I used to have these videos with old cartoons on them, and this is one of them.


I always knew this show as The Adventures of Peter Cottontail and All His Friends, but I have come to know that it was released under different names as well. This series was based on the childrens books by Thornton W. Burgess. The interesting thing is though, this series originated out in Japan, and is actually an anime. In Japan it was called Yamanezumi Rocky Chuck, and was done by Zuiyo Enterprises in 1973. It was distributed all around by a company called ZIV International. Well Zuiyo is now Nippon Animation which doesn't have anything to do with it now. ZIV International seems to have dissapeared as well


The series was brought out to the US in '78.}Another popular name for this show was Fables of the Green Forest, which never heard of till now. The show was distributed out on VHS by Family Home Entertainment, and Media Home Entertainment, and I believe AIMS Multimedia in the 80's The videos I had though were recorded.

I still have one video with two episodes on it. Both of them have Buster the Bear in them.

I did have another video with a couple more episodes (one which includes Johnny's secret door), but that seems to have turned up missing. My mom claims we gave it to my Aunt, and if thats true, I want it back.

I've seen just the opening credits of "Fables of the Green Forest". It was from a "Spunky & Tadpole" VHS tape. I've seen it but I can't find it because, I threw most of the VHS's in the garbage. I can't post the intro to Retrojunk. Sorry. :( It was done by ZIV International in the US. It was an animae show. ZIV was also the company that produced a TV special called "Hey Abbott!" with Milton Berle where he featured clips from Abbott & Costello including his baseball routine "Who's on First?". I have the TV special from 1978. It has the ZIV name on it.

Oh gosh, I hate that show. It's just that typical cliché 'bunnies and birds are good guys while bears and foxes are bad guys' thing. It's just so stupid, forgive me.

The Adventures of Peter Cottontail and All His Friends, I have that. It's at my mothers house in an old toy been from when i was younger. I don't remember if i liked it all that much, in fact i don't even really remember anything about it except for the fact that i have it.

Well just thought i'd say somethin'

Can't be that cliché, as the episodes are based off of original story books.



Well thanks for saying something :)

At least I am not alone in knowing the show by that title.
