Ludwig

Ludwig was a 70's cult kids classic, it's rare and hard to find but very entertaining!!! It's about this strange alien that is shaped like an egg!!! He lands one day in the woods and becomes friends with all the animals, and helps them out every time they get into trouble!!!

13 episodes were made back in the 70's, they are 1. The Arrival, 2. Hiccups, 3. The Hooter, 4. Glue, 5. Kites, 6. Tennis, 7. The Swing, 8. Skating, 9. Sculptor, 10. Umbrellas, 11. The Ball, 12. The Coin and 13. Bubbles!!!

I give Ludwig 8/10 because it was bizarre and entertaining and i like the old style animation and sound, really good stuff.

I recalled seeing this on tv when I was in hospital (on permanent bed rest!!) before my Son was born. It somehow made tv more interesting and definitely more musical. I've often wondered if a dvd of Ludwig is out there, because it would be just as entertaining for today's kids as it was with kids (and adults) of the 1970's. Who'd have thought a musicality inclined egg-shaped crystal existing among woodland wildlife could have hit the classical music spot with so many of all ages, cultures and tastes? By arranging Beethoven's music in a manner, making it a very enjoyable accompaniment to the cartoon and the characters, these arrangements open the classical music door to young children beautifully. The BBC hasn't shown anything as good since, which is a shame! Time for a CBBC repeat? PS: It also complies with all BBC politically correct rules and standards. Just saying.
