You only grow up once you no longer believe in dreams coming true, everyone tells you what should be expected of you, and the joy found simplier times is deemed "not age appropriate". Once you have no reflections on childhood innocence and how precious it is, your "inner child" is gone forever, and you will always be a media-morphed and society-created adult in body, mind, and soul. Never lose what simple joys you have, and no one should tell you to throw them away because you get older.
@shindukess ... I have had a very rough childhood, depressed as a kindergartener, lots of medical trauma as a child, My Bio Dad didn't care about me, My Mom had to protect me from my Adopted Father, and in the final years of my Adopted Father's life, he tried to slowly kill me so he wouldn't need to support me even when he said he "loved me so much." Despite all of that, I fought to achieve my dream of a happy life. It seemed impossilble, but my dreams were reached. It can be done!!
can you help me? i'm looking for an GFTC cartoon where young woman is making a basket and then suddenly the twig cut her cheek, and in the town she was selling the pottery and then suddenly a horseman ran over it... and later he invited her to his home...
and may i add, to the " I feel sorry for kids today." comment, as do I. I feel terrible when I see that on Halloween Night no kids are out trick or treating the streets of old neighborhoods when people actually had yards instead of a tiny patch of ground with no trees. or the fact that they will never know these magical moral filled classic stories or the american tall tales because they are too busy getting "diversity" lessons and tween garbage shoved down their throats. and we did nothing...
Haha, as a child in the 80s, I watched this cartoon religiously on Nickelodeon. I am now an anime nerd. Any wonder why?
I remembered this ENTIRE theme song for my entire life, never knowing what it was from until a couple years ago. Thank you, internet: you've returned my childhood.
They're more catchy because you were young back then. If you look at kids now they will like new themes since its their time of cartoons. GROWING UP SUCKS
I used to LOVE this show... Nickelodeon's special delivery block on the weekends! Good animation, good story lines(twist in the story from what most of us were familiar with). Oh well all eras must come to an end...
I think I know why cartoons like these meant so much to us as children: they gave us a comforting message: It's always possible to have a happy ending, no matter how bad things are.
I don't know for certain, but there's no doubt these are all synths (typical 80s/90s synth rock dontcha know).
You've got drums, a wood block that pops in now and then with the "cloppy" stuff you here, you've got electric bass, there's some flute, a lead female vocalist and a back up female harmony vocalist, a Trumpet, a couple of different string synths aaand...I'm not sure if the upbeat drum hits are rimshots or just hand clapping.
To all those who have e-mailed me and continue to e-mail me about my Comment on this page, Thank You!!! You all believe that simpler joys found in our youth can be rediscovered as we go through our lives, and the ideas and beliefs that the cartoon portrays: happiness, fulfillment, and living a happy life happily ever after CAN be reached if you work hard at it and want it bad enough. Some dreams can come true, even though we may have to walk tough roads to reach the fruition of our dreams.
@charmed4everfan - Most of us here in Gaijin-land watched this show on Nick Jr in the late 80's - early 90's, sorry we didn't have teh internetz back then so we could experience the oh-so-superior Japanese version... I like anime and jpop/jrock as much as the next person, but I have fond memories attatched to this theme.
@blueshogun96: At any rate the point remains that shows by and large from the 90's and earlier rule something awesome. Now, there's little variety among the shows presented and even if there is, the writing is sub-par and sometimes, even the drawing styles appear half-assed. In lament's terms, back then, people actually cared to try and put out quality, whereas now, people make cheap programing. The only channel that is the exception to this is The Hub (with PBS coming in 2nd).
@blueshogun96: Couple that with the fact that a Japanese made a ROBO GF for himself & a man from Australia MARRIED HIS DOG, never mind shows like 16 & Pregnant, Teen Mom, Skins (produced BY MTV [a subsidary of Viacom/Nickelodeon]), I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant and others showing kids High School age and younger (even age 12 & younger) engaging in sex and being very, very young--and immature--parents as a consequence? NO thanks!
@TherealRNO This too. I find the things on TV these days (as well as the content they present) to be quite appalling. Shows like you just mentioned, promote things like teen pregnancy, single motherhood and out of wedlock birth. Statistically, those kids are much more likely to end up in jail and be considered "scum of society". I can guarantee that there is a direct correlation between the behaviour of young people and the TV programming they watch as well as environmental influences.
@blueshogun96: It all depends on the level of control one (and one's parents) has. I mean, some played Mortal Kombat when it debuted at age 10 and watched classic Warner humor alongside it, yet could tell the difference between real-life with real people and the comparison of a pixelated video game image with graphic violence (MK) or a cartoon laced with innuendo and subtle inside jokes for adults complete with slapstick comedy (WB). It also depends on the amount of morals presented, too.
@TherealRNO: For example, for as much as I got MK & the WB, I also got Pooh, The Muppets (Sesame Street, The Muppet Show/Muppet Babies/Muppets Tonight, & Fraggle Rock), Eureeka's Castle (one of the reasons I liked Bear when it started in 1997), the debut of Rugrats, & "girly" shows like Jem, My Little Pony (80's version), Strawberry Shortcake (80's original), Care Bears (the one with Shreeky), alongside reruns of the past (ex: Underdog) & "block party" programs like The Disney Afternoon.
Oh yeah. I got the DiC stuff too (Gadget, Mario, & Sonic), alongside stuff LIKE David the Gnome and this imported anime about the Bros. Grimm fairy tale classics.
Does every generation think its music and entertainment was better than the newer generation's? Or was this stuff really better? All I know is I loved it when I was a kid and it still makes me want to come along and join the fun.
@stolenrims: Well, everything now is done via computer, which creates a flat, machine-like atmosphere. What's more, there's little variety these days, never mind that much of what's available is either poorly dubbed in the case of anime--which is, ironically, what this show was--or simply lack the charm or wit of years' past. So you make the judgement for yourself on which is better.

