The Sunshine Makers
Get the Flash Player to see this content.
This is a story of happy gnomes who have the ability to distill sunshine and bottle it in the form of milk, which they deliver around the village. The scenes with the gnomes are in reddish-orange and white. The forest nearby is inhabited by goblins and they are sad. Their scenes are all in blue-and-white. The goblins can’t stand sunshine, because it makes them happy. They attack the gnome village, but the gnomes fight back by bombarding the goblins with milk bottles. Soon the goblins are assimilated and everyone is happy. Why milk? Well, the cartoon was “brought to you” by the Borden Milk Company.

Some gnomes, who spend the day bottling sunshine (good idea!) must battle the dark people (not racist!) who don’t want sunshine at all. Interesting concept, insane songs. Maybe there’s something behind this.. I don’t know! But fun to watch nevertheless.

This was my favorite cartoon when I was a child, it still is. I can remember watching it over and over again, and it just made me happy. This is the frist time I viewed it in color, the last time I watched it was back in the early 1960’s. I do remember another ending to this cartoon in which the little guys deliver bottled sunshine in little Divco milk trucks. This makes sense being that Borden’s presents is in the title. Back in NJ, Uncle Fred on Channel 13 would show it over and over again. Thank you ever so much for sharing the Sunshine Makers with me; it made my day. Mod Mike
