Fred the Ostrich & His Pals

Fred the Ostrich & His Pals was a popular seven-minute cartoon that was shown on Nickelodeon every weekday from 1999-2006, which would be replaced by the family-oriented "The Fred the Ostrich Show" and it features main characters Fred the Ostrich and Ralph the Bear. Other characters, including the Creeps, Shag, the Ostriches, Alvin, Ed the Janitor, Velma Butterfield, Jerry, Ernie Monster, Donald, etc., would join the cast for the show. According to the creator of the idea, it draws inspiration from and is a parody of a majority of Jim Henson's early work.
