This taught me more about animation than school ever did.
New count numbers
I still watch Oggy and the Cockroaches. It's a fun and expressive cartoon, I love it, it's a childhood staple.
One thing about oggy and the cockroaches is that it got inspiration from tom and jerry according to some
Marc Du P. said that he talked to the creator Jean-Yves Raimbaud that what it would look like if Tom and jerry are in the 2000s
And also in other Jean-Yves Raimbaud shows Space goofs
Has involvement with Bob Camp the guy who worked on ren and stimpy stuff as a English dubs voice director and even a writer for the show
And sadly during production of Oggy and the cockroaches
Jean-Yves Raimbaud would passed away few months before the airing of a first episode of oggy and the cockroaches
Hey Anton ! As a French person, it's great to see French animation enhanced ! Thanks for this well written video (your french accent est parfait btw bravo)
@Danimation’s Animations Yeah it's a great show, also one of my favorite. Shame they don't make these kind of series anymore. Fortunately oggy is still running.
Bonjour, as a French fan of animation I am impressed by the huge amount of work you have done in this video ! And this is really fun to see a foreign point of view about our children cartoons ^^
I will just add some more productions that were really famous for us during the 2000' or some more informations :
- studio Ankama is really popular in France, especially for "anime" fans : Wakfu & Dofus are the best franchise I think, there is also a movie for Dofus which is incredible and Mutafukaz which is a coproduction with the japanese studio 4°C.
- there were a lot of Football cartoons which is normal because of the popularity of this sport in our country : Foot 2 Rue is kinda cool but the most epic of all is probably Galactik Football (it finish on a cliffhanger)
- Code Lyoko is probably the most famous of the series for our generation...
- Baskup, Barbapapa, Tchoupi (for the little kids), Monsieur Madame, Les Mystérieuses Cités d'Or (franco-japanese), Les Lapins Crétins : Invasion, etc...
- last thing, we are really influenced nowadays by US and japanese animations : the fact is that we have discovered these style 10 years before US truly discover anime and 10 years before Japan discover american modern cartoons (nickelodeon and CN for example). So our production are maybe the result of this mixup of influence due to the fact we were exposed quicker than the others.
pour ma part je dirais même 20 ans (plutôt dans les années 80 donc.) pour l'animation Japonaise quand on prend en compte le club dorothee et recrée a2.
Im trying to find a cartoon that was shown in the uk that had some characters with big pink floppy noses. They were usually they were
Rien à rajouter à par que je préfère Foot2Rue à Galactique Football mdr
Et peut être les légendaires dessins animés « il était une fois…la vie/l’homme/… »
I don’t care what anyone thinks, OGGY AND THE COCKROACHES IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!
Same with Space Goofs :)
Code Lyoko was such a great kids show. One of the best there is. I hope France can make more animation of that quality in the future, if not better!
That's crazy, I didn't know so many cartoons that I watched in my childhood were from France, I always thought they were from America when I was little. Can you some day make a video about German animation?
@@Dumplin_Kaktus calm down, he just said he liked the video that’s all
I wasn't French. I speak Bonjour in French as one word and I'm Portuguese.
@@v88box21 property
Me too. They were aired really late when I should've been asleep as a kid but I was one of those kids and hated going to bed.
