Ox Tales - Opening Titles

[ilovekay2008]

wow reminds me of summer holidays at nans house!!

[DGMRuadeil]

yep "It was a Japanese-Dutch co-production based on a Dutch comic strip "Ox Tales" created by Wil Raymakers and Thijs Wilms.". Yea its really funny. But the voices on the dutch show fit the characters much much better. The ox is this slow low voice, and the turtle is actually a girl that talks slow-ish too

[leechanakira]

BRINGS US BK DWN E MEMORY LANE HOW I LOVED THE SHOW

[Onlyonedch]

God I miss this cartoon

[solidsnakegirl]

LOL, Olly.... it's Boes!

[musje83]

Like the opening theme of Disney's Ducktales, the Dutch version of the song is so much better!

[DGMRuadeil]

the original dutch intro is so much better. it fits the show much better

[olifantgamer]

@DGMRuadeil is the original dutch ? that's awesome! is the show dutch too then?

by the way , i loved this when i was a kid, now that i'm 16 it's back on tv and i still think it kicks ass.

[phorever21]

One of the best opening songs to a programme, ever.

[alzer08]

Used to watch this everyday on my summer hols,i could never remember d name of d show i typed in gaylord gorilla n hey presto here it is....memories lol

[Unolai]

It's so weird to see an English opening sequence of this! I always watched this in Dutch. :)

[scientific1982]

Man memories



[OrkusMethedrine]

En México se llamaba Toribio y su banda  =D

[zippyuk86]

haha i remember watching this and being pissed off when a news flash came on in the middle of it declaring saddam husein had surrendered :D

[phorever21]

@zippyuk86 Haha, brilliant!!

[Ellie26UK]

This cartoon reminds of one summer when I was 12 and caught measles, I was laid up in bed for 2 weeks and watched this every morning lol

[MrCrazypython]

In Portugal there are 8 dvds with this series.

[rabbitgirlification]

[TheRavingRatBag]

i thought i had dreamed this cartoon....



[pritchandy]

Absolute classic! The moles are amazing

[metnickb]

Huh?! This intro is so different than the Dutch one... Best memories, in Holland it's called: Boes

[NichtcrawlerX]

@metnickb And for some reason, Dollie became the male Jack in English.

[siki0604]

it was on TV during the 90s in Croatia. aaaaahhhhhh, simpler times

[chudstyle]

hahaha this program is legendary...beacuse of the weirdness and the horrific splastick....the term ox-tales has actually become a modern day phrase to describe slapstick!

[gasstro1]

watched this in norway;))

[krayziejackson123]

Classic TV show

Damn, the memories

[Andy43767]

Glad to see others remember this cartoon, cos none off my friends know this. Was starting to think i dreamt it lol

[rajaboy]

Blimey I remember this during the summer holidays in 1991/2, well worth waking up to, plus 1991 was the best summer I had & family holiday

[staybright25]

classic

[guy1492]

I used to sit there wondering why he kept calling the guerilla gay lord! didnt realise it was an actual name.

[joekkel]

I remember the German voice-over artist speaking the ox, it was the same German voice as Lou Ferrigno's "Incredible Hulk".

[turnbacktime]

@joekkel i thought he sounded a bit like dr phil in the english version, lol.

[joekkel]

The title was "Olli's total verrückte Farm" in Germany. A cartoon broadcasted back in the good-old 90's. It means something like "Olli's stark-mad farm". What was it in English and were is its origin? And is it available in German language anywhere?

[argai1978]

This is called Boes in Belgium and The Netherlands :p

[1997larsson]

nice  theme tune

[rbrtkchlsk]

its bugging me that i cant think of it but does anyone remember the name of the cartoon about the little white seal? i think it was on around the same time as this show.

[chudstyle]

@rbrtkchlsk Zoom the white dolphin,,,its on here!!! yea it wasnt a seal!!

[badhead]

this show had a monkey called gaylord

[guy1492]

@badhead Ha ha ha ha! indeed it did.

[Daijaron]

Aahhh.. this show was the best thing that happened to me as a child.. this is really good stuff!

[TwistedLittleJoker]

i've been trying to find things for year! i remember watching it on tv,this was one of the shows that started me of loving manga and anime :D

[dag1984]

Oh my God I remember watching this on VHS years ago. They don't make cartoons like this one anymore.

[glockeva]

oh the memories!

[gregorhayes]

great stuff, summer holidays in the late 80s, puns galore, cracking theme tune, it had it all!

