Morph's Epic Art Adventure London Walk | Cool Dudes Walking Club 

Hey Marek me ole cool dude .. Now all I hear is Morph's voice Every now and then Chad turns up and joins in Brian the snail on The Magic Roundabout was a cool dude .. Great watch .. Filled with entertainment .. Thank You Marek for the Smile on me Dial .

The Soup Dragon was my favourite

Not Nosey Bonk. The terror he instilled in me. I used to love Chorlton from Chorlton and the Wheelies, absolute legend.

Excellent walk! My favourite children's character was 'Mr Noseybonk' from Jigsaw. He was a constant, reassuring presence in my life throughout the 1970s and 80s, and it's purely coincidental that I've spent my time since then incarcerated in a high security psychiatric hospital.

Good afternoon, Marek! Thank you for sharing. Great idea to collect Morphs. Gets people walking. I liked Garfield as a kid and Asterix.

Walice and Gromit The wrong trousers all the wat you are such an amazing person thank you.

Oh wow I won! What a rush. Thank you. I’ll send you an email with my details. The morph walk looked great. They have similar trails in Norwich from time to time. Elephants, Gorillas, Rabbits and Dragons.

Another fantastic video thanks I loved watching Willow the Wisp - best character for me was the Moog! Thanks also for starting the keyring Marek craze - I have really enjoyed taking pictures and then seeing them/other peoples at the end of your videos. Great fun!

Great film showing me my old haunts. Rupert and Tin Tin my fave when growing up. Keep safe and looking forward to your next adventure.

Lots of fantastic Morphs and what a great cause. CD#249 says Smurfs were her favourite growing up but this CD says Trapdoor was better. Glad that you have finally found something you hate more than pigeons

Another great video 😁 Love your narration and content My favourite characters are Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and his chums. My very favourite production is Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Could watch that hundreds of times 😁

Love all the giant morphs! Loved watching Take Hart. Some of my favourites were Roobarb and Custard and the Clangers :)

It's got to be only a matter of time before mini-marek is as iconic as MorphYou should speak to Aardman about that! Also, a hats off to all the people sending photo's of mini-marek. They are always worth waiting for too, along with the latest heavily disguised piano accompaniment. I must get in on the act.

says relax.... also, the knife throwing mini-Marek photo at 10:09 is amazing.

Excellent Morphs. As a young boy, I enjoyed Winnie-the-Pooh. E. H. Shepard got me interested in drawing early on. Your Chopin at the end took me back. My dad liked Waltz in A Minor and often played that piece.

We watched Morph on the ABC (channel 2) who also had my favourite character, Mr Squiggle and Blackboard. “Hurry up! Hurry up!” ☺️

Top Cat, who was always looking to get out of his city alley for a better place to live, and Underdog superhero, and Mighty Mouse. My mom was afraid of lighting strikes to an outdoor antenna so cartoons were on an old B&W Philco TV that only picked up one channel in rural Pennsylvania (NBC affiliate) with the "bunny ears" and sometimes aluminum foil over those. I don't remember when I discovered Ardman but my then young and teenage children really enjoyed and still do. I adore your channel recommended by Mr. Jim Moon. Your art and humor and walks are lol fun.

I love your walks Marek. Always something different. And such a good charity. Loving the Mini Marek pix(including... of course... the one I dare not mention !!)...favourite had to be Swimming Trunks Marekthough with The Hoff! I'm a bit ancient actually & I was always fascinated by Twizzle whose legs & arms had a life of their own (directed by Gerry Anderson). Later it had to be Bananaman Eric 29 Acacia Road . Of course have to mention Hong Kong Phooey too (No.1 Super Guy!)... ''When the going gets rough he's super tough''Can't beat a Super Hero. x J x😊

I always had a soft spot for Chorlton and the Wheelies. So bonkers in concept it would be impossible to explain!

Lovely stuff, thank you! My top 3 kids shows growing up were Bertha, Moschops & Chock-A-Block

Really liked that trail. Waked there recently before he Morphs. They look cool. Thanks

I liked Danger Mouse - excellent stuff!

Excellent video and an excellent cause too - I’m in London on Friday so I’ll try to find some Morphs if they’re still around. When I was about 7-8 years old a school mate and I used to pretend that we each had an invisible Morph and Chas and play out imaginary scenes with them, we once got told off in assembly by the head for mucking around - all the fault of Morph and Chas of course. But I equally loved all the Smallfilms shows (Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss, The Clangers), Looney Toons and Hanna Barbera cartoons and Bob Godfrey’s Roobarb and Noah & Nelly. And how could I almost forget the wonderful Trumptonshire Trilogy of Chigley, Trumpton and Camberwick Green which I still have somewhere on an old DVD and which my (now grown up) boys loved too.

