Black and white cartoon with an egg

[cooleddy4]

Hi people! I am trying to remember a kids cartoon which I watched in the 80's as a young child. I am 19 now. It was black and white and all I can remember from it is an egg which fell from somewhere and possibly cracked. Ah, now I also think he fell in boiling water or something and was trying to get out. I also just about remember a train of some sort. Sorry I haven't got much information for you but if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I think it might have been called Ludwig? Or Ludwig something anyway. Was it on a Saturday morning show? My memory of it is very vague as well!

hmm...when you said Ludwig I thought it could be it. But after looking at those pictures I dont think it is. Im not sure if it was on regularly. Might have been just the one time. And now im even thinking that it might have just been on a video. Oh its really bugging me now. Someone out there must know. The big egg defintely fell into a bowl of boiling water. And I remember him falling and getting dizzy. Oh and I remember him sneezing with pepper!!! And there was a spoon and he got caterpaulted in the air by something jumping on the other end of it.

Is it Ovid Video ? used to be on in the mornings.

it could be, but I cant find anything on the internet about it. If you can find information or pictures then that would really help. Thanks Eastender, I'll keep looking.

ovid video - I remember the theme tune really clearly but not the cartoon so well. Was it a worm or caterpillar or something? I don't remember an egg in it.

..was it this little chap..? http://dept-info.labri.fr/~gavoille/img/calimero.gif ..then if it was , it's Calimero ,I think it was French and was dubbed into several languages including Welsh...(i remember it from welsh tv in the 70s)...

[cooleddy4]

nope, definitely not that. I dont think its anything that has been said yet.I remember that the egg had a mistache and possibly a couple strands of hair. I think it was only one programme/cartoon and not a series. And was probably only available on video although it could have been on tv.

Ludwig


Late 70s

This was a world-beating five minute cartoon about an ovoid eggy jewel that lived in a forest. Surreal eh? In every episode - there were 65 of them - something would happen to the animals of the forest and Ludwig would come to the rescue. His 'body' facets would open up and out would pop arms, legs, gadgets or a helicopter rotor blade. He was constantly watched by a bird watcher in a deerstalker with huge binoculars. At the end of every episode Ludwig played a Mozart horn concerto through the credits. It was the strangest cartoon ever, but we all loved it.
