'''''Popples''''' is a Saturday morning cartoon, based on the Popples toys, that aired in the United States from 1986 to 1987. The pilot was a live-action Shelley Duvall special, in which they were puppets and marionettes; after this was well-received, it was decided to make a cartoon series with the same characters. The cartoon was produced by [[DiDiC CEntertainment]] Entertainment and LBS Communications and animated by [[KKC and D Asia]], [[Madhouse (company)|Madhouse]] ([[Cardcaptor Sakura|yes]], [[DennoDen-noh Coil|that]] [[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time|Madhouse]]), [[Studio Korumi]] and [[Studio Shaft]]. It was also made into a line of toys in 1986. The idea for the franchise came from rolling up socks.

The name "Popple" is a reference to the popping sound they make when unfolding themselves from such a ball, or in the cartoon, pulling objects from their pouches.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
Popples commonly pull large items from their pouches that couldn't possibly fit inside, which come from hammerspace; in "Popples Alley", Bonnie looks inside Puffball's pouch and sees numerous objects floating in a void.
