@Americangirl613 In the 80's, there was Maple Town, which was based on a Japanese cartoon and translated to English and broadcast in the early days of Nick Junior (late 80s), and Sylvanian Families was a separate entity. Recently, Sylvanian Families had to change their name in the US market to Calico Critters, but are still Sylvanian in the rest of the world. Mapletown was unrelated and no longer made.
This commercial really makes me happy cause when I was a kid, Mapletown and Sylvanians were my all time favorite toys. I still have most of them to this day and my daughters love to play with them :)
OMG I didnt know maple town was THAT old :O I used to watch it too as a kid though loved it! I always drew the bunny ^^ I was somehow fascinated by the pink thing around her ear. xD
I loved my Maple Town toys, I had so many of them (my mom really liked them, so she bought me many of the families - I may have had almost all of them!).
When I was five years old, I poked the eye out of one of them, and the bead went into the body of the animal - I was pretty upset about it, but my mom cleverly took a black pen and drew around the socket of the eye, not exactly a fix, but its one of those things mom do to make their kids happy.
