The Lampies Children's Animation

A traditional hand drawn animation series for children aged 3 and above with award winning music, fun characters and engaging storylines.

Created by David Bonner in conjunction with Uli Meyer Animation Studios and music by Mcasso Music, there are 52 x 11minute episodes that were origionally commissioned by the BBC.

The early part of the decade saw a sucessful Christmas record, Theatre productions and a wide spread of merchandising behind the BBC broadcasts of The Lampies in prime time slots.

TV distribution rights for Series One were sold into 33 countries.

Unfortunately financial issues caused the creative and business drive to faulter and momentum was lost.

In 2003 The Lampies IP was bought from the receiver by a private investor.

Lyrics to the Lampies theme tune

“LAMPIES!”

If you start looking around
Up high or deep underground
You will see light everywhere
But how does the light get there?

Head Light, Red Light
Green Light, Yellow Light
Strip Light, Flash Light
Spot Light, Traffic Light
Flood Light, Torch Light
Fairy Light, Porch Light

Who keeps these lights so bright?

La la la la,
It’s The Lampies
La la la la la la,
Everywhere

They light up your world
Making sure there’s no trouble
If the power should fail
They’ll come at the double

Street Light, Wall Light
Strobe Light, Gas light
Foot Light, Cab Light
Sky Light, Dimmer Light
Blue Light, White Light
Brake Light, Bright Light

Who keeps you safe at night?

2/
La la la la,
It’s The Lampies

La la ………….

The light that they generate’s
Enough to illuminate
The Universe and the Stars
Their light can be seen from Mars

Tree Light, Cabin Light
Light Show, Camera Light
Fire Fly, Landing Light
E-Mergen-Cy Light
Fire Light, Candle Light
L.E.L.E.D Light

Who keeps these lights so bright?

La la la la,
It’s The Lampies
La la la la la la,
Everywhere

They light up your world
Keeping all the lights shining
If something goes wrong
It’s fixed with expert timing

Lamp Post, White House
Edison Light House
Light Bulb, Fun House
Dog House, Doll House
My House, Your House
And the Sidney Opera House

Who keeps them safe at night?

3/
La la la la,
It’s The Lampies

Who will be there, When lights start to flicker?
Who’s gonna help, When you’re cold and can’t see?
Who can you trust, to stop that shiver
You guessed it, it’s the Lampies

La la la la………..

La la la la,
It’s The Lampies
La la la la la la,
Everywhere

They light up your world
Making sure there’s no trouble
If the power should fail
They’ll come at the double

High Light, Low Light,
Moon Light, Pilot Light,
Tail Light, Twilight,
Day Light, Strike-a-light,
Limelight, Travel Light,
Side Light, Cellulite?

That last one’s not quite right!

La la la la,
It’s The Lampies
