Matty Mattel and his Sister Belle were the hosts of a Sunday morning cartoon show called, "Matty's Funday Funnies" from 1961 to 1963. Cartoon shorts of Casper the Friendly Ghost, Beany and Cecil and Harvey Cartoons were a big part of the show, in-between Mattel toy commercials that were duly shown. Matty, Sister Belle and Casper the ghost were the first talking dolls produced by Mattel after the introduction of Chatty Cathy, who came on the market in 1960. Matty and Sister Belle were on the market from 1961 to 1963. Casper was produced from 1961 to 1963 in crisp white terry cloth, while in 1964-65 he was made of white plush, but was essentially the same doll.
