User Reviews

Amazing!

I looked this up the other day when I heard the great Peter Ustinov passed away.

I used to get up early to catch Dr. Snuggles when it used to run on Sunday morning. The most tripped out, bizarre cartoon I've ever watched. The animation was crude, the stories borderline ridiculous and the voices magnificent. Imagine if W.C. Fields did his script for Never Give A Sucker An Even Break every week - and you might have an idea of the kind of adventures that Snuggles had each week.

My favorite was when he and Badger had to fly to the other side of the moon to save the local cat hospital.
