Chigadaging

WARNING:
This song from Rough Guide To World Playtime is really addictive - it's like a playful romp through a Hawaiian village, or going out to play with Lilo & Stitch, or even better...travelling the world.

Remember that Incredible India advert where a man writes about his adventures and scenes are shown of his Indian romp around the country? Well, what I see in my head is just like that, but instead of live action, it's live action AND animation mixed together.

Remember Roger Rabbit and Chip N Dale? It's just like that.

Picture this: Furaha and Orko. Two little globetrotters who travel around the world riding on rickshaws, walking across the villages and streets, trying new foods and engaging in new and exciting activities. If you don't think about The Story Makers long enough to see these images of these little globetrotters enter your head, then consider yourself lucky. Mind you, I really think those Tales From Far Away in The Story Makers are adapted from ancient folk tales, myths, parables and fables that'd make children who were watching in 2002 understand the concept of world culture and moral values - I mean, the Tales From Far Away story featured in the VHS 'Park' was a shadow puppet story of a donkey, narrated by Milton himself....
