유후와 친구들 (English: YooHoo and Friends; Yuhuwa Chingudeul) is a South Korean animated children's television series produced by Aurora World. The series is based on the toyline of the same name, and follows a group of animals that accidentally get sent to Earth, and must find the missing magical seeds of the Tree of Life to get back to their home.
The series initially debuted on KBS2 on July 2, 2009 for one season. Two more seasons of the show would then air, starting from October 21, 2013 to April 9, 2015 on KBS1. These two seasons featured a different art style and designs of the characters. The show was not renewed for a fourth season.
In 2012, an official English gag dub of the same name based on the first season of the series was released, created by David Feiss and produced by Toonzone Studios. It was made for western audiences to relate to the series more, adding three minutes of new animation to each episode. The series ultimately didn't perform well, and was cancelled after its first season. Soon after, Aurora World would commission a faithful English dub of the series in 2014.
In 2019, a Netflix series based on the franchise, YooHoo to the Rescue, was released.
