Does anyone remember this old cartoon?

I used to watch it when I was younger, back in the 80's but I think it may have been old even then!





It had a talking elephant in it, I think he was blue, and he used to get stressed alot.





He was either being chased or hunted or the jungle he lived in was being chopped down or something but he was alway really neurotic!





And he used to shout KUMQUATS! or maybe he only did it in one episode when he couldn't find any food or something, but I'll never forget him shouting it!





KUMQUATS!?!





Anyone else remember it?

But he was a blue aardvark - he had a long trunk like an elephant's


but his mouth was at the end of his trunk instead of on his face


Quite un nerving


It was part of the Pink Panther show in the 70s
Reply:yea i do remember a cartoon with a blue elephant! .was he called Bazzar?
Reply:Don't remember that, did you take any psychotropic drugs in your childhood?
Reply:Did you smoke alot of pot back in the eighties?
Reply:I'm intrigued by your description of this, as no-one in their right mind would design a children's cartoon about a blue elephant shouting KUMQUATS while running through a jungle. But, hey, it was the 80s and there were a lot of drugs out there so perhaps the writer and the script consultants all sat there in a drug-haze saying "yeah man, that sounds cool" and that's how this programme got made.
Reply:Kumquats? I'm sorry I have no idea but I'm kind of curious about it. Let me know.
Reply:i know what you're talking about but i can't remember the name either. i'll look around

Little Blue was the story of an elephant who when having a bath one day got his mummy's fountain pen and broke it in two. The ink went everywhere and no matter how hard they scrubbed the little elephant had to stay a little blue.








Little Blue, Little Blue


Why do they call you li-i-ttle blue?


Sitting in his bath one day as some of us do.


He bit his Mummy's fountain pen and broke it in two.


The ink it splurted in the water - WOW!


His Mummy has a blue boy now.


Oh, oh Mummy, Mummy what shall I do?


They'll have to call you little Blue-oo-oo-oo

Babar the Elephant is a popular French children's fictional character who first appeared in History de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff in 1931 and enjoyed immediate success. English language versions, entitled The Story of Babar, appeared in 1933 in Britain and the United States. The story is based on a tale by Brunhoff's wife, Cecile, had invented for their children. It tells of a young elephant called Babar who leaves the jungle, visits a big city, and returns to bring the benefits of civilisation to his fellow elephants.





In the uk we had a version of it on our tv's in the 80's . Hope this helps :)

Reply:i think its called little blue. he got his name cos when he was playing in the bath he broke his mums fountain pen and he got covered in ink permanently. yes you are right in saying he was always stressed out.
