Editing Happy Tree Friends (section)

===Premise===
''Happy Tree Friends'' centers on the lives of anthropomorphic, multicolored woodland animals. It intentionally misleads first-time viewers into thinking it is a children's animated edutainment series, with the show's regular opening and closing sequences being in the form of the [[Little Golden Books]],<ref>Kenn Navarro [@ChainKnuckle] (February 15, 2015).

All the openning ''<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki>'' and credits for the show are based on Golden Books designs.]" (Tweet) – via [[Twitter]].</ref> and all main characters (except Lumpy and Sniffles) sharing a ''[[Care Bears]]''-esque design (pie-eyes, heart-shaped noses, mitten hands, and boot-shaped feet). Each episode starts peacefully with the characters living their lives normally, with activities ranging from childish to grown-up, but a sudden event unintentionally (sometimes intentionally) caused by another animal leads to many of the characters being subjected to very extreme and cruel [[graphic violence]]. Each character has suffered brutal pain, murder, or mutilation by the end of each episode, but always returns alive and well by the next.<ref name="Metacritic">{{cite web |title=Happy Tree Friends: Season 1 |url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/happy-tree-friends |access-date=September 12, 2013 |work=Metacritic.com |publisher=CBS Interactive Inc. |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305222809/http://www.metacritic.com/tv/happy-tree-friends |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=":1">{{cite web |last=Horn |first=Jesse |date=December 10, 2010 |title=Happy Tree Friends |url=http://www.azalert.com/odd/?p=4 |access-date=February 7, 2013 |work=Interview with Mondo Media CEO John Evershed |publisher=Oddities Magazine}}</ref>
