'Noah's Island', by chance?

Hojski-bojski!

Jungle Book: Adventures Of Mowgli?

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #2302 on:** 30 Dec 2020, 10:32 »

Neither, and "Hojski-bojski!" I don't know what it is, Googling it gave no answers either.

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics?

Reiter · « **Reply #2304 on:** 30 Dec 2020, 18:07 »

Hah! Well, the program 'Noah's Island' is about a drifting volcanic island, and the polar bear Noah that finds it and becomes its captain. He assembles a crew out of all sorts of animals who come to the island after circus boat ship-wrecks and so forth.

One of captain Noah's merry men is a sort of Russian shrew called Sasha. His 'catch-phrase'?

'Hojski bojski!'

He said that at any opportunity, I seem to recall. And ended all his sentences with '-skij', I think. It was a long time ago. It may be different in English.

I see, I thought it was another show...

Anyway, not Grimm's either.

No more guesses?

It does look very familiar, but it's not something I can remember the name of.

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #2308 on:** 01 Jan 2021, 14:31 »

Not sure where it aired, I know for sure it aired in Portugal and for sure in Germany (since the ones I have, have the intro in German)...

Maybe this will help a bit:

The art style looks like it was possibly animated in Japan in the late 70s/early 80s. And the setting would appear to be the US or Canada.

I'm pretty sure it's wrong, but the only thing I can find info on that checks all the boxes is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Tomu Sōyā no Bōken.

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #2310 on:** 01 Jan 2021, 18:28 »

It's not Tom Sawyer, but everything else is spot on.

A few right key words on Google and you should be able to find some pics of the show... At least now I know how it's called in French.

Inuk?

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #2312 on:** 01 Jan 2021, 20:22 »

If you mean this show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488816/ , then no. Like VW said it's from late 70s.

Frodo · « **Reply #2313 on:** 01 Jan 2021, 21:13 »

Ack. I was looking for 'tv programme animated japan 1970', so don't know why that came up. Sorry.

Monarch: The Big Bear of Tallac

It occurred to me that it resembled the Heidi anime, so I figured out it must be one of the World Masterpiece Theater productions by Nippon Animation. Edit: Actually it turns out I read the Wikipedia article wrong, and this was never part of that series, but it did the trick. (I didn't watch any of these shows as a child, but I was a big fan of Dogtanian from the same studio.)

Cassiebsg · « **Reply #2315 on:** 02 Jan 2021, 01:08 »

Yup, that's the one.

I knew it all my life as "Jacky"... and now as Jackie and Jill: The bear of Tallac. (Jacky is the name of the brown bear, and Jill is his sister, the lighter colored cub)

Snarky · « **Reply #2316 on:** 05 Jan 2021, 07:39 »

Back to something more… contemporary?

Sinitrena · « **Reply #2317 on:** 05 Jan 2021, 08:31 »

Complete guess, because I haven't seen it yet (it's on my watchlist) Bridgerton?

Snarky · « **Reply #2318 on:** 05 Jan 2021, 10:25 »

Hah! That was what I was trying to trick you into guessing.

Though I thought it might take this screen to do it:

VampireWombat · « **Reply #2319 on:** 05 Jan 2021, 14:31 »

I think that's Nicholas Hoult in the wig in the first image. If so, that would mean this is probably The Great. Which I haven't seen, but I've seen enough commercials for to know Nicholas Hoult was in it.
