Dumb and Dumber (also known as Dumb and Dumber: The Animated Series) is an animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera and New Line Television for ABC. It is based on the 1994 comedy film of the same name. It premiered in October 1995, making it the last Hanna-Barbera show to air on a television channel other than Cartoon Network.[1]

Matt Frewer provided the voice of Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey's character in the film), while Bill Fagerbakke voiced the character of Harry Dunn (Jeff Daniels' character in the movie). The animated series was written by Bennett Yellin, co-writer of the original film. The series was cancelled after one season.[2]

Dumb and Dumber was one of three animated series based on Jim Carrey films premiering in the same year; the others are the 1995–2000 Ace Ventura: Pet Detective series, and the 1995–1997 The Mask: Animated Series.[3]
