The White Horses

On white horses let me ride away
To my world of dreams so far away
Let me run
To the sun

To a world my heart can understand
It's a gentle, warm and wonder land
Far away
Stars away

Where the clouds are made of candyfloss
As the day's born
When the stars are gone
We'll race to meet the dawn

So when I can only see the grey
Of a sad and very lonely day
That's when I
Softly sigh
On white horses
Snowy white horses
Let me ride away

Yogi Bear
Zoo Time

Others I sort of remember was a Chech film about a red ballon (in black and white), another dubbed series about french knights, Heidi and a Blue Peter type programe called (I think) Tom Tom. I remember that they used to try to simulate the previous weekend Grand Prix using a Scalectric race track.

Can you think of any more? What about American, Australian, French series that I have missed?
