There's a cartoon that I remember from the mid 80s that was about a little girl and her dog who strayed into a rocket and they were blasted away to another planet. They made friends with some of the inhabinets of the planet, but the girl badly wanted to return home to Earth and I can remember the episode when she finally got that chance, but it all went wrong when she was attacked by these strange insect creatures and they killed her. The cartoon ended with her funeral and her friends sent her body into space with a final farewell. Does anyone remember that cartoon and it's name because it's been bugging me for almost 20 years to try and remember it. Tony. |

Was this a film or a series? I think this could have been a French cartoon film with some sort of time travel element but I may be confusing two films... |

No, it was an English cartoon that used to show on ITV on Sunday's at about 11 in the morning, sometimes 10. It was a very short cartoon series, about 4 episodes or so and each episode lasted about an hour. I remember the opening scenes in part, where the girl is chasing after her dog through a forest and they go into the rocket by accident, before they can get out, the rocket blasts off and lands on another planet a fair distance from the Earth. I mostly remember the final episode because of what happened. Searching online for it's name and not having any luck at all. Tony. |

That's a horrible way to end a cartoon. Cartoons should have happy endings. |

this sounds like a dubbed french cartoon I used to watch on a Saturday morning - Robostory. (but the sad ending doesn't ring any bells......) |

I remember that cartoon a little, the one I mentioned had the almost same start, but it was a lot darker in tone and story. But very close indeed. That ending is always in my memories, I know I would recognise it if it was shown again. Tony. |
