Won these production cels from Nelvana's Get Along Gang pilot episode on eBay the other week. It's fair to say I'm still in "acetate" of excitement about it .*




Portia Porcupine, from somewhere near the beginning, where the Gang are talking about entering a scavenger hunt in their hometown of "Green Meadow". (For the curious, this character does actually have legs, it's just that they would have been off camera in this particular shot.)

Montgomery Moose, near the episode's end. Don't think it's giving too much away to say that things turn out well...
Many thanks to fellow G.A.G junkie Erin for helping to place these pics into some sort of context.

*The voices told me to do it....sorry.

Got Gang?

Yes, I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Get Along Gang, as it happens. :)

(See more pics at 80's Toyland.)

See That Glow!

Take one solid plum coloured crew neck tee-shirt, a tube of plain white fabric paint, and a tube of luminous fabric paint.

Apply white base coat, in design of choice, and allow to dry.

Apply 2 coats of glow paint, allowing the first one to become at least "touch" dry before applying the second.

Expose to bright light for a couple of minutes.

Turn off light...(:-0

UV light generally gives the best results, as shown above.





Here it is during the day.

Second Coming

Haven't seen "The Omen" remake - yet.

Here's a review of the 1976 version .

Hatch and company

Here's a little tribute to American Greeting's planned relaunch of "The Get Along Gang" I cooked up a while back.
