"The Moomins"

Recently for watever reason..I remembered an old kids tv show i used to watch..as a young adult...called the moomins, i think it was about little white and pink hippos wjho looked very much as if they were under the inf;luence of drugs..was quite a good show actually..does anyone else remeber them? or an of their adventures?

It's true that they were odd... And incredibly creepy...

Indeed. Damn Norwegians...

Still, childhood is filled with creepy characters, and you just have to live with them.

"Two plus two is four..."

Except Barney and the Crazy Frog. They must burn.

I remember thegerrid having an obsession with them.

I miss those days.

To this day, thinking about them still incites the same feeling of weird creepiness that it did then. It's almost indefinable what made/makes them so creepy. The fac they're mouthless? That they look like hippos? That they had huge eyes? The weird spookiness of the stories?

What Rasta said.
Just ... no.

Kind of creepy, sullen, ethereal weirdness. It's like they were all dead, but came back and never quite managed to be alive again ... just spooky with wide-eyed 'yeah we might just kill you' expressions.

I don't know how anyone could like it. And that shortarse in the red coat ... with the hideous voice ... argh, not a nice show.

Hold me.

I'm sorry, we're all out of copies of you
