Unlike Jay Ward who did “Rocky & Bullwinkle”, “Dudley Do-Right” and “Fractured Fairy Tales”, a company headed in part by Buck Biggers & Chet Stover, Leonardo/TotalTV, did “Commander McBragg”, along with “Underdog”, “Tennessee Tuxedo” and a few others. Both Ward’s and Leonardo/Total’s productions, though, were bankrolled largely by General Mills, and were animated in Mexico, which often leads to this kind of perception. Another difference? Ward’s voice tracks were done in Hollywood; Leonardo/Total’s were done in New York.
