Fantastic Max
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fantastic Max is an animated cartoon series created by Mike Young. An American/Welsh co-production, the series was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Kalato Ltd in association with S4C. It centers on a diaper-wearing toddler named Max, who has adventures in outer space with two of his toys: FX, a pull string alien doll from a planet called Twinkle-Twinkle and AB Sitter, a C3PO-like android made of blocks.
In the United States, Fantastic Max ran in syndication for two years as part of the weekly Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera program block. The first episode aired on Sunday, September 11, 1988, and the last first-run episode aired on February 1, 1990.

- Bronx - a ringmaster. Only appearance was "Monkey See, Monkey Zoo".
- Goldie - (voiced by Hank Azaria) A space gypsy voiced by Hank Azaria. Only appearance was "All in a Babe's Work". His catchphrase was "Goldie the (laughs) Space Gypsy" and gypsy-style music would play in the background. He is even seen with two other space gypsie subordinates - Cosmo and Gar. Gar's name is only mentioned once by Goldie himself and, apart from only having one scene, where he fires Max and the gang with a gypsy gun filled with whipped cream vermicelli and speaks no lines, is only given a mere background appearance, is only seen for quite a while and is given no development whatsoever.
- Dumping Jack Trash - a garbage man who always spoke in rhyme. Only two appearances in Season 1 were "Attack of the Cubic Rubes" and "Beach Blanket Baby". He was used to replace Texas Pete from Superted when that cartoon phased out in 1988.
- XS - FX's mischievous little cousin who first appeared in "Carrot Encounters of the Third Kind".
