I'm only two minutes in, and the animation has already won me over; some of the best posing mixed with stylised movement.

I remember watching this cartoon a couple of times on Nickelodeon's *Weinerville.*
A businessman trying to lose weight, but got more than he bargained for after he tested the experiment on himself.
I never forgot it.

That 'magic powder' he sprinkled on, was illicit. And share it, you did: Thank you. In my 63 years, I've never seen it. Looks like the same creators, behind Mr. 'Magoo'. Oh the perils, of food abuse. Down to 150?? Wish I could come UP, to that🙄.

I remember watching this on Nickelodeon back in the day

You Know You'll Never Catch Anyone Smoking in a Cartoon Now a Days! Especially if it's a Kids Flick! BTW, Swell Cartoon! Brought Back Some Swell Memories!

[@Julayla]

Oh yes, I remember having watched this years ago, back then when Wienerville use to air on Nickelodeon. It was quite interesting and underrated in my opinion

[@BonerBenny977]

Bugger, I'm Surpirsed Duton Didn't Try Tying Himself Down to Something. Lol!

[@PedalPwner69]

Lol, the Part Where Duton Flies Away Reminds Me of a DuckTales Episode.
