The Popples<\/i> was a 30-minute cartoon based on a series of toys created by Those Characters from Cleveland<\/a>, a subsidary of American Greeting<\/a>. The original show aired from 1985-1987. These fuzzy, magical creatures could pull anything out of the pouches on their backs from a hammer to an elephant. They also flipped into their pouches to become balls of fur to bounce around or hide. The name “Popples” came from the popping sound they made when they sprang back out of a ball to normal.<\/p>\n

The Popples only revealed themselves to two children,\u00a0Bonnie and Billy<\/a>, whose attic they lived in, and later to their neighbors who wound up living with the Baby and Punk Rocker Popples. At the beginning, all the Popples names started with “P”, including the original 9 Popples, Punk Rocker Popples, and the Pufflings. However, the Baby Popples and the Sports Popples do not have names that begin with “P”. Popples repeat the “p” sound for words beginning in “P”. For instance, Party will say, “P-p-popples love to p-p-party!”<\/p>\n

The basic plot of every episode was that the Popples follow Bonnie and Billy somewhere against the children’s’ wishes, make a HUGE mess right when an adult walks away, and they must clean up their mess before the adult returns. Many times, the Popples will ask the audience to lend them a hand too.<\/p>\n

One of the amazing things about the Popples is that there are no evil villians in the show and it still held an audience.<\/p>\n
