Friendly day, time to play Roo-Bear and his friends. The fun and laughter never ends!Koala's lead the way on a sunny day! We all love to play!I'm pretty sure thats how it went... awesome show! I wish they still showed TV shows like that on Nick. The crap they show on Nick is not the type of things I want my kids watching when I have them.I hope they come out with DVD's of this stuff...I Know the Mysterious Cities of GOld is supposed to come out on DVD in 2008. THe English version.I have some of the noozles VHS tapes and some David the knome. That was quality stuff! They just don't make stuff like this anymore...

I have first seen this show on Nickeloden years back, and it definetly caught my attention. It was a cute show, but not sickning cute, which is good. And it deals with things like "Conflict", "Diversity" and "Using your imagination", without being so PC and preachy too! Unlike most stuff in this era.Then at Korean school, I saw the ORIGINAL Korean dialogue version of it, and I still fell in love with it. I like the Korean dialogue alot more and the soundtrack seems more upbeat and catchy.But either way, it is reccomended, no matter if it is in English, Korean or Japanese.

I think if you remember this show, then you were truly a dedicated cartoon-watching 80s child. I still have a little stuffed Koala named Roo-Bear. I don't know about everyone else, but I happen to think the shows now just aren't anywhere near what they used to be.

I remember that as a kid I didn't admit to watching this, probably because I was already 7 when it had just come out and thought it was for ages toddler to 5 ys. or the agegroup defined today as the "Nick Jr. crowd". Although this was the case, there were themes aimed at older children, themes preschoolers wouldn't have understood. Like both Rubear's and the troublemaker's (forget his name)longstanding crush on that other female koala Betty, and one episode I remember clearly, when that troublemaker called the female penguin's character chubby and she started running and became anorexic and passed out. Weather-the wise grown-up(cat?) who always hid his mouth with a scarf (and always had a little pet squirrel on his shoulder)used a metaphor of red balloons-blowing one up halfway and the other all the way, and asked the girl penguin which one looked nicer..that episode really stuck out... ....Which brings me to Weather. His name was Weather, though he didn't talk about the weather, just gave a lot of great advice. As weird as it sounds I've always had a crush on Weather and think his character should be involved in a spinoff of some sort!... Finally, this show marks when I first noticed the dramatic power of animation ...that it could be drawn and directed to convey emotion..it introduced me to animae, which I later became very fond of. I believe <The Adventures of the Little Koala> was also the introduction for many children of my age in the United States to Asian animation.
