Help me find these cartoons
There are two old cartoons I remember watching on KTV2 which I can’t seem to find anymore. They weren’t a series, just a single story cartoon.
The first was kinda like a documentary about cavemen, and what I remember from the cartoon was how the cavemen dragged their wives from their hair and they carried big sticks. They also lived in like in apartment buildings that were built out of one big rock and each floor had a ladder that takes you from the ground to the flat.
The second cartoon was about this bug (I think it was a bee but not too sure). The bug wears thick glasses and they somehow break and he ends up getting lost.
Does anyone remember these two?
Update: I can’t believe this but a reader called Fahad found the caveman one!! Here it is…

Update2: It’s moments like this that makes me love this blog so much. Another reader by the name of Bo Jaij found the second cartoon I was looking for. Turns out it wasn’t a bee it was a mole!

Here are some other old cartoons I found that were also great:
TV of Tomorrow
The House of Tomorrow
Car of Tomorrow
The Homeless Flea
The Counterfeit Cat
Big Heel-Watha
Happy Go Nutty
What’s Buzzin Buzzard
Field and Scream
Not sure about the caveman one but I think the bee cartoon might be Na7ool ?
Na7ool was a series that was in Arabic. This was a single episode, just about the adventures of this bug after breaking his glasses. Kinda trippy.
mark i remeber the second cartoon very well but not the name ,, it was one of my favorite ones and kinda sad too,,
I rem both Mark.
The bee (yes it was a little nerdy looking bee, with huge glasses) and it opened with how bees go about collecting pollen from flowers and i rem they were singing a song as they buzzed around( bees, bees, busy, busy bees, making honey all day long). The lil guy gets lost and lands up breaking his glasses. He can’t see zip without it and he sets off trying to find his clan in the dark and murky underbelly of the garden. It starts raining heavily and he meets a nasty badass spider who wants to eat him. The bees finally find him and then starts Operation Desert Storm and the bees’ sting him him till he’s full of holes. Bees 1- Spider 0…The lil guy is rescued and all’s well.
The caveman one is as you said, is a hilarious look at cavemen (the voice over explains the situation as it unfolds) as the varied life of the cave guys are illustrated , including dinosaur hunt, mating habits, life inside the cave etc. It’s a really funny one.
I don’t know where you can find ‘em , but i hope this helped.

geo4u: i think when the bees were attacking the music playing was “flight of the bumblees”
I think I know the cartoon you’re talking about. It was a series called Happy Harmonies. The name of this particular one is “Honeyland”

“The Little Mole,” an MGM theatrical cartoon directed by Hugh Harmon in 1941.
The little short-sighted mole goes out every day to look at his “fairy castle,” unaware that he’s really looking at a large pile of junk in the city dump. One day a shifty skunk comes by and sells the little mole a pair of glasses (made from the ends of soda bottles). The mole puts them on and wonders where his “fairy palace” has gone, and wanders off looking for it.
You gotta watch “Uncle Tom’s Cabana”…hilarious thou racist.

Does any one remember the Arabic series that had a kid and a dog? They hit a crystal ball with a piece of bone and they would go up in smoke and end up at some imaginary place with a story. I think the series was about eating healthy. It had a really cool end theme. I remember the phrase al 3ql al-saleem fi jism al-saleem. They would say that every time they used the crystal ball. That’s all I can remember. Someone please help. I desperately need to know.
OMG mark I love you.
cooldude
i want that too..
