Popples

Show Summary

Aired: 1985 - 1987
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The Popples was a 30-minute cartoon based on a series of toys created by American Greeting Cards & Mattel. The show aired from 1985-87. These fuzzy, colorful and 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.

The Popples only revealed themselves to two children, Bonnie and Billy, whose attic they lived in. Popples repeat the "p" sound for words beginning in "P". For instance, Party will say, "P-p-popples love to p-p-party!"

The basic plot of every episode was that the Popples follow Bonnie and Billy somewhere against the childrens' wishes, make a HUGE mess right when an adult walks away, and they must clean up their mess before the adults return. Many times, the Popples will ask the audience to lend them a hand too.

I had a couple of Popples and I had a Popples sleeping bag. But I don't remember too much of the show. :(

Awww....poor Jukebox980. Maybe one of us can share our popples with you. lol
I still have a couple of them.
They came out with some a few years ago, which I bought for my daughter. They giggle and have little hearts on them that light up. She clearly wasn't as excited to get one as I was when I was little. They were definitely not as popular as they were in the 80's.
