The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy

The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy is an American animated television series that aired on CBS from September 17 to December 24, 1988.

[1] Based on the dolls Raggedy Ann and Andy by Johnny Gruelle, the series was produced directly by CBS in honor of the 70th anniversary of the characters.

[2] The series was cancelled in 1989, although CBS aired reruns during the 1989–90 television season, and in August 1991 when Pee-Wee's Playhouse was shelved.

The plot involved a little girl named Marcella whose Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls would come to life when no humans were present in her bedroom.

As the cartoon was meant for younger audiences it was unlike most other cartoons of the 1980s which had "morals to the story" at the end, although one episode lightly touched upon the issue of poaching when Raggedy Ann, Andy and their friends had to save endangered unicorns from cattle rustlers, who sought to steal their horns for personal gain.
