Guess the TV show

'Noah's Island', by chance?

Hojski-bojski!

Frodo · Wed 30/12/2020 05:04:41

Jungle Book: Adventures Of Mowgli?

Cassiebsg · Wed 30/12/2020 10:32:16

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

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics?

Reiter · Wed 30/12/2020 18:07:11

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.

Cassiebsg · Wed 30/12/2020 18:50:06

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

Anyway, not Grimm's either.

Cassiebsg · Fri 01/01/2021 12:36:08

No more guesses?

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

Cassiebsg · Fri 01/01/2021 14:31:15

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 SÅyÄ no BÅken.

Cassiebsg · Fri 01/01/2021 18:28:02

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.

Frodo · Fri 01/01/2021 20:00:20

Inuk?

Cassiebsg · Fri 01/01/2021 20:22:21

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

Frodo · Fri 01/01/2021 21:13:12

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 · Sat 02/01/2021 01:08:41

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 · Tue 05/01/2021 07:39:18

Back to something moreâ€¦ contemporary?

Sinitrena · Tue 05/01/2021 08:31:44

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

Snarky · Tue 05/01/2021 10:25:54

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

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

VampireWombat · Tue 05/01/2021 14:31:30

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.
