Those adorable plush monkey dolls that conquered Japan in the ‘70s, and the globe soon after, inspired this Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning offering that aired on ABC. Living a peaceful existence swinging in their treetop home, the Monchhichis relied on their wits--and the occasional spell from their mystical elder Wizzar (voiced by Frank Nelson)--to avoid the resentful Grumplins who lived below. Bobby Morse, Sidney Miller, Ellen Gerstell also provided voices. 13 episodes on 2 discs. 4 2/3 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
