Production

The Country Mouse and the City Mouse Adventures was originally produced as a 26-episode series[1][2] costing US$9 million.[2] Production partners Germany's Ravensburger; Reader's Digest in the United States; and CINAR (now Cookie Jar Group), who contributed US$6 million towards the original project's funding.[2]

The show's main characters first appeared in the 1992 HBO special, The Country Mouse and the City Mouse: A Christmas Tale.[1] It was loosely based on the classic fable by Aesop.

Broadcast

Reruns of the show aired on the Cookie Jar Toons block on This TV until September 23, 2011, and weekend mornings in Ireland on RTE Two's The Den, usually at 7:15 a.m. However, all CINAR references in these broadcasts have been replaced by Cookie Jar references, but when Netflix began to stream season 1-2 on its "watch instantly" streaming service on February 29, 2012, all CINAR references have been restored.

DVD releases

Direct Source released two DVD volumes of the show on February 27, 2007. Season 1 is also available on iTunes.
