The Hugga Bunch | comment |
The Hugga Bunch, like many properties of the 1980s, started as characters on Hallmark greeting cards. They became popular, and soon had toys made by Kenner, as well as books, clothes, and a made-for-TV movie special in 1985, which won an Emmy for Best Visual Effects.The movie revolves around a girl named Bridget, who is reluctant to see her aging grandmother off to a retirement community, as she's the only person in her family who knows the value of a hug. Bridget travels through her mirror to HuggaLand, where she meets the titular Hugga Bunch, who solve any problem, big or small, with a warm, loving hug.They tell her of the mysterious youngberries, which can be used to make her grandmother young, but the evil Queen Admira has a stranglehold on the berries to keep herself young forever. Bridget and the Hugga Bunch undergo a dangerous journey to the Land of Shrugs to find the youngberries and save her grandma with the power of hugs. | |

Patriotic Fervor: When told to kneel before Queen Admira, Bridget retorts she's an American citizen and won't kneel to anybody, sheepishly remarking that it's in the Constitution. | |

Vain Sorceress | |
The Hugga Bunch / int_43b6fb56 | comment |
Vain Sorceress: Queen Admira keeps herself young looking with the use of youngberries, which the 8-year-old heroine tries to procure for her aging grandmother. She gets her karmic comeuppance when the key that unlocks the glass case in which the young-berry tree is kept gets left inside the case, after which time the sorceress rapidly ages and dies. | |
