Angels of Jarm (partially lost Milkshake! animated series; 2007-2009)
Title card.
Status: Partially Lost
Angels of Jarm is a British children's animated series made by Malou Bonicos that aired on Channel 5's Milkshake! block from 2007-2009. The series' about 4 young angels named Ellie, Mick, Rafe and Gabrielle that live together and help the children of the fictional town of Jarm overcome various problems.[1]
In 2024, the series gained meme attention, in a similar manner to Cory in the House, which the series is erroneously referred to as an anime.
Development
After the success of Bonicos' previous series The Beeps, Channel 5 approached her to make a new animated series aimed at preschoolers. In her words:
"I was so excited about this lovely new project, so eagerly accepted and started creating all the characters and their world straight away!"[2]
The network liked the pitch and ended up green-lighting the show.
Status
After it ended, the show was running in syndication on the network until 2017. Since then, only a few episodes were uploaded online. In 2021, 40 of the shows 55 were uploaded online by YouTuber [bluefrogTV] until they ended up being taken down and were re-uploaded by LMW user LovelyAngel1004. As of 2024, the rest of the episodes have yet to resurface online.
On July 12, 2024, LMW user GorillaTagAndChiknNuggitFan2010 found newspaper articles that mention the series. He explained that he found them from Malou Bonicos' Illustrator page on the series.
The following day, he found a Twitter screenshot from 2013 that had the series playing on a TV, but the episode that was played has not been identified, until July 19, 2024, where he discovered that the episode that played was "Broken Toy".
On July 29, 2024, LMW user GorillaTagAndChiknNuggitFan2010 found a partial clip of the episode Noel's Tree. The clip was later uploaded to his OmegaCofi channel on YouTube.
On August 27, 2024, LMW user GorillaTagAndChiknNuggitFan2010 received a response via contact of Malou Bonicos. She plans to find the currently missing episodes and put them in her illustration.
Malou Bonicos would seemingly delete her Illustrator article about Angels of Jarm on September 13, 2024. It's unknown if the page was wiped or the URL changed.
