Lambert the Sheepish Lion

As Becky and I were driving back from a workshop about Loyette's brain at the Fountain City library this evening, we drove past an establishment called Lambert's Health Care. Becky asked: "You see that sign that says Lambert's? When I was a kid..." -- I already knew what she was going to say -- "...there was a cartoon called..."

"Lambert the Sheepish Lion," we finished the sentence simultaneously, then started singing the theme song aloud, in unison. Laaaambert, the sheepish lion / Laaaaambert, there's no denyin'...

We'd never talked about that particular cartoon before in the eight years we've been together (eight years this month!), but we both remembered it very well from our respective youths, having watched it multiple times on the Disney Channel. I have no idea why it made such an impression, but practically whenever I see the name "Lambert," it's the first thing I think of. (Sorry, Terrail and Miranda.)

Naturally, when I got home, I Googled it -- and was delighted to discover that the whole thing is on YouTube:

Considering how well Becky and I each independently remembered that cartoon -- and considering it's been around for 57 years -- I figured a few of y'all might get a kick out of it. :)

Lambert's name sounded only vaguely familiar to me when you mentioned it, but when I heard "La-a-a-ambert!", it came back to me. I saw it either on Disney's Sunday night TV program or as one of the cartoons that always preceded the movies we went to back in the day.

Oh, wow. I used to LOVE this cartoon as a kid. My mom taped this (and a bunch of other cartoons) off the Disney Channel once, and we used to watch it over and over again. Right after this on the tape was the "Jack and the Beanstalk" cartoon starring Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. :)
