In this surreal animated saga, we get to know the tale of Princess Dawn, who must find the Whispering Orchid's cove (and the glass key therein hidden) in order to save her kingdom from the spell of melancholy, which has been placed by the evil Grump. To aid her, Princess Dawn summons young Terry Dexter, a boy from earth, and in their flying machine, accompanied by their bizarre pet Blip, they go through a myriad series of strange countries in a fantasy world in their quest for the key. But the Grump (a mix between a demon and a dwarf) is set to spoil their mission, following them close on their trail, atop a bumbling, allergic and stupid Dragon with which he has funny quarrels. Along the way, the Princess is Kidnapped, they meet Mother Goose, Blip finds true love, and Terry is corrupted (only to be turned back to normal later)... in a fantastic, kaleidoscopic series of adventures.

Episode 1

The Bloonywoonie Battle

Sat, Sep 6, 19699 mins

The bumbling, goofy Grump (Rip Taylor) has placed a curse of gloom all over the land; now it's up to Princess Dawn, her dog-like companion Bip (Mel Blanc, voice of Bugs Bunny) and young Terry (Dennis the Menace's Jay North) to save the kingdom - and only the Crystal Key can break the curse. Each episode they take off in their balloon-car on a series of incredible adventures as they search for the Key, hidden in the Cave of the Whispering Orchids in the Land of 1000 Caves. Along the way they meet strange, surprising and wonderful characters such as the Eenie Meenie Miners, the Toilin' Toolie Birds and the Wily Wheelies. Of course, the Grump, traveling on his Jolly Green Dragon, is never far behind.

SpongeBob SquarePants

16 Seasons
The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and often nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his underwater friends. Dwelling a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob lives in a two-story pineapple. Instead of taking the logical approach to everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way. Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick (an amiable starfish), SpongeBob's good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.
