Fender Bender 500 is a series of cartoon shorts featuring iconic Hanna-Barbera characters racing each other in monster trucks; it's a 1990s update of the classic Wacky Races series from 1968 [1]. It is historically significant as it would be the last time that Top Cat and Dick Dastardly would be voiced by the original actors, Arnold Stang[2] and Paul Winchell[3], before their passing.
Release History[edit | edit source]
It was originally broadcast as a segment of Wake, Rattle and Roll[4], a Hanna-Barbera produced live-action children's show. The first season was aired in syndication and then afterward moved to the Disney Channel and re-named Jump, Rattle and Roll[5]. The Fender Bender 500 segments also aired as part of TV Mayhem in the UK[6].
The only home video release was in Japan where the entire series was released on both VHS[7] and Laserdisc in six volumes.[8] [9]Volume 3 appeared on YouTube, without English titles, in March 2020[10]. The English language version of most episodes, along with the other five Japanese volumes, are currently considered lost.
Availability[edit | edit source]
Out of the 50 episodes made for the series, 16 have currently been found in English, and 7 have been found in Japanese. All of the current found episodes are also located on a MEGA drive.[11]
