Even at a very young age I thought that a lot of these were soppy. The Clangers were not. Weird and humorous. At school we would imitate the speech. I also remember a lot of weird stuff from behind the Iron Curtain, Czechoslovakia I think. Some of it scratched on the raw, unexposed, undeveloped, film. Then there were the shadow puppet theatre short films. No speech just crazy music - so no language barrier. Must have been cheap for the BBC - it mattered in those days.

Say what you please, so long as it's phrased politely and is not libellous or legally proscribed. Fact, reason and wit are keenly welcomed.

I remember some of those commie cartoons - e.g. Didi and Gogo?
