Where's Wally? (1991)	comment	Where's Wally (alternatively Where's Waldo? in North America) is an Animated Adaptation of Martin Handford's long-running picture book series of the same name. With Handford serving as series creator and an executive producer, the show was developed by Rowby Goren and produced by DIC Enterprises and The Waldo Film Company. Animation services were done by Sei Young.Much like the books, this series follows the jovial Wally/Waldo (Townsend Coleman) and his fantastical adventures to unique lands. However, the series expands on this concept by adding a narrative to each adventure. Usually tasked by Wizard Whitebeard (Brad Garrett impersonating Rodney Dangerfield), he'd be aided by his friend Wenda, his trusty dog Woof and his magic cane to help the locals with their problems any way he can, or solve a mystery. Unbeknownst to the wanderer, his nemesis Oldaw (Julian Holloway) would use this opportunity to try and steal his magic cane for his own misdeeds. Throughout the episode, the witty narrator (Jim Cummings) would commentate on the events.Twice per episode, the show stops a scene to give viewers a minute to locate Wally/Waldo - a manner similar to widespread pages of the books.The series originally aired on CBS in the United States. With a total of 13 episodes, the series lasted from September 14 to December 14, 1991, for one season. Nickelodeon eventually aired reruns. The United Kingdom also aired the series through ITV. After being cancelled, four new episodes were released straight-to-video in 1992, albeit with all voice actors except Holloway recast. While formatted similarly, the puzzles and games made use of the pause & rewind functionalities of VHS tapes to give viewers more time or look for extra hidden items.

Where's Wally? (1991) / int_1667cb1	comment	Calvinball: The eponymous "Great Ball Game" which sees four teams playing two matches on the same pitch, doesn't appear to have any rules other than you get points to getting it across (or over) the goal-line and you lose points by having your ball thrown into a pit. Throughout the episode, we get glimpses of the other games in the kingdom that make just about as much sense (throwing darts blindfolded in an attempt to hit bowling balls while another player uses a baseball bat to knock them away springs to mind).

The closest Waldo comes to seeing Odlaw is at the end of Around the World in a Daze, where they're on-screen at the same time, though Waldo is part of a Living Photo with Wenda and Woof and isn't looking directly at Odlaw, who is outside of the photo.

Where's Wally? (1991) / int_2969dda7	comment	Nightmare Fetishist: Waldo smiles constantly while watching others get pummeled or is in danger of a pummeling himself (said eagerly: "Who's the menacing fellow who looks as if he'd like to twist me into a knot and throw me off a cliff?"), is excited to be standing in front of an angry stampede, be attacked by monsters, be tied up in chains, be taken prisoner ("Wow, Woof, didjya hear that? We're official prisoners!"), hop into a dangerous pit of doom (shaking bag and smiling: "Well, Woof, apparently I didn't bring my parachute."), and is nothing short of thrilled to be in a cave-in. ("Wow, Woof! It's a real cave-in! And we've only been here just a few minutes! (elated sigh) How lucky can you get?") Seriously, how did Woof survive being around this guy?

His only problem is that he doesn't seem to learn that he's the Cosmic Plaything. Waldo himself gets in on this sometimes; in one episode, the narrator was saying a lot of gibberish, and Waldo tells him he may be holding the script upside down.
