"The Magic Adventures of Mumfie" is an animated children's
television series created by Britt Allcroft in 1994.
Based on the books by Katherine Tozer, Mumfie is a special little
elephant who had no one to play with. Every morning he would run to his letter
box hoping for an adventure - all tied up in a parcel.
One
day, Mumfie realises that adventures do not come in parcels and sets off to the woods to find them. Mumfie meets his first friend, Scarecrow, ungainly and stuck in a field, and then his second friend, Pinkey, a flying pig. The trio then has all sorts of adventures.
Alas, it seems Mumfie's brilliance has been forgotten over the last 15 years.
There are few
people who recall this lovable pachyderm. As I recall, there are five beings who believe Mumfie ever existed. I personally blame Dawn French. Then again I blame this women for most things e.g. The great famine, certain cancers, the common
cold and global warming.
