Nightmare Ned is an American animated television series which ran from April 19 to July 5, 1997, on ABC. The show was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and Creative Capers Entertainment, and created by Terry Shakespeare, G. Sue Shakespeare, and David Molina of Creative Capers Entertainment. The show was based on and developed alongside the computer game of the same name, however, the show ended up being completed before the video game was released.The show focuses on the life of Ned Needlemeyer (voiced by Courtland Mead), an 8-year-old boy who deals with his daily problems through dark yet quirky nightmares.The show received mixed reviews from critics. The Chicago Tribune praised the show's art style but was critical of its subject matter. Similarly, Screen Rant described the show as "dark and even disturbing" and "mainly an excuse for Disney animators to show off their strange side". However, the show did receive praise from TV Guide. The show only aired once and was never re-released, being described as a "great oddity of the Disney Studio's television output" which was "largely disowned".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 nor streamed on Disney+. As of June 2019, though, all episodes have been found by third parties and unofficially uploaded to YouTube.
