Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids © Honeycomb Animation / Elephant Productions

In each episode of 'Grizzly Tales' we settle into (the stop-animated) Uncle Grizzly's theatre, where he shows us a 'tale of terror', which is basically a 2D animated morality tale. This series has an edge which is seldom found in series aimed at a younger audience. ABC, it's Australian distributor, calls it 'horror for kids' - 'Humorous, modern-day tales in which naughty children get what they deserve. Rude tongues are trimmed, couch potatoes are baked into cheese and onion crisps, precious fashion victims are sent to school with no clothes on, and moaning minnies are minced into spaghetti when they don’t eat their food!'

Narrated, with all voices by Nigel Planer.
