Hey all, there are these two shows that I have been trying to remember for years now. They both played at around the same time during the 90s in Australia, but I don't doubt they played in other countries.
The first one I'm pretty sure was about this white anthropomorphic dog, I dunno, I think he went for a walk (for some reason) and went to a hay-stack and ran into a flying pig (I think) and it turned out some bad guys kidnapped his mother... so they go off to find her... they run into other people to help... There was one episode that was quite creepy when they got to some forest with signs that read "No singing, No dancing, No whistling" Of course the dog-thing rebels and does exactly that and gets captured... Don't remember much after that. I think, maybe, this series was the kind that were 5 mins in length and played before a full-length show.
The second show I remember even less. I think the protagonist was a talking blue dog (or something) and he was a pirate. He has a love interest (I think she was a cat) that was originally part of the bad pirate dudes but then converts to the good guys. He had a friend that was large and tanky.
Any ideas?
