Monster Farm


Monster Farm is a horror comedy American animated series from Saban Entertainment that aired on Fox Family in the U.S. and Fox Kids on international broadcasts.
It was created and developed for television by Taylor Grant. Alex Borstein and Steve Marmel were brought in to write some of the episodes and aired on one of the channel's animation blocks for one season, from August 15, 1998 to December 28, 1999.
Ownership of the series was passed on to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also includes Saban Entertainment.
The series is considered lost media due to the lack of home video releases and a small broadcast on television. Worsening the prospect is Disney’s acquisition of Saban Entertainment. Only a minimal number of episodes have resurfaced on YouTube albeit, mostly foreign dubs.
26 episodes were produced, but only half of them aired in the United States.

Plot

The series was about a young man from the city named Jack Haylee and the farm he inherits from his great-uncle Harloff. What he finds when he arrives is a bizarre collection of farm animals. Together, this unlikely menagerie must work to help their new owner save their home from the curiosity-seekers who threaten their wacky world.
