Old Cartoon ID

Ok, so I’ve been trying to remember a particular old(ish) children’s cartoon segment/short. I remember it being part of a larger children’s show such as Sesame Street, or Pinwheel etc.

As for what I recall the characters were two different colors (I want to say red and blue). At least one of the characters had a “beret” or at least the top of the head bore the “shape” of a beret. I say “shape” because both were “shmoo-like” in that they were either blobs, or something similar. I seem to remember them playing a horn-type instrument or maybe a flute-type, but not 100% certain. The mouth section of these characters would “morph” or shape-change into the instrument, and they would start dueling/playing music, and maybe snapping their fingers while playing. What I can say with certainty is that it’s definitely not Red vs. Blue (cartoon), nor is it Chapi Chapo. Any chance someone else knows, or at least remembers?

Is it maybe Barbapapa?

Cartoons? Cafe Society. Moved from GQ.

No,that isn’t it, but you definitely got the idea. I should have mentioned that these characters were rendered in a completely black background. Nothing else.

Anyone come up with anything yet? I’m all out of ideas. :frowning:

How old?

Is it possible it was a Mister Men cartoon?

Are you as old as me, and remember Jot the Dot cartoons from Captain Kangaroo?

If, as you say, you’re not thinking of The Red and The Blue then all I can think of is La Linea.

Or perhaps it was the Glumps.

I used to LOVE La Linea on Great Space Coaster. You just knew that little guy had a potty-mouth from hell even if you couldn’t actually understand a word he said!

The little guy was speaking in very strongly accented Milanese dialect. No actual swearwords, or at least not a lot that I remember, but there were lots of euphemisms - Milanese equivalents of “What the dickens” and the like.

One of the IMDB experts posited that your cartoon might be Stoppit and Tidyup, but it’s not on an entirely black background.

Shot in the dark here…Tales of the Wizard of Oz (the munchkins are kind of blobby)

Or perhaps The Barbapapa Family.

Pssst…post #2. :smiley:

If this thread were a cartoon, I’d now be morphing into one of these :smack:
