In September 1997, Warner Bros. Studios debuted The Legend of Calamity Jane, an Old West–themed animated series that appeared on its Kids’ WB slate of children’s programming. A co-production of Warner Bros. TV Animation with France-based Gangster Production, Contre-Allée, and Canal+, and set in and around Deadwood, South Dakota, in the 1870s, it presented a heavily fictionalized, heavily stylized take on the life and times of the real-life Martha Jane Canary, a gunslinging, bullwhip-toting cowgirl who was famously known around the world as “Calamity Jane.”

The series starred Barbara Scaff (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets) as the voice of Jane, joined by Frank W. Welker (Transformers, Freddy of Scooby-Doo fame) as Jane’s sidekick, Joe Presto, Clancy Brown (Superman: The Animated Series, SpongeBob SquarePants) as Wild Bill Hickok, Tim Matheson (Jonny Quest, Animal House) as Captain John O’Rourke, and Michael Horse (Twin Peaks, Claws) as Comanche tribe leader Chief Chayna Walker. Supporting roles were performed by such well-known actors as Mark Hamill (Star Wars, Batman: The Animated Series), Robert Patrick (Peacemaker, Terminator 2: Judgment Day), Billy West (Futurama), and Luke Perry (Riverdale, Beverly Hills 90210).

Though only three episodes aired in the United States, in the years that followed, The Legend of Calamity Jane built up a worldwide audience, starting with children (now adults) who saw those U.S. episodes or who watched the entire run in such regions as Canada and France, the UK and Italy, South America, Spain, and Portugal, Switzerland, and Finland, and expanding to contemporary animation fans who discovered low-res, fuzzy transfers posted on the Internet.
