Production notes

This series is about a group of animals (The Bluffers) who live in the last remaining patch of forest in the otherwise barren land of Bluffoonia. Clandestino, the greedy human tyrant, wants to wipe out their forest and to protect his "Secret of Getting it All," which he keeps in his castle. Sillycone is his robot butler, and Glum is his disgruntled watchdog. Zock (short for Zocrates) is a wise old owl in a toga and the keeper of the Book of All Knowledge; Blossom is Zipper's girlfriend; Ginseng specializes in homemade remedies; Prickly Pine is always ready for a fight, while the military-minded Regal Eagle shows a lot more self-control; the crafty Sharpie is a direct contrast to the simple-minded Honey Boy; and Psycho has limited psychic abilities (e.g., he can be used as a metal detector).

Each episode has two musical numbers.
