Additional voices

Television specials (1988–1991)

On April 9, 1988, HBO aired an animated television special titled Madeline. The teleplay was an adaption of the first book written by Ludwig Bemelmans. The later series was written by Judy Rothman who would become a writer, story editor, and lyricist for nearly all subsequent Madeline animated projects. The special was produced by DIC Enterprises and Cinar (now part of WildBrain). [5] [6] The special featured Christopher Plummer as the narrator, [7] and featured original music and songs by veteran Sesame Street songwriter and composer Joe Raposo [8] [9] with lyrics by Rothman. The cast for all six specials is as follows: [4]

The special was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (One Hour or Less). [10] In 1990, the special was released onto VHS by Hi-Tops Video. The success of the special led to CINAR and France Animation producing an additional five specials – all adapted by Rothman from the other five original books – for The Family Channel. [5] The cast of the original special and Plummer all returned for the subsequent specials [7] These specials featured music by Jeffrey Zahn, who replaced Raposo after his death in 1989. The theme song from the original special, "I'm Madeline", was reprised in each of the subsequent specials. The specials were released on video by Golden Book Video.

Television series (1993–2001)

With the success of the specials, The Family Channel commissioned a television series by DIC, which had been involved in the first of the six specials below instead of the rest. The first season aired a total of 20 produced episodes from 1993 to 1994. [5] Christopher Plummer reprised his role as narrator again while the opening theme is "I'm Madeline". [7] However, most of the voice actors from the specials were replaced. In addition, Jeffrey Zahn was replaced by Andy Street; compared to the previous specials, however, the series featured only one song per episode (a few of them with a reprise/finale) in addition to said themes.

In 1995, an additional 13 episodes were produced by DIC for ABC under the title The New Adventures of Madeline. [5] A new theme song, called "Hats Off to Madeline", was used as the new opening theme, with the music by Andy Street and lyrics by Judy Rothman; [11] some early airings of those episodes featured "I'm Madeline", but sung by the new voice cast. Most of the voices of the children characters were replaced, with Andrea Libman assuming the title role, while Plummer, Louise Vallance and French Tickner are the only three members returning from the voice cast.

Shortly after its airing on ABC, both the network and DIC were acquired by The Walt Disney Company. The 33 produced episodes began to air in reruns on the Playhouse Disney block of Disney Channel. In March 1998, DIC announced the launch of a direct-to-video division that would produce films that Disney would distribute worldwide through Buena Vista Home Entertainment, with a Madeline film being the first of the films they would produce. [12] The following year, the title was revealed as Madeline: Lost in Paris , and was released in August of the same year. [13] Most of the cast members from the 1995 iteration returned with Lauren Bacall and Jason Alexander also voicing new roles. The success of the film led to DIC producing 26 new episodes for Playhouse Disney. [14] Plummer left the narration due to it being taken over by Christopher Gaze. The show won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program.

Two more films followed ahead - My Fair Madeline, which aired on Nickelodeon in November 2002 as part of the DIC Movie Toons series, and Madeline in Tahiti.

Madeline has continued to be shown in syndication. In the 2006-2007 season, the series was shown on CBS' KOL Secret Slumber Party Saturday morning block. [5] Qubo also aired reruns of the series from October 6, 2018 to February 22, 2021. [15] The series was also included in the On-Demand section of Sprout from 2015 to 2017, when the channel was rebranded to Universal Kids. As of September 2019, all broadcast and home video rights of Madeline are owned by WildBrain.

Films (1999–2005)

Madeline: Lost in Paris (1999)

On August 3, 1999, Buena Vista Home Video through Walt Disney Home Video released the feature-length film Madeline: Lost in Paris , featuring Madeline being drawn into a scam by her supposed "Uncle" Horst and finding the true meaning to the word "family". As with Season 2 and eventually Season 3 of the series, Andrea Libman reprised her role as Madeline. [18] [19]

The film was later re-released on DVD on April 3, 2010, by Shout! Factory.

My Fair Madeline (2002)

In 2002, as a part of the DIC Movie Toons series of Television films, DIC produced a film, titled My Fair Madeline, where Madeline is falsely accused of misbehavior on a trip to the Louvre and is sent to a London Finishing School, while attempting to foil the plot of two thieves. The voice cast was almost entirely replaced for the film, with Chantal Strand voicing Madeline and most notably featuring Whoopi Goldberg as Miss Clavel. Coincidentally, Goldberg played Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act . Deloris is a nun while Miss Clavel is coincidentally a nun as well.

The film was originally aired on November 17, 2002, on Nickelodeon and was later released onto VHS and DVD by MGM Home Entertainment followed on with international airings on Disney Channel, Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney.

Madeline in Tahiti (2005)

In 2005, DIC produced another film, titled Madeline in Tahiti, which is the final Madeline production to have been created. The film features Madeline and her friends going on a vacation to Tahiti to stop Miss Clavel from retiring, with Pepito sneaking along, as well as stopping a villainous plot to erupt the Tahiti-nui volcano. Chantal Strand reprised her role as Madeline while other characters were recast or reprised their roles from My Fair Madeline; most notably, Ashleigh Ball voiced both Danielle and Nona.

The film was originally going to be released on DVD in the United States by Walt Disney Home Entertainment [20] in 2006, but this release never saw the light of the day. It was, however, released on DVD in some regions in 2007 through other distributors, and was eventually released in the United States on iTunes and Amazon Video in 2015 and YouTube in 2020.

The 2000 series was released by Lions Gate Home Entertainment and Trimark Home Video in 2001 and 2002 on all VHS and DVD sets. In these DVD sets, the theme song was changed to a different song titled "Our Madeline" to match the Sing-a-Long versions.

In 2008, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released 2 DVDs titled "Next Stop, America" and "Meet Me in Paris", each containing 3 episodes.

In 2010, Shout! Factory released 5 single-disc collections of the series.
