La Bande à Ovide, a.k.a. Ovide and the Gang, is a 1980s animated TV show produced by the Canadian animation studio CinéGroupe (who also produced Mega Babies, Sharky and George and The Little Flying Bears) in association with Belgium's Odec Kid Cartoons.[1] It ran on Télévision de Radio Canada starting October 17, 1987[2] to 1988 and also goes by the names 'Ovide Video' and 'Ovide's Video Show'; the series gained popularity in the United Kingdom when it was broadcast on the Children's BBC service in 1988 and 1989 in a Friday afternoon slot, while in the US, it was aired on Nick Jr. in 1992 and 1997.
The characters were created and designed by Bernard Godi in cooperation with Belgian comics artist and animator Nic Broca, who had previously designed the Snorks for SEPP. The show premiered in the UK on January 17, 1990.
Synopsis[edit]
The show stars a blue platypus named Ovide who lives on a non-descript South Seas island, where he has adventures with his friends and thwarts Cy and Bobo, the show's villains.
Main characters[edit]
- Ovide – The main character of the show. A duck-billed platypus, he is the unofficial leader of the group, and is smart, responsible and kind hearted.
- Saphron – Saphron is Ovide's cousin, and also a platypus. He is a good cook and gardener. Saphron is voiced by Terrence Scammell.
- Polo – A red lizard who always carries around a broom. The island's janitor and the 'tough guy' of the group, and he's always trying and failing to catch Woody, a destructive woodworm. Polo is voiced by Terrence Scammell.
- Groaner – A white toucan, and one of Ovide's friends. His name comes from the fact that he's always telling weak jokes which make people groan. Groaner is voiced by Dean Hagopian.
- Doe, Rae & Mi – Protagonist koalas, always on twigs or the couch. Their names come from the first three solfège syllables, and they visually represent the three wise monkeys: Doe wears headphones hearing music (Hear no Evil), Rae wears sunglasses (See no Evil), and Mi almost always covers his mouth, and sometimes hiccups (Speak no Evil).
- Matilda – A female kangaroo. Not originally from the island, she mistook the others for cannibals and hid from them, but then warmed up to them. She is skilled with herbal remedies and with the boomerang. She is first seen in episode 18.
- Cy Sly – The primary antagonist of the show. He is a vain, scheming, megalomaniacal python. He is jealous of Ovide and wishes to overthrow him and gain control of the island. Cy is voiced by A.J. Henderson.
- Bobo – Cy's bumbling, Keel-billed toucan minion and only friend. Refers to Cy as 'Boss'. Despite his association with Cy, he has a good heart and wishes Ovide and his friends no ill-will. Bobo is also let off the hook a lot, unlike Cy who always suffers the consequences. Bobo is voiced by Terrence Scammell.
- Woody – A mischievous woodworm who tunnels around the island. He is known to alter the state of bowling games and gnaw holes into the base of Ovide's home. He is in constant conflict with Polo.
- Alvin – A blue three-toed sloth who lives in the forest of the island. His role in the cartoon is (more often than not) very minor and the only word he can pronounce is 'Aye'.
- Newscaster Lady – A pink-haired platypus whose name has not been revealed. She is the constantly-occurring face on television and the information she provides is beneficial to Ovide (and even Cy at times).
• Super Cy - A superhero from Cy's imagination. He has a 'C' on his body. His catchphrase is 'Super Cy to the rescue!'. He saves the world with Fantastic Bobo.
• Fantastic Bobo - A superhero from Bobo's imagination and Super Cy's sidekick. His catchphrase is 'Me and Cy will save you!'. He saves the world with Super Cy.
Role of television in Ovide[edit]
Television plays an important role in this series. In every episode, Ovide and his friends are watching a programme; Ovide carries a brown briefcase which contains a portable TV set; and there's a wandering TV on the island that approaches the characters at crucial moments and provides information important to the plot. Every time Cy sees the TV, he apparently becomes entranced by it.#

How an animated cartoon is madeSimpoo Chimpoo Dijiye Video Mein Cartoon

Back in 1972, when I was working on 'The Kidnapping', the project that was to become my first successful, 'official' film, I made a little brochure about the production process. The brochure's pages are reproduced here. I hope you find something useful in them. Many of the subjects are also covered on my other pages, so do browse my site!
The story is developed as a 'storyboard', a giant-sized comic strip. As the story develops, new drawings are added to the storyboard. Since the drawings are pinned onto a cork board, it is easy to make alterations to the story. | ||||||||||||
The backgrounds are painted on cardboard or celluloid with tempera, acrylic or sometimes even oil paints. The backgrounds are the 'landscape' in which the characters are moving, and they are often made into large-size panoramas, 'pan backgrounds', considerably larger than the picture format. The camera follows the characters as they move across the background. This background is painted in a format suitable for a vertical camera move. | ||||||||||||
Before the tedious drawing work can begin, the dialogue is recorded on tape and then transferred onto magnetic film. This filmstrip is analyzed in a sound reader, and every syllable is registered on an 'exposure sheet' - necessary to obtain perfect synchronization between sound and picture. The sheet is divided into many rows, each corresponding to one frame of film. Music and sound effects aren't usually recorded until after the film is finally cut, and an optical sound track is then prepared and printed onto the film, see below. | ||||||||||||
Now the real work begins. Every second of finished film consists of 24 frames, requiring 12 to 24 drawings, depending upon the speed of movement - faster movements need more drawings per second, slower moves can be animated with less, with three or even more frames shot of every drawing. The difference between two successive frames can be almost negligible, an arm moves a fraction of a millimeter, for instance. The animated drawings are filmed on black & white film to check the smoothness of the movements (this is called a pencil test). | ||||||||||||
In order to superimpose the animated characters on the backgrounds, the drawings are copied onto transparent sheets of celluloid or plastic, usually called 'cels'. The lines are traced in ink, and the colors are filled in on the reverse side of the cels, in order to get completely even colors when viewed from the front. | ||||||||||||
The filming is carried out on an 'animation stand'. Sometimes the picture is divided into several levels (4 on this 'multiplane' stand), separated by about 30 cm, or 12'. The fore- middle- and backgrounds of the landscape are on different levels, so a certain 3-dimensional effect is achieved, especially when the camera or background is moving. | ||||||||||||
To make an 8-minute animated cartoon you need:
and of course a LOT OF INSPIRATION |
Here are some of the backgrounds I painted for this film:
