Rocky
and the DoDos
(1998-1999)
producers: Cosgrove Hall Films
animation:
stop-motion animation
episodes: 26 x 10mins
Welcome to the isolated island home of Rocky
and his birdbrained pals. Rocky is
a gullible neurotic dodo who cave-shares with
Elvis the cocky crossbreed
(half penguin, half blue-footed booby). These
flightless fools have numerous wild
adventures with their pals Bill, Wonda, Astra
and Tantra...
Two series of this silly show were made, but
alas, Rocky and co. seem to have
flown in under the radar of many toon fans.
Now though, you can track down
these fellows on two handy DVD/video releases...

Now here's ABC with a fine page of RealVideo downloads for several toon
titles. And what do we find in amongst them? - You guessed it, a 'Rocky
And The Dodos' clip. 'Rocky Walks Asleep' has been posted as a 28.8
and a 56.6. Smart stuff. Just make sure you've got the right player, eh?
