You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Maple Town''''', also known as ((Nihongo|'''''Maple Town Stories'''''|メイプルタウン物語|Meipuru Taun Monogatari|lead=yes)), is a 1986 Japanese [[anime]] series created by Chifude Asakura and directed by [[Junichi Sato]]. The series, animated by [[Toei Animation]], consists of 52 half-hour episodes, which aired on [[TV Asahi]] in Japan from January 19, 1986, to January 11, 1987.<ref name="mapletv">((cite web|url=http://www.anime.marumegane.com/1986/mapletown.html|title=''Maple Town'' (メイプルタウン物語) cast and crew information|website=marumegane.com|publisher=Takashi Murakami|language=ja|access-date=20 October 2016|archive-date=November 11, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111214852/http://www.anime.marumegane.com/1986/mapletown.html|url-status=dead))</ref>

The show focuses on the adventures of Patty Rabbit, Bobby Bear and their families, in a small [[anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] city named Maple Town.

==Plot summary==
Patty Hoperabbit, along with her family, arrives in Maple Town, a small town inhabited by friendly animals. However, in a train heist by the sly – if usually "endearingly unsuccessful" – thief, Wilde Wolf stole the mailbag from her father and escaped into the forest. Soon she followed after him to retrieve the mailbag. In the midst of getting the bag back from the thief, she befriends a boy of her age named Bobby Kumanoff who has the bag. After they escape from Wilde Wolf and outwit him, they deliver the mailbag safely to her father. Soon, the Rabbit Family settles in Maple Town as mail carriers and the bitter, yet sweet friendship of Patty and Bobby begins to blossom. At the same time they try to foil Wilde Wolf's plans.

The series' setting is [[Canada]] around the 1920s, while the setting of Palm Town Chapter is based on the [[West Coast of the United States]] around the 1980s.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/lineup/tv/mapletown_2nd/|title=新メイプルタウン物語・パームタウン編 - TOEI ANIMATION|website=www.toei-anim.co.jp|publisher=[[Toei Animation]]|access-date=20 October 2016))</ref>

During the 1990s, Toei Video released a ten-tape collection of ''Maple Town'', each consisting of three episodes in their original airing order. In 2013, TC Entertainment released the original series in [[DVD]] [[box set]]s as part of Toei's ''Recollection Anime Library'' lineup. The first box set released on September 27, 2013, and the second set on October 30, 2013. Palm Town Chapter series was also released in the same label on November 27, 2013, for the first box set and on December 25, 2013, for the second box set.

Select episodes of Saban's US dub were released on VHS from late 1987 until 1990 by [[Artisan Entertainment|Family Home Entertainment]] and Tonka Home Video. Each tape consisted of two stories each, except for the first release, "Welcome to Maple Town". No less than eight English episodes were distributed in the UK by the now-defunct M.S.D.
