“You’ve got to be kidding me, this is not a mall! Malls have stores and movie theaters and food courts! Not filthy animals bathing in their own drinking water!”
On August 21, 2004, the first four episodes of the Disney Channel Original Series Brandy & Mr. Whiskers premiered. The show was about a dog named Brandy Harrington (voiced by Kaley Cuoco) and a rabbit named Mr. Whiskers (voiced by Charlie Adler), and their adventures in the Amazon rainforest. Although their personalities are miles apart, the two have to work together to survive in the rainforest, which is alien territory to them both. The show lasted only two seasons, and has not been released on DVD.
The first half of the pilot episode, “Mr. Whisker’s First Friend,” has Brandy and Mr. Whiskers meeting on an airplane flying over the Amazon rainforest. When Brandy asks Mr. Whiskers to turn on the light so she can read a magazine, he accidentally pulls the emergency escape hatch in the cargo hold, and the two fall into the rainforest. Brandy, angered by this turn of events, trades Mr. Whiskers for a map to help her escape, but in the end, she gets Mr. Whiskers back, and the two build a treehouse. The second half, “The Babysitter’s Flub,” finds Brandy and Mr. Whiskers babysitting Mama Crock’s eggs. The other episodes shown were “Cyranosaurus Rex/To The Moon, Whiskers,” “Lack of Brains vs. Brawns/The No Sleep Over,” and “The Fashion Fascist/Happy Birthdays.”
