Production and telecast

The Lisa series was first produced as a series of cinematically-released short films. The first short film, Lisa får en barnvakt, premiered in June 1996 [4] and was released as a book the following year. Two further short films, Lisa hos tandläkaren and Lisa på picknick, were granted funding from the Swedish Film Institute in February 1997 [5] and released in January 1998. [6] [7]

The series was aired on SVT beginning in 1999. [8] It also aired on KIKA in Germany. In addition with English voices, it screened on Nick Jr. in the United Kingdom [9] and HBO Family in the US, [10] as well as distributed internationally by Fox Kids. [11] There were also some books made based on the series. [12] [13] The series was narrated by Gösta Ekman. [14]

Carlsson left Happy Life for a few years after having co-founded the studio, but Happy Life went on to produce more episodes of Lisa without Carlsson's involvement nor approval. Carlsson then sued his former employer for copyright infringement, a lawsuit he won in arbitration by January 2002. [10]
