Will Quack Quack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Will Quack Quack (or Wil Cwac Cwac) is a Welsh-language cartoon based on a series of children's books written in the 1920s by Jennie Thomas and J. O. Williams (including the famous Welsh-language book Llyfr Mawr y Plant). The cartoon series ran from the mid 1980s to the early 1990s. Both book and cartoon series take place in rural Wales. An English language version of the show was produced for the wider English-speaking market, with all narration and characters voiced by Myfanwy Talog.
It was aired on The Disney Channel, along with The Playhouse Disney channel, along with other television shows such as Dumbo's Circus, Paddington Bear, Under The Umbrella Tree and Welcome to Pooh Corner. Liza Ross narrated and did all the voices.
The English version of the series has not been released on DVD, although the Welsh version can be purchased from Sain Wales. Previously, Family Home Entertainment and Abbey Home Media released Will Quack Quack on VHS; these videos have since gone out of print.
