Toonhound - Funky Valley (2004-)

    Funky Valley is home to a host of hopping-mad farm animals. There's Dippy
    the dreamy cow, buslting Clara the hen, the far-too sensible pig called Porker,
    bossy Daphne duck and the neurotic sheep Fleecie, and they're aided and
    abetted by Hoot, the owl with lots of not-so clever ideas. All the critters share a
    common trait. They're too cream-headed to fit in to a regular farmyard. But
    here in Funky Valley they can run amok with their wild schemes and crazy
    notions, well, till the cows come home...

    This frisky series comes to us from Sara and Simon Bor and their production
    outfit Honeycomb Animation. Funky Valley has a suitably funky design.
    It's made up of swatches of landscape. It's a torn paper patchwork akin to a
    kid's collage. And there's some equally funky narration by that off-the-wall
    actor and comedian Mark Williams. There's something so special about his
    brilliant Brummie accent. A madness lurking just beneath the surface. He's
    got the perfect voice. Little wonder the show's been a hit on Five, where it
    airs as part of the morning Milkshake! line-up...

    » Series co-writer Alan Plenderleith has previously brought us the
         ploppy delights of The Odd Squad...

    » "Funky Valley" has hit the spot with the bosses of UK broadcaster Five,
         because a spin-off - "Funky Town" - has now been commissioned...
