Revision as of 21:59, 28 July 2017
Fantômette is a French children's superhero TV series that originally aired in 1993. It was made of 21 episodes (though 26 were originally planned).
The show was based on a famous series of children's novels of the same name by Georges Chaulet, that has been running from 1961 until 2011.
Premise
12-year-old Françoise Dupont fights crime and solves cases while dressed as a masked vigilante: Fantômette (which basically means "little ghost"). She uses her skills to fight supervillains such as the evil mad scientist Silver Mask.
Her best friends are Boule ("ball") and Ficelle ("string"), a fat and a thin girl respectively, who help her in her cases and also serve as comic reliefs.
Loss
For a long time, no episodes can be found anywhere to this day.
The only footage that was remaining is of the opening. Other available visual media are some production photographs.
The TV series was apparently not that popular - hence the lack of episodes made - although it kept airing on French TV until the late 1990s.
Some episodes were sold on VHS, but because production was cut short, those tapes are extremely rare.
An animated series based on the books was also made in 1999, setting the story in a more "futuristic" setting. This show, in contrast to its predecessor, is much more accessible to this day (and thus can confuse searches).
Found episodes
As of late 2016, some VHS-recorded episodes were uploaded online by YouTube user oO_Garland_Oo.
