The Wuzzles (1985)

EndedAnimation showChildren

Disney's The Wuzzles was an American animated television series created for Saturday morning television, and was first broadcast on September 14, 1985 on CBS. 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.

What's Up, Stox?

It's that time again for the annual Funtime Fall Festival. Unfortunately the Wuzzles don't have enough money to buy the costumes they want. After failing to make some money for the costumes, they meet a new resident of Wuz, Tycoon. Did money ever grow on trees? Well, yes! Tycoon had a money tree and a spare seed that he offered to the Wuzzles for all their good stuff. Unfortunately when the seed was planted, every Wuzzle couldn't wait for their turn and started pruning money from the tree until it was bare. Crock manages to find out that Tycoon has a money tree and steals it. Soon after Tycoon offers to give back all the Wuzzles' stuff to help him get back his money tree. The attempt to get the money tree fails and the Wuzzles learn that they were being just as greedy as Crock and that snorses do not sit on whoopee cushions.
