Warner Brothers recently released the Wally Gator: The Complete Series Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

There's no place like home" is an adage that breezy, affable Wally Gator (voiced by Daws Butler) needs to learn again and again. A true people-person alligator, Wally is driven by his excessive curiosity and his bon vivant inclinations to seek out new experiences beyond the city zoo where he hangs his porkpie hat. Donning a variety of hilarious disguises, Wally escapes the care of dedicated zookeeper Twiddle (voiced by Don Messick) only to end up crying "Oh, fuddle-dee-doo!" as he lands himself in a series of ever more ridiculous (and dangerous!) jams. Whether he's mistaken for a dragon by a clan of medievalist monster fighters, almost ending up as the final ingredient in a witch's magic potion or becoming a stunt gator in Hollywood action pictures, Wally is always relieved when he finally makes his way back to Twiddle and the zoo...only to saunter off the very next day!
