Thirty years since the last episode wrapped production.... But whether a workplace discussion or nostalgic reminiscence - beer in hand around an autumn campfire... should the conversation drift to the television of our childhood as it often does, somewhere between Transformers and Thundercats, The Raccoons is always mentioned fondly, usually with someone chiming in a line from Run With Us... That's a country-wide phenomenon. You've helped raise an entire generation of Canadians who carried the values of love, compassion, of friendship, and the message of environmental importance as they left the Evergreen Forest decades ago and went on to start families and careers of their own and today, they still echo it as they fumble middle-age. You put heart and soul behind The Raccoons and it shows, it always has. That's not a cartoon, that's a legacy. And beautiful one at that. Thanks man.
That pitch board for The Christmas Special is absolutely beautiful! The colors are amazing!! Thank you Kevin for sharing this and giving us a view of the lake!! ❤❤❤
This is great seeing the storyboards! I don't think I've ever seen John Bianchi's character designs before. Just looking at the way Julie and Tommy in particular are drawn in the original pitch storyboard, I wonder if it was made before or after it was decided to have the first special be animated instead of live action with puppets.
Can't wait to potentially buy the show on DVD. Hopefully. Also I like how you showed the story for the episode "End of the Line!" That's the episode that introduced me to this amazing series
Since we've been shown some storyboards here and some character sheets and animation cels/backgrounds in the previous video, I'm curious now if Kevin has anything from the writing and voice/sfx/music recording processes or some behind the scenes stories regarding these.
A brilliant cartoon! In 1991, in Siberia, my friends and I watched this miracle for 6 years. I still remember that magical time!

Thanks to Kevin Gillis for giving me such a wonderful childhood watching it. We just need a brand new Series now
Great to see the process. I didn’t realize how inspired by nature this show was. It wasn’t just any ordinary cartoon.

I know cyril schneer is a steriotypical industrialist character with a cigar but the way he was drawn he reminds me of Pierre Trudeau
I Love This Show it's Pretty Good 🤩💙💚🧡💋

Two questions:
1: What's the situation about the reboot?
2: Will you upload the french dub on the channel?
