French Animation: The Mirror Effect – Small Screen Giants

  1. Overview
  2. Description
  3. Films

French animation became known beyond its borders during the 1960s, through TV series for kids.

At this time, a number of animated characters that were created in France like Kiri the clown, Zebedee, the springy jack-in-a-box, Dougal the dog and the outlandish Shadoks set off on a trip around the globe. A few years later Gideon the duck was all the rage with kids everywhere.

This success has subsequently never failed, thanks in part to the bold choices the artists, producers and broadcasters made along the way. Among them, Georges Lacroix became a pioneer of 3D CGI animation and the series Oggy and the Cockroaches, created by Jean-Yves Raimbaud, revived Tex Avery’s comic aggression.

Pascal Le Nôtre, one of the founders of the Folimage studio, also skillfully imitated the US TV soap opera genre and screenwriter and producer, Delphine Maury, even succeeded in talking history to children.

With these ten series, the Annecy Festival is offering an inevitably incomplete overview of TV shows that marked their generation.
