Animals of Farthing Wood - Intro

[@NunofyaFB]

Game of thrones for children

[@smokeylee1986]

Best comment ever.

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Precisely!

[@thetasigma2]

Man this show was so awesome, such a great plotline, great animation quality and great voice acting. They sure don't make them like they used to. I think this is the show that turned me into a tree hugger!

[@guyaumrk8290]

>getting psyoped as a child

[@jorgancrath2885]

This was a truly unique and quality show for kids.

[@Dommie222]

And that's why it was so fucking awesome!

[@espeon1984]

This show was George R. R. Martin's attempt at children's television. Then he learned how to kill off fewer characters, and wrote Game of Thrones.

[@jaal426]

I don't even watch Game of Thrones and I laughed, haha

[@SnowTails]

same here haha I have heard about what he does lol

[@HiveMistress]

Really?! He wrote both shows?!

[@user-lg8cs1uc1n]

HiveMistress no, obviously not. It’s just a joke about the similarities between the shows: the death of many major characters.

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

Ah yes, Animals of Farthing Wood, also known as "that show where half of the cast dies in the most horrific and heartbreaking ways possible because it's the 90's and nightmare fuel is good for the soul." I still get sad when I think about the mice and the hedgehogs...oh God, the hedgehogs *cries* (seriously though, I loved this show. The reason it was so much more dramatic was because it was written so well, you were emotionally invested in these animals, you wanted them all to make it because they were all surprisingly strong personalities given how large the group was, so the impact of one dying or leaving was that much more powerful). I always loved Adder, she was a sass-master

[@TakesTwoToTango]

THE HEDGEHOGS :( *relives childhood trauma crying in fetal position*

[@Sataandagi96]

TakesTwoToTango SERIOUSLY! Even after 14 years this was still the most traumatizing thing ever!

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

Sataandagi96 "Don't curl up dear, whatever you do, don't...curl...up." *cries a river*

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

Sataandagi96 Now I think I know why I half-obsess about the welfare of the hedgehog in our garden.

[@CarrolGhiacciolo]

Ally Gator Animator And then they say that everyone dies in Game of Thrones :D

[@L0zzle]

This taught us kids about real life.. no holding back!!!! I cried so much when poor Mole died, then Badger... and poor Bold the lion cub!! What a tragedy. This is TRUE classic kids TV right here, they don't make 'em like this anymore!

[@susanwade1895]

You mean “fox cub!!”

[@MsBlackmoon95]

This TV-serie was one of my favourites when I was little! This was the best cartoon ever showed in Finland! ^^ I admit, I cried when I remembered how wonderful this serie was :) Oh this nostalgia!

[@AhsokaTano36BBY]

One of the best shows. I can remember this episode where the animals had to cross the highway. Like seriously they just want to kill off everyone lol. and then later one of the owls accidentally grabbed and killed one of the mice.

[@StansGrandson]

Kestrel ;)

[@ravenscrazylifeforever3091]

It was the Kestrel. Not the Owl.

[@-Len.]

Omg this brings back soooo much memories 🥺

[@Rosiecrossley1]

oh wow this really takes me back! i used to love watching this programme!

[@voltron983]

This one's another old favourite of mine. Even though I was 11 and 12 when it was on (I'm 33 now) and had already seen Watership Down and The Plague Dogs the brutal deaths still haunt me to this day, especially the impaled mice.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

I'm 28 and it must have been 20 years since it aired here in Australia. That scene is pretty much all I remember of the show.

[@Nikita1234]

i love this serie! used to watch it everyday when i was younger =) loved the foxes

[@thephantomoftheparadise5666]

Don't get attached to characters kids.

[@henrik971]

We all did 😂

[@rebexxr8761]

How could I have forgotten this little piece of GOLD???

[@FemmeBaer]

Thanks so, so much !!! Brought again the memories from the childhood, me and my mom loved this show, thou in finnish, remembering when the episode ended and I screamed "No!"

[@henrik496]

Love this show. Good memories..❤

[@kbtreturns]

i was crazy about this show! i had the toys, magazines, sticker album and videos of the first series, i used to watch the later series on TV, and i used to borrow the original books from the library (which led me on to other books by the author, colin dann). it's nice to see how many of us remember it! :D

This cartoon made me cry so many times when i was a kid! I guess it is one of the reasons why i care about nature now haha

[@IFocusOnThePain]

I adored this show as a kid. I used to have pretty much all the magazines as well, and there was well over 100 lol. Thanks for posting it

[@Super_Mario128]

a bad dose of Beatrix Potter and Animals of Farthing Wood got me liking the English countryside as a young kid in Australia.

[@r.b.4611]

Too bad the English countryside is gone nowadays.

[@MadCarlie]

OMG. I LOVED THIS SHOW! *faints*

[@emluca123]

This was one of the best children's t.v shows ever. So exciting, left you wanting more. Each week i wanted to know what happened next and i couldn't wait for the next series.

[@jacksmales4973]

This series is being released on DVD next month, can't wait. Been long overdue for a proper release

[@PikaLink91]

Wait you serious??

[@jacksmales4973]

Yes check on Amazon. The official release date is the 3rd of October

[@PikaLink91]

Awesome :D ....I mean I didn't grow up with the show in english, but hey, any support is better than none!

[@MartianManHunter2258]

It would be better if they released this on blu-ray.

[@Instinct245]

Superb

[@AdvertisingDream]

YAY! I used to love this show!!! but couldnt remember the name for youtube so just typed "animals of intro" and it came up so happy :)

[@AosaLetsPlays]

This music is beautiful. But it fucking terrifies me. I'm haunted by all the deaths.

