Really? Have my ideas dried up that much that I'm reviewing an old cartoon about talking shoes? Alright lets get this over with, this is the Shoe People.

The Shoe People is a British cartoon from 1987 based on a children's book about talking shoes that mimic the person they are meant for such as a clown shoe being a clown and a police boot being a Policeman.
The setting is an old cobblers shop with a backroom filled with old shoes but look further in and there is a magical place called Shoe Town just below Toecap Hill. This is where the Shoe People live.
And that's basically it. This is a very common British cartoon, it has a lot of similarities to the Raggy Dolls which uses a similar setup which I covered in my top 100 cartoons and the plotlines are pretty standard with character introductions and very basic children's plots such as losing something or surprise birthday parties.
Being honest looking back on it, it's a little bit creepy; I mean it's talking shoes, it's hard to embrace such a weird concept yet it somehow works; it's a pretty harmless cartoon but for an 80s cartoon it doesn't stand out as well as others.
It does have a couple of interesting facts.
1. The theme is sung by Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues.
2. It was the first western show to be broadcast in the former Soviet Union.
Yeah, in communist Soviet Union, talking shoes were acceptable.

Next time, something more interesting.
