I used to watch this when I was really little and the characters were teddy bares then. So I guess they've changed it then.

@thenintendoviewer

you were right - they were bears in the uk only. The other countries had them with the round heads. (o:

just though you all might like to know that I've uploaded all the songs from the jellikins/jellabies seris and they're all great as well check em out.

[jonolewis]

you might be interested to know that much of the Jellikins music was by David Lowe. He's also known for writing the very well-known theme for the BBC News.

oh wow!!! never realised til now that you worked on jellikins, that to cool. may I ask why we got the bear version and not the jellabies version? wish it was broght back on tele with new episode done for HD ready.

[jonolewis]

We only had the bear version in the UK, as GMTV were worried the Jellabies looked like Jelly Babies. So I re-designed their heads but just for the UK market. It is still shown on tele as a repeat, mostly in other countries such as Australia nowadays.
