Marsupilami (TV series)edit
From The Unofficial DisneyWiki
Marsupilami is a fictional animal which first appeared in the Belgian comic book,Spirou in 1952. He was created by André Franquin. Disney's version of the marsupilami first appeared on television in Raw Toonage in 1992, and was then spun off into his own eponymous show on the NBC network. Marsupilami's supporting characters included Maurice the Gorilla, Stewart the Elephant, Eduardo the Leopard, Norman the Poacher, Leonardo the Lion and other characters. The original Marsupilami stories by André Franquin never encountered a gorilla or elephant, since these species are native to Africa, while the marsupilami originates from South Africa.
There were thirteen episodes in the series, and the series lasted one season. Reruns of the show were aired on both Disney Channel as part of Disney Afternoon and Toon Disney.
