The All-New Dennis the Menace

The All-New Dennis the Menace is an animated series based on the comic strip by Hank Ketcham that aired from September 18 to December 11, 1993 on CBS (while the 1986 series was still airing in syndication).
It capitalizes on the success of a live-action film adaptation of the comic strip, released in 1993.
Produced by DIC Entertainment and Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco, it, like the latter, was sponsored by General Mills.

Other media
Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control
In 2002, DIC produced a Television Film as part of their DIC Movie Toons series, titled Dennis the Menace: Cruise Control. It originally premiered on television on Nickelodeon on October 27, 2002, and was released on VHS and DVD shortly afterward by MGM Home Entertainment, and later aired internationally on Disney Channel and Toon Disney. Instead of duplicating the look and feel of this show, it harked back instead to the character designs from the better-known 1986 Dennis the Menace series, also produced by DIC. It marks the first Dennis the Menace project released after Hank Ketcham's death on June 1, 2001.
