Funny Bunny the Wacky Afavtyrue of Ronald Mcdonald

The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald is a children's direct-to-video series of seventeen 40-minute animated features produced by CINAR Corporation (1996-2004) and Wild Brain Productions (1997-2000) in association with the McDonald's Corporation and DKP Productions/Studios (2004-2007) from October 9, 1996 to January 30, 2007, centering on McDonald's corporate mascot Ronald McDonald and his friends in McDonaldland.

Overview

Although the series is "free-standing", ongoing artistic influences can be inferred from the way certain characters were drawn for animation similar to the animation from fellow Klasky Csupo series Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys and Rocket Power. For example, the character Birdie shares certain aspects of grooming and costume with Eliza Thornberry and Lil DeVille while her pigtails are reminiscent of Angelica Pickles (albeit dark brown rather than blonde) and the rendition and bearing of the Hamburglar, reminiscent of Darwin and of Chuckie Finster, may have been an influence on the design of Otto Rocket. Grimace, however has no change, but his personality is similar to Chuckie Finster. Elements of early K-C "house style" are also very evident on other supporting characters like Sundae the dog and the Chicken McNuggets. Iam Hungry appeared in one part of the episode "Visitors from Outer Space". Also, Mayor McCheese made an appearance in the final two episodes.

A new character named Franklin was also introduced in the first episode "Scared Silly" as the son of Dr. Quizzical (a scientist who was the inventor of Hamburglar's "Quizzical Bear Call" that was seen earlier in that one episode). Tika was also included as a human sidekick to Ronald McDonald in the first and fourth episodes. In "Scared Silly" and "The Monster O' McDonaldland Loch" Ronald is seen driving a sarcastic anthropomorphic car called the McSplorer.

Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, best known for composing the music of Rugrats (another Klasky Csupo series), composed the music of the series. John Holmquist, who has directed some Rugrats episodes, directed all six episodes of the series. The artistic style of the series has a similar look to Rugrats and Rocket Power. Interestingly, the background music was recycled from later episodes of Rugrats.

By various accounts, the titles turned out to be rather popular, and individual McDonald's locations frequently ran out of tapes which were sold individually for $3.49 and could be bought with a small vanilla ice cream cone or a small Diet Coke. Klasky Csupo therefore agreed to carry them for direct sale at their online gift shop which closed in the fall of 2005.

Preceding the series was a 30-minute animated special from Hi-Tops Video titled The Adventures of Ronald McDonald: McTreasure Island, released on February 7, 1990 on VHS. The animation was not in the Klasky Csupo style but rather in the style of the costumed live action characters and other company artwork. DiC Entertainment animated the special that year, which featured an appearance by older McDonald's character Captain Crook.

In 1999 a Happy Meal was released at the restaurant chain featuring Lego vehicles for children to build. The front of each vehicle had an image of one of the McDonaldland characters in the Klasky Csupo style as depicted in the series.
