The New Adventures of Pinocchio - Duck Luck

[Ramona6]

Reggie the Hobo!!!!! That's my dad's name...LOL

[tmlfan1977]

Wow! I remember watching this on Global in the 80's when I was a kid. I was introduced to a lot of 60's cartoons back then including "The Mighty Hercules", "Rocket Robin Hood", "Milton The Monster" and "Tales Of The Wizard Of Oz". Great memories.

[albertherz]

thanks I loved this show

[Antsy027]

Good lord, I remember every bit of music and every word of the song from this series. But I never realized until now that the narrator had a Canadian accent. I watched this in Toronto in the late 60's, did it ever play outside of Canada?

[SBWification]

I forgot about cricket's voice. Must have been a chain smoker or something.

[bresnan21]

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and remember this show from the early 70's as it was shown on the CBC. Fond memories.

[uberjim83]

Wait a minute, did Jiminy Cricket commit attempted murder at 1:25?

[pharbizorg]

This show was on CBC at 6AM in Fredericton, NB when I was a kid. This is one of my many fond memories of visiting my grandmother.

[tigressfire1]

I remember waking up around 530 or 6 am to watch this show as a kid. Same goes for the Wizard of Oz series too. I love that these are on here, now I can show my kids what I had for cartoons and they should be thankful for what they have now LOL.

[woodbinedrinker]

Reggie kinda looks like Ben Stiller

[PissoPuyo]

HAHA! I see it too! It also looks like they got away with HiJacking a train..

[joeblowthehot]

Man that cricket is one dangerous individual..

[antoniod]

When I was 4 or 5, this was the only Pinocchio I knew

[plantnut65]

I remember watching this as a small child in Winnipeg in the early 70's. It was one of my favorite cartoons. Thank-you for posting this video. Good memories. No one I know had ever heard of this cartoon either!

[grazzt519]

A staple on CHCH Hamilton in the 70s and 80s, along with Spiderman, Hercules, and Wizard of Oz. ahhhh, such good days.

[quebecotr]

I, too, didn't think anyone would remember this.

I've got very fond memories of this show.

As another member said, it used to air with "The World of Oz". I think, if I'm not mistaken, that Rankin-Bass also had a hand in "The Mighty Hercules", another treasure from my youth.

I hope these shows come out on DVD soon, cause I'd love to share them with the children in my life. These shows have a simple magic that is absent from today's kiddie fare ! Are you listening, Rankin-Bass ??

Thank you!

Not surprised that this Pinocchio series and the Wizard of Oz series were paired up, since both were produced by Rankin/Bass. Besides, Entertainment Rights owns the rights to the pre-1974 Rankin/Bass library.

"Mighty Hercules" was not produced by Rankin/Bass, it was produced by Trans-Lux in 1962, by the same people that did the "Felix the Cat" cartoon series in 1958.

[cne08]

This was a cool show.

[bobeee1969]

early morning time filler in the 70's on CFTO toronto

[Hoopskidoodle]

It was the same thing in Windsor of CBET. I used to watch this and "The World of Oz" starting at 5:30 a.m.

[musclguy39]

Wow, it must be 35 years since I saw an episode of The New Adventures of Pinocchio. Thanks so much for posting this!

[hooperxxx]

You have got to be shitting me! In nearly 40 years, I've never met anyone else who'd ever heard of this show.

I can walk and talk and fly, do anything I try...

[ehcowan]

Great to see these again. Great talented voices on all these VideoCraft - Rankin/Bass Productions. Thanks Bernard Cowan...

[SHMUJEW]

this was on winnipeg TV in the 70's

[mitts61]

So?

[howilu]

I remember seeing these cartoons on Channel 11 in New York along with the old Koko the Clown shows, Out of the Inkwell.

[SteveCarras]

Boy a really Fractured Fairy Tale, though by a different studio (the future Rankin bass), I even heard (when the villian's on a plane and the ducks drop eggs on him) ma Jay War sound effect.

[SteveCarras]

That narrator sounds a little bit like Edward Everett Horton.:)

[markojameow]

Actually, the narrator was a Canadian actor named Peter Mews, who played Timber Tom in the Canadian version of Howdy Doody in the 1950s.

[143AC]

My God!

I haven't seen these tv puppet films

since their were screened on WPIX TV Ch.11

in NYC back in the early 1960's.
