THIS is my childhood!!!!!!!! For the longest time I couldn;t remember if this show was even real or some weird dream I had. But I somehow stumbled across it on youtube and wow, the memories. I actually still love everything about it. I always felt something off, or even sinister about this show, and I was sorta scared of it when i was small. I still somehow get the weird feeling of unease when i watch it now. But i mean, its enjoyable, the art and animation is great, and ofcourse that weird feeling just adds to the experience. :) I still remember there wasone episode where one of the snails finds a giant Dinosoar skeleton and i was so scared but i also loved it. I haven't been able to find this one anywhere. Maybe it was some kind of dream i had?????
