Seriously, I don’t just stroll down Memory Lane anymore. Sometimes it seems like I’ve purchased a nice little house there. At the very least, I’ve bought a vacation home in the neighborhood. So… anybody else remember this animated short from Nickelodeon?
I do always wonder what Bella dreams about…
In case you’re wondering why I found this today… be prepared for another scary trip on my train of thought. For some reason I started wondering if there were any videos combining dogs and Beverly Hills, 90210… which led me to this video of a dog reacting to the classic theme song. Of course (?) that got me thinking about the Pound Puppies… so I watched this commercial for Pound Puppies Colorforms. (Remember those? I definitely had this exact set, as well as that Pooch on the Loose game… that thing was awesome.) One of the related videos on the sidebar was the Nickelodeon animated short above… and thus I thought I should share it with you.
I also ended up watching a few other Nickelodeon shorts. It’s amazing how many of them I remembered! I even found two favorites: “Housecats” and “The Cat Came Back.” Apparently the secret word for today is nostalgia.
Hope you’re having a fantastic Sunday!
The "Doggie Dreaming" and the Cat Came Back were kids shorts made by the National Film Board of Canada! I loved it when the Cat Came back was on TV:)
Love it. I was obsessed with Pound Puppies as a kid. In fact, I have a picture of Koly as a puppy the looks exactly like my childhood Pound Puppy toy. Thanks for the memories!
OMG, you made me take a walk down memory lane too–but I was traveling against the traffic.
Did you notice the homage to R Crumb in the picture on the wall in the sleeping dog cartoon? And did you notice the cartoon was produced by Marv Newland (of Bambi Meets Godzilla fame)? What fun!
And I've always loved the Cat Came Back. Never having had cable, however, I had to watch it in the annual Animation Festival that traveled throughout North America.
I'm starting to think I'm your evil pop culture opposite, Pup Fan.
Love the links!! I stay down memory lane most of the time! Lots of love, Debbie & Holly
LMAO! I still have some of my Pound Puppies! oh and Colorforms, I love Colorforms!
I don't remember that cartoon at all, but oh, yes, we had Pound Puppies! I remember the Monchichis, too! Thanks for sending me down Memory Lane, too!
Kolchak Puggle – I bet that's one adorable photo. 🙂
Pamela – Love the R. Crumb homage! I don't think I picked up on that before. I've always wanted an evil twin… perhaps I've found my pop culture one!
houndstooth – Monchichis… yes!
That is such a funny post! The Housecats could so easily be Milly and Poppet – really!
I never watched Nicolodeon, but I loved Colorforms!
We couldn't watch the links, it's probably our PC but we love having trips down memory lane too and go from one link to another just like it sounds you did! Have a good week xxx
Oh my goodness, completely forgot about that! Thanks for sharing your little house on memory lane with us 🙂
I don't specifically remember Pound Puppies Colorforms, but I think I was around for the invention of Colorforms themselves! Ah, the good old days…
Nothing better than remembering. I love to look at old videos. Glad you had a fun time. Take care.
