Fat
Dog Mendoza
Based off of
Scott Musgrove's cult hit comic series, "Fat Dog Mendoza", an
obese K-9, with a killer smile prehensile tail, never ceases to find
adventure. Fat Dog and his boy, Little Costumed Buddy, live in
Neighborhood X, which seems normal until one notices that ancient Rome
and the Himalayas are only a block away from each other. The
surrealistic setting combined with its hip, deco wardrobe gives
"Fat Dog Mendoza" a memorable feel. The characters in the
series all seem to be in super hero costumes and only limited by their
own imaginations There were 26 episodes produced of the series as a
cooperative production between Sunbow Entertainment and Cartoon Network
Europe.
The Cramp
Twins
A
series that can be summed up in two words - Opposites Attack! The Cramp
Twins, Wayne and Lucien Cramp. They are a pair of twins with nothing in
common, except their last name. Wayne is best described as
"borderline dangerous" and has one mission in life - to
embarrass and harass his brother Lucien. This comical offbeat series,
following Wayne's bad-tempered antics and Lucien's desperate attempts to
save himself from humiliation, offers a highly original and quirky view
on the hardships of sibling rivalries!
