Yet another animated series from [[Disney]], premiering on April 17, 1997. Ned Needlemeyer is a nervous 8-year-old with several intense fears, which play themselves out in exaggerated fashions in his dreams. Each episode is basically one long [[Nightmare Sequence]] of Ned facing a different fear. The show lasted for 25 episodes.
