I'm surprised that there has never been a Foo-Foo compilation, I used to like these cartoon's as a child, Foo-Foo and Go-Go they were in TV comic. Looking at the others I could not stand 'Do-Do The Kid from Outer Space', 'Butterfly Ball' is a classic and was shown as a filler on our local ITV...Talking of fillers 'Chuckle Heads' also ran on our local station, loved 'em all...

I was greatly saddened that the one cartoon that I would have bought this collection for, wasn't included! "The Christmas Visitor", which is just a delight! Here's a link to a decent color print of this title on Youtube ...

Sad to say, a little dark, but very good color.

I used to like Foo Foo and Go Go. There were a few of those cartoons put out by Mountain Films, I only managed to get one of them.

My favourite has always been 'The Candlemaker' made as a stewardship film for the Lutheran Church. Shown it so many times and now, sadly, it's gone pink. Wish I could replace it.

Osi it is most certainly a wonderful cartoon and practically always included at our roving Christmas film presentations. I expect I am like many who are always on the lookout for new Christmas themed 8mm films to bolster our seasonal shows. The inclusion of 'History of the Cinema' was the prize for me and a wonderful piece of British animation covering 100 years of cinema Yay!

By the way all you can find Network here

The Blu-Ray is priced at £9.18 from them and free UK delivery

Other good offers from them on Blu-ray at the moment are