[Liv2DaMax]

Loved this cartoon when I was little!

Great memories

[sebacrovax]

[MDthornton83]

Oh yeah. I totally remember this show.

[gladhand1001]

I now feel really old,and the youth of today have nothing

[mellowb1rd]

@gladhand1001 That's not true. They have x-box, mobile phones and asbos. Poor bastards.

[gladhand1001]

@mellowb1rd all of which are wank

[mellowb1rd]

@gladhand1001 I'd definately rather have an asbo than a mobile. I HATE them. Why do they always get phone calls when they are on the bus?

[gladhand1001]

@mellowb1rd Or you will be talking to someone and they just start texting at which point I end the conversation and leave

[mellowb1rd]

@gladhand1001 I h8 txts. U get 100 chrctrs to txt it but ppl still shrtn evrythin even tho it wud only cum out at bout 20 if they dint

[hogie11982]

@domparis1978 same here

[dmcc1212]

[aonghasm]

@dmcc1212 Yes! The Australian record-breaking show was called Just for the Record and had a great theme tune. Check out the end credits for the full theme. Aah, the memories. Summer holiday mornings began sitting in my pyjames watching CITV. Those were certainly the days.

[mellowb1rd]

@aonghasm Do you remember Adventures on Kythera? It was on the same year, I think.

[crimsonrush]

@dmcc1212 I think it was called JUST FOR THE RECORD. :)

[rajaboy]

@crimsonrush that wud of on a little later after ox tales, just not like it used 2 b

[Neodude991]

@domparis1978 Ditto dude!

[damieandark]

@domparis1978 What about Adventures on Kythera, Moomins (the original scary series) just for the record,Ramona,biker mice...

[Kraal7718]

for some reason i use to find this cartoon quite funny, when i was 16

[jl5000]

@domparis1978 Same here...this became my ritual during the holidays.

[ForeverFriendsLoverD]

K, its first off Dutch, and ''olly'' isnt his name but its Boes :P the show name is : Boes Boes

[MrToodling]

Jesus thought id never see this again, good times!

[icypolarbear]

Gaylord the Gorilla LOL

[Animate84]

I have to partly agree about that. It was a treat watching this at weekends. Funny, cool and memorable = A cartoon done right.

[YorkshaT078]

Has to be the funniest cartoon EVER! Spent many happy times rolling round the floor in tears

[kazzie75]

You are not alone. I have not laughed at anything else like that since..They dont make them like tbis anymore.

[ZeroX1803]

Tumbs up if you see that some of the jokes form the Actual cartoons and animes comes from here

[DaveKarl]

Anyone know who sang the theme song? - What a gorgeous voice she has.

[OriginalRoygbiv]

I too would like to know this (for definite) and I agree!! :) All I could find was an entry on IMDB and Wikipedia saying the music was composed by Shinsuke Kazado and Clous van Mechelen (Original Credits) and Haim Saban & Shuki Levy (English Credits) but I don't know who actually sang the theme song :( Sorry.

[mellowb1rd]

I've been looking for an hour and no luck. It was composed by haim saban and shuki levy, but they are both male, so...

[MichaelCapelle]

Uhhhh....... Boes??????

[yethboth]

Ox Tales was a Japanese/Dutch co-production anime series. It was Japanese animation based on a Dutch Comic Strip.

[TMan5636]

ox tales was the first and BEST anime i had ever seen. nothing tops the greatnest that is ox tales and nothing ever will

every time i watch it i feel 6 again ^_^. and i'm 18 right now

[ghettojedi2007]

great show - loved the laughing mole bit everytime...

[ChelseaMand]

This was one of the highlights of my childhood, I LOVED this show! After not seeing the show for years I still remembered all the words to the song when I found this video.

Brilliant show, I think they should bring it back.

[deecranney]

SNAP!! reminds me of summers in the early 90's, it used to rock!!!!

[Ninjafoxdemon]

I remember this from when I was a kid. I have been looking for it forever. Man I miss this show

[crashnburn96]

i loved this cartoon and i love this theme song so cute such memories

[garethparr]

Ox Tales was ace. Shame they never repeated it ever!

[kingofkings63a]

uve pinched this video

[ClassicTV68]

I actually made it myself from some recordings I have collected from the series.

[Metelino1]

I think this version is better than that I was used. A pity in Italy we haven't got this theme: we call this cartoon "Fantazoo" or "Alvaruccio".

Ps: sorry fr my English.
