This is topic Yet another "Was this an actual cartoon, or a mere fever dream?" query... in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
I remember watching a cartoon show about a girl who owned a stuffed koala...and if ever she rubbed noses with her koala, the toy would come to life.
The Koala was apparently a member of an entire race of other-dimensional koalas...some of whom (like his floating, pink sister) displayed Mr. Mxyzptlk-esque level magic powers.
And...the magic koalas all HATED humans...except for Stuffed Koala. He liked 'em.
oh, and the little girl's father/uncle/grandfather/brother/oboe teacher was trapped in the Koala-Dimension, and would sometimes give her visions of a cosmic destiny.
Was this real?
I'm cracking like an egg, aren't I?

Yeah. Pretty much.

Did any of the koalas have lasers?

No, but I think the floating pink one had a magic makeup mirror. Posted by Samprimary (Member # 8561) on :
This is all real. I will find you the intro song and everything. Please hold.

Check the box for the second (english) intro video.

I didn't see any lasers. I don't believe it.

Wow.. I think I actually kind of remember this show. Also, that japanese into is absolutely freaking insane.

Holy crap, I think I remember this show. I even think I had a stuffed Noozle.

The Noozles was great! Whoever thought up Koala-Wala Land (the Koala dimension) had to have been a mad genius.... I do believe the Koala and Kangaroo soldiers had lasers. Koala-Wala Land was a military state.
And yes, the pink koala did have a magic makeup mirror which allowed her to teleport from one dimension to the next, among other things.

That is so bizzare.

Gah...I hate when people beat me to answers! I knew this one right away. It's one of the first TV shows I remember from when I was younger.

I'm the same way Little_Doctor. I knew this one right away as it's a show I remember from when I was a little kid. In fact, my first teddy bear was named Blinky.

I remember this one too. I knew exactly what it was as soon as you got to Koala. I think her father was trapped in some other world? I seem to remember him being in a big crystal of some kind.

Whatever happened to elmer fudd and buggs singing an Wagnerian opera for an acid trip?
