Summary
Cel-animated version
In the cel-animated version, Mr. Bogus is a yellow gremlin-like creature living in the walls of the suburban home of Tommy Anybody, alternately creating problems and/or accidentally solving them. Sometimes Bogus adventures to his own world, Bogusland, a distorted alternate dimension of curved and warped perspective and bizarre plots. He often encountered the feared dust bunnies known on the show as Dirt Dudes.
Clay animated version
The clay animated version is a series of shorts that are localized versions of several episodes of the 1990 French / Belgian series of shorts simply titled Bogus, and served as lead-ins to commercial breaks. They were originally produced by Antenne 2, Y.C. Aligator Film and Chin Chin Production, and were created by Michel Durieux and Ghislain Honoré. They were first aired on 11 30, 1990, and reran from 11 2, 1990 to 12 1994. There were 300 episodes created, but only 72 were localized and used in the 72 episodes of the cel-animated version.[1]
In its original 1990 plot, the male house owner woke up by his alarm clock, drank coffee, took his keys and left from home to work. But during his absence, the house wasn't alone. Bogus, a funny little yellow character, fate because of his hiding place and saw a short and fun adventures with surrounding objects. He clumsily discovers the world around them in different rooms of the house (such as the bathroom and the attic) and always provoked laughter from the viewers.[1]
In the 1993 localized version, the original voice-acting and background music were changed to Cam Clarke's voice-acting and the instrumental version of the cel-animated version's opening theme.
