The Raccoons is a Canadian animated television series, first broadcast from 1985 to 1992. The series was created by Kevin Gillis, and produced first at Atkinson Film-Arts (from 1985-1986), then at newly established Hinton Animation Studios (from 1987 on).
In the Evergreen Forest, there is a group of raccoons, the most rambuctious being Bert. Their home is peaceful and beautiful, but also threatened by the greedy aardvark industrialist, Cyrial Sneer, who wants to destroy the forest for his own profit. Together with some dog friends and Cydric Sneer, Cyrial's sympathetic son, they work to oppose Cyrial through their newspaper and environmental initiatives. As the series progresses, they eventually him win over as they find themselves allied against other environmental dangers and enemies. Written by Kenneth Chisholm
