Oggy and the Cockroaches was a French animated television series created by the late Jean-Yves Raimbaud and produced by Xilam Animation (previously Gaumont Multimédia) from 1998 to 2018, revolving around a blue cat constantly attacking three sadistic cockroaches.
Shortly after the success of Space Goofs, producer Marc du Pontavice asked series co-creator Jean-Yves Raimbaud to create an new animated series in order to "counter the surge of superheroes, mangas and Franco-Belgian comic book heroes."[1] As a result, a short pilot was created in 1997 to see if it would make it to a full-fledged series, which then was greenlit for production a year later.
