Saying cartoon feels almost "too cheap") as a child. So I was quite happy +about it. I've been re-watching this, I think, the first time in around 30 years. +(And I'm not quite finished yet). + +I expected kind of nostalgia. What did I get? [1]
+I feel kinda… surprised that I remember *absolutely nothing* from the plot. + +I mean, sure, the animals were leaving their original home due to human destruction. +I remembered at least one of the main characters. But apart from that? +Nothing "rung a bell". I didn't remember *any* episode. + +So it's not like refreshing memories, but it's more like watching this for the first time. + +And also, maybe this is because "I'm an adult now", but, oh boy, this series is *dark*. + +Oh, and also: I was kinda also hoping to hear the German intro (or was in the outro?) song again, +["Gib Niemals Auf"](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=lqypNpCOdWE) by "Corinna and Dirk". +But for some reason (copyright / legal stuff maybe?) both the beginning +and the ending only have the instrumental part. Which is a bit of a pity. + +So yeah, that's all, just this. + +[1] Tears! -- cgit v1.2.3