I and some friend did the Morph trail on 17th July and enjoyed it so much, that we returned on 10th August and collected some more Morph's via the app. I think we got about 56 in total. The walk was unusual in so far that it took you to several locations in London, such as the financial district, that are off the traditional tourist track. There was a similar charity based walk at Petworth in West Sussex (National Trust), which was based around Elmer the Elephant. So it's worth keep an eye out for these sorts of things, as they're always different, engaging and obviously for good causes.

I loved Morph & that wooden box he lived in Did you like Pigeon Street? 🤭

Surprised there has never been a tv bio show regarding Tony Hart as that is definitely someone who lived a life. Also, I am of the age where Mary.Mungo and Midge, Jamie and the Magic Torch and Chorlton and Wheelies were my jam as a child of the 70s.

Oh I love those trails!As you've probably seen on my mini Marek account we've done them in Birmingham and Wolverhampton. Aww I would have loved to have had a go at that Morph one. 😊 My fave character from a children's programme was pollutto from The smoggies. He was a div but so sweet and he had a pet bird that followed him around I seem to recall. My fave mini Marek picture at the end was the Slitting mill one. We're going there this weekend! It's only about 30 mins from us. I want to go and get some pics of the waterfall there while we've still got this beautiful weather. 😁

We absolutely adore your videos, you're our number one RU-vid fave, but please make them longer.. Faaaaaaaar too short. Stay cool 👍

Fun! They've recently announced another Gromit Unleashed trail in Bristol (in 2025, I think) - I enjoyed the previous ones (both with and/or without my niece and nephew!) a lot. As you say, they often take you to places you wouldn't otherwise go, so it's a nice way to see the city. As for childhood cartoon favourites - other than Wallace & Gromit, maybe SuperTed or Danger Mouse? Or the Family Ness? Very hard to pick just one! Oh, and a fun fact to end - I was recently reminded (by an information board while out on a walk, no less) that Plasticine was invented in Bath!I suppose it's quite fitting then that Aardman is based in nearby Bristol

they did a similar trail here in Newcastle but it was Shaun The Sheep. I might go check it out after watching this.

Pretty cool walk, cool dude. London looked so busy! Anyway, off to the organizers as the amount of time and effort put into that whole thing must have been a lot. Incredible you only saw about 1/4 of them as well. Lots of excellent children's characters from the USA, it's hard to remember them all but I used to find Stick Stickly funny. He was a popsicle stick with googly eyes and a jellybean nose who would host Nickelodeon in the afternoons.

What a great idea , my kids loved morph 😊

I used to love Take Hart, was my favourite kids show. I actually had some art on 'The Gallery'. I think my favourite plasticine character would have to be Berk from Trap Door!

People and pigeons are both slow and masters of getting in the way 😂

Favourite childhood characters? There are so many, but Berk from Trap Door and Hong Kong Phooey’s cat Spot spring to mind 😊

Excellent stuff. I used to have a VHS of a show called Button Moon, though I’ll be damned if I can remember a single detail about it. That and the Herbs. I think the lion was called Parsley.

There is a similar charity fund raising thing on the East Yorkshire coast involving giant Puffins , however I have only seen one of the 42 that exist 😟. Dill the dog

Great to see you morphing around the big smoke Marek Stay cool

Cool walk! We had a version of this in Nottingham with all different Robins over the city to find on an app. Loved it! I loved Morph too and did send a few pieces of art in as a kid hoping Tony would put them in the gallery....never happened of course but I did win the drawing competition at school 1st prize so that made up for it a bit 😂 Fave other characters were Dogtanian and the 3 muskehounds, the Racoons, super Ted......so many in the 80s! Even had a teenage mutant ninja turtles bumbag as I liked them so much 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely loved Gumby, he was a big part of my childhood, especially the Gumby Movie where he has a rock band and gets chased through books by a robit version of himself. I love the concept of scavenger hunt walks. My town doesn't have an official walk to go with it to my knowledge, but there are these various sheep statues littered throughout with paintings all over them kind of like those Morphs. So one could probably plot a walk around them if they knew where they all were and publish it. Maybe ill do that one day.

This walk looks cool Trap door! & Morph

Can't talk about Take Hart and not mention Mr Bennett, he was always knocking over ladders and putting his foot in a bucket. One of my faves was the ever dressing up Mr Benn. Great video Marek, despite Alfie!

The Clangers - particularly liked the soup dragon & then Willo the Wisp - Mavis Cruet & Carwash. I did used to like Take Hart also, sent a drawing in once, didn't get in the Gallery though. It was a rubbish drawing.

Very cool Morphs! We recently had Puffins around East Yorkshire and a few years ago some rather large Toads inspired by Phillip Larkin. No fancy apps though! I was always a fan of Oakie Doke, but have just googled him and he looks hideous and not how I remember at all. Childhood ruined 😅 Thank you for the swift delivery of the latest Zine and Mini Marek, both arrived safely yesterday!