If I had to guess which shows gained the most international success being aired in over 100 countries worldwide, Totally Spies really started a renaissance in its respective genre. But i believe that Miraculous got the most success out of most or all French Animated shows. It recently nabbed a Kids Choice And Teen Choice award for Overall Animated show.
Update: As of 2022, some cartoon characters we saw in this video have continued their adventures and/or got new life entirely. Shows such as Asterix, The Smurfs, Miraculous, and Totally Spies have gotten either new seasons or got new shows entirely.
As for now, French animated films are now even more creative than ever, even with the cooperation with other countries such as Flee, Calamity Jane A Childhood of Martha Jane Cannary, My Father's Secret, Where Is Anne Frank, Unicorn War, and Le Petit Nicolas!
Blue Eye Samurai, Super Mario Bros, Migration, Mars Express, TMNT, etc... 2023 was a great year for French animation.
2024 will be good too (Wakfu Season 4, Dreamland, Despicable Me 4, and many more projects).
Arkane someday ?
Wait, Totally Spies was French? Woah...
Now we can add the wonderful show "Arcane" to this list. Fortiche is the new French gem.
Yeah that's as american as it is french
Oh boy, so many favourites here! Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke, Walter Melon, Dragon Hunters, Hero 108, Corneil and Bernie, W.I.T.C.H., The Smurfs, Mune: Guardian of the Moon and Once Upon A Time... *Insert theme here*!
A strange system
My most recent favorite of mine is lucky luke
I'm French And I think it's a good thing to talk about the cartoons of my country because we also revolutionize animation in general
I don’t think this is a good coping method when your spam account gets deleted
You're so close to 1mil bro!
I found out a few yrs ago that Oggy was French!
I grew up with more Canadian animation tho!
The History of Japanese Animation video will be 15 hours long
And will be worth it :)
@@Vincent654 no
Yes
And the amercian video will be so long that I can’t think
Japanese animation is overrated
oh lord this video made me feel so nostalgic i watched almost all of these cartoons as a kid and have pretty much all Asterix and Obélix movies but as a kid i never really looked deeply into cartoons it was just something to pass the time. thank you for this masterpiece
Are you even alive
@@trungcaothemagnificent2777 no i died February 6th 1962
I loved the editing in this video and the gags. I liked how he briefly discussed the CGI animations even though that's not 2D animation-related, props.
Are you even there
Quand j'étais petit je pensais que si le personnage parlait français, le dessin-animé était automatiquement français mdr
When I was a child I used to think all the cartoons I watched were french because they spoke french
I'm creating a cartoon. It's called, Forgotten Tales! It's about these forgotten and obscure characters that no one remembers from media going on wacky and crazy adventures.
This was great! Thank you so much.
T he system is breaking
Growing up in Cambodia I must say I recognise a lot of anime in this video. Most of them aired on our national TV channel.To us kid from 90s to early 2000s these are our best childhood animations that came from France.
-Tin Tin
-Spirou
-Count de champignae
-Lucky Luke
-Enigma
-The little witches 1994
-Dr Globule and Horrifido
- Patrol
-Garage kid
-Kassai and Luke
- Totally spies
- Kangoo
-Rahman
-Chris Colorado
- Papa Pere
-Scheherazade
Sadly they stopped aired these shows in 2014 and started to aired Chinese cartoons in stead.

