French Retro

Here’s some  kids series from the back and beyond. Do you remember a “Super Lunar Bird” called Wattoo Wattoo. Me and my siblings loved this alien bird. I can’t find an English version, so here is an original French version episode with an anti-smoking theme. It’s interesting, not least because you don’t often see smoking on children’s TV amymore.

So there you are… give up smoking by replacing cigarettes with explosives. D’accord!

Also, a film that a friend recommended from her own childhood, Barbapapa. Also a French production !

Wobblyland Wobblies Making Music

Here’s a series produced by Academy Award nominated Brown Bag Films from Dublin. It has a Mr.Men, Roobarb and Custard feel about it. Narrated by Geoffrey Palmer.

Brown Bag have been working on a new series of Noddy with Chorion. It’s about a million times better than the last Noddy series, thanks to Brown Bag’s involvement. Hopefully they’ll release some footage soon so I can feature that here!
