The Further Adventures of SuperTed was an American/Welsh animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera and Siriol Animation in association with S4C, and continues the adventures of SuperTed. There was only one series consenting of thirteen episodes and originally broadcast on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera in the United States on 31 January 1989. The original SuperTed, created by Mike Young became the first British cartoon series to be aired on The Disney Channel in the United States in 1984. Mike Young moved to the United States to work on more animated series. In 1988 he made a... Superted-sequel-type cartoon called Fantastic Max produced by Hanna-Barbera, who decided to create a new series of SuperTed. This new series takes on a more epic Americanized format, with Texas Pete, Bulk and Skeleton also joined by new villains, the theme song was replaced with a more American overture, and the show poked fun at all aspects of American culture, from the Grand Ol' Opry to Star Wars. Only two of the original cast were used for this new series: Victor Spinetti and Melvyn Hayes returning to voice Texas Pete and Skeleton.
