Have you Seen the film "the day after tomorrow"?
That kind of stuff leaves me shaking with fear.

The sheer fact that there's a producer out there who thinks it's releasable is bad enough, but the storyline and physical impossibilities of some of the scenarios in it is just amazing.

Shoddy movies... They suck my will to live.

I should set the Wombles on them.

We both know
That you can't control the Wombles...
If you could, you wouldn't need that lump hammer, would you?

lol
thats one of my all time fave films. I know the storyline is a bit shoddy. And the whole disaster happened so quick. But the visual effects were amazing!

Wombles
are untrustworthy, they lull you into a false sense of security by doing what you suggest for a while, but don't be fooled, they aren't obeying you, they have ulterior motives.

Wombles *shudder*

But wombles are lovely!
Apart from Madame Cholet - she was a bitch.

Wombles indeed!
You know there's another name for things that live in parks and rummage the contents of refuse receptacles.

Fucking Tramps!

But, but.....
They were lovely. Even now just the sound of Bernard Cribbins's voice makes me feel like a little girl again.
Their little paper decorated burrow and Great Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory and Tomsk...aah....lovely.

Even the music was good - I had a Wombles' poster on my bedroom wall when I was very small.

Madame Cholet...
Not only a bitch, but a loose slag too.

All those male-wombles and only one girl?... eh?? I bet Orinoco had his wrinkly nose in cholet's knicker-drawer at every oppertunity.. sniffing out the crusty womble-gussets...

Just like the sodding smurfs... filthy little buggers. Smurfette was nothing but a cheap make-up-daubed purple smurf-cum whore.

With a lump hammer you can control Wombles... but with enough determination and a well-trained right arm, you could do some serious smurf-control.

Perhaps I'm being harsh
I'm just a cynical child of the 'Rainbow' and 'Superted' and 'Dangermouse' generation. The brief glimpses I had of wombles presumably harked back to a long bygone age of innocence that I wasn't fortunate enough to enjoy.

Could be worse eh? Kids now were influenced by tellytubbies, tweenies et al. No wonder half of them are out smoking crack. God only help my daughters generation (currently babies / toddlers) In The Night Garden is the biggest load of shite yet, I dread to speculate on the subconscious effects Iggle Piggle is having on her impressionable mind.

@ miggyman...
Special effects were great?

I'd daubed more convincing wolf-packs with my own shit than those CGI robots.

The cold air coming down though the eye of the storm?... Why did it show it always coming down like a bloody elevator once it got to its destination? it would have been CONTINUOUS...

Nope. Poorly executed trash. The lot of it.

@ Greencloud
I too grew up with Rainbow - just checked Wikipedia - The Wombles and Rainbow were shown on TV during the 70s - when I was a very small chick.

I remember Superted and especially Dangermouse, but still The Wombles have a special place in my heart.

Despite the evil bitch Cholet.

@Humpty
that never occurred to me before.

You know the Wombling Song?
"Underground, overground, Wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we"

Well, my sister and I both used to think when we were young that the second line was:

"The Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we"

meaning that there were lots of them.

It was years later that we found out Wimbledon Common was a green(ish) area of London.
