Cartoon Network Europe has bought the rights to children's cartoon Skunk Fu! from the UK's Cake Distribution.

Its 52x12-minute episodes were produced by Irish animator Cartoon Saloon with Telegael and Cake Entertainment and will now air on all Cartoon Network's EMEA channels.

It was created by Aidan Harte for kids aged six-12s and follows a western child Skunk learning kung fu from a Chinese Panda.

Cake managing director Edward Galton said: "Cartoon Network shares our hopes and ambitions for the property and we look forward to working with them in taking the building of Skunk Fu!'s success story to their territories."

It was originally made for Ireland's TG4 and Germany's Super RTL and has previous carriage deals with the BBC, Super RTL, Canal J and others.
