EspañolSNORKS
(Redirected from The Snorks)
'''Snorks''' was an American Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, which ran on NBC from 1984 to 1989.
Based on a comic book created by Belgian Nic Broca in 1982, the cartoon was a mild success, compared to the popularity of Hanna-Barbera's ''The Smurfs'' (a similar adaptation from a Belgian comic).
Snorks are a race of small, colorful, fictional beings that live in the underwater world of Snorkland. They have snorkels on their heads, which are used to propel them swiftly through the water. When a Snork becomes excited his tube makes a "snork" sound. Like the Flintstones or the Smurfs, they have much of the same technology as humans, adapted to their own aquatic environment. The Snorks use clams as currency, a reference to the slang word "clam" meaning "dollar."
According to the Snork back-story, a few ventured to the surface in 1643, and watched a ship being attacked by pirates. The captain wound up in the water, and that was the first contact between the species. Since then, Snorks have adopted several human habits, such as wearing clothes.
★ 'All-Star Seaworthy' - more or less the hero of the series.
★ 'Casey Kelp' - a female Snork with red hair and generally believed to be All-Star's love interest.
★ 'Daffney Gillfin' - another female Snork who was always concerned with her looks.
★ 'Dimmy Finster' - another male Snork whom Daffney seemed to have a crush on.
★ 'Tooter Shellby' - a green Snork who could only communicate through "tooting."
★ 'Occy' - Allstar's pet octopus. He was once owned by Junior until he abandoned him.
★ 'Junior Wetworth' - A spoiled rich kid. Before Bigweed became the villain in season 3, Junior was seen as villain-like, due to his rude attitude towards other Snorks.
★ 'Corky' - the Snork Patrol officer.
★ 'Bigweed' - the villain of the series.
★ 'Li'l Seaweed' - Bigweed's sidekick.
★ 'Jojo' - A two-snorked Snork who lives in the wild.
For the third season (which premiered in syndication) in 1987, several changes were made to the series. The character Dimmy Finster was written out of the storylines, and three new characters were introduced: Corky (the Snork Patrol officer), and the series' new chief villains, Bigweed and his sidekick, Li'l Seaweed. Also, there are some episodes which take place on dry land, and the later episodes run in two parts.
