Richie Rich is a 1996 animated television series produced by
Harvey Films and
Film Roman and distributed by
Claster Television. It is based on the
Harvey Comicscharacter of the same name. It aired for one season, and also includes select
Harveytoons shorts.[1] Unlike the
Hanna-Barberaversion which depicted a somewhat older Richie closer to adolescence, this revival series was more faithful to the comics, as Richie Rich appeared in his original form as a younger child in his tuxedo and shorts.[2]
