There are half-remembered stories and folk tales from when I was a kid that have been popping into my head recently.
One is a cartoon short involving a traveling merchant, two villages, onion and garlic. Casual internet searches haven’t yielded anything yet, although I haven’t really tried all that hard yet.
One of my favourite stories to read was The Five Chinese Brothers. Harold and the Purple Crayon was another favourite, as was Where the Wild Things Are.
There was a TV show called Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings, about a little kid who has adventures through his chalk drawings. They were short little cartoons that I watched on Saturday mornings I think.
Update 2023-10-30: The wife was able to find the onion and garlic story. It was uploaded to the National Film Board of Canada‘s YouTube channel a couple of years after I made this blog post.
Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings is also on YouTube now, apparently added back in 2016.
