Production notes
The Raccoons was a classic 1980s cartoon set in the backdrop of Evergreen Forest. Scheming tycoon Cyril Sneer would regularly attempt to enlarge his fortune, often at the expense of the environment. Luckily, the Raccoons were on hand to thwart him: Bert- the comic one; Ralph- the editor of the local paper; Melissa- Ralph's girlfriend; Cedric Sneer- Cyril's son, and turncoat; plus Schaeffer and Broo- two odd looking sheepdogs.
