A Town Called Panic (in French, Panique au village) is a French-language Belgian-produced stop motion animated puppetoon children's television series distributed by Aardman Animations and produced in Belgium by Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier for La Parti & Pic Pic André.
 It follows the everyday events of Cowboy, Indian and Horse in a small rural town as they go about their lives.

 Some stations broadcast several episodes in a 15 or 30-minute block.
The Hengdang is a single edged sword with a long handle used by the Assamese/Ahoms in India.

 Violence erupts when a brutal army Colonel (Martin Landau) arrives in search of an elusive rebel leader.
 The film was retitled "A Town Called Hell" for US release as the word "bastard" was thought offensive.
