The Baby Huey Show is an American animated television series that aired in syndication from 1994 to 1996. The series features the oversized, naive duckling character Baby Huey, who originated in Famous Studios theatrical cartoons in the 1940s and later became a staple of Harvey Comics. The show was produced by Carbunkle Cartoons for Harvey Entertainment and distributed by Claster Television.
Overview
The series typically consisted of new animated segments featuring Baby Huey, often alongside his fox friend, Foxy, or his father, Papa Huey. These new segments were frequently interspersed with classic theatrical shorts from Famous Studios/Harvey Films, sometimes featuring other Harvey characters such as Herman and Katnip or Buzzy the Crow. The new animation style aimed to capture some of the slapstick humor of the original shorts while updating it for a contemporary audience. The show often revolved around Baby Huey's incredible strength, his innocence, and his unwitting ability to cause chaos or inadvertently foil villains.Characters
