2 | Creator/HannaBarbera produced this early 1980s AnimatedAnthology for Creator/{{CBS}}, headlined by one of the last characters Creator/TexAvery created. Kwicky Koala, voiced by H-B writer Bob Ogle, was a gentle and elusive marsupial, constantly pursued by the perpetually starving Wilford Wolf. |

6 | !!This series provides examples of: |
7 | |
8 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: Kwicky only wears neck wear. |
9 | * AgelessBirthdayEpisode: "Around the World in 80 Seconds" is one with Wilford Wolf celebrating his own birthday trying to catch Kwicky for himself. |
10 | * AlliterativeName: Kwicky Koala and Wilford Wolf. |
11 | * AwkwardFatherSonBondingActivity: This principle is in effect except it's Uncle and Nephew in "Double Trouble". Ruffy wants to be friends with Kwicky, while Wilford wants to teach him to hunt him. |
12 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: At the End of "Kwicky's Karnival Kaper" Wilford sits up in space on a small piece of space rock and tries to bum a ride from a ufo with no need of oxygen. |
13 | * FlashStep: How Kwicky often escapes from danger, accompanied by a beep sound effect. |
14 | * FracturedFairyTale: "In A Pig's Eye" is a very loose example. Wilford wants to eat the three little pigs but Kwicky lives in their house now. But they do show up at the very end. |
15 | * FunnyAnimal: Kwicky and Wilford are both ones. |
16 | * HighKoalatyCuteness The titular marsupial is depicted as innocent, albeit using his surprising speed (setting him from other Koalas) to escape Wilfred Wolf. |
17 | * LaidBackKoala: Kwicky is an inversion as he lives up to his name, being able to move at FlashStep speeds to escape the pursuing Wilford Wolf. |
18 | * ObfuscatingStupidity[=/=]UnknownRival: Kwicky often goes through Wilford's traps, seemingly having no idea that he was in a trap in the first place... except for those moments where he [Kwicky] seems to know but acts like he doesn't to make it easier to trick Wilford. The ambiguity is never resolved. |
19 | * SpeciesSurname: Both Kwicky Koala and Wilford Wolf. |
20 | * TangledFamilyTree: Wilford Wolf meets his nephew Ruffy Wolf. |
21 | * ThreeShorts: Kwicky Koala was the A, ''WesternAnimation/CrazyClaws'' the B and ''WesternAnimation/DirtyDawg'' was the C. ''WesternAnimation/BungleBrothers'' bumpers ran before each. |
22 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Kwicky and his eucalyptus leaves. |
23 | * UnexpectedInheritance: In "Race to Riches", Kwicky receives one from his now deceased Uncle Jeremiah Koala. |
