Ferdy the Ant (), also simply referred to as Ferdy or Ferda, is a children's animated television series based on the Ferda Mravenec series of comic books by Czech author Ondà Âej Sekora. It was produced by Liechtensteiner company European Cinema Production, and was animated by Far Eastern Productions.
There are three English dubs. The original British English dub, the short-lived Harmony Gold USA dub and a German-produced 2000 dub that uses English-speaking voice actors based in Germany.
The show is primarily aimed towards children from ages 3 to 10, and has been owned by Entertaining Cartoon Productions and Licensing AG since 2000.
The series also appeared on Nepal Television during the early 2000s. It was one of the few animated shows including Moomin that aired on the Nepal's national television at that time.
The series revolves around a little boy-ant named Ferdy as he embarks on a variety of adventures in the insect utopia of Käfertal with his close insect friends.
Story-arcs usually last up to seven episodes.
A 3D episodic arcade video game based on the series was developed by Centauri Productions and released by Cenega in 2002 for the PC.
In 1986, select episodes of the Harmony Gold USA English dub of the series received a small VHS release in the US. The entire series was released on DVD in the Czech Republic in 2003.
