Toonhound - Zot the Dog (1996)

    "Zot the Dog! - Zot the dog!
    My old chum..."

    He's not Spot, he's Zot. And he's a dog. And just in case we aren't sure, the
    deliriously reptetitive title song for this series states the fact, over and over.
    We're also told that he's his owner's best friend, and we're posed some
    questions. What on earth goes on in Zot's head all day, and does he
    really understand a word that's said to him?

    Well, there's our cue to find out, because as he and Clive roam around
    we get to see just what's going on, via that handy old cartoon tool, the thought
    bubble. When Zot goes in to thinking mode, up comes his a bubble to show
    us exactly what's he's pondering, and it goes without saying, Zot's isn't really
    on the same wavelength as his master at all!



    Zot the Dog is based on the popular books by Ivan Jones and nimbly animated
    by Mark Mason and the team at Fat City Films. And whilst dotty Zot has no
    voice, all the other animals they encounter, like Mr Rat and Mr Mole, can
    converse quite ably, thanks to comedian Phil Cool - he being famous for
    utilising his rather versatile facial features in his stage routines.

   » Ivan Jones has also brought us the Ghost Hunter books, published by
       Scholastic and adapted into a spooky tv series by the BBC.

   » If the character designs look familiar, that's because Mark Mason and
       Fat City Films previously worked together on that top-hopping toon,
       Philbert Frog.

   » And director Francis Vose has an extensive animation CV that includes
      production and direction credits on such Cosgrove Hall classics as
      The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, Oh! Mr Toad!, Little Robots,
      Rupert Bear: Follow the Magic and many more...
