The Little Adventures of Bruno

The Little Adventures of Bruno is a 2D Mexican-American animated television series serving as a spin-off for the Mexican cartoon series, Bruno and the Banana Bunch. This cartoon aired in Canal 5 on October 9, 2012. The English production was never made until November 28, 2012 where AF The Dubbing House USA sold their rights to HiT Entertainment causing the majority of the anime-voice actors to not return to reprise their roles. Mona Marshall is the only actor from the original series reprising her role. The English version aired on The Hub that same date and Cookie Jar TV is currently airing reruns of the show.

Production
The first season was animated in Flash animation at Mexico where Bruno finally sees the wonderful life of Tangamandapio. Seens from the Fox animated series, Sit Down Shut Up, were used since the characters from the series will be used for the show later on with minor censorship. Music videos also have appeared, called Merrie Melodies, produced by Rough Draft Korea Co., although they rarely appear.

The second season changes animation production to America in Rough Draft Korea Co. since supervising producer Tom Ruegger wanted to make the show more of a homage to Hannah Barbera cartoons from the 1960s. The heavy production and scripts was done in Mexico while the animation was done in America but the lip movements were for the Mexican lines done in style of old-anime cartoons from the 1960s. The show was divided into three segments; the first segment is Bruno, the second segment is the 1990s Secret Squirrel revival and the third segment is reruns of 2 Stupid Dogs. The 2 Stupid Dogs reruns were ommited from The Hub due to copyright reasons. Secret Squirrel and 2 Stupid Dogs were not shown in Mexico until January 2013, dubbed in Spanish. On some occasions, the Bruno segment would either star Don Roman's children (voice of Animaniacs' Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell and Tress MacNeille) or white-blood cell and cold pill Osmosis Jones & Drix Koldriff (voice of Phil LaMarr and Jeff Bennett, replacing Chris Rock and David Pierce respectively).

Plot
Taken place after the series finale of the original series, Bruno moves to Tangamandapio (Upsidedowntown) where he must learn to face off against wacky teachers, mean students, crazy food and weird hijinks.
