The Charmkins is a 1983 musical animated TV special based on Hasbro's collectible toys of the same name. It's notable for its All-Star Cast, including Ben Vereen as Dragonweed and Sally Struthers as Poison Ivy.In the idyllic Charmworld, all the Charmkin children live and play happily as they celebrate a flower festival, but trouble arises when the evil Dragonweed sees Lady Slipper dancing and wants to have her dance for himself. Floating her along the river to his own kingdom of Thistledown, Dragonweed plans to threaten her into singing for him, or else. The Charmkins, led by Brown-Eyed Susan, make the journey to Thistledown to save their friend with the help of the tricky witch Poison Ivy. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| The Charmkins / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The toyline had Poison Ivy be a villain who tried to make everyone itch, while in the cartoon she's a mischievous Trickster Mentor who helps the heroes. | |

Trickster Mentor | |
| The Charmkins / int_58b42f3d | comment |
Trickster Mentor: Poison Ivy poses as a dragon to scare the heroes and uses her shapeshifting magic to turn each of them into things they're not, which eventually clues them in that they need a disguise. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| The Charmkins / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Subverted. It looks like Dragonweed and his cronies will turn good when the Charmkins bring color and light to Thistledown, with Dragonweed even shedding a tear... but as soon as the song ends he and his goons try to recapture the kids. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
| The Charmkins / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Briarpatch, Thorny, the Bramble Brothers, and Skunkweed point out repeatedly how rotten it is for the Charmkins to not invite them to the flower festival, as weeds are flowers too. | |

Story-Breaker Power | |
| The Charmkins / int_8712e4c9 | comment |
Story-Breaker Power: Poison Ivy's magic could solve the plot quickly, but she won't help the heroes directly because it'd be too easy. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| The Charmkins / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Whatever Dragonweed's "or else" threat is, he doesn't outright state what he'll do, instead getting a whole villain song about things he could do. | |

| The Charmkins / int_d6a84ac8 | comment |
Villainous Badland, Heroic Arcadia: The quiet, charming and scenic Charmworld is home to the innocent and childlike Charmkins. They’re menaced by the dastardly Dragonweed and his cronies who live in the nearby Thistledown, a murky and muddy swamp teeming with filth and weeds. | |
