Wil Cwac Cwac
is a
Welsh-language
children's animated television series produced by
Siriol Animation
for
S4C
in 1982. It is based on a series of children's books written in the early 1930s by Jennie Thomas and J. O. Williams, including the famous Welsh-language book
Llyfr Mawr y Plant
(Welsh for
Big Children's Book
). Both book and television series take place in rural Wales. An English-language version of the show (called
Will Quack Quack
) was produced for the wider English-speaking market. The first 20 episodes were dubbed in
UK English
and aired on
Children's ITV
in 1984, with the remaining 10 following in 1986. In both versions, all narration and characters were voiced by
Myfanwy Talog
. A
US English
dub was also made, with
Liza Ross
narrating, and aired in the United States on
The Disney Channel
as a segment on the program
Lunch Box
.
