WOW!!!! I can't believe this is online. I thought I was the only one who had fragmented memories of this. I must have saw this when I was 3 or 4 years old. It was so bizarre to me at the time because of the way the animals were placing the windows, door, stairs, mouse hole-nothing was making sense! I only saw it a few times and never again. All I was left with was the confused feelings of what I saw. And its has lasted with me for 22 years. I feel something inside of me is resolved now. Wow...
Holy shit!!!! I don't even know how to explain how much this cartoon has driven me crazy for the last 20 years... I vaguely remember it... all I remembered was the little black thing popping around... I remember seeing this at my grandpa's house when I was like 5 years old and I never knew what it was called or never saw it again!!!! This is some crazy shit! Thanks! Now I can die a happy man!
@megadp I was about the same age when I saw it. I just wish I had the full cartoon. Hopefully someone someday will post it. In the meantime, I'm glad I've been able to help! =-)
@megadp It's close, but there has to be a title or something in the beginning but I don't have it. And I don't have the credits either. Not a big deal, but when my copy seems to be the only one out there, it sucks that I don't have every second of this.
OH! Thank you sooo much for posting this!!! I've been trying to track this down for years! It is indeed titled "The Picnic', I used to have a copy that I recorded as a kid too, and I distinctly remember the title. I, however, do not know the animator or animation company, and I thought that was why I couldn't find it. Thanks again for posting. :)
I have been looking for this cartoon for years!!!! This is called "The Picnic". Totally remember the music, and the unique style of animation. It looks like a combination of CGI and hand drawn animation. I think this came out around 1988.
@kenbob331 I had been looking for it for years as well. I had some old tapes and I guess as a kid I recorded it. I came across it and thought I'd share it. If I had been looking for it I'm sure others were. I'm glad I could help!
I just wish I could find the full version. I'm missing a bit at the beginning.
Is this called Picnic? I've been looking for it for several years and am still not sure if this is it. I do remember all the doors but the characters aren't familiar.
@Drose1956 Someone said it may have been called "The Picnic" but I've searched that title and I couldn't get anything that related to this cartoon. You can't see it on this video but one name pops up before the video cuts out. I searched the name to an animator abut I could not find anything on this specific cartoon. It's still a mystery! lol
@IrishRodent That's one of the titles I came across, but I couldn't find even a still image to relate this cartoon to that title so I wasn't sure if that's what it is called for sure. I may eventually just go with that until someone can prove otherwise. Thanks for your help!
Imbrium Beach, with the extra useful doors and windows, is by Marcus Parker-Rhodes.
I believe shown on BBC1.

@oriolepr In the US, it use to show up on Nickelodeon around 1989 or '90 as I recall.

IMDB lists it as Picnic on Imbrium Beach and it was made by Marcus Parker-Rhodes!

Can't say I remember seeing this, but it does have a very Terry Gilliam-ish feel to it.

@veronigrace Glad I could help. I hope someone one day posts the few seconds I'm missing at the beginning and the end credits.

Thanks for posting this! I've been wracking my brain for quite some time trying to figure out what this was called or how I could track it down.

@mrblueshoes81 No problem. I figured if I was looking for it, others were too.
