Time to go across the pond for our next entry.
The first remembrance I have of Doctor Snuggles was that it'd been imported to the US by one of the pay-cable channels in the early 80's. The series had launched in 1979 as a co-production between Dutch & British animation houses until a strike, either in the UK or the Netherlands, forced outsourcing of the animation to Korea and the US (DePatie-Freleng handled the final 6 episodes).
Peter Ustinov voiced the title character, and also served as narrator. Ustinov was no stranger to cartoons having narrated the Babar cartoons.
Following is a sample episode.
No rating. Just a public service.
