It is difficult to trace the exact animated work production by the Cartooneurs. Their official filmography only lists their mainstream animated series beginning wiht Bouli in 1989, however their demo reel shows many ads and miscellaneous material.

==Demo Reel==
Their official website showed a demo reel (that can only be read through the old RealPlayer format). It notably begins with original footage of an anthropomorphic pig who says: ''"Hello, my name is Jacques, and I am going to transform!"'' He then begins to shapeshift to Batman, and a series of animated screens begins scrolling, showing miscellaneous footage from ads and cartoons. Jacques's transformation is temporarily put back in focus where he shapeshifts into Charlie Chaplin. The demo reel then ends with the animated opening theme of the old French TV program ''Avis de recherche''.
 
A lot of this footage has not been identified to this day.
 
Some of it seems contradictory, as it shows a scene from the 1983 animated film ''Katy the Caterpillar'', and no official data cites the Cartooneurs as participating to the production of this movie.
 
The demo reel can be dated to at least 1999, as it is set to the song ''Bodyrock'' by Moby, originally released in July of 1999.

Status: Partially Found

Les Cartooneurs Associés ("The Associated Cartoonists") is a French animation studio that was founded in 1982 by Denis Olivieri. It has worked on a variety of animated series, such as Martin Morning and Mummy Nanny.

However, in its early days from the 1980s to the 1990s, it also animated a variety of animated commercials and other interstitial material that is now rare or lost.

It is difficult to trace the exact animated work production by the Cartooneurs. Their official filmography only lists their mainstream animated series beginning with Bouli in 1989, however, their demo reel shows many ads and miscellaneous material.

Demo Reel

Their official website showed a demo reel (that can only be read through the old RealPlayer format). It notably begins with original footage of an anthropomorphic pig who says: "Hello, my name is Jacques, and I am going to transform!" He then begins to shapeshift to Batman, and a series of animated screens begins scrolling, showing miscellaneous footage from ads and cartoons. Jacques's transformation is temporarily put back in focus where he shapeshifts into Charlie Chaplin. The demo reel then ends with the animated opening theme of the old French TV program Avis de recherche.

A lot of this footage has not been identified to this day.

Some of it seems contradictory, as it shows a scene from the 1983 animated film Katy the Caterpillar, and no official data cites the Cartooneurs as participating to the production of this movie.

The demo reel can be dated to at least 1999, as it is set to the song Bodyrock by Moby, originally released in July of 1999.
