Production notes

Hector is a scientist who builds himself a time machine. He goes back in time and experiences (and screws up!) many important historical events.

This television series combined the initial run of Hector Heathcote cartoons from the theatrical run with 15 newly produced shorts for the Sidney segment on "The Hector Heathcote Show".
