Galleon Inks DVD Deal on Skunk Fu!

LONDON, August 15: The British DVD rights to season one of
the animated series Skunk Fu! have been
licensed to Warner Music Group by Galleon Holdings.

The 52×13-minute property, targeted to children aged 6 to
12, follows the adventures of a skunk who is accidentally dropped into China as
a child. He quickly learns the ways of kung fu to defend the animals of the
valley from the evil mountain dragon and his hench-monkeys.

The series launched on BBC One last month with strong
ratings, having achieved a 20-percent market share to become the highest rated
kids show in its timeslot. Produced by Cartoon Saloon and represented by Cake
Distribution, it has already been sold in 35 territories, among them Germany
(Super RTL), France (Canal J), Australia (ABC) and Asia (Cartoon Network). Galleon
controls the worldwide licensing and merchandising rights for the series, in
addition to being the joint owner of the property.
