Loved this cartoon! My first crush from my junior school days looked like Penny Crayon! The theme tune was fab! Wonder what Penny and Dennis are doing now... :-)
Squeeee 8D This was my favorite show when I was little! I still remember it thank God! Good to know I haven't completely lost all of those memories :)
@DrTelf Which would be quite odd, since that word means nothing to Americans. We could quite happily purchase and eat a breakfast cereal advertised as "Delicious sugar-frosted fruity Bollocks!" The only complaint would come from dentists worried about the effect sugary Bollocks would have on children's teeth. Seriously, I am trying hard to imagine why anyone would even crack a smile at that last sentence.
lolz this is why i used to skive school when i was younger- the see these programmes along with words and pictures and the family ness and what ever else was on XD
for some reason this always reminded me of the cartoon about a butler or guy in a suit who went into a costume shop and turned into that costume... or i may just be going slightly crazy in my old age :P
@msimplay I doubt the word 'bollocks' is in it, but the cartoon WAS created by Maddocks, who illustrated and part wrote a Jim Davidson book called 'Too Risky'. This caused some embarassment when I was about 12 and found it in my parents' bedroom, after spotting the 'Jimbo-like' cartoons. I think the embarassment was mainly on my parents' side for having a book by Jim Davidson in their possession!
I remember watching this in my pj's and socks with a bowl of cereal in hand.
This was the cartoon that really started my love of drawing.
*sigh*
Cartoons were better in the 90's, they weren't cold 3D computer animations, they weren't aiming to sell a product line, they had a storyline and often taught a moral lesson in each episode.
If I have children I'm determined to expose them to the old cartoons as well as their own generation's.
Whilst they were better nearly all of them were set up with the exact intent on selling toys - Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bucky O Hare not to mention the likes of Batman, Superman and Spiderman all '90's cartoons that sold a ton of toys.
@Tarresan On the BBC, they were mostly British (although it did have a fair share of American and Canadian and Austrlian/NZ). On CITV they were about 80% foreign if they were animated.
