Fans of Spike and Mike are familiar with the deceptively cute animated Happy Tree Friends shorts which have made their way to DVD over the years. Recently G4 revitalized the cartoons with a series. The first chunk of those episodes is coming to disc now as Happy Tree Friends – Season 1, Volume 1.

The Happy Tree Friends are cute, cuddly animals whose daily adventures always end up going horribly wrong. No matter how innocently their day begins, it always ends in mayhem. The ensemble cast includes Cuddles, the cutest darn rabbit you’ll ever meet, and Petunia, a sweet girl skunk always mindful to wear air freshener. Traveling through picturesque settings and speaking in a kooky language all their own, the Happy Tree Friends never know what chaos lingers just around the bend.

The set contains commentary tracks, storyboards, and behind the scenes action. December 5th is the date when cute bunnie will impale themselves again.