This whole 1 hr 20+ Documentary of french animation is good hard work to list & researched & edit ya did! good job and i had enjoyed to watch, i knew some of my childhood cartoons are familiar and some you mentioned came back to me nostalgic mostly 2000s-2010s animation Like i never knew the french made Oggy & the cockroaches and of course linked to Zig & Shark, i knew my fave highschool graphic book had the adaptation of Persepolis, yet things like Totally spies (not my kind but watched it as a kid when bored & still lived in southeast asia/philippines we got cartoon network, disney & nikelodeon to watch international cartoons in original English) and best cartoon i had watched currently is the Miraculous Ladybug stuff, then Music vid like Stromae's carmen and this talents made in france & international is i wished & hoped to grow better in the future

I think France be the third best country to make animation only behind Japan/and USA.
C
You mean behind USA and Canada, Japan animation is ok but not that great.
@@booboobunny5655 well not behind Canada cause when you see all the great shows that have come out of France like lady meracolas compared to Canada which had not a lot of good shows.

@@booboobunny5655 For me France is before Canada but after Japan and USA. But this is subjective. Definitely one of the best there is regardless.
All of that are quite popular in Cambodia too since we're a former France colony this brings back memories!
Thx for making this amazing video watched even years later 🙏
Aw yes, I remember Totally Spies, Oggy and Code Lyoko
Well this is strang e
@@trungcaothemagnificent2777 😕
Oggy and the cockroaches is popular in india and all these yrs I thought it was Japanese because most animation shows on TV were Japanese.
_b a s e d_
Words can not explain how much I’m sad
I would love to see a Jet Set Radio animated series, something similar to Wheel Squad but with the aesthetic of JSR and a more complex narrative.
I love France! Especially since it made marvelous foods like baguettes and fromage
It's art
And it's Anthem
Fromage is just the French word for cheese. They use it even when referring to Swiss/Dutch cheese. You can just say cheese.
Look at this pure passion documentary.
I really hope that when Jean-Paul Walravens (a.k.a. Picha) celebrates his 80th anniversary next year he would remaster Zoo Olympics (1992) and Zoo Cup (1994), I only saw the first 26 shorts from both of them and there are 104 in total (52 each).
Glad to see the Antoons drama is over, i think, i havent been keeping up with anything

Great Video. Looking forward To More Of Your Work!
Time to continue
That was pretty epic. Amazingly, some of the few French things I have seen on British TV or seen in book form didn't pop up (or I blinked and missed them, or they are not as French as I thought). One was Barbapapa, a shape-shifting pink blob who appears to be named after the French for candy floss. Another is something called "Robo Story" with a girl, a dog, lots of bell-shaped robots and a villain called the White Wriggler, who was always being told by his boss, a disembodied deep voice called the Revered Reverence, to "never forget that he was the LOWEST OF THE LOW".
I like your art! looks like old nostalgic newgrounds cartoons!
This was fun to watch!
And to think some of the most memorable cartoons throughout history were made by the French...for if it wasn't for them we would've never had half the shows mentioned in this video, like The Smurfs, The Adventures of Tintin, Totally Spies, etc.
Aren't Smurfs from Belgium?
And wasn't Totally Spies Canadian?
@@dudenamedzelda3179 Actually the person who created the show is French, but the series is co produced by a company in Canada.
@@CosmicSponge2004 Well technically yes, and so was the person who created the Smurfs Peyo, whose real name was Pierre Culliford, which is a French name.
1:05:40 Having marathoned all 7 original Oggy seasons back in the quarantine (as the first 2 were childhood deep cuts and I was interested in a revisit / catch-up), I recall that various credits stated that Olivier Jean-Marie was still heavily involved in writing and directing for one more season, up until the 5th which was basically an extension of what the movie showed (anthology stories set in different time periods). Then strangely the 6th one was entirely comprised of remakes of S1-2 episodes (compared to the HD remasters of S3 which were still labeled as such) with the 7th being almost the same thing, except that it did have some 20ish back to basics new episodes. And while he didn't direct them, Jean-Marie did write a few of these making them their last contributions to the show before his retirement. I think those last 3 seasons originally came out during 2017-18.
Speaking of, while the show was still being a long runner, it took many hiatuses. S1-2 came out between 1998-2000 (or 03 depending on other sources), S3 in 2007-8 I think, S4 in 2012-13 and the aforementioned S5-7 during 2017-18.
And recently, there were a couple of new related Oggy series released afterwards. A cockroach-free preschool CGI spinoff and a "next gen" relaunch of the original formula with a new artstyle and characters back in last year, both clearly aimed at younger audiences. The latter change being already a precedent set by season 5 as the first 4 did have quite a few "not apt for kids" moments (gags, storylines, character designs, background elements, etc) that had to he censored in some foreign airings, including the portrait controversy from S4. The HD remasters/remakes of the early seasons also have quite a bit of censorship to mitigate that too.
And another aspect of Oggy that really caught my attention was the soundtrack of the first 4 seasons, mostly made by musician Hughes Le Bars. It's wild, varied and memorable in many aspects.
Still watching The Adventures of Tintin
and it’s been a great fun cartoon.

