Soggy reminds me a lot of Dopey. In fact, after looking at some of the images from Disney's line-up, the other two look like some of the same gang after a long night out.

I often have Soggy and Mushy for breakfast, It's called porridge. 😊

Back when kids commercials were full blown cartoons.

Kids commercials still exist, patty. Take a look at any Saturday morning line up of Yu-Gi-Oh, or Beyblade, or Pokemon or My Little Pony.

KDP, what's being foisted off on the kids today doesn't hold a candle to the artistic quality of 'the good old days'. What's coming out of Japan is more just still photography with some moving bits. It's more apt to have 24 frames per minute instead of the 24fps of the real stuff.

Agreed, expat. I just love a parody of that type of animation.