Didn't have a particular favourite cartoon character as a kid, but I absolutely adored the old Tex Avery cartoons. The artwork was sublime and many of the jokes very subversive for the 1940s and 50s. The buttock prints in the snow in Rock-A-By-Bear still make me laugh. [Cool Dudes can find it on daily motion]

My favourite children's character was a kid who was 8 years old but would say to his dad after he had finished reading him a bed time story: "Thats nothing mate" and proceed to tell him about how one time he was doing a roofing job round Nottingham way and Dannii Minogue walked past. She heard him singing and promised to put him straight through to the final of X factor. The kid turned it down because he was making enough money from the roofing contract. Good times.

London Parklife Morph had to be my favourite. I think that lady in the market thought you were pointing at her lol I'm in Canada but as a kid Creature Comforts would come on randomly throughout the usual programs and the whole family would run to watch it together. Don't remember much of the show now but good memories, that and Wallace and Gromit of course.

I recently found some of the Swindogs, my favourite was covered in Tunnock’s tea cake wrappers. Ive also enjoyed the more permanent murals that Cheltenham has to offer

If only the Dragons appreciated Noseybonk. We would be in a different world.

My favourite childhood TV characters; the shop-keeper in Mr Benn, Mr Gruber in Paddington Bear, Topov in Pipkins, Animal in the Muppet Show and later when I was in all fairness too old for that kind of thing Boober and Mokey Fraggle and the Doozers

What a great idea for getting people to walk around London. When I went to Berlin in 2012, they had a similar thing with statues they called Buddy Bears. They were all over the city, but there was no app ☹️ My favourite characters as a kid were probably Bagpuss and the Flumps.

Jealous! I really wanted to do this trail, but I got thwarted by torrential rain and train strikes. Always loved Morph, the photo's of him that get uploaded to the official Twitter account are always brilliant. I know for the first Gromit statue trail they brought out porcelain figures of some of the statues, if they do the same for the Morph statue trail, I'll have to treat myself to 1 or 2 figures 🙂🙂

Got to be chortle and the wheelies. Stay cool dude.

Loved Morph- but my favourite was always Trap Door

Clangers and Mr Ben were classics but Bagpuss was brilliant. My now 17yo was introduced to the DVD as a kid and still cites it. In fact anything by the clever Oliver Postgate! CD #123

We seem to have a trail like that every year in Bristol. It started off as Gromits because of the Wallace and Gromit Appeal that supports Bristol Children's Hospital, and we've had some other Aardman characters like Shaun the Sheep and Feathers McGraw, as well as some gorillas which supported Bristol Zoo I think and most recently unicorns which I assume are supporting something related. I think to start with they got auctioned off at the end for charity and lots were bought by businesses so you'll often be driving past some trading estate and see a painted gorilla on the top of a building. I think now they invite businesses to sponsor them instead. I used to like the Raggy Dolls because even though they didn't come out right from the production line and got chucked into a big skip marked 'rejects', they nonetheless managed to have some fun adventures and were friends with each other. I found them highly relatable. I'm not sure the message has aged well but at the time it represented quite advanced thinking.

Tony Hart is everything Rolf Harris isn't. I loved Morph when I was wee

Back in London pick up some proper coin, Marek? Sorry to say that my relatives have mopped up a large portion of it 😂

Pigeons are awesome, especially London pigeons! I met one when I went who was dishevelled and missing a foot, he was so cool. Next time I got to London, I want to do a walk to see all the best brutalist buildings.

Tony Hart was born in my home town Maidstone.

Loved micheal bentines potty time as a kid

Nice one cool dude! Used to love watching pigeon street as a kid

Done most of the Morphs about 55 took. 4 days !

Strangely I was a big fan of Noseybonk

Got to be Captain Caveman and Hong Kong Fooey

My favourite childhood characters / animations was Thomas The Tank Engine

? Beaulieu road train station to dibden valley, or stoneyford pond. Sway train station to burley and back via rhinefield house

I’ve always had a love hate relationship with Pob.

Nice 1 has to be Dogtanion?

Thunder cats, danger mouse, duck tails…

If you were theoretically spending £3000 on a Morph statue, which one would you bid for, cool dude? (You can only pick one, please answer below, I’d be very interested to hear which one. Oh, and one more thing. Stay cool).

cant beat a bit of berk from trapdoor

Bert from Trapdoor...

Chas = Sunglasses Marek

So many humans eek. Marek… As an English person do you know why Joe Jonas is divorcing Sophie Turner. Is it something to do with pigeons or Cornish pasties?

Noggin the Nog 👍

Brilliant walk for a great cause. Nearly as many people as pidgins . Just been to stripy art and the IOW Ghost emporium. Told them who recommended them to us and Kate at the IOW GE. Is looking forward to seeing you. Have you tried the POO museum on the island yet. Just going to put a bid on.

Be careful marek,the big island is scary!
