Popples is an animated series, based on the Popples toy line, created by Marie Cisterino, Janet Jones, Fran Kariotakis, Janet Redding, and Susan Trentel that aired in syndication in the United States from 1986 to 1987 and Sky Channel in the United Kingdom from 1987 to 1988.[3] The cartoon was produced by DIC Enterprises and LBS Communications in association with The Maltese Companies.
Like the toys which they are based on, the Popples resemble colorful marsupial teddy bears with long tails ending in a pom-pom and pouches on their backs that allow them to curl into a fuzzy ball. All the Popples stutter when they say words with the letter "P" in them. The name "Popple" is a reference to the popping sound they make when unfolding themselves from such a ball, or pulling objects from their pouches.[4] In the cartoon, Popples commonly pull large items from their pouches that could not possibly fit inside, such as elephants and pianos, which come from hammerspace; in the episode "Popples Alley", one of the Popples' human friends looks inside one of their pouches and sees numerous objects floating in a void.
