List of Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids is a British animated series based on the generic trademarked book series of the same name by Jamie Rix. After the first four books were published from 1990 to 2001, Carlton Television adapted the short stories into ten-minute cartoons for ITV, produced by themselves, Honeycomb Productions, and Rix's production company, Elephant Productions, as well as Grizzly TV. It aired on CITV between January 2000 and October 2007 with six series and 78 episodes, as well as a New Year's Eve special that was over 20 minutes longer than other episodes. The series returned in a new format for NickToons UK with 26 episodes split into two series under the name Grizzly Tales (also known as Grizzly Tales: Cautionary Tales for Lovers of Squeam!), which aired between May 2011 and November 2012.

Both versions of the series have been nominated for BAFTAs and the CITV series has received numerous international awards from animated film festivals. Both have been popular on their respective channels; the CITV series has often been re-aired on Nickelodeon with the Nicktoons series. The CITV cartoon was available for purchase on DVD in the UK and Northern Ireland, as well as Porchlight Entertainment in North America[1] and Time Life's Shock Records in Australia and New Zealand.[2] The Nickelodeon cartoon was later released on DVD through the same respective companies, however, it was released in the UK and Northern Ireland with Abbey Home Media.[3]

A boy abuses the power of a magic hat after losing his previous hat but is taught a lesson when the object's gloved hand grabs him and refuses to let him go. In the hat, he tried to apologize for his behavior but the damage was already done when the magician tried to bring him back from it.
5214"The Decomposition of Delia Dethabridge"The Decomposition of Delia DethabridgeMore Grizzly Tales For Gruesome KidsBeetles2004 (2004)In the book, Gormless is a troll. In the cartoon, he's a gremlin. He later leaves to write a book that's based on the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In the animated episode, Delia works at a cheesecake factory.

A careless and narcissistic girl, who refuses to do schoolwork by the thought that she's a genius, regrets leaving a story-book unread and unfinished when the character comes to life. With a lack of knowledge, she's sent to a cheesecake factory where she smells the meals to see if they're not cooked properly.

NOTES: This is the last episode in the series to focus on traditional animation.

This is the last episode to have Uncle Grizzly and Spindleshanks play around at the start and end of each episode.
5315"A Grizzly New Year's Tale: The Crystal Eye"The Crystal EyeBlubbers and SickstersSlugs31 December 2004 (2004-12-31)TBA

A spoiled brat is given a chance to redeem himself and be good like his twin brother by his altruistic reflection in a magic mirror, which was given to him by a Romani gypsy but is ultimately unable to control his selfishness and narcissism to the point it becomes his downfall.

NOTES: This is the first episode to rely on Flash Animation, which the series started to do from this point on and onwards.

Also from this point, Uncle Grizzly and Spindleshanks (in which he also became absent from this point) no longer goof around. Grizzly just starts the film straight after the kid eats whatever is in the popcorn box and a story will often jump straight to the credits after it ends. However, some episodes after that will occasionally show clips of Grizzly laughing during or at the end of an episode.

This is the last episode to use the original theme song and the first episode to use the new one (which plays at the part where Grizzly takes out a film reel and at the end credits).
