Search Tommy & Oscar on Amazon.Tommy & Oscar (Italian: Tommy e Oscar) is an Italian animated television series co-created by Max Alessandrini and Iginio Straffi, with graphic creation by Pietro Dichiara and Carlo Rambaldi. It was the first major project from Rainbow, which later became a much larger television studio co-owned by the US company Viacom (now known as Paramount).

52 episodes over two seasons were made. An English-language voiceover was also made in the Canadian city of Montreal.

Premise

Professor Leonard is the classic mad, bizarre and eccentric scientist. His amazing inventions often end with unpredictable results. However, thanks to these inventions, his nephew Tommy becomes a superhero intent on protecting the world from Caesar, an unscrupulous businessman.

Tommy, a 10-year-old boy with his alien friend Oscar and his friends Yukari and Peter along with his uncle, Professor Leonard, join forces to stop the evil desires of Caesar. His strategies for getting rich, however, are diabolical plans to make money quickly without considering the disastrous consequences.

Fortunately, our heroes are not alone. There are Yukari, an expert in martial arts, and Peter, a talented Italo-African musician. Together they will have to save animals, protect forests and reveal complicated secrets.
