SuperTed is a Welsh language superhero animated television series about an anthropomorphic teddy bear with superpowers, created by writer and animator Mike Young. Originally created by him as a series of stories to help his son overcome his fear of the dark, SuperTed became a popular series of books and led to an animated series produced from 1982 to 1986.[2] An American-produced series, The Further Adventures of SuperTed, was produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1989. The series was the first British animation acquired by the American based Disney Channel.[3]
