I saw a movie length mole thing where all the animals flee the forest that is bulldozered and go to the big city where they fall for a TV set inflatable wood and think it is real until they break it. Sounds weird, but that´s only because it was.

I only saw those later, but I think those were feature lenght movies.

I´m 99% sure you are thinking of “The Animals of Farthing Wood”, which was called “Als die Tiere den Wald verließen” in germany

Mentioned it above. Used to see it a lot. Loved the fact that the villain is seen playing a computer game in that intro, which was rare at the time.

These episodes were only shown on Kika or in the regular program and not within “Die Sendung mit der Maus”.

Yes, there was Käptn Blaubär Club in the 90s that featured a Lindenstrassen actress among the cast.

The special thing is that they showed all episodes of Ernest The Vampire on there, which seems to be a thing so obscure that only I know that.

I must have seen that on ZDF in the early 90s as there was no KiKA back then.

Correct! 🙂

The most sad cartoon I remember, was this one:  
Do you recognize it?

**trivia time:** listen to the music: it’s taken from a popular song of the 70s… which one?
