These guys as Smiling Critters- https://youtu.be/sIhs6rY4hXU?si=BK3Fnwqmr4_DBiEa

I couldn't think of a better animal for the brothers, so I chose Martin as a cheetah and Chris as a gazelle :D in a version of the smiling critters from Poppy Playtime :)

But hey! At least this means CARTOON DogDay and CatNap are buddies! Lookit the sweeties in the picture 🥰

Hi!

So um I think my last ask might have not gone through so second times the charm! Was there a reason in the smiling critters cartoon to include the photo of dogday hugging catnap? was it just background or was it setting the stage for the betrayal of catnap hurting dogday

That's all thanks and I hope you have a great day! :>

"Thanks again for babysitting, kids! Good luck!"

Ok, I know this is about Bobby and Picky, but I really gotta add on to DogDay and CatNap's real quick.

They obviously have that "have fun and get things done during the day and resting well at night" thing going on, but I realized they may also represent something that any kind of strong relationship includes: communication and listening.

This is especially evident in the fact that DogDay is the leader of the critters and that CatNap hardly ever talks (And in the cartoon's case he may even be physically incapable of speech)

DogDay represents the communication and CatNap represents the listening, but they both also reciprocate those aspects to eachother!

CatNap may not be able to speak, but he does his best to communicate in his own way while DogDay is always ready to listen to his best friend!

Something that I've noticed ever since the Smiling Critters were introduced is that they can so easily be paired off into complementary duos, ones that are specifically designed to teach children fundamental lessons about life and self-care from two different angles. It's really interesting to me.

Like obviously you have Dogday and Catnap, with their sun/moon, dog/cat dichotomy, that stress how important it is to have fun and get things done during the day, but also that it's important to wind down, relax, and get a good night's sleep.

-

Bubba Bubbaphant and Craftycorn were introduced as a duo in the Smiling Critter show's intro, and their dichotomy is quite obvious. They are basically the right and left sides of the brain personified. Bubba is the left side of the brain, logical, analytical, focused on math and science. Craftycorn is the right side of the brain, creative and imaginative, focused on the arts and self-expression. They represent learning and academia in all its forms, the different ways people engage with and understand the world.

-

Hoppy Hopscotch and Kickin' Chicken form the sportsmanship duo. They are both portrayed as enjoying sports and the outdoors, but in different ways that highlight the different ways sports can be played and enjoyed and also what it entails to be successful at them. Hoppy Hopscotch may be loud and impatient, but she is also a team player, shown in her willingness to slow down her fast pace to make sure none of her friends are left behind. Kickin' Chicken, on the other hand, is laid-back, relaxed, and chill, the described "cool kid" of the group, but he's also described as having a ton of perseverance, more of a "slow and steady wins the race" type of person.

-

This leaves Bobby Bearhug and Picky Piggy as the last pair. Fittingly, these two are all about how to meet the fundamental needs of yourself and others. Bobby teaches children how to nourish themselves emotionally through showing and receiving care from others, while Picky teaches them how good food is important to nourish the body and soul. Depriving oneself of either of these things only makes oneself and therefore everyone around one miserable, because those fundamental needs are no longer being met.

-

Like fr, this is some pretty genius marketing right here. You have enough characters that every kid will have their favorite, but not so many that any would get lost in the shuffle, because the lessons each one of them would teach would be integral to the group as a whole. It really makes me that much sadder we saw basically nothing of the Smiling Critters during the game itself, because Mob Games struck gold with this concept, only to ultimately do nothing with it. :/

But I guess that's what fandom is for, eh?

"CatNap, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry, CatNap! You won't fall into the river! I'll hold your hand to make extra sure."

"... Hmm?... You don't like the sound of the river?... Hmm... This is tricky. We can't go to Crafty's house without crossing the river..... But don't worry, buddy! I think I got an idea!"

Also, I wasn't the one to find this, but is this the 2nd secret? Is that why 10:05 to 10:06 is important?

A comment pointed out an interesting detail about Dogday's pose at the end of the cartoon.

Here's a comparison of Dogday's pose cartoon vs game
