retro cartoons

i was digging through the little dusty bookshelf in my parents room a few days ago and i discovered my collection of mr men/little miss books and poddington peas books. ah to be a child again. they sure brought back memories. haha. and yes if you are wondering, they are the same mr men/little misses which are now making waves on tshirts. they are not new. theyve been around since the 80s aight!

and then i remembered that i used to watch poddington peas on tv too! and amazingly, i remembered the theme song too wtf! i'm not sure which is based on what. whether the books were written first, or whether the cartoon was first. or perhaps they were planned to be released together.

but whatever, here are my favourite childhood cartoons. hah. a bit mental, but i'm seriously thinking of finding all these on dvd. i wonder if they even are on dvd. i've seen postman pat and pingu on vcd but never dvd. lol. come to think of it, did they even broadcast these shows in malaysia? anyone know?


poddington peas. the characters have names like 'zip pea' and 'dump pea' and even 'black eyed pea' lol.


thomas the tank engine! perhaps more of a little boy's cartoon. i still loved it, heh. i dint know ringo starr was involved. lol


animals of farthing wood. i had a couple of books on these too :P


postman pat, postman pat, postman pat and his black and white cat. legend :D


PINGU! pingu doesnt even speak english, but pingu and postman pat were my favourites. my aunt gave me a Pingu soft toy when we left england. i still have it. haha.

seriously, cartoons these days have NOTHING on these classics.
then again, can postman pat and thomas the tank be considered cartoons? i dont even know how they're animated. puppets? i gotta wiki these lol.

oh i remember one cartoon i used to watch in malaysia.


haha. wtf right.
