Obscure Animation Subject #133: Teacher's Pet

Here’s another cult classic from DTA! Created by Gary Baseman, Bill Steinkellner and Cheri Steinkellner, the series is about a 9-year old boy named Leonard Helperman, whose mother is a teacher and gets mocked as a “teacher’s pet”. Meanwhile his anthropomorphic talking dog Spot who misses Leonard when he’s at school, so he decided to wish becoming a real “boy”, like a human boy, and wears clothes while getting a new name Scott Leadready II, who becomes the most popular influencer in school. Although Leonard was mad when funding out Spot’s secret, he accepts his decision, continuing him to allow attending school.

A simple premise in all, but the execution makes it more special than what is seen in the outside. The animation is fluid, stretchy, and just really great overall. The show was co-created by Gary Baseman, a persuasive artist and you can see his unique style in his own series. I also love the voice-acting, everyone feels spot-on for their role especially Nathan Lane as Spot. Because of everyone getting so into it, it makes the joke deliveries, even the simple one liners much more impactful. Even besides the funny dialogue, the show has hilarious visuals and absurdity.

I just love these characters. Principal Strickler, Ian Wazselewski, Mary Lou Helperman, and honestly most of the other main and secondary characters have tons of great moments but my favorite is actually Spot. He’s enthusiastic and intelligent for a dog, but also really melodramatic. Everyone had great jokes that made me laugh but Spot had my favorite jokes. I especially love it when he’s empowering his classmates and turns the plot into a social commentary. The stories in this show could either be that, or just a full on gag-driven episode, most episodes end up on a life lesson that fits the story whether it’s a subtle message or not.

Oh yeah, and my favorite content from this series is actually the 2004 theatrical film. Yes you heard that right, a theatrical film. I suppose the show did win some Emmy awards and it used to be a trend for animated cartoons having their own theatrical movie. It just feels funny that Teacher’s Pet of all things got this treatment. Anyway, I adore this movie. It’s part road trip movie but mainly a spoof on Pinocchio. Spot finally becomes a real boy… kinda, and Leonard has mixed thoughts. While in the series he was acting supportive with Spot wanting to be a human, he didn’t know that scenario could actually be real. The movie has a silly yet interesting conflict, and it's a musical! Tons of songs and their reat. This movie still has the same great humor and animation as in the show, but now with a bigger upgrade for the big screen and possibly more insane than ever! The story is fun and the villain is amazing, he’s voiced by Kelsey Grammer! This serves as a wonderful Teacher’s Pet finale, just incredible.

Love the characters, fast energy, and the comedy. It's weird, distorted, off the walls-insane, something that feels like it would've come from one of Nickelodeon's bizarre cartoons, in a good way! Lasted 2 seasons and a movie and honestly that was enough for this series, it's one-of-a-kind.

I obtained quite the grail on Ebay!

This is a plush of Scott Leadready II. The main character of Disney’s Teacher’s Pet. One of my favorite Disney animated shows ever since i was a kid. This plush was never mass produced or sold. It was giving out to media outlets to promote the show (or possibly the movie, or even both). I’ve only found a couple of people who have one of these, and have only ever seen two go up for sale. And that second time, i went for it, and it is mine!

The detail on this is incredible. Unbelievably screen accurate in the stitching and colors. It’s in remarkable condition given how old it is. And it comes with Scott’s signature purple bunny backpack which is removable! Yet another amazing detail!!

It might seem silly that I’m getting this excited about this, but like I said I’m a big fan of Teacher’s Pet, and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d have the chance to get this plush. But i had an opportunity, the timing was just right, and I went for it.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to add this to my collection. I think my smile was as wide as his when I took him out of the box.

Spot Helperman

Spot Helperman is a dog who so desperately wants to be a human boy that he disguises himself as a nine year old and attends school under the alias Scott Leadready II. At school, he is the smartest ‘child’ in his class and also the most popular with his best friend being Leonard Helperman. He is also Leonard Helperman’s pet dog. He is his teacher’s favourite student, but he is also her pet dog too. Very few others know that he’s actually a dog and this includes Leonard and the other two household pets; Mr Jolly the cat and Pretty Boy the parrot.

Spot appears in Teacher’s Pet and Teacher’s Pet The Movie. During Teacher’s Pet The Movie, he goes on a road trip with Leonard and Mary Helperman (as Scott Leadready II) and gets turned into a human man through lab experimentation. He is turned back into a dog by the end and keeps up his dual identity as Scott Leadready II.

He has not appeared since.
