Skunk Fu! is an Irish/British 2D animated children's television series featuring the fables of anthropomorphic animals protecting their valley using martial arts. The show chronicles the adventures of young Skunk, training with his Kung Fu master, Panda, with support of Rabbit, Fox, Turtle, and others, who directly, or inadvertently, also help Skunk grow. The show won the IFTA award for "Best Animation". In addition to an English sound track, an Irish language, French language, Japanese language, and Dutch language soundtracks were initially produced.

Skunk and the other valley animals led by Panda thwart Dragon's efforts to overtake their valley with Baboon and the Ninja Monkeys from their lair in the Mountains. Historically Dragon and Panda were friends, but since Dragon was punished by Heaven for his arrogance, he perceives the valley residents as the reason for his downfall (displacing the responsibility of his own actions) and seeks to destroy them. Panda sees Skunk as crucial to saving the valley and endeavors to teach Skunk who often tries to circumvent laborious Kung Fu training, only to learn the value of the initial lesson from the consequences of his actions with Skunk ultimately saving the day, usually by himself or with the help of his friends.

Skunk Fu! was produced by Cartoon Saloon and premiered in May 2007 on ABC Australia. The series was broadcast in Ireland and the United Kingdom on July 9, 2007.

The series was shown on ABC Rollercoaster in Australia and BBC and S4C in the UK (S4C under the Welsh title, Drewgi). TG4 broadcast Skunk Fu! in Irish. The series made its U.S. debut on September 22, 2007 on the Kids' WB! block on The CW. The series was also broadcast on YTV in Canada in 2009-2010.
