Adventures of the Little Koala (コアラボーイコッキィ Koala Boy Kokki) is a children's anime series from the mid-1980s directed by Takashi Tanazawa. It originally aired in Japan from October 4th, 1984 to March 28th, 1985, on TV Tokyo, for a total of 26 episodes.
History
Several well-known companies in Japanese animation were involved in the production of the series. Topcraft, a company that worked with Hayao Miyazaki early in his career (on Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind), helped in animating the series. It was produced by Tohokushinsha Film Corporation, who is known for their work on many anime series and the mainstream American film Lost in Translation.
After airing in Japan, the anime was later picked up and dubbed in English and French by the Canadian company Cinar Films and distributed by Viacom Enterprises. It aired in the United States from June 1st, 1987, to April 2nd, 1993, on Nickelodeon, mostly in the Nick Jr. block.[1] The series quickly became popular during its run, as dubbed re-runs aired for longer on Nickelodeon than the original series in Japan. This run also led to the series' only home-video release, a VHS tape titled, The Adventures of the Little Koala and Friends: Laura and the Mystery Egg, which contains the English dubbed-episodes of four of the 52 episodes.[2]
Status
As the anime found most of its popularity in the United States and the Arab world, the original Japanese audio has fallen into obscurity. While versions of the English dub have been found online for sale,[3] the original Japanese episodes haven't resurfaced in any form online to this day.
