ovide intro english

[spot5]

Even though I don't remember any specific episodes, this theme tune has always stuck in my mind and always made me feel the nostalgia for the good old days of childhood.

[MJNSEIFER]

I watched this as a kid (obviously in English) I didn't realize that it was a foreign show back then. I've looked at a translation for the orginal song, and obviously it's got different lyrics - is it just me, or did whoever wrote the English version of the song just literally describe what she was seeing?

[MJNSEIFER]

(00:09) to (00:12) "Look outside, look at Bobo.  Party crashings an oboe."

What!?

[eisemanrenyardjake]

@MJNSEIFER "Party-crashing's a NO-NO"

[eisemanrenyardjake]

3 people tried to ride a wheelie bin down a sand-dune, and got hit on the head with coconuts!

[BKDBrian2]

@eisemanrenyardjake Would those be Moe, Larry and Curly?

[GunniHelm]

Weiß denn niemand ob "Ovide und seine Bande" auf RTL2 einen eigenen deutschen Vorspann hatte, oder ob der englische gezeigt wurde (vom niederländischen geh ich jetzt mal eher nicht aus^^ )?

[StuAcker]

Used to be my ALL TIME FAVOURITE cartoon when I was younger :)

[eisemanrenyardjake]

@StuAcker Me too! I miss this show big time.

[BKDBrian2]

@eisemanrenyardjake I suppose so, but don't go buying any VHS tapes of this cartoon, because I read on wikipedia that either NBC or The Hub is supposed to start showing the show in the next few months! I hope you're looking forward to it, I know I am! :)

[temin76]

that white animal on the branch with its 2 friends has some impressive eye lids. at 0:31 it closes its eyes over its sunglasses.

[Shadoboy]

@temin76 Now I can't unsee it.

[athousandstories]

yay.

[TassyDevil04]

This cartoon scarred me for life...that episode when the snake Sy got bit by the mosquitos and his little ghost floated out of him and thenhe thought he was a vampire.,..seriously twisted and freaked me out.

[StrawberryGun500]

i loved this cartoon when i was small. sweet. wow never saw the engklish vers before cool.

[AlJayRobins13]

what a classic

[Kiddy2468]

This show scared me when I was little I remember the episode where two mosquitoes bit the snake on the neck and he thought he was a vampire. It was so creepy.

[BKDBrian2]

What about the one before that one, where Cy poured poisonous grape juice into the garden pipes and Ovide and his friends got very sick?

[sp4i6]

can't find these anywhere! on youtube or torrents...

[jamesjonesrocket]

what happened to that kangeroo-she was very sexy if i remember

[ajlusted]

Bizarrely, this theme tune is the only thing I know how to play on a keyboard!

[BKDBrian2]

What else can you play on a keyboard? Any nursery rhymes such as "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or "London Bridge"?

[Caphalor12]

achja *schnief* die unbeschwerten kindertage^^

[ClipOriss]

Hat das jemand vielleicht noch auf deutsch ?

[majulietta]

Me facinaba esta serie de niña, me recuerdo que la serpiente era bien mala, que tiempos aquellos.

[arganusai]

God this brings back memories of too much TV as a child!

[datriadx18]

I remember seeing this when I was a kid... memories.

[sharkbate625]

i remember this show

[Afrowasi]

lol indeed dzombie0!~ I love the drum beat in the beginning. And man, bad day Mr.snake!

[WWETakerGirl]

This was on when I was small & I think it was on Teletoon not sure but it's been YEARS since I saw it & just recalled the name of it today lol

[crazyela87]

does anybody know the german text of this theme?

(Sorry for my bad english)

[profvanleipem]

Klinkt echt voor geen meter, Nederlands is veel beter!

[Keepitgreasy11]

Have Mercy...

I remember this on the air back in 1990-91 (I believe I was 8) and it was on channel 12 , Winnipeg CKND-Global (Canwest Global) and funny how I came across this lol although I don't remember it being on Teletoon, Family Channel maybe

25 yrs...where did time go?

[bmw518rijder]

hier het het ovide video en bij ons gewoon ovide.

Maar deze intro niet leuk maar onze versie wel

[vkrippen]

I loved this, thanks for uploading the English version.

[ccricers]

I stumbled upon a VHS of this cartoon in a Blockbuster. 10 episodes in all. What a great find!

[MissMnoe]

Nederlandse versie is Leuker

[cocobrowny]

@MissMnoe Does that mean "The Dutch version is better"? If so, you are right.

[DeNooby]

Serieus, klinkt echt voor geen meter! Maar kan ook jeugd sentiment zijn he.

[BurzuMStuleN]

The dutch rule!

[goldfish09]

I just remembered how much I liked this cartoon growing up...

What country did it originate from?

[vkrippen]

It's a Belgium/Canadian production suprisingly.  I always had assumed it was Dutch.

[IngridHolandia]

I like the intro better in Dutch if im honest

[mimiveltmuis]

WHAHAHAHA ENGLISH? OMFG HAHAHA

[M3taknight]

some dutch people speak an accent too...

and give me the dutch version

[Riien]

I speak with an accent to:P LIMBURGS ruleert! haha

I like the dutch version better

[M3taknight]

ge weet het toch;) LIMBURG aan de top;)

[kokitsunemaru]

ROTTURDAM!!!!!

[BLTMAN100]

belgiums speak dutch. (with a light accent)

[SuperRodimusPrime]

It was originally in French.

[BLTMAN100]

Dutch does sound better with the video they play

[Hutz86]

Defo.

[dirty06maggot]

wasn't this a french cartoon???? not sure tho.

[SEETER1]

geef mij maar nederlands!!!

[richardsfinalfantasy]

I used to like this cartoon when I was young. I didn't know it was Dutch. : )

[luuko656]

i did, i was rased with this!

[pinkystarish22]

Yeah, when you're used to the dutch version, this version really sucks!! It sounds so amature-ish......

[YvieThatsMe]

*clap clap* or *klap klap* :D

[BKDBrian2]

I prefer the English version in every way. Don't you Americans think it's better to watch this with a clear picture in English than with a fuzzy picture in Dutch? I've copied several outdated home videos onto a DVD+R disc I happen to have, and I hope that some studio can get this show (in English) released on an official DVD set or two, so that we can finally see the last 24 episodes that were never released on VHS.

[Ryoku75]

I prefer English over subs too, though anime\japanimation fans tend to oppose any alterations to shows that they love, and theirs plenty of anime fans here in the states.

[noqa]

@pinkystarish22 And the fact that it's less than a minute long

[burak18]

Dutch one is the best

[animalroxanna]

Dutch is much better !!!

[SuperRodimusPrime]

I miss that show. Someone should upload some episodes in English.

[Liquidfighter]

mmm nice, but is rather hear the Dutch version ^_^

[Draudemas2]

The Dutch one is way better :P. It really is

[imransodha]

I used to love this show - Saturday morning on Channel 4 - great intro!

[AmazingShoestring]

I used to love this show. I own one of the rare dubbed VHS's!

[ForteBX]

lol, you englsih had a shorter intro :P

Our Dutch intro is 1 minute longer.

[lnelson]

me too!

[Sambaliten]

I loved this show as a kid!! :D

[mrseisen]
