I can remember this lovely show that I watched as a kid. BUT! I can't remember what it was called. It featured puppet characters in a sort of quilted blanket world. I think even a grandma on a rocking chair may have started reading before you got to this place.

The characters were animals and one episode I remember featured the theme 'too many cooks spoil the broth' and they were literally making a broth and it tasted yucky at the end because everyone added their favourite food.

Please help! It is really bugging me and I'd love to show it to my kids.

Heritage kids

I remember a story about a princess that got her little dress dirty, and another in which a boy couldn't carry all of these feathers because he ran too fast. I swear it had something to do with ' the land of nod', because all the kids fell asleep and then their respective adventures occurred. Other than that I can't answer for certain, because I am looking for the answer myself. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think you are on to something, because as I was thinking over what this grandma might have said the saying... winkin blinkin and nod came to mind. Does this ring any bells?

Sounds like YouTube - The Land of Pleasant Dreams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jE-7f7-gIQ).

OH WOW!! THIS IS IT! Thank you thank you thank you Quinn F!! Yippeee!!

The thanks should go to Gaumpers, he/she solved it about a month ago for a couple of other people looking for the same film. Glad to be the go-between though :)
