Description:  The Nutty Squirrels Present was a 1960 American animated series that served as a host for imported European cartoons, which were edited, redubbed with English dialogue, and given new soundtracks. The series was inspired by the 1959 novelty hit "Uh! Oh!" by the jazz virtual band The Nutty Squirrels. The show featured animated bumpers with the Nutty Squirrels characters, with the rest of each episode being foreign cartoons.

Format: The show was formatted as 30-minute episodes, but each contained a collection of about 150 six-minute shorts.

Source material: The actual cartoons were purchased from other countries by Flamingo Telefilm Sales and then edited and dubbed for American audiences.

Original intent: This method allowed the production company to create a weekly series without the expense of animating full-length cartoons.
