Since the folks over at The Digital Bits have spilled the beans over in their
Rumor Mill section, we're finally free to pass this along to our readers:
Wacky Races is coming to DVD, as part of the Hanna Barbera Collection from Warner Home Video.
For those of you who forget, the animated series came out in the late 60's and featured 10 cars in a crazy cross-country race in different parts of the world (Mississippi, the Baja, etc.):
- #1: The Slag Brothers in the Boulder Mobile
- #2: The Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe
- #3: Prof. Pat Pending in the Convert-a-Car
- #4: The Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer
- #5: Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat
- #6: Sarge & Pvt. Pinkley in the Army Surplus Special
- #7: The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb
- #8: Luke & Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chugabug
- #9: Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific
- #10: Rufus Ruffcut & Sawtooth in the Buzzwagon
- #00: Dick Dastardly & Muttley in The Mean Machine
Penelope Pitstop was seen in her own series, and Dick Dastardly & Muttley found separate stardom in those infamous "stop the pigeon" cartoons.
These should make it out sometime in 2004, but other than that we have no further details at this time. Stay tuned, and we'll let you know...now that the secret's out!
By-the-way, pat yourself on the back if you picked up on the hints we've dropped for a while now, especially
the one in this mid-April post!
Note: we don't know either way about more
Flintstones yet, so stay tuned about that.
