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?
Old Soviet cartoons are so absolutely beautiful! I really do hope you are able to find them someday.
There is a video about Soviet animation, if you haven't seen it already!
Very haunting images, have you tried tracking these cartoons down as an adult?
You definitely should digitally scan and post it somewhere! Im sure there are lots of others who would love being able to see it.
