Ned's Newt is an animated television series created by Andy Knight and Mike Burgess and co-produced by Nelvana and German company TMO Film GmbH (later renamed as "TMO-Loonland Film GmbH" in seasons 2–3) in conjunction with Studio B Productions.

Thus, the eats too much warning comes true, Newton grows 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall, can talk (voiced by Harland Williams), and has the power to shape-shift.

The series recounts the misadventures of Ned attempting to live life normally while trying to keep Newton from being discovered.

In another episode, to raise money for charity, Ned's friend Doogle digs a hole and stumbles across a race of subterranean trolls secretly planning domination of the world's metropolises-es.

And although they usually succeed in doing so, Newton invariably changes back to newt form just in time to avoid being seen and Ned to get into trouble.

The series made extensive references to famous faces and popular culture at the time, relying heavily on Harland Williams' experience as a comedian and impressionist.

Newton shifts into newt versions of many celebrities in each episode, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, etc.

In the third season episode ("Rear Bus Window"), Newton proclaims his exact species name vittercensis, which is not a cataloged member of the genus.

Reruns of episodes dubbed in Spanish language were also broadcast on the Cartoon Network Latin America channel from 2000 until 2004.
