“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”

Ontem estive a ver por umas horitas o canal da disney com os meus sobrinhos, e lembrei-me dos meus tempos dos desenhos animados… Eu adorava os desenhos animados, adorava os que na altura passavam na nossa televisão, antes das parabólicas e muito antes das disneys e cartoons.. Nós só tínhamos, aquilo e era aquilo que gostávamos… Se não era o homem pássaro, era a pantera cor de rosa, ou bumbo, ou homem pássaro ou outro qualquer, mas não passava disso e o nosso horário era fixo… As 18 começava o homem pássaro e aquela hora não podíamos perder… ehhehhe tempos lixados… Eu gostava particularmente da série de desenhos animados huckleberry finn e dos seus amigos que brincavam aos piratas no Mississipi! Lembram-se?Personagens como o Indio Joe, Cid, Becky, entre outras, faziam parte do nosso imaginário infantil/juvenil, baseado no romance de Mark Twain, as Aventuras de Tom Sawyer estavam cheias de emoção, amizade e diversão, que cativavam toda a gente!
