Tangled Cutie

I was watching Tangled with my niece the other evening and must say my fave character wasn't one you would expect! No, it wasn't the Princess but instead was Rapunzel Maximus (aka the horse). I really liked this character as it was a horse but personified a dog... a dorse of sorts! Well, whatever it officially is, I say Hello There Cutie! xxxo

Cute at Any Price!

Magilla Gorilla was the tar of THE MAGILLA GORILLA SHOW which ran from 1963 to 1966 and has been rerun ever since. Magilla spent his days in the display window of Mr. Peebles' Pet Show, eating bananas and being a clown for passersby. Desperate Mr. Peebles continually marked down Magilla's price to make the gorilla more attractive to potential customers. Each episode, Magilla would go home with a new owner, but somehow always ended up returning to the store.

One customer who was honestly interested in owning the big ape was a little girl named Ogee, who often asked "How much is that gorilla in the window?" .

We've got a gorilla for sale...
Magilla Gorilla for sale.
Won't you buy him...
take him home and try him...
gorilla for sale.

Don't you want a new gorilla you can call your own...
a gorilla who'll be with ya when you're all alone.

(Ogee speaking): "How much is that Gorilla in the window?"

Take our advice...
at any price...
a gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice.
Gorilla... Magilla Gorilla for sale!

Saturday Morning Cuties

After a few years of Saturday morning reruns, THE FLINTSTONES returned to the airwaves on CBS in 1971 as part of THE PEBBLES AND BAMM-BAMM SHOW. Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble were now suddenly smitten teenagers and voiced by Sally (ALL IN THE FAMILY) Struthers and Jay (DENNIS THE MENACE) North! The show ran for a few seasons, returning periodically in repeats and debuting on DVD in 2008. These cuties were eventually married, making the Flintstones and Rubbles not only neighbors, but family too.

A Cute Happy Ending

In the last of our series of Hello Kitty fairy tales it looks like our Kitty's mouth is back back to normal. A happy ending if there ever was one!

Sleeping Cutie

Cold and rainy days like this make us want to stay in bed. Hello Kitty is the Sleeping Princess in this fourth in a series of animated fairy tales. Yawn! I'm getting drowsy just thinking about it...

Heidi Cutie

Third in the series. And yes, Hello Kitty has a mouth - how else is she to talk and sing???

Cute & Christian

As mentioned yesterday, the late Art Clokey also created Davey and Goliath, a series of short animated stories that told morality tales through the adventures of a Protestant family that include trouble-prone Davey, his little sister Sally and their talking dog Goliath. These simple shorts ran Sunday morning on local TV stations throughout the 1960s up until the 80s and were clever and cute. I'd rather watch these then go to church!

Gumby, Pokey & Cutie

Animation legend Art Clokey passed away yesterday. Art was a pioneer in stop-motion clay animation, beginning in 1955. He is best known for his adorable animated television character Gumby. Since the 1950s Gumby and his pony pal Pokey have been a familiar presence on TV and in a 1995 feature film, Gumby: The Movie. Clokey's other famous production is the duo of Davey and Goliath, a series of religious-themed shorts funded by the Lutheran Church. If you've got a heart, then Gumby's a part of you...

Happy 400, Cutie!

Sherri's post below (of the adorable deer) is number 400.!!! It's hard to believe that when we started this blog back in June that we'd find enough cute things to keep it going daily...but there's just no end in sight to all the cuteness in the world. For example...
Warner Bros.' Pussyfoot is your Love Kitten!

Cutie New Year

Cute & Smart

Bashful, But Cute!

Walt Disney's animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) is based on the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm. In the story, princess Snow White escapes being murdered by the Huntsman (who was hired by the wicked stepmother, the Queen) and winds up at cottage belonging to seven dwarfs, who work in a nearby mine. The dwarfs return home to find their cottage clean and Snow White sleeping across three of their beds. The princess awakens and is welcomed into their cute home. She soon begins a new life cooking and keeping house for the dwarfs. The cutest of the dwarfs is voiced by Scotty Mattraw as Bashful, named because he is the shyest of the dwarfs, and is often embarrassed by the presence of any attention directed at him.
