Touché Turtle and Dum Dum is a series of animated segments as part of The Hanna-Barbera New Cartoon Series, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for NBC's Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1962 to 1963, airing 52 episodes.
When the series started airing as reruns on Boomerang, the original film masters were in noticeably poor condition and also had notable film damages.
So far, the Warner Archive Collection has made no announcements of releasing the entire series onto DVD, likely due to those same film damages and poor maintenance.
