Also taken from the screener videocassette is this promotional ad to encourage retailers to add "Happy Ness: Secret Of The Loch" to store shelves.

"The animated, musical adventures of the community of serpents
living beneath the surface of Scotland's fabled Loch Ness. Each
"Nessie" has a distinctive personality, from good (Happy Ness,
Brave Ness) to not-so-good (Pompous Ness, Selfish Ness),
teaching kids the value of virtue over vice."

My critique of the show:

Although "Happy Ness: Secret Of The Loch" received the Award Of Excellence from the Film Advisory Board and the Seal Of Quality from The Family Channel, their criteria seemed to only be if a TV show demonstrated values deemed beneficial to children's education...numerous cartoon shows were given the Film Advisory Board's Award Of Excellence even though many of them had cheap animation, weak storylines and shallow one-dimensional characters. "Happy Ness: Secret Of The Loch" is typical of such a show...it had little lasting value and disappeared within a few years of it's debut.

There is one clever pun in the show. Each of the Nessie creatures has a name that ends in "Ness" such as "Happy Ness", "Brave Ness" and "Lovely Ness", and one who is simply referred to as "Eliot"...a play on Eliot Ness, the government agent who headed the task force known as "The Untouchables". Younger kids would not get that reference.

But one clever pun doesn't save this show from it's own mediocrity. It's highly unlikely that a major resurgence of popularity with this show will ever happen as it did with Hasbro's My Little Pony franchise when Lauren Faust created "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". Now if Lauren Faust took the Happy Ness franchise and infused it with similar quality production values...well, who knows?
