There WAS a The Monkees cartoon

 The thing that bothers me is that I KNOW a The Monkees cartoon existed.   It may have been short lived and it may have been unlicensed, but it existed, at least in Houston, TX in 1987.   I was in the children's hospital then, five years old."  

My mama knew exactly when to turn on the TV show I could watch it.

All my family has passed, but my sister vaguely remembered it,too (she was only 3).

At the beginning of the cartoon, they would march down the street.  They were wearing blue marching band uniforms with the high hats and the uniforms had yellow/gold on them and that hats had the yellow plumes.  They would march down the street to "Hey, Hey We're the Monkees."

The cartoon followed them in every day situations.

People try to tell me that it was The Beatles cartoon, but  it wasn't.  That one came on, too, and I didn't like it at all.  The way the characters  were drawn bothered me, and honestly, it still does bother me.

I know I'm not crazy with this.   I know it existed.    But, I can't find a single other person now that seems to remember or maybe they don't admit, that this cartoon existed.

In one place, I wrote black plumes when posting about it.   

The closest I've ever come to somebody agreeing with me is here: https://filmboards.com/t/The-Monkees/The-Monkees-Animated-TV-Series%21-1799519/

A person wrote, "It seems like there WAS a Monkees cartoon made in the 60's or 70's. It was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, I think. It's been too many years since I saw it. Did I dream it? Or were The Monkees guests on a Hanna-Barbera Cartoon, and I'm just remembering that?"

My response  was, "You are NOT imagining it! However, it doesn't seem to be anywhere!

Yes, The Monkees had a separate cartoon show from the The Beatles. I can remember not being a fan of The Beatles, but loving The Monkees. I don't know why. I was a little kid and I was in the hospital, so it was whatever made me happy that I wanted to watch.

I just posted:

Somebody wrote a LiveJournal entry about The Monkees sitcom. I responded with, "I know they had the sitcom.

Did you ever see/do you remember the CARTOON of the The Monkees? I had felt like I was the only one that remembered it since I can't find anything about it online.

Briana then told me that she remembered it, too.

I don't know the year it started airing or on what channel. In fact, I don't even know what channel I watched. However, I remember when I was in the hospital in Kindergarten, I remember my Mama turning on the TV for me because I LOVED watching that cartoon. That made me happy, many times out of horrible days.

I would wait for this four cartoon figures marching down the street in what I seem to remember as blue marching band uniforms with gold/yellow bars on the shirts and black feathers coming from the hats. I might not have that quite right. However, I know that the song, "Hey, hey, we're The Monkees" played as they walked down the street."

People keep saying it was The Beatles, but it wasn't.

We also get the response, "Davy Jones of the Monkees appeared on a single episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies. After that, there wasn't ever an animated Monkees series at all."

And  the response, "The Monkees did make an "appearance" in one episode of Schoolhouse Rock.

Remember this, the third verse of "A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing"?:

Oh, I put a dime in the drugstore record machine.
Oldie goldies started playing, if you know what I mean.
I heard Chubby Checker, he was doin' the Twist.
And the Beatles and the Monkees, it goes like this.
I put a dime in the drugstore record machine."

But the responses insisting The Monkees cartoon didn't exist don't help at all.
