Juniper Jungle

Juniper Jungle is a short-lived cartoon series based on the series of books created by the British comedian Bobby Ball, who also previously created another cartoon Military Style! with ITV in 1990. The series was later dubbed with American accents for the international market, where it aired as Juniper Jungle Adventures.

Plot summary

It is set in a thick jungle where toffees grow. Next to the jungle is the peaceful and fun Juniper village where residents such as Toby the Tortoise, Trevor Tiger, Mervin Monkey, Jock the Croc and Bertie Ball the Policeman live. But their happiness is always disturbed by the schemes of the bad-tempered Miserable Mattress and his gang of Nasties from Swampland, so the residents always have to come up with a clever way to foil them.
