In the midst of the toy-centric syndication market of the mid-80's, DIC acquired a license to adapt Sylvanian Families, a Japanese toy line, in North America. Unfortunately, the series lasted one season of 13 episodes, each with 2 short features. In other words, 26 cartoons total.
The Sylvanian Forest is in another dimension, accessible only by children, and guarded by one human adult, the Woodkeeper.
Just as unfortunate is the fact that the toys didn't catch on here in the US, and Tomy lost the license in North America in the 90's.
Edit, 12/12/23: Had to change the video. Here's "Outfoxing The Foxes":
I remember seeing commercials for the toys, but never saw the show. From what I've seen above, I'm not impressed.
Rating: B--.
