All-New Dennis the Menace is an animated series based on the comic strip by Hank Ketcham. It ran in 1993 on CBS, while the 1986 series was still airing in syndication,[5] capitalizing on the success of a live-action film adaptation of the comic strip that was released the same year.[6] The series was produced by DIC Entertainment and Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco. Much like the latter, All-New was sponsored by General Mills.

Background and production

Music

The series' opening theme was adapted from the overture to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro.[7][8] The series' score also consists of classical music adaptations from overtures,[2] such as the one from Gioachino Rossini's The Barber of Seville.

Release

United States

Buena Vista Home Video released two single-episode VHS tapes in 1994, featuring the episodes "It's a Guy Thing" and "Hospitality".

Australia

Roadshow Entertainment released several VHS tapes in Australia in the mid-90s.[9][10][1]

Magna Pacific released all 13 episodes (except "Pig Out" and "Battle of the Bonding") on three separate region 4 DVD volumes in Australia in 2004,[3][11][12][13]

United Kingdom

Anchor Bay UK released a single DVD volume in June 2004, containing the first four episodes of the series. This DVD was reissued under Anchor Bay's "Price Wise" budget DVD imprint in August 2006.

Other media

Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control

In 2002, DIC produced a Television Film as part of their DIC Movie Toons series, titled Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control. It originally premiered on television on Nickelodeon on October 27, 2002,[14][15] and was released on VHS and DVD shortly afterward by MGM Home Entertainment, and later aired internationally on Disney Channel and Toon Disney. Instead of duplicating the look and feel of this show, it harked back instead to the character designs from the better-known 1986 Dennis the Menace series, also produced by DIC. It marks the first Dennis the Menace project released after Hank Ketcham's death on June 1, 2001.
