The Wuzzles
''Disney's The Wuzzles'' is an animated television series created for Saturday morning television, and was first broadcast on September 14, 1985 on CBS. An idea of Michael Eisner for his new Disney television animation studio, the premise is that the main characters are hybrids of two different animals. The original thirteen episodes ran on CBS for their first run.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Wuzzles Episode Guide (1985) )〕
==Premise==
''The Wuzzles'' features a variety of short, rounded animal characters (each called a Wuzzle, which means to mix up). Each is a roughly even, and colorful, mix of two different animal species (as the theme song mentions, "livin' with a split personality"), and all the characters sport wings on their backs, although only Bumblelion and Butterbear are seemingly capable of flight. All of the Wuzzles live on the Isle of Wuz. Double species are not limited to the Wuzzles themselves. From the appleberries they eat to the telephonograph in the home, or a luxury home called a castlescraper, nearly everything on Wuz is mixed together in the same way the Wuzzles are. The characters in the show were marketed extensively. The characters were featured in children's books, as poseable figures and plush toys (similar to Care Bears), and in a board game.
Disney premiered two animated series on the same day in the same time slot, 8:30 AM ET, in the United States, with the other being ''Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears'' on NBC,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Orlando Sentinel )〕 and both series were successful during their first seasons. However, ''The Wuzzles'' ended production after its initial run largely due to the sudden death of Bill Scott, the voice of Moosel. However, Scott was also the voice of Gruffi Gummi on ''Gummi Bears'' (which also saw the deaths of voice actors Bob Holt and Roger C. Carmel within 15 months of one another) and Corey Burton took over that role. CBS cancelled the show, and ABC picked it up and showed reruns during the 1986-1987 season; they aired it at 8:00 AM so two Disney shows would not be in competition with one another.
It was a bigger success in the United Kingdom where the pilot episode aired as a theatrical featurette in 1986 alongside a re-release of Disney's Bambi. In the United Kingdom, ''The Wuzzles'' and ''Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears'' were originally screened on the same channel (ITV) in 1985/1986, therefore both series enjoyed high popularity, and ''The Wuzzles'' was also repeated on the Children's BBC (now called CBBC) in 1987. Reruns of the show were aired on both The Disney Channel and Toon Disney. Songwriter Stephen Geyer performs the lead vocal on the theme song for ''The Wuzzles''.
