So there's this show by a company called L.A. Animation called Timberwood Tales, & from what I can tell, this looks to be a show about someone named Timberwood Brown with some animal friends, his nephew, & Anegla the veterinarian. At first, all I could find was that one episode in Hebrew, & the English intro, but when looking around I found this:
This Printerest page includes an image of what looks to be a VHS tape, & at the bottom left is the logo for the American Broadcasting Company. I also found an IMDB page that puts it in the year of 1991, meaning that it's possible that this could've aired on ABC in its 1991-1992 Saturday Morning season, though this has yet to be confirmed.
Now here's where it gets... strange.

In these pages, this show is said to air on those channels, but for some reason they list them as being JAPANESE shows(anime). Why? I don't know honestly. L.A. Animation doesn't really sound like a name for a Japanese studio at all to me(though L.A. Hero is a name of a Japanese company), & not a single anime style I know of even MATCHES this show.
Then amongst after I clicked on that Hebrew dubbed episode, I found this:

It's the Hebrew dubbed intro for the show featuring mostly higher quality footage than the English intro currently available. At the end, it includes a globe, & some words with info on the show, including "In association with ABC DSITRIBUTION CO.", kind of meaning that ABC might have in fact aired the cartoon, though again it's not been confirmed.
I would love to read the opening credits of the English intro, but they're REALLY HARD to read. However though, I did find this:

Apparently Richard M. Sherman was responsible for the Timberwood Tales theme song, or perhaps other bits of the soundtrack. Considering most of his work is of Disney, I'd thought I would try to see if L.A. Animation has any connections to Disney, & so far nothing has gotten me close to finding out anything about them. Who knows, they might not be related at all. Well, this is all I have for the show so far.
