3. The only thing I remember about this movie was one of the songs: it was something like "Nobody can stop the Flue (Floo)" I could have been CareBears or My Little Ponies (I was in preschool at the time and a little obsessed with those brands)

4. There was a Peter Pan tv show with animation that looked very similar to the Pirates of Dark Water.

And Lastly just a question to the masses. Where can I find the listings for Nickelodeon, NickJr., and/or Disney from anytime between 1987-1992?

1. Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977 movie)
Raggedy Ann and Andy are the property of Marcella, along with several other toys. Much like in Toy Story, they come alive whenever Marcella leaves her room. In this film, the dolls and Marcella are live-action, untill the little girl leaves the room and the dolls come to life. When that happens the film becomes animated. The animation isn't all that attractive, but it does have its own sort of charm. The music throughout the film is, what else, ragtime, a popular sound for films of the seventies I've noticed. Anyway, on the day of Marcella's birthday, a new doll comes into the room. Her name is Babette, and she's from France. A pirate Captain who lives in a snowglobe sees her and falls instantly in love with her! He gets the other toys to help set him free through trickery, and steals away the French doll. He sets out to sea in his Pirate ship, and Raggedy Ann and Andy have to go on a quest to rescue her! Now here's where things get trippy!
Along the way, the brother and sister encounter a spaced out Camel, gluttonous blob of candy eating taffy (eager to eat Raggedy Ann's candy heart), a crazy King and an even crazier Knight, some weird sea monster I can't even describe...it's all just bizarre.

4. Peter Pan and the Pirates (1990 TV series)

The TV show was just "Duckula"

That's him I remembered him being green but i thought that it could also be because his favorite food was brocoli. The most vivid part about the show to me though was the end part with the company logo thingy... it was a building reflected in a pool of water. Would anyone happen to know the company's name?

Well, it was made by Cosgrove-Hall Productions (who also made Danger Mouse, among others). Their symbol was this:

but they were a division of Thames Television who had this at the end of their shows:

Thank you leprechansgold that was the thing I was thinking of... I still have that scene in dreams every now and again!

I don't know that Rose Petal Place is the flower-girl movie I'm remembering, I need a screen shot to verify, I think it's so foggy because I only saw it in my pediatricians office so it got repressed along with my immunization shots. Does anyone have a screen shot from the movie itself?

kamaqt99 · Gnarly Joined: 29 Aug 2005 Posts: 26

OK I've got a couple more for the cosmos...sorry they just keep popping into my mind.

I don't know if this counts but there was a show on Disney I think that had several puppets and it took place in a mall or store after hours. It could have been a spin off of the movie Manequin. There was a lot of cartoon shorts in it but I don't remember the name of the show.

This one may not count either. I had dolls, a coloring book, and a book of these "angels" different colored like rainbow brights pals and they looked a little like the modern "skydancer" dolls. I think I remember watching a cartoon for them but I'm not quite sure.

A geez man! i was at work! and i knew the my little pony, rose petal place, duckula, and the peter pan one. Nuts missed. I guess i'll just have to see what i can do about the last two.

Lady Lovely Locks

I so know what u mean about the building reflecting in the water. It is so thames. Thats all i remembered from duckula. It was really evil because when ever i saw that opening for other productions like the wind and the willows i would always get excited thinking it was duckula coming on again. That and the do dodo doooooooo music that went along with it. Smile

It wasn't skydancers, they were more angelic or ballerina like. This may be a lost cause, though, I don't remember if there was a cartoon or not.

I just had a memory of the flower movie: the girls house was an overturned flower. Does that ring a bell with anyone??

Yeah, I know,
but this was the most thorough description that I found.
I haven't been able to find a pic from the actual movie.

I know what you are talking about but I can't remember the name either!! Well, I think I know. Did they have to battle gremlins or something? And they flew around and carried wands that were blossoms (if the fairy's name was lily, she had a lily wand). I had a tape of it, but I think my brother taped over it. Confused

kamaqt99 · Gnarly Joined: 29 Aug 2005 Posts: 26

Yea, that sounds like it Laurie2. I just remember the garden/forest that the girls lived in.

And another new memory...I had a doll and I remember the cartoon but just barely (I got the doll and a video tape for my 2nd birthday). She was silver and purple, she had a purple pet owl and I think she was from the moon or some other planet that was in our solar system. She had a nifty wand too.

This question sounds familiar,...

Someone asked this awhile ago and never responded

-old thread-
http://80scartoons.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=180&highlight=owl

anything on in this thread ring a bell?

If not, may I suggest

The Blinkins

Blinkins and the Bear (86)
The Blinkins are magical fairies that are able to glow. In the first special their winter food stores are raided by a bear and his frog side-kick. The Blinkins whip up a plan to get their food back.

Blinkins and the Blizzard (86)
The second one invovlves a little girl who gets lost in a blizzard and eventually finds herself in the clutches of the bear. The Blinkins come to the rescue
I don't think the owl was a pet. He was twice their size, and was intelligent.
He acted more like an old caring wise adult.

Dash it all, none of the videos seemed familiar but that looks good, I think I'll go rent that... :O)
The Moon Dreamers was definately not it. I have a picture of me and a friend when we were five: I was holding the owl and she was holding the girl. The girld had short purple hair and was very silvery. she had this wand that had some sort of symbol inside it and if you did a special move it would spin.. that was like the power up in the cartoon it was a big deal. I think it's time to give up on the flower girl one since I only really remember one scene from the movie (her walking out of her house that was a flower)... oh, well, I'm going to focus my attention on the purple moon girl now.

Ok. I just posted this in another thread that was for The Phantom Tollbooth, so that may be it, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to post here as well....
It was a Chuck Jones style animation movie and there was a part in it where the numbers and the letters were arguing about who was more important...is that from the Phantom Tollbooth? If not then where?
