I've included this one because it's locally produced here in the maritimes but also because it's a fantastic representation of the final gasps of an era in wholesome animated storytelling, something Canadian animation was brilliant at. It started decades earlier with shows like The Raccoons and Care Bears. Eckhart rode on the heels of Redwall, Nelvana's adaptation of Brian Jacques' epic youth novels and essentially rounded out the end of this era. What are some examples of wholesome animation you can think of? Add them here in the comments.

This is very cute! The "kitchen party" theme song is definitely unique! And great picture quality! Nice one!

[@BetamaxKing]

@@VintageTVMemories definitely a maritimey vibe from many directions here. I think it's actually set to take place on PEI.

These old canadian 🇨🇦 animations are so brilliant, they even inspired me to watch them from the finnish 🇫🇮 TV channels as a teenager back in the 1990's and 2000's. Also, that main character reminds me of Fievel, created by Don Bluth 😺👍. Thank you, my fellow canadian 🇨🇦 retro furriend, for sharing this pawsome 🐾 video 😺👍. A big retrospective like 👍 from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.
