I remembered that Swedish series with Finnish actors (who share some of the same actors who impersonate Moomins' voices in the more recent animated series, i.e. Elina Salo as Lilla My), but not this time, it seems. I know a guy who has some of these - but on Beta videotapes, and his recorder is broke down! <BR/><BR/>And hey, The Bangals! They used to play at Calsi, down at Hurramph, Nevada.

I guess it was too uncomfortable and simply impractical to have the actors try to act wearing those gigantic costume heads. Still, how utterly bizarre it was.<BR/><BR/>Word verification: bangals.
