Contents

Overview

Gaspard and Lisa engage in various adventures and activities. Though they try to do good deeds, their behavior sometimes causes disturbance to other people, especially Mr. Huget (pronounced hoo-zhay). They say, "Uh-oh, catastrophe!" when they learn that they have created a problem, but "Yes, triumph!" when they fix the problem.

Characters

This is a list of the characters in Gaspard and Lisa. [2] In order:

Main

Gaspard's family

  • Charles (voiced by Robert Naylor) is Gaspard's older brother. He is a chess enthusiast and always wears headphones around his neck. Though he acts like a snob to Gaspard and Lisa sometimes, he also shows some acts of kindness.
  • Gaspard's Dad (voiced by Simon Greenall) wears a blue and green striped tie. He works as a newspaper columnist and even as a competitive cyclist. [6] [7] He has an allergy to cats. [8] [9]
  • Gaspard's Mom (voiced by Teresa Gallagher [10] ) is a housewife and wears a purple pearl necklace.
    • Gallagher also voices Mamie Mathilde, Gaspard's paternal grandmother who lives in a blue house far from the city of Paris, and Lisa's Maman, whose appearance is exactly the same as Gaspard's Mom except the skin colour is the same as that of Lisa.

Lisa's family

  • Victoria (voiced by Bessie Cursons [11] ) is Lisa's older sister. Both she and Charles share the distinction of being occasionally snobbish to Gaspard and Lisa, although Charles is slightly nicer. She also seems to resent Lisa when she pushed her little sister's books off the shelf or scatter the puzzle Lisa made. Her only compliment to Lisa occurred when Lisa learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels.
  • Lila (voiced by Taylor Barber) is Lisa's baby sister. She wears a purple onesie. A full-length episode of the series tells the story of when Lila was born and how Lisa was jealous at first but then began to love her sister.
  • Lisa's Papa (voiced by Tim Whitnall) wears a gray jacket.
  • Lisa's Grandfather (voiced by Paul Soles) has a very deep voice and wears a brown vest. He is a bit of a magician, enjoys biscuits and also has a wife whom he has been married to for four decades.
