Anna et Froga

Here’s something I found completely randomly on YouTube. I don’t really know what they’re saying as my French requires people to speak at about 10 words a minute, but it’s something about the lottery I think! Anyway. I like it.


French Retro

February 19, 2009

Here’s someĀ  kids series from the back and beyond. Do you remember a “Super Lunar Bird” called Wattoo Wattoo. Me and my siblings loved this alien bird. I can’t find an English version, so here is an original French version episode with an anti-smoking theme. It’s interesting, not least because you don’t often see smoking on children’s TV amymore.

So there you are… give up smoking by replacing cigarettes with explosives. D’accord!

Also, a film that a friend recommended from her own childhood, Barbapapa. Also a French production !


Snail in a strange land

Here’s a strange piece of work about a snail in a computerised world. The snail makes its way through an ever changing, constantly redesigning electronic landscape.

This played at the London Internatial Animation Festival in 2008.