Music by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban. They were more important than anyone else associated with any shows when they were around...and they did the MUSIC.
hmm, for some reason I feel like I recognize images from this, but not the show itself :( Maybe its cause some of it look similar to papa beavers story time?
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please....Does anyone know what episode the water witch is in in the intro? The part where it says meet friendly elfs and" WITCHES TOO." What episode is that hag in?
@trisrays0:27-0:28. Check out the Wikipedia page for Grimms Fairy Tale Classics. There is supposedly an episode called "The Water Witch That Lives in the Pond". I cannot open Wikipedia at this time so I'm unable to confirm. Also type Grimms Fairy Tale Classics Water Witch in the Youtube text box. It will take you to a couple of videos which may be the one you're looking for. I have the link but Youtube does not allow posting of links here!
Sorry about multiple copies of the same comment I posted. It took me a while to get it right. Please don't flag it is spam. I am just not used to writing comments.
Such awesome memories, this is the kind of stuff that was responsible for making me get into game design and comic art. My brother and I used to watch this and all of the other great cartoons of the 80's and early 90's with our mom. Even all of the awesome stuff they started showing on Toonami back in 99 and early 2000's. Kids got it bad today such rubbish absolute rubbish they get.
help! i watched this show all the time and there was an episode where a guy was in jail and had a block of gold (or something like that), that's all i remember. does anyone know the episode i'm thinking of?
You only grow up once you no longer believe in dreams coming true , everyone tells you what should be expected of you, and the joy found simplier times is deemed "not age appropriate". Once you have no reflections on childhood innocence and how precious it is, your "inner child" is gone forever, and you will always be a media-morphed and society-created adult in body, mind, and soul. Never lose what simple joys you have, and no one should tell you to throw them away because you get older.
@KrosanBeast315 The trick is to find a way to spread those simple joys onto other people. I'm something of a storyteller in my spare time and focus on folk and fairy tales. My philosophy is to bring people a sense of wonder and fantasy no matter how old or young they may be. I think this show played some small part in all that.
But growing up is part of the life process. To be mired in the past is regression. Yes, nostalgia is fine...but to idolize and enshrine our youth and past is to take a step backwards. Not even a tree fixates on it's past, it's only part and foundation upon which development can come about.
@scorpius319 We do grow up physically. Nothing is also wrong with reflecting on the past. We always go forward in our lives. We have to. However... Idolizing or enshrining our youth is only taking a step backwards if you feel it to be so. Also, I feel that if you have mired in the past, it is only regression if you yourself see it as such.
We all watched these shows as kids, but adults make them. If we really wanted to, we could relive our past the way we want to, on the other end of the show, so to speak. The 90s was where creators of these shows really poured their heart and soul into them. These days, it's all about money and publicity. Someone has to take that step to bring everything back to the way it was for us.
One will know regression soon enough...sometimes too late. But awareness is key and enough...and ironically, fairy tales will tell you the same thing that i am expressing, Ironically, again, if you do some study with cross-cultural comparison of fairy-tales, and myths, you will notice similar motifs,,it is pan human for 1000's of years...our inner beings (core unconscious) can not help but to express itself...it's the best it can do...but we are wise to listen, I know you get it
@KrosanBeast315 Sadly my dad made me give this vhs away and my other childhood cartoons to my cousin. Seeing this after 13 years it makes me cry, and I am now a 20 year old male college student miserable with no more dreams.
