Vintage kids anime that DVD forgot...

[Ponyfan]

One I remember is Angel (Hana No Ko Lunlun)

The version I remember was only the first 2 episodes of the series although I think there's a longer version that showed more of the story. In the version I saw she was still looking for the flower at the end of the movie. I think it had been released on DVD but not in the US/Canada.


Another one I remember is Toei's Fairy Tale Classics that had several stories on it. The ones I remember most are Cinderella and Ali Baba

Looks like the ZIV dub was put onto DVD in a compilation:

Thanks banditpony. The last time I tried to find it I could only find the Japanese DVD set or a Betamax copy of Angel. 


A lot the cartoons on Nick Jr in the 80s were anime or import from other countries.

I think I only saw one or two episodes of this, but it stuck with me for a long time.  As an adult I wondered if I imagined the whole thing.

Just remembered some others, Phantomcat. I only had episode one and two on VHS. I know it was on separate DVDs but it wasn’t all of them.

Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, and Gargoyles. I know these were only released in the USA but I wish that they were released here in the UK.

I think I vaguely remember that. I also remember the other ones you mentioned airing here but I haven't seen DVDs either (not that I've looked). For some reason this also reminded me of Mummies Alive. That was a weird show...

Another weird show Freakerziod (Freakerzoid...Chimpanzee)

Plus Rudolph’s Shiny New Year

This contains Aladdin and his magical lamp -- maybe the one you are looking for?

Ooh...that image on the back cover looks like it might be the one!  I'll have to look into ordering it.  Thanks!


I wish Disney would put Pepper Ann on DVD.  I loved that one.

I still want Tama and Friends on DVD.

I wish I could remember more about the cartoons I watched on Nickelodeon when we first got the channel. There were some I really liked, but I can't even remember enough to describe them. 

[Ponyfan]

The ones I remember most are "The Adventures of the Little Prince," "David the Gnome" "Noozles"  and "The Littl' Bits"   I barely remember "The Adventures of Little Koala" though.


I think "Little Prince" "Noozles" and "The Littl Bits" are all anime.

Now I'm thinking of Wizbit.

But I am still drawn to non-animated stuff when I think of things that lurk deep in the memory rather than on DVD release. And still miles from anime, although I admit I didn't realise Dogtanian had Japanese links so maybe there was more that I didn't know about as a kid...

A lot of the animated stuff I do remember does have a DVD release already :/

I am now browsing youtube for other nostaglic things though. I guess stuff like Bertha or Pigeon Street probably don't have DVD releases, but they're also pretty British and so don't count? Also Trapdoor. And Stoppit & Tidyup. Weird British TV is weird.

Also Raggy Dolls. I think kids would benefit now from the message of the Reject Bin. It is also apparently on DVD now, but I think it ought to be airing, or something on the same lines...I think "Just to be whoever you are is no disgrace...don't be scared if you don't fit in..." is a better message than "I'm going to teach you how to be friends MY way."

Animaniacs got a DVD release over here recently!! Couldn't believe it when I saw it in HMV. It's just one volume but hopefully the rest of the series will be released later:

I hope they release Tiny Toons and Pinky and The Brain later, too.

yesssss I love Fillmore too!! I wish Disney treated their animated shows better Hardly any of them are on DVD and it's a real shame. Did Recess ever get a proper DVD release? I know it got one or two of those silly "best of" sets at one point.

The Little Troll Prince, Grandma gotRun Over By A Reindeer, and Noah’s Island (the one with the Polar Bear voiced by the late Great Ron Moody).

Little Koala! That's it! That's one of the ones I loved. I clearly remember David the Gnome. My mom loved that show. We taped some episodes off tv. Noozles also looks familiar.

Most the cartoons I watched on Nickelodeon were about animals. I also remember something about raccoons... but I'm not sure if it was Nickelodeon or Disney. I think Nickelodeon first became available here around 1990 or 91 so it would've been around that time.

The Raccoons maybe? Not sure if it was ever on Nick or Disney, though.

[Ponyfan]

@sailorstitch I was also thinking it might be "The Racoons"

@Taffeta. Raggy Dolls looks interesting.
