Watched that on one youtube after watching a russian version of the same tale.

I remember there was one cartoon I had on vhs. It had bears with butterfly wings and I cant for the life of me remember the title but I still remember the norwegian dub and the song sang during some festival.

Sounds pretty cool, you'll have to let us know when you find it! Only winged bear cartoon I know of was from the Wuzzles which is probably not it, they only had one I think and she's a butter-yellow, her friend is a lion with that has pink or yellow 'bee' wings and is drawn a tad teddy-like.

I'm sure a chunk of whatever harmony gold touched hasn't made it to DVD. (besides Robotech, obviously).

De flyvende bjørnene

The bears you drew are waaay cuter.

I remember one that we taped off of the Disney Channel back in the day.  It was Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.

I think it may have been put on VHS at one point but I have yet to find it on DVD.

I'll second that!

[Einhornbaby]

I didnt know there was an anime of that tale, cool I only knew about the russian version!

[Ponyfan]

One I remember is Angel (Hana No Ko Lunlun)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc0HBsqI4v8


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:

Here is a link to the amazon page for the DVD:

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

Some of them were released in a DVD set:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grimms-Fairy-Tale-Classics-One/dp/B0002475JS
A few episodes were released to a single Region 2 DVD titled "Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics - Volume One" under distribution by Fox Kids and Maximum Entertainment in 2004.[1] The episodes included were:

Hansel and Gretel
Little Red Riding Hood
The Golden Goose
Snow White And Rose Red
Beauty and the Beast

The British newspapers Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror released the following episodes on promotional DVDs:

Snow White
Bluebeard
The Frog Prince
Rapunzel
Rumpelstiltskin
Cinderella
Beauty and the Beast
Puss N' Boots
Little Red Riding Hood
The Golden Goose
Hansel and Gretel

And there seems to be bootlegs of the rest.

Well this exists too.
Except uh, that price. Maybe you can find it at a second hand store.

@Loreofyore
I'm trying to find yours too. I have a feeling that sometimes things like that are released in like a dollar store venue (because: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2016-09-12/.106347 ) or in compilations like I posted in the other post-- making it harder to just google...

I do see it on a R2 DVD -- with an english track here:

[Koudoawaia]

Dang. Is the dvd made out of solid gold and gem encrusted at that price?

I don't think the Noozles ever made it to DVD...that's about all I've got.

[Taffeta]

This thread has actually made me go hunt up tv shows from my childhood. Anime wasn't a huge thing here when I was a kid (not in the sense of being anime, most imported cartoons when I was a kid were American or European, we had a lot of French ones for some reason).

I don't know that I'd necessarily want them on DVD now, either, but things like Sharky and George, Dogtanian, Willy Fogg...stick in my mind as shows my sister and I used to watch early in the morning. Sister liked Albert the Fifth Musketeer as well. I know that was French. I think Sharkey & George was either French or Quebecois, can't remember -although it was dubbed into English.

I guess Dogtanian counts most in this equation as apparently it was Japanese/Spanish originally? I was way too young to get that though, it was just in English here in the eighties

These are all on DVD now I think though :/

Finding this on youtube just kind of made my day xD.

It's called "wanwan sanjuushi!" xD.

There were also some drama series, a lot from Australia that we watched as kids. I remember the Girl from Tomorrow/Tomorrow's End when I was about eight. I loved that show xD. But that's drama, not animated. Also Ocean Oddysey and Round the Twist. We really did import a lot from Australia round that time
