Revision as of 21:48, 20 November 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 commercial home video release was in Japan where the entire series was released on both VHS[7] and Laserdisc in six volumes.[8] [9] Four of these volumes were preserved by YouTube user RailRon [10]. The majority of the English language episodes are currently considered lost media.
Availability
Out of the 50 episodes produced 18 have currently been found in English [11] and 32 episodes have been found in Japanese [10] Currently six episodes are unavailable publicly in any language.
In May 2021, a folder containing all episodes available at the time, was uploaded to Mega.[12]
