Nightmare Ned
Nightmare Ned is an animated television series which ran from April 19, 1997, to August 9, 1997, on ABC. The show focuses on the life of Ned Needlemeyer (voiced by Courtland Mead), a 10-year-old boy that deals with his daily problems through dark, quirky nightmares. The show was canceled after only 12 episodes were produced due to production difficulties. The show ran over budget and there were creative differences among Donovan Cook, the producer and director of the show, and Walt Dohrn, the creator of the character and also a director of the show. Unlike most Disney animated series, reruns were never aired on Disney Channel or Toon Disney, and the series was never commercially released on home video.
A computer game of the same name was developed alongside the animated series, but was released following the premiere of the series during the same year. Developed by Creative Capers Entertainment and Window Painters Ltd. and published by Disney Interactive Studios, the game was Disney Interactive's first video game release that was developed by a subcontracted developer. The game features Ned traveling through five different adventure portals into nightmare worlds such as The Graveyard, The Alcatraz Elementary School, The Medical Nightmare, The Attic, Basement and Beyond, and The Bathroom. The game was also released in Russia, under the title "Один дома: Ночные кошмарики" ("Odin doma: Nochnye koshmariki"; Russian for "Alone at Home: Nightly Nightmares").
