I remember having quite a few VHS tapes from a company called “Just For Kids”, that had some of the neatest shows.
“Sherlock Hound”, “Kissyfur”, “Foofur”, “Seabert”, and quite a bit more. My siblings and I loved animals, so this got us interested right away!
I also grew up in a religious household, so Christian videos were standard for us.
Did you know that there was a bible-story-centric anime called “Superbook”? Used to watch it all the time! There was also “McGee and Me”, “Secret Adventure”, and “Adventures in Odyssey”. Used to listen to the “Adventures in Odyssey” radio show all the time!
“The Donut Man” was a Barney-esque Christian show for kids, too.
What obscure things did you watch growing up?
Very haunting images, have you tried tracking these cartoons down as an adult?
I have! Every now and again I’ll think of it and sit down to try and find the anthology we had. And that’s actually where I got the screenshots from. There is a copy of “The Fisherman and the Fish” story on youtube.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to find the one I really want of the ice/glass mountain (the mountain kind of looks like the image above from what I recall). I plan on looking for the VHS at my parents house and getting it digitally scanned it if it’s still in ok condition.
You definitely should digitally scan and post it somewhere! Im sure there are lots of others who would love being able to see it.
