Lulu's Islands [6] (French : Les Mistigris, originally Lulu la Peste) is an animated children's series that premiered on 5 October 2009, on the TFOU block of France's TF1 network. [1] It is produced by Interactive Project 4 You (IP4U) of Valenciennes [7] and Patoon-Animation of Paris. [8] The show uses cutout animation for its style, and is targeted to young viewers. [2] [9]
Animals of various species live happily on an untouched archipelago called the Wonderlees. [6] One day, everything changes when a kitten named Lulu meets the first human ever to land on their shores: Peppy (or Pépin), a young shipwreck survivor turned castaway. [6] [10] [11]
Lulu's Islands began development at Paris' HLC Productions in 2005 under the title Lulu la Peste, at a cost of €137,000. [12] [13] By 2008, the budget had grown to €2,931,000. [10]
Production of the new series involves at least three crew members of another TF1 animated series, The Bellflower Bunnies : Eric Berthier, the director of Bellflower's 2nd and 3rd seasons; screenwriter Valérie Baranski; and producer Patricia Robert, who in March 2008 [14] set up Patoon-Animation exclusively for the new show. [15] Pierre Gillet, from the Belgian music and post-production outlet Dame Blanche, will serve as composer. [5] [16]
