childrens cartoon

[seal!]

my friend is trying to think of a cartoon he used to watch about a group of animals trying to get into a castle, and there was an owl who was always reading adictionary or something, and he span around the world, and there was a bear who was always being followed by flys and he thinks the leader was a fox or something. any ideas on what its called?

The animals of 'The Animals Of Farthing Wood' were led by a fox - no castles though!
