I remember having quite a few VHS tapes from a company called "Just For Kids", that had some of the neatest shows.
"Sherlock Hound", "Kissyfur", "Foofur", "Seabert", and quite a bit more. My siblings and I loved animals, so this got us interested right away!
I also grew up in a religious household, so Christian videos were standard for us.
Did you know that there was a bible-story-centric anime called "Superbook"? Used to watch it all the time! There was also "McGee and Me", "Secret Adventure", and "Adventures in Odyssey". Used to listen to the "Adventures in Odyssey" radio show all the time!
"The Donut Man" was a Barney-esque Christian show for kids, too.
What obscure things did you watch growing up?
Ah, nice, I'll definitely check it out. I really enjoyed Hedgehog in the Fog too. The layered animation was amazing, but also the translation into english was really funny sometimes
"A fox has ensconced himself in my house!" Lol
Also, if you're looking for beautiful old animation, there's stuff by Lotte Reiniger that's amazing. She would do these elaborate stop-motion paper cutout animations that were brilliant. My favorite was the Adventures of Prince Achmed. It's all public domain now too, so you can find it on youtube:
