I finally found this show again after all these years! The bleak atmosphere of the show really made an impression on me as a kid, but I could never recall the name of it...
@@bigmacsama it's a story about stray cats living in the woods and forming their own religion, politics, and forms of government. It gets pretty fucked up
I only seen the first 2 seasons as a kid in Australia in the 90's, been very eager to watch the 3 season for a long time, but could never remember the name of it. Thank you for the upload!
I live on rural property, and there’s development going on around us all of the time - even the bushland on the other side of the road has been turned into a housing estate … even the road itself has been widened and developed! 3:05 - I always say this whenever the conversation about subdividing comes up. Why can’t people just leave nature as is? I’m glad to live here - it’s been twenty years this year - but they’re expressing interest to turn our properties into tiny little brick and glass houses, with nowhere for the kangaroos and other wildlife to go! =/
In Sweden we have a tradition of summer leave morning TV for children, where there is usually a main/host program with a story, where they also watch imported dubbed or subbed series. Some parts of the main program are pre-recorded and some parts are live, where children can call in and "help" the characters, and/or play phone games(at least 20 some years ago). In 2000, our summer program was called "Vintergatan 5a" (en. Winter street 5a) where "Winter street" is the Swedish name for the Milky Way. It was about a group of teenagers who got beamed up in a space ship together with a taxi driving old man, and they had to collect different species of plants and animals from planets across the galaxy to "save our planet's future". One of the series that the characters watched each week was this series. Although in Swedish it was called "De vilda djurens flykt" (en. The wild animal's escape).
Remember this as a kid in Australia..also Beatrix Potter tales,babar,oaky doke ,arthur,madaline ,williams wish Wellingtons, little bear and postman pat. This one was much more serious like watership down and charlottes web n weasel was very annoying "you little twirp".
Just watched water ship down for first time, and was led here. I'm going to watch whole series. I'm American so guessing it was not aired here originally as never heard of this before now.
@Tory Sanford yes its very good but as I got to season 3 or 4 it started to miss episodes and couldn't find the missing episodes so I stopped watching but I'd love to get the complete series
Im looking for old anime movie. Onley remeber that : A magician made a evil golem from mud and send it to destroy villiages. But a lil kid did some spell to stop it at the end.
.. I had no idea about this. And here i thought 'Watership down' was almost the farthest these thing's went, Other than Mr. Toad i mean. No one talks about this cartoon, Interesting... ; o
They were both my favourite shows as a kid! Was it as late as 1998-9? I remember watching them in the house I moved out of at the end of 1998. Yeah I think i was in grade 3 which means 1998. I videotaped the episodes every day and watched the ones I had taped many times.
On thinking again, I think it must have been rerun at least once. I feel like I probably first saw it when I was about 7, in 1997. Watching this again, I clearly remember which episodes I had taped because they're very familiar. "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" was one - by around half way through the second season, I was videotaping all of the episodes (I previously was only videotaping the episodes that we had to miss due to not being able to be at home on time, e.g., school music or sports commitment). I had a 3-hour cassette, filled with a few episodes from the first season and then all of the episodes part way through season 2. And I remember that as the first time I'd seen that phrase - I didn't understand what it meant, so I asked my mum. But even the episodes I didn't tape seem more familiar than just having seen then once. Also, I remember it ending at the end of season 2 and being really sad that there wasn't more. But I also remember seeing season 3 at the new house I lived in from late 1998 onwards (mum's still there), because my sister and I used to "play" Animals of Farthing Wood (my favourite games all through childhood were the ones that involved role play as animals or animal characters), and once Plucky came into the picture I always wanted to play as him, but I know only saw the third season once because it feels so much less familiar than the earlier two seasons.
