Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars (Also known as Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Menace in Canada) is a French-American animated series created by Sunbow Productions, Marvel Productions, Abrams/Gentile Entertainment, Continuity Comics and the French company IDDH and distributed by Hasbro's subsidiary Claster Television. It was based on the cult comic Bucky O'Hare. Animated by AKOM, the show is remembered for its distinctive and popular theme tune.

It debuted in 1991 in the UK on the BBC, as well as in the United States.

Most of the ideas from the comic book were used for the cartoon, with three major differences: Bruce is transported into another dimension instead of killed, Willy can travel freely between Earth and the aniverse, and the omnipotent mouse is nowhere to be seen. The cartoon explored more of the aniverse and followed a loose unifying arc, with Bucky's home planet of Warren being captured by the toads in the season premiere and rescued in the finale (which was co-written by Neal Adams).

Bucky and his gang are members of the S.P.A.C.E organization, which stands for Sentient Protoplasm Against Colonial Encroachment.

The members of the Toad Empire introduced are as follows:

Almost all the characters listed above are both from the comic book and the cartoon. Most of the new ones that were introduced are listed below.
