Production notes

Cambria continued the use of their patented Synchro-Vox™ system (developed by Edwin Gillette for "talking animal" commercials in the 1950's) with this cartoon. The Synchro-Vox systems combined still animation cels of the characters and live actor's lips superimposed over the characters heads to make the "animation." Producer Clark Haas referred to Cambria's process of limited animation as "motorized movement." Cardboard cutouts of the character sometimes would be moved by hand past the background. To produce Synchro-Vox, the voice actor would be filmed in closeup, with a mask hiding everything but the actor's lips. Heavy makeup was used to ensure that the actors' skin color matched that of the cartoon characters

When in action, rather than animate the character, the cels were shaken, or the camera zoomed to simulate the motion.

Filmed in "Superanivision."

Unlike other Cambria series, this Synchro-Vox system allowed the characters to move occasionally.

This series was later played on Capt'n Sailor Bird, an afternoon kids' show.
