Zoe and Charlie (original French title: Léa et Gaspard) is a French-Canadian animated series, consisting of 26 episodes that are each 5 minutes long. It originally aired on channel Canal + in France in 1993.

Plot

The protagonists are Zoe, a thin sporty girl who is a health nut, and Charlie, a younger boy who is pudgy and enjoys fatty foods. Each episode was a parody of a fairy tale or famous mythical story that would center around eating well.

Recurring characters apart from the leading duo were several talking animals, including chickens, a horse, a cat and wolves (who would often be the villains).

Availability

The episodes never came out on VHS or DVD, and the last time it was reaired in France was in 2003 on Fox Kids.

It was dubbed in English and at least shown on TVOntario (a Canadian channel) on the kid's block TVOKids: The Crawlspace.

The only episodes that are available to see online (whatever language it is) are episodes 21 "Ogres Ain't What They Used To Be" (Les Ogres d'Antan) and episode 7 "The Nose Knows" (Le Palais des Cinq Sens) from the VideoCassettes YouTube channel.
