Flashback Friday

Seeing a picture this week of Madelyn on her blessing day...

For some reason, made me think of these little guys...

They're both pretty cute, and furry, wouldn't ya say??

Do you remember the Monchichis,
back in the day when Saturday Morning Cartoons
were the best reason to wake up early on the weekend?

From the ToonTracker site:

“Way up in the trees live the Monchhichis…”

The Monchhichis resided in the woodsy kingdom of Monchia, under the rule of a benign wizard, Wizzer. This tribe of highly-developed monkey-like creatures lived in the tops of very tall trees, high above the clouds. Their idyllic life was continually threatened by the gloomy Grumplins of nearby Grumplor, whose evil leader enjoyed being called "your loathsomeness" and "your nastiness". The wise Wizzer would often conjure up powerful spells to save the Monchhichis from the evil grasp of the Grumplins. Fortunately, the Monchhichis were smarter and more resourceful in their efforts to protect their treetop society. The Monchhichis originated as a line of dolls in Japan in the 1970's. Their success in Japan prompted toy maker Mattel to introduce them to the American market, spawning this Hanna-Barbera Production. The show aired from 9/10/83 through 9/1/84 on ABC-TV.
