''I Am Weasel'' is an American animated television series created by David Feiss for Cartoon Network, and the 4th of the network's Cartoon Cartoons. The series centers on I.M. Weasel, a beloved and highly successful weasel, and I.R. Baboon, an unsuccessful and unintelligent baboon who is jealous of Weasel's success and constantly tries to upstage him. ''I Am Weasel'' was originally a part of the ''Cow and Chicken'' show, often airing as the third of three segments in an episode, after two ''Cow and Chicken'' segments (except in one occurrence where it aired as a second segment between part one and two of The Ugliest Weenie). Eventually, ''I Am Weasel'' was spun off into its own series, which aired from 1999 to 2000, with both new episodes and the episodes that had aired on ''Cow and Chicken'' included in this series, totaling 79 episodes. ==Premise== The series chronicles the adventures of two funny animal rivals: I.M. Weasel, a famous, heroic, eloquent, highly intelligent, and many-talented weasel who is adored by everyone, and I.R. Baboon, an ugly and idiotic baboon who is envious of Weasel's success and constantly tries to be better than him. In season two, the Red Guy (Charlie Adler) became a main character on ''I Am Weasel'', while still retaining his role on ''Cow and Chicken''. In the series, he is also referred as "I.B. Red Guy", an allusion to Weasel's and Baboon's names. Secondary characters include Loulabelle (Susan Blakeslee; Teresa Ganzel) Weasel's assistant who usually dresses as a nurse and Admiral Bullets (Jess Harnell; Michael Gough), a Naval officer who relies on Weasel's help. Besides the Red Guy, some other characters from ''Cow and Chicken'' made cameo appearances in ''I Am Weasel'' from season two. These include Cow (Charlie Adler), Chicken (Charlie Adler), Mom (Candi Milo), Dad (Dee Bradley Baker), Flem (Howard Morris), Earl (Dan Castellaneta), and Teacher (Candi Milo). The show's premise begins from a humorous take on the classic nursery rhyme "Pop Goes the Weasel"; in fact, the series theme song, composed by Bill Fulton, written by Richard Pursel, and sung by April March, is based on the well-known musical version of the rhyme.〔Episode 19 / Season 2, Episode 6: "I Are Music Man" (1998): In a scene of the episode, The Red Guy repeatedly sings switches from the series' theme song and "Pop Goes the Weasel".〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Am Weasel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
