My French immersion elementary students love to watch Heidi. As a child I used to watch these shape changing blobs… maybe called Barbapapa? It’s a play on words for the french word for cotton candy. 🙂 As a Canadian kid, I also watched a weekly show called Bagatelle. Thanks for walking us down memory lane!

In reply to nela. Thank you SO MUCH!!!! Most of these suggestions were from French readers, and the videos were pegged as "must-see." Racist depictions are NOT must-sees for me!

Thanks for the list! Love the readers’ suggestions as well. However I would caution with Asterix and Tintin- I grew up with both these books, but realized as I got older that there are episodes that are quite racist (especially the depiction on black people- atrocious!) and xenophobic (Tintin’s depiction of Muslim people is very stereotyped). Even though these shows can be educational and entertaining, i wouldn’t let my children watch them- it wouldn’t be healthy for their self esteem.

I am currently learning French and I love cartoons. I like “Le Petit Nicolas” but I love the English version of “Babar” too and was glad to see a French version on this list. Thank you for sharing this great list of cartoons!

Nobody mentioned “les Mondes engloutis” for slightly older kids 6 or more…

And I know it’s not a cartoon but a movie..Kirikou et la sorceresse or Kirikou et les betes sauvages are too amazingly beautiful french movies. Some of the scenes with the sorceress can be a bit scary for little ones but they are also very philosophical and have a beautiful resolution, even for the bad sorceress! Definitely incontournable!!

I used to watch a couple of cartoons I loved about kids studying for future jobs- Vas-y Julie (I’m actually not sure how this is spelled) who I think was a mechanic, one about a little girl who did some sort of gymnastics, a girl who wanted to be an actress, and a boy who liked to do soccer (football). They may have been from other countries but I watched them in french. I remember liking them very much. I think it was around 1989.
