Animation - Wacky Races TV Series (1968-69)
Wacky Races is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera.[1] The series features 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies throughout North America,[2] with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer." Wacky Races ran on CBS from September 14, 1968 to January 4, 1969. Seventeen episodes were produced, with each episode featuring two different races, for a total of 34 races in all.
The cartoon was unusual in the large number of regular characters, twenty-four in total: the twenty-three people and animals spread among the 11 race cars, plus the unseen (and never identified) race announcer. Another unusual feature of the series was that the stars of the show are the villains as opposed to the heroes. Reruns of the series currently air several times a day on Cartoon Network's classic animation network Boomerang.
Animation - Mr Men (1975)
Mr. Men is a series of 48 children's books (of which two were not published in English) by Roger Hargreaves commencing in 1971. The series features characters with names such as "Mr. Tickle" and "Mr. Happy" who have personalities based on their names. From 1981, an accompanying series of 42 Little Miss books by the same author, but with female characters, was published (though nine were not published in English). After Hargreaves's death in 1988, his son Adam Hargreaves began writing and illustrating new stories. These included four characters that R. Hargreaves had developed before his death.
