I have a few memories of what are potentially "lost media" from my early childhood. Can anyone help me find out what they are?
The first is a short cartoon broadcast on a variety cartoon show called It's a Small World or just Small World that only aired at like 6 AM on Cartoon Network. It was sometime in the latter half of the 90s. The cartoon was about a small boy who got caught by a monster, but the monster let him say goodbye to his parents before being eaten by the monster, though the parents seemed uncaring. Then the monster ate the boy, and went into the boy's house, where the parents treated the monster as if it were their son, uncaringly.
The second is actually from my earliest memory. I was only 1 and a half at the time, and I was visiting my grandparents in Charlotte, North Carolina. I remember watching a cartoon about a little boy crawling through holes in walls and secret passages in between walls. I think someone was chasing him. The colors were rather washed out and pastel-ish. It may have been a Harold and the Purple Crayon short, but I don't think so. This would have been in 1993 or early 1994.
OMG! I found the monster cartoon! It's called Not Now Bernard and it's a short from a series called Anytime Tales, which was broadcast on the Small World variety show. Here's a link to someone who uploaded it from a VHS: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kapWJP5lDT8
Oh! This reminds me of so many shows I used to watch with my brother and sister. Now, I watch new shows like the ones by Andy Yeatman with my kids. The time I spend with them is amazing. Sometimes I wish I could do it all day long.
