The Last of the Curlews / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: By far, this is one of Hanna-Barbera's darkest materials ever to be produced, especially compared to more Lighter and Softer material such as Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones and so on.

The Last of the Curlews / int_875615dd	comment	Truth in Television: Just like the special says, in real-life the Curlews were once numerous but thanks to unregulated hunting their numbers were so greatly reduced that even by the time protection for the species was put in place it may be too late as there have been no reliable sighting of the species since the 1960â€™s indicating either they are critically endangered if not already extinct.
