Remember the Smurfs?

Smurfs were pretty good. They always had a good underlying moral lesson.

How can you forget the smurfs. I watched em the other day ONDEMAND...

 

my life revolved around the smurfs..and the snorkels..and pretty much any cartoon that would catch my attention. wuzzles, carebears..etc, etc. And yes I have to agree that they do have a psychadelic undertone and I swear that I would just daze and go into my own little world where I was a smurf when I was younger..

 

Back in the 80s, some religious group in the south had all the kids bring their care bears to a location where they were burned. Their rationale was never clear, although it appeared that they felt some jealously at something that was non-religious having virtue and that they saw as competing with their religious faith.

Reminds me of the sketch Dana Carvey did as the Church Lady where he accused Santa of undermining religion. He rearranged the letters in Santa to spell 'Satan'. Then he yelled out Satan! with that reverberating echo added in.