do you remember a cartoon about a prince &princess and a demon that cant touch water? The demons use seeds to absorb water so they can cross paths and they want to invade the crystal castle.
Don't know if it has been adressed in the comments, but the french have been heavily influencend by japanese animation ever since the late 70's when the cartoon "Grendizer" has been brought to the national television under the title "Goldorak". It was the open door for all the japanmania that took over the country.
Actually my favorite show is French. It's The Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
france made the best cartoons no cap
This is some fun content.
Booooo
Video idea: History of Korean Animation
Good idea
@@jabberjaw7163 not uni for
Foreign animation is better than American animation. It doesn't take a genius to see that
Duh
And it will continue being better due to the recent hostility shown towards animation by Hollywood executives (David Zaslav has been removing animated shows from HBO Max and wrote Final Space off as a loss for taxes, and Bob Chapek outright stated "animation is for kids, and only for kids"). We're heading towards an event akin to the Video Game Crash of 1983. Going forward, American animation will either be shoved onto streaming or being explicitly aimed at babies, while France and Japan will become the new leaders of the industry.
29:04 only in the US maybe. This scene is included in the french version i watched ON CZcams months ago.
I tell you what, that weird cartoon that I liked, couldn't figured out what it was, turns out it was french.
Which cartoon are you referring to?
@@truthhopelove no one in particular. It's just a MDE: World Peace reference.
Wow thank God for French animation
Why does everyone say base now
Bobbypills and Fortiche are great recent studios.
I think your narration comes across a bit monotone and you edit your recordings too close together, it would really benefit if you let your previous statement breathe for a moment before carrying on to your next point. I also think providing examples of the media referenced by pausing and letting a few seconds play would assist engagement, though that likely is a tougher ask due to copyright concerns. Also I noticed you stopped referring to works by their localized titles around halfway through, why is that? Those issues aside, I quite enjoyed this production and hope to see more in a similar vein in the future, CZcams could always use more long-form edited content.
yeah, some parts really did feel too fast, and even with the short breaks I squeezed in (coffee breaks) I feel other areas could use more time to let the viewer absorb the content more easily. I think its because of how much there was to cover I ended up rushing the video a bit not to drag it too much. Also about the longer media examples, you got it right, there was a lot of problems with copyrighted stuff, so it took about 10 hours of waiting to export and upload to see if there are no claims (its a big file to it took a lot of time to test). The Code Lyoko one was driving me insane lol, as soon as I covered one part with layers, another one was claimed right after it lol Or the previous one was newly claimed as the layers were not strong enough, but somehow the content ID didnt detect that before (thus I used 5 characters to block the footage). About the localized names, some names were a bit hard to read in French as I wasnt sure if I pronounced them correctly (its been years since I took a French class), so in those cases I referred to the English versions. I guess it does sound strange that I didnt follow with one pattern throughout the whole video, but oh well, more things to improve on in the next video :)

The first 11 and a half seasons of Thomas the Tank Engine isn’t really animation. I say first 11 and a half because the 12th season uses both live action and animation.
As a Brit, I have to say a lot of our film animation output has been a bit depressing. Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, Animal Farm, the works of Raymond Briggs. Thank heavens for Aardman.
Thank you French

Spirou was always better for me than tintin because it was more modern, had different writters and artists, and tackled more fantastic themes often going into sci-fi, surreal, or disparate themes. Like there's a whole comic that is more geared towards adult called "the dreaming machine" where you question if what's happening is real and everything is surreal, and in another comic it's totally different it's a historical comic about Spirou in WW2 but by a modern author
Can you do British animation next?
History of Korean Animation
Yes please
I remember watching oggy and the cockroaches WAY back in 2015 on Nickelodeon it didn’t really interest me at first because it was different compared to something like SpongeBob or the teenage mutant ninja turtles (2012)
Also that’s where the controversy came from if you’re wondering about that.
Fast forward to when someone brought up space goofs I watched that show and the cockroaches made a cameo
And it made me check it out again.
NOW i could see why people enjoy oggy it held my attention fine but I prefer space goofs a little bit better than oggy but I still enjoy it Dee Dee and Joey are certainly my favorite cockroaches
I appreciate french animation they did their jobs good also crazy creative!
There’s also this one called “fly tales” it aired on Cartoon Network UK.
