Guest chunky Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 This books are still well worth a read! Mr Happy is really funny. Remind anyone of the acid house smiley happy face? Mr Tickle is a naughty little bugger, great sense of humour in him though. Got to admire his prankster attitude. All the episodes seem to be on youtube. The 1970s version is the best, with the gorgeous English accent and the tripped out music. Yes, I know they're for babies. So what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caretstik Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'll always love the Mr. Men first gen. I had the full set of those books as a young kid. Original cartoons were utterly ace as well. I felt a bit disturbed when Arthur Lowe was decapitated in Theatre Of Blood, was weird seeing him in O! Lucky Man as well. My favourite was Mr. Bump, makes me feel much better about my being such a clumsy fuckwit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The cartoons still stand up for this generation of kids too - I've still got the complete collection of them on VHS and my nieces and nephews love them as much as I still do. Most chilled out cartoons I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I had these books as a kid!

Caretstik Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I had the complete collection of books as they were when I was a nipper in the 70s, before all that new wave type Mr.Men/Little Miss bollocks shat in the pool of my childhood nostalgia. Gave them to my nephew when he was a toddler and they must've survived all of a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The cartoons still stand up for this generation of kids too - I've still got the complete collection of them on VHS and my nieces and nephews love them as much as I still do. Most chilled out cartoons I've ever seen. agreed... cartoons and childrens tv was so much more chilled out in that era... my daughter loves mr. men, mr. benn, the flumps, bagpuss - all so slow paced and beautifully animated... a lot of the modern stuff she watches is frantic in comparison. I had these books as a kid! Great stuff.. really strange though, about a week ago me and my gf were talking about this series and randomly bought this "Mr Jihad" t-shirt in Bankok as a souvenir... and then this thread pops up! man, that is a horrible t-shirt!
