Touli, the title character.

Status: Partially found

Touli le gardien des rêves (translates as Touli The Dreamkeeper in French) was a French stop-motion animated series that was originally aired in 1992.

Produced by S.F.P Productions, Canal J and France 3, it was spanning on 101 episodes of two or three minutes.

The series had no dialogue, but its title and opening theme were in French.

Premise

It was about a little clown, Touli, who lived inside a whimsical land, and whose job was packing children's dreams inside boxes and filing them out on paper. He had magical powers, being described by the show theme as the "number one magician" (he had a "1" written on his chest).

Several things disrupted him on his job, including among others magic sentient slippers that forced themselves to be worn by Touli (much to his annoyance), or a short-haired gorilla who was cold and asked him to knit him a sweater (with whom he then goes skating).

Airings

According to some other viewers who caught it on TV, it was originally shown on public TV channel France 3. In the mid-1990s, it was also screened on overseas French-language channel CFI, among other now-obscure cartoons (as it was possibly cheaper to license).

Thanks to the recently discovered episodes with Persian text, we can assume that the series aired in Iran as well. Small pieces of information about a Russian version are circulating too.

The found episodes have been on the Persian website TeleWebion. About 51 episodes were spotted back in 2014, but less are available now.

Most of the available episodes have been mirrored (thanks to user Don't Feed The Kitty) on channel Super 80-90s !!!, and one on PepsiWithCoke's channel.
