AMAZING 3
Under the orders of Galactic Control, a space saucer lands on Earth. In that saucer -
Patrol A3 - 
three superior beings from outer space named ‘THE AMAZING 3’, sent
to Earth to help achieve law and order. When they land on Earth, a huge vacuum cleaner
attached to their ship sucks up 3 
animals; a duck, a horse and a bunny. The Amazing 3
take over these bodies to be used as a disguise, to decide if the war-hungry Earth is a
threat to the rest of the galaxy and should be destroyed or not.
The bunny was named ‘Captain Bonnie’. She was the leader of the group. She was
the sensible one and had a cute voice, a big fluffy tail and long pointy ears. The duck
was named ‘Lieutenant Zero’ and was the aggressive one always wanting to blow
Earth up. The horse was named ‘Corporal Ronnie' and was always making contraptions
such as an autopictograph where pictures were put into a machine and come to life. Kenny
Carter was a boy who knew the secret of The Amazing 3 and when in great danger called on
his secret agent older brother, Randy Carter to help. He worked for the Phoenix Bureau of
Peace Enforcement. This organisation was the greatest crime-fighting agency in the world.
His code name was P77.
The Amazing 3 regularly signed in and gave reports about earth to Galactic Control, and
after 12 months the members of the Galactic League representing all advanced planets of
space analysed the reports and voted to destroy Earth, but it was Kenny Carter who was
taken to The Amazing 3’s planet and who convinced them that earthlings love each
other, so they delayed their decision to blow up Earth until Kenny was older.
Kenny and The Amazing 3 travelled around in a huge wheel.
The Amazing 3 was called ‘Wonder 3’ in Japan. 52 episodes were made. It was
created by Osamu Tezuka (Kimba and Astroboy) through his own production company - Mushi
Productions. It was released in Japan in 1965 and was shown on Melbourne TV in April 1969
at 4pm on channel 9. Some of the episode titles are listed below.
Like 8th man, Amazing 3 was also produced by Gene Prinz and his staff at Copri
International. 
Reuben Guberman went on to work with producer Salvatore Billiteri (Prince
Planet) writing the scripts as well as dubbing the occasional villain's voice on both
"Prince Planet " and Johnny Sokko's "Flying Robot". Corinne Orr was
not the voice of "Bonnie Bunnie"(this was reconfirmed by Corinne herself) as
stated in many Anime history books. The actors hired to do the dubbing were thought to be
lost to history until Andy Shepherd uncovered who they were. (andrewshepherd@mailcity.com) . They were
college students and local actors from Miami's little theatre.
Capt. Bonnie Bunny = Bobbie Byers
Col. Ronnie Pony = Neil Patrick
Zero the Duck = Paul Brown
Kenny Carter = Kurt Nagel
Randy Carter = still unknown as of now
Jerry Burke (8th Man voice) did the opening intro to A3.
Amazing 3 has not been released on video, as the existing 16mm prints as well as the audio
tracks has been lost or destroyed in the US, but there could still be some in the archives
of television stations or collectors' homes around the world. There seems to be no record
of where the 16mm prints were distributed (production info from Andy Shepherd).
Amazing 3 was also dubbed into Spanish under the title "Los tres espaciales"(Thanks to Pedro Muņoz Gerdau munozger@zedat.fu-berlin.de). Mauricio Korbman <mauricio@korbman.com> use to watch it in Mexico.
