Great cartoon show with no spoken words and an old-fashioned feel. Very funny and entertaining. It is free to watch on netflix but I just bought it so I can download it and watch it offline as well. A must see worth every penny! I have watched it religiously after work every day, seen it hundreds of times and I still love it! :-)