@shindukess ... I have had a very rough childhood, depressed as a kindergartener, lots of medical trauma as a child, My Bio Dad didn't care about care about me, My Mom had to protect me from my Adopted Father, and in the final years of my Adopted Father's life, he tried to slowly kill me so he wouldn't need to support me even when he said he "loved me so much." Despite all of that, I fought to achieve my dream of a happy life. It seemed impossilble, but my dreams were reached. It can be done!!
i have been singing this all day.... couldnt remember what it was then finally looked it up.. weird how that old crap comes back to you...come along comeee along :P
ok I seriously have a question. Was there an episode of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics about a Ceramic maker that made a jumping mouse out of ceramic clay, and after words it magically came to life, and the jumping mouse went on its own adventure????? The episode was kind of like pinocchio in a way, except it was adventure about a ceramic jumping mouse that wore a red shirt, and possibly wore a red hat, and it came to life, and it went on its own adventure. Does anyone know what I am talking about?
That hairy thing coming out of the water in the intro used to scare me as a kid! LOL I loved this show and the intro, but I knew right when the hairy thing was about to appear and I would cover my eyes!
This show introduced me to some of my favorite obscure fairy tales. Like the "Shoes Danced to Pieces", "Coat of Many Colors" and "How Six Men Got Far".
Oh my god I miss this SO MUCH!! My favorite was the episode where a witch turns a girl into a bird and her boyfriend saves her. This show was so awesome.
who ever those 3 people are that pressed the dislike button all i can tell you is "you are most def going to hell" for hating on a great classical toon like this.how can someone hate this? -puzzled
Awwww, I used to watch this when I was 5 or 6! And I hope I'm not being cliche, but I DO remember the song like it was yesterday! Every note of it if not every word! Wow, brings back good memories... C: And to believe this was actually anime! I watched this back then and didn't realize that! Maybe I was too young to understand at the time... Oh well. Good ol' Nick days. I sure miss it. We all do. So thank you so much for posting this! ^.^
There's a couple sellers online offering high quality bootleg dvd sets of the show if anybody is interested. Just do a google search and you should find somewhere that is offering it. It's the best we can get right now...
I think we should deffently have a dvd box set of these old cartoon shows like this one, I have two nieces, I hope there's a dvd box set of these old nick jr cartoon shows like this one, so that they can experience these cartoon shows, like i have before them.
@DimeraFan28 What sucks is they only released about 17 episodes of this on VHS in limited supply back in 1990. The UK had like one DVD of 5 episodes. That's about as home media as the series got sadly.
I saw a bunch of cartoons like these on Nick Jr. back in the day and I thought the animation was incredibly cheesy because of how they moved their mouths and how wide they would open. It wasn't until years later that I found out it was anime.
I'm stunned that this was from Japan, and I never knew that when I was watching these on Nick Jr. back in the 1990s. It's even hard to believe this was dubbed from the same people who brought the Power Rangers to America.
Man, I feel old watching this now...how I miss being a kid :(
help! i watched this show all the time and there was an episode where a guy was in jail and had a block of gold (or something like that), that's all i remember. does anyone know the episode i'm thinking of?
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Thank you soooooo much for posting, I've been searching for this EVERYWHERE!!! I used to watch this on Nickoleodeon (i spelled that wrong) back in the day with my sister.
this is a world i wish i could live in boy oh boy as a kid i didnt realize it but this is the world i wish i could just jump into. so romantic and beautful and wonderful!
omg the opening to this show....the memories!! i used to watch this alllll the time!! breings a tear to my eye, it makes me think back to when you watched these cartoons and really cared about the characters and were scared too.
omg i loved this!!! i had a video of one and i used to dance to this song when my parents turned it on

