{{no footnotes|date=February 2012}}Chucklewood Critters (also known as Buttons & Rusty) is an American line of television specials and an animated television series created by former Hanna-Barbera animators, Bill Hutten and Tony Love, which centered on two North American woodland animals: Buttons, a young bear cub, and Rusty, a young fox pup. It started as a Christmas special in 1983 called The Christmas Tree Train, followed by eight more holiday/seasonal specials. In 1997 it was developed into a series entitled The New Chucklewood Critters, which ran for two seasons.[1]

Characters

  • Buttons is a brown bear cub who lives in a cave in Chucklewood Park, along with his parents, Bridgette and Abner.
  • Rusty, a red/orange fox pup, and his parents, Rosie and George, live in the same cave as Buttons' family.
  • Ranger Jones, a.k.a. Jonesy, is the park ranger in charge of Chucklewood, and the only regular human character in the series. Ranger Jones is a mentor to Buttons and Rusty.
  • Bearbette and Frisky are a zaftig female grey and yellow bear cub and a slim orange-cream vixen cub, respectively; they were introduced in the Valentine's Day special, Honeybunch. They live in Chucklewood with Bearbette's parents Darwin and Bearnadine; Frisky is an adopted member of the family, and she and Bearbette are Rusty and Buttons’ girlfriends.
  • Skipper and Bluebell are rabbits, introduced in A Chucklewood Easter. They live in an underground warren and bear a bit of a suspicious resemblance to Bugs Bunny.
  • Lester Eli Gator is a Cajun alligator who lives in nearby Crystal Bayou, which is where Bearbette and her family lived before moving to Chucklewood; Lester is a close friend of the family.
  • Franklin the Owl is the cubs' teacher, who sometimes turns into a rap singer to make the lessons more interesting.
  • Freddie the Raccoon who wears a red T-shirt is a friend and classmate of the cubs, introduced in School Daze, who tends to be a troublemaker. He lives with his father, Philbert, who is a carpenter.
  • Turner the Turtle is another friend and classmate of the cubs, who was introduced in What's Up, Mom? and sometimes appears to be wearing a bow tie.
  • Claude the Coyote is a trader who'll stoop to underhanded means to make a deal; he was introduced in the episode An Eye for a Tooth. His voice is modeled after that of W. C. Fields (whose middle name was Claude).
  • Quacker the Duck is a denizen of the forest, who often relays messages for the others. True to his name, he often makes quacking sounds.
  • Skeeter the Mouse who wears a green sweater and a hat is the smallest member of the cast. Because of his size, he is often nervous and high-strung.
