Where did they go?

Since this is the season of multiples i have been thinking about things that come in multiples and this has brought up some epic questions in my world.

1.  Animorphs - (This was brought on by someone that i encountered that made the mistake of naming their offspring Tobias. Poor kid, better there isn't more than one). Anyways, Animorphs, there had to be about 56 books at least. Stores dedicated whole shelves, no, sections, genres even to Animorph books. So here is the question: Where did they all go? All 86 books, teenagers turning into sloths and wombats, and ostriches and fighting the blob or something i can't really remember, yet now you see them no more.


2. Land Before Time - They are now on their 118th movie. Little Foot, who, you would think, would have grown to at least Adolescent Foot, is still having so many awesome adventures with all his/her friends, that are also, sadly without gender. Here is the thing: the whole dinosaur phase, it ended, and so one would think that we would see a moderately horrific end to the characters and this amazing franchise in general. When will they end?


3. Babysitters Club/Box Car Kids/Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew - Again, we all know that collectively there were close to 689 books written. This isn't Russia, no one was kind enough to put this country out of its misery and ban these books, so where are they now? If fate is just, i predict the bottom of a birdcage, but i doubt that this is the case. It's a little scary that there are so many books with the exact plot out there and yet we cannot locate them. This would make one assume that we find one and we mostly find them all, but they are still nowhere to be seen.


4. Wishbone - We can still find it in the turkey, but when it comes to taking a literature class this show is no longer there for you like you need it to be. If that small Jack Russell terrier wasn't there for you in high school then that educational experience was a lot harder than it had to be and i feel bad for you. Wishbone managed to give you a run-through of all the classics, but now where have you gone?

So there you have it, the mystery of life.
