History Anime / AdventuresOfTheLittleKoala

Like ''Anime/TheNoozles'', it was made as the result of a koala craze. In 1984, the Tama Zoo in western Tokyo welcomed its first koala, and the government of Australia sent six koalas to Japan as a token of goodwill. These koalas induced a huge craze among the Japanese for anything koala-related (such as merchandise). Also like ''Anime/TheNoozles'', ''Adventures of the Little Koala'' ran on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} from 1987 to 1993. In Canada, the English version aired in a Saturday morning timeslot on [[Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork Global]] circa 1990. The English and French dubs were produced in Montreal by [[Creator/CookieJarEntertainment Cinar Films]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The ''katakana'' spelling out Pamie's name in Japanese - パニー - could alternately be read as "Honey." (See also ''Manga/CutieHoney'' or ''Manga/HoneyHoney''.)

* PowderGag: Mommy is the victim of this in "The Mysterious Moa Bird," when a bee flies into the kitchen while she and Laura are making eucalyptus cakes. While crouching to avoid the bee, Mommy blindly tries to swat it away from the cakes and ends up knocking a bowl of flour off the counter, covering her in flour.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The children in the primary cast include three koalas, three kangaroos, two rabbits - all animals that spring immediately to mind when thinking of Australia - and... two penguins. Though there are penguins in Australia (see MisplacedWildlife for details), even many Australians probably wouldn't name them as obvious examples of Australian wildlife, and their inclusion in ''Adventures of the Little Koala'' is likely a deliberate use of this trope.

* PantyShot: Laura, from time to time during the series and especially noticeable during the Japanese OP sequence. However, this being a show for very young kids, there's no intent to titillate.
