They come up against problems of all shapes and sizes, along with the rest of the animals in the neighbourhood. There’s a sweet, innocent Owl, headstrong Tusk, Ping Wing the penguin and many more.

Lionel Marty, Managing Director of APC Kids says: “The mix of clay and 3D animation in Fox & Hare creates a series with a distinctive look and feel. Combined with the universal theme of friendship and community, we are delighted that new global broadcasters are partnering with us to bring audiences into the world of this fun new show.”
