Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The Beano Videostars" in English language version.
The Beano characters were also in colour – and in motion – in The Beano Video, which was released in 1993. It was an attempt to take the magic of The Beano and turn it into an animated video. It followed the format of The Beano, being an anthology of short, snappy stories, which brought Dennis and Gnasher, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids and The Three Bears to life. It was broadcast as a special on CITV and renamed The Beano All-Stars for its DVD re-release. A sequel, with an expanded cast of characters, was released in 1994. While these videos did not challenge the top of the year's best seller charts, they did mark the first time any DC Thomson characters had been animated since Bananaman a decade earlier, and showed that the company was eager to push forward with bringing their characters to life on screen.
Terry Ward won Best Special for The Beano Videostars and Simon Ward-Horner's The Legends of Treasure Island won Best Series in the Children's Choice awards.
