Beano Video
The Beano Video (or Beano All-Stars for DVD releases) is a VHS video of the Beano originally released by PolyGram Video in 1993. It marked not just the first animated release by the Beano, but also 55 years of the hugely successful children's comic that has spanned many generations. It was later re-released in DVD more than 10 years later, by then known as Beano All-Stars. The video is also the first animated appearance for characters like Dennis, Gnasher, Minnie, The Bash Street Kids and The Three Bears.
It features voices by Susan Sheridan, Gary Martin, Enn Reitel, Kate Robbins and Jonathan Kydd. Gary Martin later appears in the 1996-98 TV series adaptation of Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, as does Jonathan Kydd.[1]
A sequel to this video was made, in 1994, dubbed the Beano Videostars, and featuring an expanded list of characters.
