Does anyone remember this short-lived Disney cartoon? I had no idea that when it first came out it competed against fellow Disney cartoon The Gummi Bears in the same timeslot.

Of course. I had the hippo weird flying girly thing and my sister had the weird lion monkey thing. I think thats what they were.

That's correct. In fact, THE WUZZLES debuted on the same exact date--
Sept. 14, 1985--as Disney's GUMMI BEARS (as well as the same time slot).
But GUMMI BEARS lasted three years longer. THE WUZZLES did have an
interesting cast of voices, including two LAUGH-IN alumni (Henry Gibson and
Jo Anne Worley). It was narrated by veteran humorist Stan Freberg. The
Wuzzles did accomplish one thing the Gummi Bears never did: they appeared
in Gladstone's comic book WALT DISNEY'S COMICS & STORIES.