[@Pizza_Rat]

amen thomas

[@billylilly1251]

+Aosa I've felt exactly the same since i first watched it about 21 years ago

[@ulfvonweimuller4433]

death and birth are natural parts of life. more disturbing is that the animals didn't poop, pee or mate

[@LouManon]

hahaha :D

[@goldensparrow7]

"It was a time of innocence, A time of confidences" Brought tears to my eyes when I remember watching this as a child. After almost 20 years I hear this opening soundtrack again and I remember how it influenced my naive heart & mind. Such a sad and beautiful show.

[@mizzbytch0403]

This was another really good show i loved as a kid i miss these shows so much the classics are the best :-)

[@hydrangeadragon]

omg even the intro makes me wanna cry :'(

[@smokeylee1986]

Same.

[@CaesarNeptuneStudios]

Check out The swedish version, man is it sad

[@IvanDal92ry2]

from 1992 , england. i love this song :)

[@Simon_Diamond803]

Happy Tree Friends don't have shit on this.

[@Nostalgiachick1]

I never got over the hedgehogs tragic demise...."Don't panic." Ugh! I was about 12 at the time. I'm 34 now. Scarred for life! I've still got the magazines somwhere where you collected the reusable stickers and put them on the back page wood scene. I didn't tell my friends of course as I was twelve and would have been crucified haha.

[@tomnorton4277]

I remember this show. They had the guts to tackle adult themes and even killed off some of the main characters. The most noteworthy deaths were Bold and Badger, Bold because of his story arc after leaving White Deer Park and his reconciliation with Fox in his last moments, and Badger because he was someone who you just think will always be there, but in the end the "old codger" couldn't evade the Grim Reaper forever. Scarface's death was also pretty effective but since he was one of the villains, it doesn't really hit you as hard.

[@landinglight]

An absolute *classic* of children's tv in the 90s - epic to the last.

[@gracieh69]

I loved the little mole :) I miss this show so much, I watched it every week growing up

[@Bondek1996]

Haven't seen this since the mid 90's. The theme...Fox, Badger...I do remember going to Selfridge's Christmas gotto when I was 8 and it was Farthing Wood themed. Memories, nostaliga...tear

[@geitebukk]

Ahh...lovely! So much love, action and nature at once=) I remember those days Cheers from Norway

[@Pwnorsaur]

I had forgotten all about this one, it's all coming back to me now :)

[@Commander_Shepard.]

Ohhhh childhood! My heart is aching because of nostalgia!

[@MartianManHunter2258]

+Commander Shepard No wonder you're such a hard ass Shepard.

[@GlitchhogAVENIR]

This brings back so many memories. I remember watching this show as a child, but had forgotten the name of it somewhere along the line.

[@Resimaster]

Wow, they dont make TV like this anymore. A true classic of my childhood.

[@AlisonBryen]

Affectionately reffered to in my house as The Animals of FARTing wood...! Classic show! Respect to Weasel!

[@Optronyx]

Christ. Sent shivers up my spine- that's hard core nostalgia for you!

[@xerke]

[@True_Outlaw]

[@footloose20005]

My favourite animated series by a mile

[@01342663563]

I watched a ridiculous amount of cartoons going up, and this one completely left my memory until a while ago. Don't know why, this was great lol :-D

[@mickyblue011]

Wow, 45 seconds was all it took to bring back all then memories i had watching this brilliant show as a little boy, i seemed to be the only one in my circle of friends who knew of this until i met my now ex girlfriend, what an amazing show! I'll be reading the books too my children for sure.

[@kimsterke]

In belgium we used to have a dutch version. It was great! They should broadcast it again.

[@90JCR]

This cartoon was amazing! I loved it when i was younger.

[@MegabyteUnleashed]

@MajorThumper Truer words were never spoken. I found my old videos of this in the back of the cupboard over christmas, and I suddenly find myself grinning like a loon as I watch the journey once more, captivated by the perils and comraderie between all the characters. This show is as great as I remember it.

[@PikaLink91]

I remember very little about this show, but got damn it was great!

[@zimmer86]

[@teamepicmeow8853]

AAAAAHHHH!!!!!! I got all the videos!!! I loved this show T_T bring it back in HD!!!

[@laurenf11]

i loved how every episode of this had a cliffhanger at the end! it was so dramatic, but quite dark for a kids tv show, still loved it tho!

[@Rachael8989]

oh my god Bondek 1996- Selfridges christmas grotto! I thought i was the only one that remembered it!! i love this programme so much!

[@misselena007]

This music is so beautiful. I've always liked it

[@snowglobe82]

Classic - loved it - takes me back to 1991/92 - can't believe it was aired so long ago - Collected all the magazines "farthing wood friends" lol and used to play it in my school yard, - the Hedgehog Scene was probably the most Tragic moment in my life - the lady hedgehog refused to leave her mate who froze - and they both get squashed - the whole show was emotional i fact - theres been nothing quite like it since

[@McLeanAmy]

Such a poignant message, but so emotional! I couldn't watch this now!

[@AquilaTempestas]

Amazing intro :) Brings back lovely memories when I was younger

I loved this cartoon. And it has a stupidly catchy intro. If these kinds of cartoons were still on TV I'd gladly get up early on a Saturday to watch them. I'm 22 years old...

[@tobiaskiba]

OMG!! I used to watch this at my grandmothers house when I was a kid :O

[@Appleseedlol]

The feeling I get watching this video I can't describe there's just so much nostalgia. It makes me feel kind of sad as well remembering better times =(
