did you read Bamse too?

Novabreaker said:

I know! I read a book to the kids and it was really wierd and hard to make sense of! my own book from the 70s had psychedelic pictures, it was cool, though again hard to understand the story.

ZombieKitten said:

Yes,of course!!! and Nicke Nyfiken.I believe he's called Curious George

I moved away from Sweden before I turned 2, taking my Bamse book, Barbapappa and mumin books with me
In Schweiz I watched Sandmännchen and Il gatto Arturo

does anybody remember Grabowski the mole?

Jeremy The Bear (aka Colargol, Beertje Colargol, and Barnaby the Bear) was my alltime favorite show as a child. I wish I could find these vidoes online.

My absolute favourite as a kid was this Finnish bunny character:




Well, not just as a kid.

Weebles Wobble, but we never fall down !!!!!

Whoever drew them was sick. He deprived them of mouths, eyelids and toes so that not only can the moomins not talk, but they also cannot blink or balance. That sick bastard.

JustErin said:

Thats Barnaby The Bear !!!!! Or at least what he was called here !!!!


http://www.jedisparadise....naby.htm&1

Barnaby teh bears my name
Never call me Jack or James
I will sing my way to fame
Barnaby the Bears my Name

Birds taught me to sing
when they took me to their King
First I had to fly
In the sky so high, so High, So High, So High, So HIgh

Cant go on any more.....lol


Sad to say, but there are no DVD's or Videos with Barnaby on

Looks like a serial killer.

We have an on-going joke here in Finland that roughly translates to something like this:
"Why Are The Moomins so fat?",
"I don't know",
"Well, wouldn't you be fat too if you were deprived of having an asshole, yet you were forced to eat all the time?"

(they're eating constantly in the books)

Novabreaker said:

LOL that's a good one.

ZombieKitten said:

Okay, I don't know what those things are!!

Oh Charlotte, you've basically mentioned every single character that creeped me out and made me depressed in my childhood. Except maybe for "Vilse i pannkakan".

I had to watch hours of Tom & Jerry to get rid of the mental image of those fat, pale hippos after accidentally catching an episode.

"Vilse i pannkakan" scared the shit out of me also
/peace Manki

Barbapappas ring a bell... I recognise them...


Barnaby The Bear I must have watched as a kid cos as soon as I saw the name, that theme tune went through my head...


The Moomins???! I used to love them!!!

Although that baddie used to totally creep me out. Can't remember what it was called? It used to glide about and everything would be covered in ice. Waaaaah!

retina said:

I never heard of that


didn't you like Trazan och Banarne?
I had this album

Yeah, the ghost-like creatures in the Moomins very genuinely creepy, and I guess they are that to even adults' standards to some extent. Most of them were completely silent, hovering, expressionless. Really scary and stylish in that way.

Novabreaker said:

DON'T remind me!!

That used to scare the shit outta me when I was a kid!

ZombieKitten said:

OMG! I have that album at my parents
