Captain Zed and the Zee Zone is a British-American animated series created by Tony Collingwood and produced by DiC animation. It originally aired in 1991 and was 26 episodes-long (made of two 13-episode seasons).
Premise
Captain Z is an agent of the Dream Patrol, part of the Dream Base, an organization that monitors children's dreams when they are asleep at night and makes sure that nightmares do not appear.
Piloting a Dreamship, Captain Z is assisted with his co-pilot P.J. and pet cat Spring.
The Dream Base is run by anthropomorphic sheep, led by the Commander. Most of its architecture, elements, and machine designs are sleep/bed-themed.
Captain Zed also tends to be annoyed by a pretentious and ambitious rival, Captain Flannel.
The main villains are Snort and Mutter, two shapeshifting monsters who want to take over the Dream Base and send nightmares to children's minds.
