Animal Kwackers was a popular children's television series produced by Yorkshire Television and broadcast on Britain's ITV in the 1970's.

The Animal Kwackers were a four-piece pop band consisting of Rory, a lion; Twang, a monkey; Bongo, a dog; and Boots, a tiger. The characters were played by actors in costumes. The show was similar in many ways to the successful United States of America (US) series Banana Splits.

The music was a mixture of well-known pop songs and original songs, most of which (including the theme song) were written by Roy Apps and the producer Peter Eden.

The jingle from the series was "Rory Rory tell us a story, Rory Rory tell it like it is!"
