[edit] Characters (and voices)
[edit] The miniature animals
- Stu (Michael Donovan), a dog who loves to eat, and wears a backward cap.
- Chloe (Babs Chula), a cat who can channel her own past lives; she most frequently channels the one in which she was the pet of a rock singer named Little Hopper (an obvious parody of Little Richard.)
- Viv (Lynda Boyd), a pink rabbit with blonde hair who loves to sing and dance; she wears a magic-satchel-like top hat, inside of which lives a three-piece rodent band.
- Chet (Lee Tockar), a horse who's proud of his muscles and who sees himself as the toughest member of the group.
- Squeaks (Tel Cole), a monkey who loves to eat bananas, and who makes noises with his mouth instead of speaking.
[edit] Other regular characters
- Elwood Harvey (Ian James Corlett), the human owner of the pet shop. He looks after all the animals, although he can't understand them; their speech only sounds like animal noises to his ears. His name and face are most likely inspired by the movie Harvey.
- Mumsy, Elwood's globe-trotting mother who often sends unusual animals and relics to her son.
- Delilah (Shirley Milliner), Elwood's pet monitor lizard who keeps trying to eat the other animals when her owner isn't looking. Her voice is modeled after Zsa Zsa Gabor's.
- Harriet, a parrot who's a close friend of the miniature animals and often gets caught up in their adventures.
- Sarge (Gary Chalk), a military-minded hamster who commands all the other hamsters. His name is from the diminutive of "sergeant".
- Rookie (Sarah Strange), one of the hamsters under Sarge's command.
[edit] Notable one-time characters
- Sabrina, Chloe's identical twin sister and a born troublemaker.
- Wolfie, a miniature wolf who's a sort of reverse-werewolf; under the full moon, he becomes a miniature, crotchety old man.
- Morty (Rob Paulsen), an endangered miniature white tiger whose loneliness has made him a little crazy.
[edit] Availability
This show was seen in syndication and several VHS videocassettes were released, along with a Christmas video. So far, the series has not been released on DVD.
[edit] Toys
The television show was based on a popular line of Kenner toys, although it bore little or no resemblence to them beyond the name. In 2005, Hasbro toys introduced a redesigned version of the toy line in the United States.
