The Wyatt Family

The Wyatt Family is a 1969 American animated TV movie first broadcast on CBS on September 13, 1969, with the voices of Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderet, Nicole Jaffe, Richard Pryor, Diahann Carroll, and Buster Jones. The film focuses on Daniel Wyatt and his new family who move into a new town and are considered outcasts where they got to learn how to fit in. Originally, the film was expected to be a standalone film until the film garnered high enough ratings to spawn a franchise including 4 specials which were Daniel's Bad Hair Day (1970), A Wyatt Halloween Special (1971), The Wyatt and the Horrible Thanksgiving (1972), and How to Find a Wyatt (1973), a long running TV series based on the film, as well as various theatrical films.

Production
Coming soon! Bea Benaderet was picked as the voice actress for Susan Wyatt, Josie Banks, Muriel Jones, Officer Jenni Brown, among others in which her interpretation of these characters were similar to her successors but died a year before the film's broadcast due to it being delayed after issues in production which would subsequently make this film the only production in the franchise that has her voicing these characters while Mel Blanc voiced all the male members of the Wyatt family as well as voicing Carl Wickerson, Billie Dooberson, Devin Silverman and Jasper instead of their normal voice actors Michael Bell and Gary Owens which he would later replace the latter in the series after 2 seasons. Blanc used a deeper and more dopey version of his Bugs Bunny voice for Daniel, Marty was more higher pitched even though it was more similar to his Daffy Duck voice without a lisp, Alex's voice was more or less the same, and Jeff's was more slower.
