Revision as of 01:09, 7 September 2023
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
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.
On May 1+2 of 2023, Youtube user RailRon has found a whopping 32 episodes in the Japanese Dub
Availability
Out of the 50 episodes made for the series, 16 have currently been found in English, and 39 have been found in Japanese. All of the current found episodes are also located on a MEGA drive.[11]
