I wanted to highlight something that came at as a surprise to me is that as I already said this this was a French TV show. I’m just curious to know how the French felt about their show being taken by the English. I couldn’t find much about it but I did read a snippet from the Guardian that said Danot was less happy with Dougla’s English name. Apparently because he was convinced Thompson was having a sly dig at the French president Charles de Gaulle. To be honest I’d have thought they’d be more of a conflict since the French and English don’t have the best of relations with one another. However Serge Danotwas not a fan of the colour green and so I think that was respected by Eric Thompson who mostly avoided the colour.

L’année dernière, je passai quelques jours de vacances à Nantes. Je profitai pour faire ce qu’on appelle « le voyage », il s’agit d’une randonnée dans la ville afin de voir des œuvres exposées ou des bâtiments... Bref, c’est une randonnée mêlant marche et art. Le voyage passait par le cimetière de la Bouteillerie que je n’avais jamais visité parce que je ne connaissais aucun résident. Toutefois, la visite du cimetière fut particulièrement agréable ainsi qu’intéressante. J’y découvris surtout  la tombe de Serge Danot, le créateur du manège enchanté et le père de Pollux le chien.

Je n’ai connu cette émission pour enfants que tardivement, enfin, ma mère avait dix ans quand cela fut diffusé pour la première fois à la télévision. J’ai donc trouvé cette tombe magnifique et décidé de la photographier.

Siège du Hellfest Cugand Vendée 85 . Dès le XVIe siècle, les moulins de la Feuillée dépendant des seigneurs de Clisson, sont exploités par les familles de meuniers Richard, Ouvrard, Chateigner. A la fin du XVIIe siècle, ils sont transformés en deux moulins à papier. En 1793, ils sont incendiés lors des troubles révolutionnaires puis reconstruits par Paul Louis Dagnet, «entrepreneur de manufacture de papier ». En 1837, les moulins sont vendus à l\'industriel nantais Paul Chéguillaume. En 1840, le site est transformé en filature de coton. Racheté en 1896, le site est converti en tannerie et mégisserie puis en 1923 en chamoiserie. En 1966, la Feuillée devient le siège de studios de cinéma et télévision de Serge Danot, le créateur de séries télévisées « Manège Enchanté », « les Poucetofs », téléfilms « les grandes batailles du passé », la comédie musicale « les enfants de Cigalune ». En 1995, Mme Martine Danot poursuit les tournages durant quelques années. Depuis le site sert d\'habitation et bureaux pour l\'association qui organise le Hellfest chaque année à Clisson. 10 octobre 2022 Dominique Dubois #cugand#vendee #hellfest #pollux #clisson#igershellfest#paysdelaloire #festival https://www.instagram.com/p/CjkOYLgNWuE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT - ORIGINAL BBC 1970's EPISODE

Now if you want overdubbing in another language to another script as the original was in French and lost, then there’s the Magic Roundabout by Serge Danot, who was the French geezer responsible, with the English version by Eric Thompson.

Kiddies stuff was wonderfully surreal.

Feedback session by Andrea McSwan

After showcasing my current work in progress I was suggested another cartoon to which I could influence my background design on known as ‘The Magic Roundabout’.

“The Magic Roundabout is a BBC children’s television program, later to be aired on Channel 4 was created in France by Serge Danot in 1963. The original pilot programs were filmed in Serge Danot bathroom, the French version of the show was known in France as Le Manège enchanté.”

This cartoon has similar features with initial influence ‘Pocoyo’ and could be seen as an influence for future development of my story.

168. Dougal and the Blue Cat (1970)

5/10

This is a feature based on the television show The Magic Roundabout, both originally being in French, and dubbed into English without translated scripts to work from. This means that the English show, The Magic Roundabout, and the French version, Le Menage enchante, contain totally different stories and characters, accompanying the same images. The name, of course, refers to what British people call a roundabout (a carousel) and not an actual roundabout. The English TV show was very popular with adults as well as children, for its saturnine sense of humor and unusual cast of characters (I myself particularly liked the guitar-playing rabbit, Dylan, who we are first introduced to as he is watching his mushrooms grow.)

In the Garden, where the characters live, a newcomer arrives – a blue cat named Buxton. Everyone is enamored with him except for the main character, the surly Skye terrier, Dougal. He knows Buxton is up to something, but no one believes him until Buxton imprisons everyone, except Dougal, beneath an abandoned factory, revealing his plot to turn the entire world blue. Dougal then must work alone to overthrow Buxton, the "Blue King."

Most of the characters are voiced by one man, whose voice I personally didn't like, though I understand he was the one writing the English language stories, and is the reason the show was successful in English to begin with. I also found the generally hostile attitude of the characters, particularly Dougal, to be disturbing, especially considering the target audience theoretically consisting mainly of children.
