Archibald the Koala is an animatedchildren's television series produced by French company Millimages in association with HIT Entertainment. The show began in September 1998 on ITV through its children's block CITV in the UK and on Cartoon Network through its international preschool showcase program, Small World in the United States.[2] The show itself is based on the books written by Paul Cox.[3] The show was made in both French and English versions.
This series is set on a secluded island called "Rastepappe", which is populated by anthropomorphic koalas and badgers. Its city, Koalaville is filled with various strange characters including a nervous mayor, a hopeless inventor, a lazy fisherman, a short-tempered chef and a bossy painter. The stress of the mayor's job causes him to have trouble with migraines, or "meeegranes" as he still pronounces it.
There are always strange things going on in Rastepappe, so Archibald, the trustworthy detective, is put on the job.
