Wally Gator is the early-1960s Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning short series about a green alligator who lives in a city zoo and constantly tries to escape, much to the exasperation of his keeper Mr. Twiddle. The series aired on NBC across 1962 and 1963 as part of the broader Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series anthology, with a sprawling 50-episode run.

The format is short-form cartoon comedy: each episode pairs a fresh Wally escape attempt with a fresh small-town misadventure, holding the running tension between the gator's wanderlust and Mr. Twiddle's job security as the engine. Episode titles like "California Or Bust," "Tantalizin' Turnips," "Phantom Alligator," "Camera Shy Guy," and "Ice Charades" telegraph the show's gleeful commitment to gag-driven punny storytelling. The animation has the unmistakable early-1960s Hanna-Barbera look, with limited motion put to expressive use, and the voice work is delivered at full studio tempo.

For early-1960s NBC Saturday morning programming, this was a piece of the studio's deep run of short-format animal-character cartoons, sitting alongside the era's other zoo-and-jungle cartoon stars. Suited for fans of vintage Hanna-Barbera, viewers with affection for the era's particular brand of breakfast-table comedy, and anyone curious about the lineage of escape-prone-cartoon-animal storytelling that the studio loved to revisit.

Memorable installments include "Droopy Dragon" (the opener), "California Or Bust" (a fan-favorite road-trip beat), "Phantom Alligator" (a moodier comedic swing), "Gator Imitator" (a goofier riff), and "Carpet Bragger" (the closing note). This 2-DVD collection brings 50 episodes of Wally Gator into one place, the complete short-format run in one set, ready to revisit on a slow weekend morning.

Stars: Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, Don Messick
