[Monsters of my Childhood]

While I was doing additional research for my Mapping project of last term,I decided to remember my childhood and little cartoon characters I used to fancy.First thing I remembered was cute series of famous "Skelanimals".Despite the fact they are dead,showing of skeleton and stuff they are still cute.Back then I remember having a lot of stuff like keyrings,stuffed animals,t-shirts,notepads and pens with these pretty little monsters.

Second thing that I remembered was "Uglydoll" by David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim.I bought my first toy at The Design Museum around 5 years ago,while I was attending short summer course at St Martins.I just fell in love with it and took it home,so adorable it was.Sometimes I still see these toys in some museum stores.Those toys are not scary-they are adorable,bright,but they are still monsters.This dissonance makes you kinda feel sorry for the toy's ugliness and love it even more,imperfect things are always the prettiest.

The last thing that I brought back from my memories was "Happy Three Friends" series by Mondo Mini Shows.Basically, it is a series of short (2-7 minutes) cartoons about cute forest animals.Anatomically they are drawn right,making funny noises and smiling all the way,untill someone puts pen in other's eye,smash them in the face by accident or cut themself some part of the body.By mistake.
Remembering myself back then,me and my classmates really enjoyed these "funny" cartoons along with thousands of other children.I decided to watch a few episodes to refresh my mind and felt pure disguse.How could we watch this?It's horrible,violent and kind of abnormal.A lot of adults say that they show these to their children;no wonder that a lot of kids are violent.Each day kids receive as much of information as we couldn't get for weeks or months a few years ago,all thanks to internet.All this stuff bring a thought that we seriously overload our minds with useless information,leaving no space for our own thoughts...
But yup,here are some episodes of "Happy Tree Friends".Enjoy! (?)
