Pablo the Little Red Fox is a pre-school children's animated series that originally ran from 28 September to 17 November 1999 on BBC One and BBC Two (part of CBBC). The series is a British-French co-production between Red Fox Productions and Millimages, and was produced in association with the BBC, ZDF and ZDF Enterprises.
The series centres on a little red city fox called Pablo and his siblings called Pumpkin and Poppy, their parents, Red Fox and Rose, their friends, a dog named Baxter, a hedgehog named Helena, a cat named Finbar, a frog called Fromage, a seagull called Gil Gull and an owl named Madam Owl.
The action often takes place at night, when three little fox cubs, Pablo, Poppy, and Pumpkin, go out and explore the city, from circus tents, artist's studios and the local museum. Pablo often leads them astray but somehow they always get out of trouble and find a way back home, to their cozy den at the bottom of Hannah's garden.
The graphic style of the cartoons has intense colours and white outlines, reminiscent of silk paintings and Hannah Giffard's original water colour illustrations. The series concept was created by Hannah Giffard, the writer and illustrator of the original books called 'Red Fox' and 'Red Fox on the Move' published by Frances Lincoln. Hannah Giffard worked closely on the series as an editor and creator of many of the story lines. She also worked with the art director and director to create the characters and backgrounds for the series.[ citation needed ]
