garetheves Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Just got back from holiday and something has been bugging me since the second day into it. Basically we saw a ship/boat that reminded us of a cartoon we used to watch as kids but cannot for life of us remember the name. Details i can remember are sketchy but are as follows: 1. It involved a trawler style ship ancored just offshore, 2. There was an oil slick around the ship and black smoke always pouring out of it. 3. The ship was deemed the "baddy" so to speak and the inhabitants of the island were the "goodies". 4. Cant remember if the characters were humans or animals. Anyone remember it and more importantly what it was called. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I don't remember a cartoon like this (must be the age ) but then I don't remember Captain Planet either - so was it that ? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 No its not captain planet. The missus is downstairs watching Chan 4 at the mo to see if it comes on but i doubt it will. Really starting to bug me as well. Tried googling it but dont have much to go on really "Ship + Oil + Cartoon" etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyW Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 AHHAAA I know this but can't remember the name. Isn't an old cartoon, quite modern afaik. I reckon it's fairly old, im 24 and i think this would have been on when i was at primary school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
