Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures, often abbreviated to just 'Super Alien Hero Buddies', was a popular cartoon series based off of Ben Tennyson's aliens that aired during the Tennyson's Summer Road Trip.[1]:
The show focused around the three heroes, Handy Buddy, Fiery Buddy, and Doggy Buddy (based off of Four Arms, Heatblast, and Wildmutt respectively.), protecting people from "the nefarious deeds of the 'League of Evil Doom Fiends'" -including 'Bowling Ball Bandit', 'Gumdrop Wizard', and 'The Kitty Litterer'.
History
Though claimed to have been initially envisioned by Kane North, Tim Dean -an animator working at Planetary Studios- created the show some point after Ben's aliens became publicly known.
The show had a simplistic art-style, without any outlines, limited colors, and circular/rounded designs for the characters.
Abel North - an actor who previously played the titular character of the show 'Kangaroo Commando'- claimed his show had been cancelled due to 'Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures' "knock[ing] his TV show off the air!".
The show was popular enough to have its own toy line at Planetary Studios, one of which Max Tennyson got for his grand-kids.
During the events of the episode Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures, Ben and Gwen saw the TV Show airing in the RV - later going to the amusement park Planetary Studios during repairs to the RV, to meet with the show's creator Tim Dean over to the likeness between Ben's Aliens and the characters.
During this visit, Ben gets mistaken by Abel North for Tim Dean's puppeteers/animatronics trying to sabotage his 'Kangaroo Commando Stunt Spectacular', and both Ben and Gwen uncover a plot to kill both Abel and Tim by Abel's fame-hungry brother Kane.
After easing tensions between the two, Tim Dean commented that 'Kangaroo Commando' had been "a major influence on [his] career" -- possibly influencing the making of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures.
Trivia
- The art-style of the main cast of aliens-heroes is similar to the flash-animated segments of the Original Series' theme song.
- The style of narration seen in the show is a possible pastiche off of 'The Powerpuff Girls'
- 'Handy Buddy' is voiced by John DiMaggio - who would later go onto voice the real Four Arms in Omniverse.
- Ben remarks that 'Handy Buddy' has a Scottish accent. This may be in reference to John DiMaggio's role from 'Samurai Jack'; 'The Scotsman' - where he does a similar voice for the character.
- Dee Bradley Baker is the only voice actor to play both Ben's alien, and their fictionalised counterpart - being both 'Doggy Buddy' and 'Wildmutt'. While Paul Eiding was the voice for 'Fiery Buddy', instead of Heatblast's voice actor Steve Blum.
