Toad Patrol is a Canadian animated series created by George and Peggy Sarson. It premiered on October 2, 1999, on Teletoon and on September 7, 2002, on Toon Disney. Although it was aimed at young children, it found a following among pre-teens, teens and young adults because the fairly youthful and lighthearted appearance of the show enveloped some rather dark undertones and backgrounds. The story was in unofficial development since 1985, officially beginning when the creators started selling Mistle Toad chocolates and cream pops to raise money.
