Wuzzles Coloring Pages

The Wuzzles stars a mixture of short, rounded animal types (each called a Wuzzle). Each is a roughly even, and coloured, mix of two unlike animal species (as the theme song mentions, “…livin’ with a split personality”), and all the characters sport wings on their backs. All of the Wuzzles live on the Isle of Wuz. Double species are not limited to the Wuzzles themselves. From the appleberries they eat to the telephonograph in the home, nearly everything on Wuz is mixed together in the same way the Wuzzles are.

The parts in the show were marketed extensively. The characters were boasted in children’s books, as poseable figures and plush toys (similar to Care Bears), and in a panel game.

Disney premiered 2 animated series on the same day, The Wuzzles and Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears, but on different networks. The Wuzzles was on CBS, and Gummi Bears was on NBC. Although Gummi Bears was a successful series, The Wuzzles was not, at least in the US. However, it does have a fan base today. It was a much bigger success in the United Kingdom where it pilot episode aired as a theatrical featurette. In the United Kingdom, The Wuzzles and Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears were originally screened on the same network (ITV) in 1985/1986, therefore both series enjoyed high popularity, and The Wuzzles was also repeated on the BBC network in 1987.

Reruns of the show were aired on both Disney Channel and Toon Disney.
