"The Secret World of Og" is a 1983 ABC Weekend Special three-part animated episode produced by the Australian division of Hanna-Barbera Productions (Hanna-Barbera Australia Pty.) and based on the 1961 children's novel of the same name written by Pierre Berton. It originally aired on ABC on April 30, May 7 and May 14, 1983.
Five young siblings (Penny, Pamela, Peter, Patsy and Pollywog) and their pets (Yukie, a dog and Earless, a cat) who discover a mysterious hole in the floor of their playhouse which leads them to the underground magical and mysterious world of Og. They realize that this could be the place where they can find their missing comic books and other items that mysteriously vanished from their home. After entering the underground passage, the children meet strange green elfin creatures who can only say "Og" and they soon learn that the Ogs have been taking comics and books from their playhouse because they use them for role-playing in their imaginations.
On September 13, 2011, "The Secret World of Og" was released on DVD in Region 1 by Visual Entertainment (VEI).
