It focuses on a trio of aliens disguised as a duck, horse, and a rabbit who befriend a human. The trio go on various adventures on Earth and learns more about humanity and life on earth. An anime adaptation of the manga started airing on Japanese and American television in 1965. While the Japanese version of the anime can still be found on the Internet and found in it's original form in Japan. The American dub is very hard to find and is rumoured to be destroyed. The last time the English dub of the anime was ever aired and seen on American Television was during the 1970s on Kcop-TV as reruns. A few episodes of the English dub were uploaded to YouTube sometime in 2013 or 2014 but later got removed most likely due to copyright infringement.

For a period, the only known evidence of the English Dub's existence was a video that was uploaded to Youtube on January 13, 2013 titled "Captain Bunny's Greetings" uploaded by Youtube user "unclesporkums". The video contained a two second audio clip of the character Bokko (Called Bunny aka "Captain Bunny" in the English dub) giving a greeting to the viewer ("Hi, this is Captain Bunny."). The audio itself is from an unknown old website that might no longer exists according to the uploader. The video description did mention that it might be an unknown impersonator of Corrine Orr (English voice of Bokko) but is difficult to tell due to the poor audio quality. The video later got deleted at an unknown time.
