You know how there's things you watch/play when you're like 5, and become intimately familiar with them as you grow up? Like, Disney movies are a good universal example... But then on the opposite end of the spectrum you have things that only exist on the edge of your memory
Things that you become attached to when you're extremely young, but never go anywhere so your only memory of it is "That weird thing you saw on TV a long time ago but never knew what it was called and have no idea what you would google to find it again"
Anyways, I bring it up because there was an odd claymation TV show I watched so extremely long ago with a weirdly catchy theme song, one that I remembered start to finish but never internalized the lyrics and never decoded it in a way that I could google... Until today
I was thinking about this weird memory and my brain finally responded with "Oscar and Friends", and ohh my god, I found it. I remember the kid in the red shirt, I remember the alarm clock & bird in the nest, I remember the weird long-ear monster. Oh my god
This thread was supposed to end with a feel-good "I finally found my suppressed childhood memory" thing, and yes I did, but mid-writing this I just remembered another "Thing I watched when I was young but don't know the name of" and now that one is gonna bug me
It was like... 2D animated, I might have a VHS of it in my giant pile of old home-recorded VHS's? Movie length (Or movie-length for my toddler-brain, so potentially less than 40 minutes), there was a fat evil guy who turned good at the end, he was pink I think? big nose maybe?
I think the big guy had a bunch of followers who looked kinda like him, it was a bit of a fantasy-setting with like... Some Dr. Seuss-ish aesthetics? Definitely wasn't Dr. Seuss in character design though, there was a dome building maybe? I remember such vague fragments
He was definitely wearing a hat. I keep trying to not mix him up with Dr. Eggman('s Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog TV show appearance) in my head because I think he had a very similar silhouette. Maybe he wasn't pink, maybe he was blue?? Memories are hard
I don't know if this is entirely misleading or not but for some reason my brain keeps saying "the plot had something to do with water". Some of these memories have to be red herrings and I feel like this might be one of them
I do need to elaborate on the "He was evil and turned good" part, because that is 100% the strongest memory, I want to say it was a mind-control thing and not "He changed his morals". Like, something happened and then he was nice suddenly. Something like that??
It was very likely made sometime in the 90s, if not earlier. I have no idea if this weird cartoon movie thing was something any of y'all have seen, if so I would very much like to know because I am infinitely curious as to what this lingering memory belongs to
