The original ''[[SuperTed]]'', created by [[Mike Young (producer)|Mike Young]] became the first British cartoon series to be aired on [[Disney Channel]] in the United States in 1984. Young moved to the United States to work on more animated series and in 1988 he made a ''SuperTed''-sequel-type cartoon called ''[[Fantastic Max]]'' (originally based on the cartoon pilot ''Space Baby'') produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]], who decided to create a new series of ''SuperTed''.

In the UK, [[Mike Young (producer)|Mike Young]] and the [[BBC]] decided to rerecord the series to use the original voices of [[Derek Griffiths]] for SuperTed and [[Jon Pertwee]] for Spotty, which also resulted in some minor script changes. The episodes were also split into two parts, thus creating 26 10-minute stories, which resulted in the series not being broadcast until January 1990 on the BBC. It was repeated again twice in 1992 and 1993.

The Further Adventures of SuperTed is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera and Siriol Animation in association with S4C, and continues the adventures of SuperTed.[1][2] Only 13 episodes were produced and originally broadcast on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera in the United States starting on 31 January 1989.[3]

Production

[edit]

The original SuperTed, created by Mike Young became the first British cartoon series to be aired on Disney Channel in the United States in 1984. Young moved to the United States to work on more animated series and in 1988 he made a SuperTed-sequel-type cartoon called Fantastic Max (originally based on the cartoon pilot Space Baby) produced by Hanna-Barbera, who decided to create a new series of SuperTed.

This new American version of the show takes on a more epic format, with Texas Pete, Bulk and Skeleton also joined by new villains. The theme song was replaced with a more American overture, and the show poked fun at all aspects of American culture, from the Grand Ole Opry to Star Wars.[4] Only two of the original cast were used for this new series, with Victor Spinetti and Melvyn Hayes returning to voice Texas Pete and Skeleton. Unlike the original, the series used digital ink and paint.

In the UK, Mike Young and the BBC decided to rerecord the series to use the original voices of Derek Griffiths for SuperTed and Jon Pertwee for Spotty, which also resulted in some minor script changes. The episodes were also split into two parts, thus creating 26 10-minute stories, which resulted in the series not being broadcast until January 1990 on the BBC. It was repeated again twice in 1992 and 1993.

Characters
