FOXSYLVANIA

—The Cartoon Network tends to be a mixed bag, with some decent ‘toons and some better left forgotten.   A cute, funny, and very viewable series that didn’t originate there is Skunk Fu, featuring a panda kung fu master and a variety of martial-arts trained anthropomorphic animals.  Skunk is a likable, spunky title character given to laziness at times and seeking shortcuts.   Vulpines are well-represented by Fox, a vixen who is quite graceful and alluring and uses agility rather than strength to defeat her opponents;  Rabbit has a serious crush on her. Other animal characters include an ox, a snake, a turtle, a tiger, a bird, and a pig (among others that include insects).

Recurring enemies include a baboon with an Aussie accent, his legion of seldom-effective ninja monkies, and a dragon mastermind who was once a friend of Panda’s. The dragon had been assigned  to guard the animals of the valley, but grew arrogant and so was punished by Heaven with imprisonment; now he’s angry and bitter, and blames the animals for his situation.   Most of the other characters also have histories and at times, issues…

Intended for children, Skunk Fu can be appreciated for a variety of things, including fight scenes uncommonly fluid for ‘toon characters…
