Crocadoo

Crocadoo is an Australian animated series produced by Energee Entertainment and the Nine Network from 1996 to 1998. It follows the adventures of a group of blue crocodiles trying to protect their riverbank from a mad developer. Crocadoo was Energee Entertainment's first original series, its first season being digitally colored and composited with Apple computers running Adobe, Linker Systems and COSA software. The first season's 3D backgrounds (Hotel, hotel interiors) were created using SGI Power Animator. Halfway through the first series, beginning with "Watch out for the Wonglebacks", some character animation was outsourced to Vietnam. Crocadoo ' s second season utilized Energee Entertainment's own CECAPS computer paint software.

Currently, the show is part of the Your Family Entertainment catalog and continues to air on their television networks worldwide.

 * Brian (voiced by Dave Gibson): A purple, muscular, male croc who is Jazz's brother. He is usually hungry and lazy and easily gets confused, but is nice and friendly most of the time, unless if Jazz messes around with him.
 * Rufus B. Hardacre (voiced by Tony Barry): The main antagonist of the show. A greedy hotel manager who hates crocodiles and plans to get rid of them to pave way for his new hotel development. He even hates his guests and only cares about his money.
