Description:  Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch is a 1974 Hanna-Barbera cartoon about an anthropomorphic VW Beetle named Wheelie who is constantly pursued by a menacing motorcycle gang called the Chopper Bunch. The show, which aired on NBC, is set in a world of living vehicles and features Wheelie using his wits and ingenuity to thwart the Chopper Bunch's attempts to cause him trouble. A unique aspect of the show was that Wheelie could not speak, communicating only through honks and a windshield that displayed symbols like hearts or lightbulbs.

Protagonists: Wheelie, a heroic red Volkswagen Beetle, and his girlfriend Rota Ree.

Antagonists: The Chopper Bunch, a four-member motorcycle gang that harasses Wheelie in every episode.

Plot: The Chopper Bunch tries to outsmart and cause trouble for Wheelie, but they always fail.

Communication: Wheelie communicates through car sounds like honking and symbols displayed on his windshield, while the other characters can talk.

Unique feature: This was the only Hanna-Barbera series to completely exclude human or animal characters, focusing solely on anthropomorphic vehicles.
