The Monster Plantation featured beautiful background paintings depicting a sunny southern afternoon. For The Monster Mansion, the setting switched from daytime to dusk.
The monster picnic is in full swing here, and we encounter all sorts of colorful characters.
A female monster has dumped her picnic basket on her male friend's head. Note that they get their pizza from Luigi's.
A pink baby monster named Toonie stays close to his big mama, Etheleen. She tells her baby, "Don't be frightened, child. They're only humans." Toonie became a yellow monster in 2009.
The Monster Scouts are getting into mischief. A monster child is trapped by a fellow scout inside a butterfly net. The trapped monster and butterfly were sold on eBay for charity.
A nasty little orange monster named Stotz plants an explosive device on an unsuspecting monster named Lappy.
The big coach monster (she always gets a laugh) is named Big Bertha. She shouts at the Scouts to line up for roll call.
A trio of looney birds nearby are called the Out of Tunesters, and they attempt to sing.
Not shown from this section is a little monster playing ring toss with the tail of a another monster---a big, orange Ferdinand the Bull-like monster sniffing flowers.
Also not seen in these pictures is a trio of monsters trying to get honey from a beehive.
Our journey will continue...

Still enjoying this series! :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'm working on Part 4---
ReplyDeleteAre the Out of Toonsters monsters that just so happen to look like birds, or are they regular ol' birds that are just big and goofy-looking enough to hang out with the monsters?
ReplyDeleteI've wondered the same thing. The whole bird/dinosaur thing blurs some lines. Very progressive of the ride designers back in 1980. They were ahead of their time.
