That's where the reboot series comes into play, after the demolition.

Fun fact: the original ‘tellietubby land’ was on a woman’s farmland. She kept on having people trespassing to see the location. So, to avoid property damage and all that she turned it into a pond. But climate change still sucks.

Oh god I have horrible memories of this episode! I thought it was so embarrassing that this used to scare me to death, but after watching this I'm glad I'm not the only one! I think the majority of it came down to the music and the sound in general. It was just such a horrifying buildup to the reveal of the Bear and the Lion which I remember running out of the living room and I ran straight upstairs to my bedroom. The entire thing just felt so Erie as you described. Funnily enough though, at the time my parents used to actually make fun of me for being scared of it and they used to tease me which looking back it was pretty messed up of them (it was mainly my mother if I remember correctly). But I just remember trying to explain to them that I never wanted to watch the show ever again, and when the episode aired again I remember crying my eyes out because I once again heard that Horror sounding soundtrack haha.

I actually thought that I'm the only person who got scared of this episode but I'm happy I'm not alone 😂. In fact, i didn't knew it got banned but after the traumatic Nightmares i got from this episode it's better for everyone. I even remember when i watched the episode in my grandmas House, that from the moment when this Part started, i jumped of the couch into the basements stairs until the episode was over.

''I am the scary lion'' Damn right you are

[@bensijmons8331]

Yeah, I distinctly remember that episode from Teletubies. Mostly because that night I randomly woke up and when I looked down the hall, the lion had its head around the corner. I was 5 or so at the time, scared the crap out of me, never seen it since but it is in my memory forever.

Making the lion even worse is the color of his irises. They're bright and shiny enough that when he sits in the sun correctly, it looks like they're *glowing* like an actual demon. And I'm 90% sure those pupils were somehow capable of shrinking and growing.

Plot Twist (I guess...) The Teletubbies are a part of some cult and the bear is their god, the Teletubbies being excited about the lion and the bear fighting due to the fact it's some sort of ancient ritual that the Teletubbies seem to like for some reason because it's a battle between a god (the bear) and a mortal, (the lion.)
