I Remember watching a show or film when I was little, the characters were almost muppet like, a chicken, a cat, a donkey, were all in a jug band or a dixie band. The bad guys were large characters who wore bibbed blue jean overalls and lived in a shack in a swamp and played poker. I believe the animals thought the shack was haunted. Please help if you know the name of this as I have racked my poor brain for a long time.
