Purr-tenders: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

Despite Hallmark's efforts, the series never gained enough steam to earn itself a cartoon series and [[Follow the Leader|compete with its predecessors and peers]], the [[Pound Puppies]]. There was a Burger King tie-in with a few toys, including some odd doll-stocking hybrids called 'Sock-Ems', and a handful of books telling their story, but beyond that there wasn't much beyond the strange backstory and the dolls' ability to purr that made them stand out.

These toys provide examples of:

Line 32:

** [[The Chick]] - Chirp-purr

** [[Sixth Ranger]] - Teddy-purr

* [[Follow the Leader]] - The odd and surreally [[Wangst~~|Wangsty~~]] [[Backstory]] was likely an attempt to cash in on the [[Pound Puppies]]' success.

* [[Follow the Leader]] - The odd and surreally [[Wangst]]y [[Backstory]] was likely an attempt to cash in on the [[Pound Puppies]]' success.

* [[For the Evulz]] - Ed-grr's only motivation for trying to catch the Purr-tenders and drag them back to Pick-A-Dilly.

* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]

* [[Pounds Are Animal Prisons|Pick-A-Dilly Is Kitty Prison]] - Going back to the shop was treated like [[A Fate Worse Than Death]], despite how the owner seemed nice enough, and presumably took care of all the animals' needs, including the cats.

* [[Punny Name]] - ''Every'' name is a pun. From the line itself to the names of the ~~kitties -- Scamp~~-purr, Hop-purr, Flop-~~purr -- and~~ their nasty dog nemesis, Ed-grr. Latecomer Teddy-purr was the [[Odd Name Out]].

* [[Secret Keeper]]

* [[Shout-Out]] - As noted above, Flop-purr's personality was strikingly similar to [[Looney Tunes|Daffy]], with the coloring to match.

** A storybook saw Hop-purr reinacting part of ''[[The Tale of Peter Rabbit]]'', sneaking off to steal carrots from somebody's garden and getting ~~caught -- not~~ by the owner, but by Ed-grr, who planned to take her back to Pick-a-Dilly.

* [[Shrinking Violet]] - Scamp-purr.

* [[Talking Animal]] - Notably, while the Purr-tenders could talk, none of the other animals seemed capable of communicating with humans. Ed-grr could talk to the cats, but wasn't able to talk to his owner; otherwise he could have ended the whole charade before it started.
