Monchhichis is a Saturday morning cartoon, based on a line of Japanese dolls imported to the United States by Mattel. The cartoon was produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC in 1983.
The Monchhichis resided in the woodsy kingdom of Monchia, under the rule of a benign wizard, Wizzar. This tribe of highly developed monkey-like creatures lived in the tops of very tall trees, high above the clouds. Their idyllic life was continually threatened by the gloomy Grumplins of nearby Grumplor, whose evil leader, Horgg, enjoyed being called "Your Loathsomeness" and "Your Nastiness". The wise Wizzer would often conjure up powerful spells to save the Monchhichis from the evil grasp of the Grumplins. Fortunately, the Monchhichis were smarter and more resourceful in their efforts to protect their treetop society.
Monchhichis was spoofed on Robot Chicken in 2009, in the sketch "I Love Her".
