I need to introduce my little one to Round the Twist

Have you considered going old school? The Ferals, Trapdoor, Duckula, Bananaman, Superted, Dangermouse. I have vague memories of people productions of Nargun & the stars, Chocky. They may be too dated. Secret Valley would certainly be so!

I remember all the older shows and they have the bias of me watching them when I was a kid. I want to sift through the Netflix CGI rubbish and find stuff I could tolerate having on in the loungeroom during a workday

Hitting the SBS cartoon nostalgia hard with Banana Man

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Yes

It’s such a good show. I recommend ‘in the night garden’, too

You can't tell me that psychedelic drugs were not part of the design process for the Ninky Nonk.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

They 100% were for Dr Snuggles!

Haha, yeah. I reckon quite a few kids’ shows had that influence.

The theory in our household is that Upsy Daisy is based on Ari Up (punk rocker with dreads).

I personally like the soothing voiceover by Derek Jacobi, too.

OMG I remember that! Haven't watched it since I was like 5 or 6, it was only the coin purse CEO posted that made me remember it was a thing
