History WesternAnimation / Kissyfur

* ArtEvolution: More like an Art Devolution, as the scenery looks less realistic, and the characters’ designs have changed.

* ShipTease: In addition to Kissyfur and Beehonie in the aforementioned example, there is also one between Gus and Miss Emmy Lou

* OffModel: The animation went downhill after the ownership shifted from [=DiC=] to Saban.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Jolene.

''Kissyfur'' is a SaturdayMorningCartoon from TheEighties on Creator/{{NBC}}. It focused on a father and son pair of bears named Gus and Kissyfur. En route to join the circus, the bears end up in a swamp town called Paddlecab after the train derails. There, they meet a GangOfCritters and create a boat tour business. Really, it's not as sappy as the name would have you believe.

* GangOfCritters: Like so many other eighties cartoons.

* SapientCetaceans: One episode features Kissyfur and the gang helping a beached whale, who speaks a bit like a surfer (as he apparently got caught off-guard while surfing "gnarly waves")

* OneShotCharacter: Donna was never seen in the show again after her debut in "the Birds and the Bears", despite implications that she's become a part of the cast.

* DisguisedInDrag: In "The Lady is a Chump," Jolene finds a trunk with women's clothing, a blonde wig and [[LatexPerfection a full-head bear mask, and forces Floyd to dress up in them as a female bear acting as Gus and Kissyfur's new nanny "Mimi" (named from when Floyd stammers "M-m-me?!" when Kissyfur asks "her" name) as ploy to capture Kissyfur and his friends and eat them up. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when Floyd notices a few flaws in the disguise initially, such as his green scaly legs being visible.

* SheIsAManInJapan: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Jolene's gender is switched to male, likely because [[TheLadette she doesn't look and act like a female at all]], and that without going into the point she wears a wig, something that was very unusual, in that time, for a woman, espcially in Latin America.

* OurNudityIsDifferent: None of the characters besides Kissyfur and his dad Gus, wear any clothes and all and it's accepted by everyone. Despite this, Kissyfur and his dad are almost always seen wearing a shirt and it's treated normally.

* CastingGag[=/=]RelationshipVoiceActor: Gus and Kissyfur's [=VAs=] (Ed Gilbert and R.J. Williams) later voiced Baloo and Kit, respectively, on ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin''.

* LyingFingerCross: In one episode, Lenny constantly bullied other kids for their lunches. Near the end, he saw himself in a pinch where he needed their help and they only agreed when he promised he'd no longer bully them. The next day, he broke his promised and, when called out on it, he claimed he had his fingers crossed when he made it. [[spoiler:Fortunately, they'd learned how to use the strength of numbers against him]].
* MessyPig: Averted with Duane who hates being messy

* WeirdMoon: In the opening sequence it is bigger than it should be.
