Toad Patrol is a Canadian animated series created by George and Peggy Sarson. It premiered on October 2, 1999, on Teletoon (now Cartoon Network) in Canada [2] and on September 7, 2002, on Toon Disney.[3]
Although it was aimed at young children,[4] it found a following among preteens, teens and young adults because the fairly youthful and light-hearted appearance of the show enveloped some rather dark undertones and backgrounds.[5] The story was in unofficial development since 1985, officially beginning when the creators started selling Mistle Toad chocolates and cream pops to raise money.[6]
Years later, Toad Patrol was animated in Korea, AKOM (first season) and India, UTV Toons (additional production services, second season only), although much in-betweening was done in Canada at Funbag and Helix studios. It later aired on the French-language Télétoon as La Petite Patrouille,[7] and on the TeleFutura (now UniMás) Spanish-language network[8] as Patrulla de Sapitos. It also aired in Italy on Rai 2 as La pattuglia dei ranocchi.[9]
