The Fat Crat

The Fat Crat is a Jetanie television series created by Youngvision. The show focuses on the Fat Crat. One of the last of his kind, the Fat Crat is a big blue creature with a dog-like face, which has a hamster-like body. He has no arms or legs, so moves about by hopping about the place.

Each episode of the show focuses on the Fat Crat exploring a certain country or region and learning about its culture. The Fat Crat is sometimes followed by one of the show's recurring characters; his son, Crat Jr., his spider pet, Creeper and his niece, Kitty Crat.

The Crat characters don't speak; most of the story is narrated by Amrit Freeland, whilst most of the minor characters speak a few lines.

According to Freeland, it had the lowest budget of all Youngvision-produced shows.
