Cake Distribution has sold the animated comedy-action series Skunk Fu! to Disney Channel Latin America, completing the show’s global reach. Co-produced by Cartoon Saloon, Cake Ent. and Telegael for TG4 in Ireland and SUPER RTL in Germany, the series previously secured broadcast homes in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.
Created by Aidan Harte, Skunk Fu! is a series of 52 13-minute episodes that revolve around a young western skunk learning Kung Fu from a wise old Panda in China so that he can help the resistance fight against the evil Dragon and his army of Ninja Monkeys. The show features madcap humor and adventure themes aimed at kids aged 6-11.
‘It was our ambition from the outset to make Skunk Fu! for a world-wide audience,’ says series exec producer Tom van Waveren, creative director of Cake Ent. ‘Seeing the series fulfill that ambition is immensely satisfying and exciting.’
All audiovisual exploitation rights for Skunk fu! are controlled by Cake Distribution, while all licensing and merchandising rights are handled by Galleon Plc. Both Cake and Galleon are equity owners in the property.
