Chuck Chicken (Kung Fu Chicken in China) is a Canadian-American animated television series created by Animasia Studios. The story takes place on a bird-filled island of Rocky Perch, and tells the story of Chuck who turns into the eponymous "Kung Fu Chicken", providing kung fu-style security and protection to the citizens of the island. When Chuck inherits a very special amulet in the shape of a golden egg with amazing powers, he uses it to defeat evil to protect the island of "planet bird", which looks like planet Earth (but with anthropomorphic birds instead of humans) and the planet being in the shape of an egg.
