Bucky OHare and the Toad Wars (Bucky OHare and the Toad Menace in Canada) is a French-American animated series created by Sunbow Productions, Marvel Productions, Abrams/Gentile Entertainment, Continuity Comics and the French company IDDH. It was based on the cult comic Bucky OHare.Animated by AKOM, the show is remembered for its distinctive and popular theme tune. It debuted in 1991 in the UK on the BBC, as well as in the United States. Most of the ideas from the comic book were used for the cartoon, with three major differences: Bruce is transported into another dimension instead of killed, Willy can travel freely between Earth and the aniverse, and the omnipotent mouse is nowhere to be seen. The cartoon explored more of the aniverse and followed a loose unifying arc, with Buckys home planet of Warren being captured by the toads in the season premiere and rescued in the finale (which was co-written by Neal Adams).Almost all the characters from the comic book appeared in the cartoon. Most of the new ones that were introduced are listed below. Bruiser – Bruces brother, a Betelgeusian Berserker Baboon who joins Buckys team as space marine on the Righteous Indignation. He, like all berserker baboons, scares the toads out of their wits and loves to beat them up. He is dimwitted but well-meaning, and has great respect for Willy. Commander Dogstar – Buckys ally, captain of The Indefatigable, another frigate fighting against the toads. Mimi LaFloo – A fox (so to speak) originally a captive of the toads, Mimi is rescued by Bucky and goes on to command her own mammal frigate, The Screaming Mimi. (eps. 4 and 10) Toadborg – a large, purple cyborg second-in-command under KOMPLEX. Frix and Frax – the Air Marshals two bumbling subordinates. Al Negator – a sleazasaur (bipedal crocodile) spy and mercenary frequently hired by the Air Marshal. He dresses and speaks in a manner consistent to the cajun people.
