ChelleChelleChelle, JacintaTravinia and i were killing ourselves
trying to remember this cartoon from the 80s –
which were colourful and could roll themselves up in balls.
I even woke up the morning after, thinking
I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT CARTOON THAT IS!!!
Found out it’s the Popples on Twitter from DidiBuli
and was like YES THAT’S IT!!!
While attempting to search for the Popples,
i rediscovered all these old cartoons
whose opening videos made me feel like a child again!
When you think of it,
watching those cartoon intros over and over again
when your senses as a kid are so heightened…
you never forget certain scenes which you always watch out for!
Do you remember:
The Wuzzles!
My fave was always the striped elephant!
The Adventures of Raggedy Ann & Andy!
Duck Tales!
Darkwing Duck
Let’s get dangerous… haha
Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers!
Chip chip chip chip and dale!
Punky Brewster!
Strawberry Shortcake!
I used to have a Strawberry Shortcake tricycle which i was super proud of in kindergarten :p
Gummi Bears!
Gummiberryjuice!
JohnLim also reminded me about the Snorkels!
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles!
(before they became the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!
Looking back now, i have a feeling He-Man is gay.
Smurfs!
Ghostbusters!
Dennis the Menace!
Denver The Last Dinosaur!
Oh, one of my favourites!
Thundercats!
Man, i remember fantasizing being part of the ThundercatsΒ 
And everyone knows My Little Ponies!
Jem & The Holograms made little girls back then
want to dress like them and be in a band.
I always like the Misfits more tho,
and wished they had more air time on the cartoon intro!
Captain Planet
I always thought the dude with the red ring had it better than the rest!
Heathcliff!
Potato Head Kids!
Danger Mouse!!!
Charlie Brown!
Alvin & The Chipmunks
the original 80s intro!
I also used to be in love with Jayce (probably because i thought he was the male version of Joyce :p)
from Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors.
Watched this when i was in 7 in UK tho,
so don’t know how many will know this!
I still have my Moon Dreamers storybooks and figurines
and will never get rid of them! Never!
And something i always associated with the Moon Dreamers,
were Keypers!
I still have my pink snail oneΒ 
Wow that turned out to be a long post even tho i planned to post less than 5 vids or something
-_-
They just don’t make cartoons like they used to anymore tho,
and i must say,
i’m proud i grew up an 80s baby!!!Β 
oh my god i’ve been trying to remember what Moondreamers were called since last year! every time i described it to someone (“neh, the one with the small girls and the bright hair”) they’d look at me as if I was making shit up. and there were toys? take photos! i was a very underprivileged kid, didn’t get me any moondreamer toys. π
also, you missed out glow worms!
OMG! I loved all those cartoons.I don’t know if you remember Thundercats, MASK and Visionaries as well…yes, I was a bit of a tomboy…and He-Man was most def gay… I watched a couple of episodes a few months back
π π π
I forgot all about Moon Dreamers!!!
I did a tv show version of your post last year~

80s and 90s cartoon are the best. my favs were Dungeons & Dragons and Jem!!
back then the cartoons are so imaginary and full of fantasy… slides on sparkle wave la, rainbow la. hmmm so fun π
those were the days. the good old cartoons.
haha! love them much
keem: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN bout ppl thinking you made the cartoon up in your mind or something! that’s what ppl were saying to us too when we were describing Popples! i remember glow worms!
cyn: yeah i was thinking i really can’t put all of them, too many! heh
nonnie: looking now!
kim: yeah i remember D&D, but i didn’t really like it, so didn’t put here hahah :p
suraya: yeah π gone are the days of imagination of that kind. Tho nowadays we do have Pixar π

I used to have the Popples dolls! π
This is probably ze best kinkybluefairy post..hehe. I’m feeling all nostalgic now and I bet all the 80’s baby are feeling it too. And u are right, they don’t make cartoons like they use too. Now its all violent and obscene.
Oh My God!! I’ve been trying to remember the name of the Popples for 6 months now… everytime I described it to ANYONE i was like, “You knowww… the things that were fuzzy balls then they bounced around and turned into creatures.” You could hear them thinking I was a crazy person. Thanks sooo much for relieving me of this!
P.s. I watched the My Little Pony movie on Youtube one day and it was as amazing as I remembered it being when i was a kid. π
NOSTALGIC!!!
I miss my old Strawberry Shortcake toys, and coincidentally, I stumbled upon a whole batch of new SS toys at Toys R Us in Empire Mall, Subang today :DD
Thanks for the videos, Joyce! x
Attack of the killer tomatoes was awesome too
