Wolfoo is a Vietnamese YouTube preschool animated web series by SCONNECT and WOA Entertainment.

Synopsis

The show follows Wolfoo, an anthropomorphic male wolf living on a hill in a small American village with his parents and sisters, Lucy and Jenny. Pando and Kat are Wolfoo's best friends. SCONNECT has been sued for copyright infringement by the creators of Peppa Pig.

Broadcast

The first official episode of Wolfoo was published in 23 August 2018. There are currently many channels under the Wolfoo brand. Among these are "Wolfoo America", "Wolfoo's Stories", "Wolfoo Shows", and "Wolfoo - Sing Along Songs". This is similar to a method used by other content farms.

A feature-length series of online films, Wolfoo the Adventurer, were released on YouTube.

Wolfoo is also dubbed in several languages such as Spanish, Indonesian, Tagalog, Russian, Vietnamese and many more. The voice cast is currently unknown. A spin-off, Bearee, was released on 16 April 2022.

Wolfoo has also been criticized for its usage of gross-out humor throughout its run, constantly featuring animated depictions of defecation and or urination by several characters, pregnancy and anthropomorphic organs. It has been accused of copyright infringement by the creators of Peppa Pig, and the show's distributor, Entertainment One, has sued SCONNECT for Wolfoo's visual and aesthetic similarity to the show. Entertainment One have successfully requested YouTube to take down the infringing episodes, and over 2,000 videos have been taken down. SCONNECT would also be blocked from uploading new videos due to their infringing activity, which involves both audio and visual copyright infringement. The UK Court confirmed it is a suitable jurisdiction for the dispute and dismissed Sconnect's complaints. The judge at the preliminary hearing noted that the imagery between Wolfoo and Peppa Pig is "remarkably similar". Sconnect were ordered by the UK Court to pay over £200,000 in legal costs to Entertainment One as a result of the ongoing dispute.

On 15 December 2022, the trademark office of Russia (RUSPTO) refused to register the Wolfoo trademark in Russia, citing the reason that it was confusingly similar to the Peppa Pig trademarks already registered in Russia, and would therefore cause confusion amongst consumers as to the origin of the trademark.
