ChelleChelleChelle, JacintaTravinia and i were killing ourselves
trying to remember this cartoon from the 80s –
which were colourful and could roll themselves up in balls.
I even woke up the morning after, thinking
I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT CARTOON THAT IS!!!
Found out it’s the Popples on Twitter from DidiBuli
and was like YES THAT’S IT!!!
While attempting to search for the Popples,
i rediscovered all these old cartoons
whose opening videos made me feel like a child again!
When you think of it,
watching those cartoon intros over and over again
when your senses as a kid are so heightened…
you never forget certain scenes which you always watch out for!
Do you remember:
The Wuzzles!
My fave was always the striped elephant!
The Adventures of Raggedy Ann & Andy!
Duck Tales!
Darkwing Duck
Let’s get dangerous… haha
Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers!
Chip chip chip chip and dale!
Punky Brewster!
Strawberry Shortcake!
I used to have a Strawberry Shortcake tricycle which i was super proud of in kindergarten :p
Gummi Bears!
Gummiberryjuice!
JohnLim also reminded me about the Snorkels!
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles!
(before they became the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!
Looking back now, i have a feeling He-Man is gay.
Smurfs!
Ghostbusters!
Dennis the Menace!
Denver The Last Dinosaur!
Oh, one of my favourites!
Thundercats!
Man, i remember fantasizing being part of the Thundercats 
And everyone knows My Little Ponies!
Jem & The Holograms made little girls back then
want to dress like them and be in a band.
I always like the Misfits more tho,
and wished they had more air time on the cartoon intro!
Captain Planet
I always thought the dude with the red ring had it better than the rest!
Heathcliff!
Potato Head Kids!
Danger Mouse!!!
Charlie Brown!
Alvin & The Chipmunks
the original 80s intro!
I also used to be in love with Jayce (probably because i thought he was the male version of Joyce :p)
from Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors.
Watched this when i was in 7 in UK tho,
so don’t know how many will know this!
I still have my Moon Dreamers storybooks and figurines
and will never get rid of them! Never!
And something i always associated with the Moon Dreamers,
were Keypers!
I still have my pink snail one 
Wow that turned out to be a long post even tho i planned to post less than 5 vids or something
-_-
They just don’t make cartoons like they used to anymore tho,
and i must say,
i’m proud i grew up an 80s baby!!!

As a child, you would take me to Chinatown near Soho and show me off to a different friend every few steps we walked. You seemed to know everyone in the restaurant. And when I couldn’t reply in Cantonese, you’d cluck loudly what a shameful Chinese granddaughter I was for not speaking my mother tongue.
When I was a teen, you’d STILL take to the SAME dim sum restaurant in Chinatown; but we bumped into less people cos more of your friends had passed on.
When I was in my 20s, you’d look so confused every time I told you a different boyfriend’s name 🧐 and call me naughty for changing them too often. 😂
You were outspoken, funny and daring. Once, i took you to the Tate where there was a piece of rope exhibited on the ground, as part of a Dadaism contemporary art show. You said so loudly, “What is this?! I also can do!” not believing it was art, and proceeded to nudge it with your foot much to my horror. 😂
You had ailments towards the end of your life, like walking difficulties and Alzheimer’s, but they could stimes magically disappear. Like when you jumped out of the car in Seremban without your wheelchair when you wanted to eat hakka mee, and gave everyone a heart attack. 🍜 All your 3 children were shouting cos they thought you fell out, but you were already zooming towards the restaurant 🏃🏻♀️😂
So many funny moments with you.
Grateful for them.
Grateful i got to be one of your four granddaughters.
[you also had a grandson and a great grandson. Im sorry the rest of us took / am taking so long.]
Grateful you are at peace and reunited with Yeye.
🤍🤍🤍

