Here's a video to make you all nostalgic...

This is the X-ray of Aan, an orangutan blinded after being shot more than 100 times.
Image source, Orangutan FoundationClaudia Hartley, a vet from Cambridgeshire, is hoping she can help partially restore her sight.
"That's quite miserable for an animal as intelligent as an orangutan," Ms Hartley said.
"It's akin to a human being in a prison cell, and that's her life 24/7. It's the best the charity, the Orangutan Foundation, can offer her because it keeps her safe, it keeps her fed."
After examining the orangutan in September, Ms Hartley said there was a "good chance" of restoring sufficient sight in Aan's right eye to enable her to return to the wild.

We recently posted an article on the BBC News website about Aan.
She's an orangutan blinded after being shot more than 100 times, but with the help of a local vet she could have her sight partially restored.
Image source, Orangutan FoundationAan, aged between 10 and 12 years, was shot with an air rifle on a plantation in Borneo in 2012, leaving her blind in one eye and severely sight-impaired in the other.
Image source, Orangutan FoundationClaudia Hartley, a vet from Cambridge, hopes she can save the damaged eye, leaving the animal, who has been in captivity in Borneo since the attack, able to fend for herself in the wild.
The operation is planned for February.

The NSPCC has issued a statement regarding the sentencing of Simon Ball, who sexually abused four teenage girls at two schools, including at Kimbolton School near Huntingdon.
The children's charity said: "Simon Ball abused a position of trust to exploit and manipulate young girls and the sentence he's received reflects the seriousness of his crimes.
"As a teacher, Ball had a duty of care to his pupils. Instead, he pursued a campaign of abuse that lasted more than a decade."
The charity thanked "the bravery of his victims" for bringing Ball to justice.

Judge Sean Enright, sentencing Simon Ball at Peterborough Crown Court, said: "These offences were all about satisfying your fantasies. There was never anything in it for the girls."
He added that Ball, whom he described as a "talented musician", would never work in a school again as a result of the "great harm" he caused his victims.
Ball, 42, formerly of Greenwich, south-east London, and currently of Newent, Gloucestershire, was jailed for a total of 12 years. Five years for abusing one girl at Kimbolton and seven years for abusing three girls at Giggleswick in north Yorkshire, with the jail terms to run consecutively.
Jurors were told that Oxford-educated Ball had sex with one of the girls from Giggleswick on his wife's wedding dress.

Hinchingbrooke's board unanimously agreed to ratify the merger with Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust last Thursday.
In April more than 400 people marched through Huntingdon to protest against the possible merger of the two trusts.
It's thought the move could save £9m.

Get your best hats and suits on, there's royalty in town.
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall are due to visit Cambridge's Fitzwilliam Museum this morning to mark its bicentenary and to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the Cambridge University Library.
Image source, Getty ImagesThey'll then visit King's College chapel later in the day to listen to a rehearsal by the college choir.
Yesterday we reported on biker Simon Hackett, given a 60-day driving ban after he was caught speeding at 142mph (229km/h) on the A47 at Terrington St John.
Chris Spinks, former head of roads policing in Norfolk said it was rare for people to be travelling at this sort of speed "well in excess of a mile every 30 seconds" and very few people were able to drive at those speeds and be in full control of their vehicle.
"The thought of somebody going at those speeds weaving in and out of traffic doesn't bear thinking about... if you're involved in a collision at that speed I can only envisage one outcome for a motorcyclist - and that's fatal".
Hackett, 45, from Wisbech, was also ordered to pay a fine and costs amounting to just over £350, at Norwich Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Mr Sprinks said he could see why people might think it a light sentence, compared with a 12-month ban for drink- or drug-driving, but that "two months without a licence will cause problems" for the self-employed carpenter and may cost him a financial penalty when he has to insure his vehicles again.
