[net.comics] French animation - know anything?

bllklly@uwmacc.UUCP (Bill Kelly) (03/12/85)

While on vacation in France, I turned on the tube.  There was a very nice
animated space adventure, which I thought at first was Starblazers.  But
the credits showed all French names.  I can no longer remember the name (I
don't know French anyway, so what am I saying?)  but I liked the animation.
They had an interesting technique of doing zooms and pans, where e.g. the
foreground characters would go out of focus as a distant spaceship came
into focus.  Can anyone identify the show or shed more light on French
cartoons?
   P.S.  They also had a wonderful variety/talk show spoof hosted by two
puppets, a cat and an ostrich, called Telechat!

	When I was living in France (about 5 years ago) all the animation
was Japanese shows with French dubbing. I would not be surprised if French
television showed just the French credits for the show, with maybe a small
byline somewhere saying it was originally some other show done by the
Japanese.