We demand:
1) The resignation of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
2) The convening of Parliament
- Malaysia has gone without Parlimen for 181 days since 1st March 2020.
‼️Trigger warning❤️🩹Recap of a bunch of superWTF moments for me:
- the #raisethewhiteflag #benderaputih movement was kickstarted by the rakyat to help those in desperate need of food (ppl eating leaves/stray dogs?! Stealing pet food to feed their kids?!) Then threatened that it’s illegal/political. How liddis
- People are isolated, broke, committing suicide. Disallowing parks to open or hikes in nature (Socially-distanced! Lowers depression!) as part of SOP makes no sense. [5.6.21 lifting in certain states]
- This grand plan to give $ to the people from their own EPF / retirement fund… Daymn, what happened to all that 1MDB mahnay?
- Business-owners being slapped with RM10k fines for tiny misdemeanours of them trying to run business past a certain hour / langgar SOP lain. Dahlah struggling to stay afloat… how pitiful for them!
- That amayzing RM75mil app which we all know coulda cost less than 10% of that
- While the attention is on trying to save the economy, unscrupulous actions in raping our country of its remaining natural resources (and animal poaching!) goes on in the bg💔
The worst is yet to come with the new variants which are more aggressive and subtle, while our hospitals are already packed to the brim.
There is so much to think of and worry about. So many communities with no support or rights - orang asli, foreign workers, refugees, etc.
There is so much potential in younger, smarter, HONEST and more compassionate leaders who can take our country forward.
I have hope.
We all have hope.
We should be able to choose whom we want to lead us.

P/s: I’ve always believed the planet is my home. I feel less entitled to Malaysia, so I have no negative intention of posting this. Just summarizing the news that have been on my friends’ & my minds. I want a world where everyone thrives.](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/210534472_2865089717137585_5761373295457132145_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=BiQmHOt33EAAX9BJDBp&_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&oh=8e8094b237f03bb03018ca26268c5e68&oe=611CEA02)

Happy Earth Day! 
oh my god i’ve been trying to remember what Moondreamers were called since last year! every time i described it to someone (“neh, the one with the small girls and the bright hair”) they’d look at me as if I was making shit up. and there were toys? take photos! i was a very underprivileged kid, didn’t get me any moondreamer toys.
also, you missed out glow worms!
OMG! I loved all those cartoons.I don’t know if you remember Thundercats, MASK and Visionaries as well…yes, I was a bit of a tomboy…and He-Man was most def gay… I watched a couple of episodes a few months back
I forgot all about Moon Dreamers!!!
I did a tv show version of your post last year~

Give it a look if you’re free ya.
80s and 90s cartoon are the best. my favs were Dungeons & Dragons and Jem!!
back then the cartoons are so imaginary and full of fantasy… slides on sparkle wave la, rainbow la. hmmm so fun
those were the days. the good old cartoons.
haha! love them much
keem: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN bout ppl thinking you made the cartoon up in your mind or something! that’s what ppl were saying to us too when we were describing Popples! i remember glow worms!

I went through your post with my sister, and we have so much fun recalling our childhood cartoons!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNm5Hqow78I
I used to have the Popples dolls!
This is probably ze best kinkybluefairy post..hehe. I’m feeling all nostalgic now and I bet all the 80’s baby are feeling it too. And u are right, they don’t make cartoons like they use too. Now its all violent and obscene.
Oh My God!! I’ve been trying to remember the name of the Popples for 6 months now… everytime I described it to ANYONE i was like, “You knowww… the things that were fuzzy balls then they bounced around and turned into creatures.” You could hear them thinking I was a crazy person. Thanks sooo much for relieving me of this!
P.s. I watched the My Little Pony movie on Youtube one day and it was as amazing as I remembered it being when i was a kid.
NOSTALGIC!!!
I miss my old Strawberry Shortcake toys, and coincidentally, I stumbled upon a whole batch of new SS toys at Toys R Us in Empire Mall, Subang today :DD
Thanks for the videos, Joyce! x
Attack of the killer tomatoes was awesome too