Am I the only one who can't stand cartoons now, especially the kind that has songs with singing and dancing.

And I still can't stand cartoons like Shrek with more of the same.

Music by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban. They were more important than anyone else associated with any shows when they were around...and they did the MUSIC.

hmm, for some reason I feel like I recognize images from this, but not the show itself :( Maybe its cause some of it look similar to papa beavers story time?

@trisrays 0:27-0:28. Check out the Wikipedia page for Grimms Fairy Tale Classics. There is supposedly an episode called "The Water Witch That Lives in the Pond". I cannot open Wikipedia at this time so I'm unable to confirm. Also type Grimms Fairy Tale Classics Water Witch in the Youtube text box. It will take you to a couple of videos which may be the one you're looking for. I have the link but Youtube does not allow posting of links here!

Such awesome memories, this is the kind of stuff that was responsible for making me get into game design and comic art. My brother and I used to watch this and all of the other great cartoons of the 80's and early 90's with our mom. Even all of the awesome stuff they started showing on Toonami back in 99 and early 2000's. Kids got it bad today such rubbish absolute rubbish they get.

You only grow up once you no longer believe in dreams coming true , everyone tells you what should be expected of you, and the joy found simplier times is deemed "not age appropriate". Once you have no reflections on childhood innocence and how precious it is, your "inner child" is gone forever, and you will always be a media-morphed and society-created adult in body, mind, and soul. Never lose what simple joys you have, and no one should tell you to throw them away because you get older.
KrosanBeast315 1 year ago 54
@KrosanBeast315 The trick is to find a way to spread those simple joys onto other people. I'm something of a storyteller in my spare time and focus on folk and fairy tales. My philosophy is to bring people a sense of wonder and fantasy no matter how old or young they may be. I think this show played some small part in all that.

@KrosanBeast315
But growing up is part of the life process. To be mired in the past is regression. Yes, nostalgia is fine...but to idolize and enshrine our youth and past is to take a step backwards. Not even a tree fixates on it's past, it's only part and foundation upon which development can come about.
scorpius319 7 months ago
@scorpius319 We do grow up physically. Nothing is also wrong with reflecting on the past. We always go forward in our lives. We have to. However... Idolizing or enshrining our youth is only taking a step backwards if you feel it to be so. Also, I feel that if you have mired in the past, it is only regression if you yourself see it as such.
KrosanBeast315 7 months ago
@KrosanBeast315 + scorpius319
We all watched these shows as kids, but adults make them. If we really wanted to, we could relive our past the way we want to, on the other end of the show, so to speak. The 90s was where creators of these shows really poured their heart and soul into them. These days, it's all about money and publicity. Someone has to take that step to bring everything back to the way it was for us.
That's my goal in life. :)

One will know regression soon enough...sometimes too late. But awareness is key and enough...and ironically, fairy tales will tell you the same thing that i am expressing, Ironically, again, if you do some study with cross-cultural comparison of fairy-tales, and myths, you will notice similar motifs,,it is pan human for 1000's of years...our inner beings (core unconscious) can not help but to express itself...it's the best it can do...but we are wise to listen, I know you get it

@shindukess ... I have had a very rough childhood, depressed as a kindergartener, lots of medical trauma as a child, My Bio Dad didn't care about care about me, My Mom had to protect me from my Adopted Father, and in the final years of my Adopted Father's life, he tried to slowly kill me so he wouldn't need to support me even when he said he "loved me so much." Despite all of that, I fought to achieve my dream of a happy life. It seemed impossilble, but my dreams were reached. It can be done!!

ok I seriously have a question. Was there an episode of Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics about a Ceramic maker that made a jumping mouse out of ceramic clay, and after words it magically came to life, and the jumping mouse went on its own adventure????? The episode was kind of like pinocchio in a way, except it was adventure about a ceramic jumping mouse that wore a red shirt, and possibly wore a red hat, and it came to life, and it went on its own adventure. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

@DimeraFan28 What sucks is they only released about 17 episodes of this on VHS in limited supply back in 1990. The UK had like one DVD of 5 episodes. That's about as home media as the series got sadly.

I saw a bunch of cartoons like these on Nick Jr. back in the day and I thought the animation was incredibly cheesy because of how they moved their mouths and how wide they would open. It wasn't until years later that I found out it was anime.
