Touche Turtle and Dum Dum 1-Disc Box Set DVD
Touche Turtle and Dum Dum is the early-1960s Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning short series about a swashbuckling green turtle named Touche, his loyal sheepdog companion Dum Dum, and their globe-trotting adventures rescuing damsels, foiling villains, and tilting at every weird threat the writers could dream up. The series aired on ABC and in syndication across 1962 and 1963, with a sprawling short-format run that brought back many of the studio's signature comic touches.
The format is short-form action-comedy: each episode pairs a fresh genre or setting (a whale tale, a missing missile, a haunted castle, an ant invasion) with the duo's running misadventures, holding the show's musketeer-meets-cartoon premise as the engine. Episode titles like "Whale Of A Tale," "Lake Serpent," "Hex Marks The Spot," "Romeo, Touche' And Juliet," and "Hero On The Half Shell" telegraph the show's commitment to genre-pun storytelling. The animation has the unmistakable early-1960s Hanna-Barbera look.
For early-1960s ABC and syndicated programming, this was a piece of the studio's deep run of short-format adventure cartoons, sitting alongside the era's other animal-hero shorts. Suited for fans of vintage Hanna-Barbera, viewers with affection for the era's particular brand of musketeer-meets-cartoon comedy, and anyone curious about the lineage of swashbuckling-turtle storytelling.
Memorable installments include "Whale Of A Tale" (the opener), "Lake Serpent" (an early classic), "Black Is The Knight" (a fan-favorite genre riff), "Romeo, Touche' And Juliet" (a literary swing), and "Peace And Riot" (the closer). This single-disc collection brings 50 episodes of Touche Turtle and Dum Dum into one place, the complete run of the swashbuckler and his sheepdog in one set.
