Wikipedia article
'Muzzy in Gondoland' (often shortened to simply 'Muzzy') is a British animated television film, first created by the BBC in 1986, as a way of teaching English as a second language. The English version of 'Muzzy' features the voices of Willie Rushton, Miriam Margolyes, Susan Sheridan, Derek Griffiths, Jack May, and Benjamin Whitrow. DMP Organization later acquired the rights to 'Muzzy' and translated it into other languages (see below). It is unknown, however, who plays whom in the various dubbed versions of the film.
A sequel, 'Muzzy Comes Back', was released in 1989.
Digital Education has developed a new version of the course, which was released in 2013.
