Story
Chaplin & Co is a 104 x six-minute series (also available as half hours) Based on the movies and gags of Charlie Chaplin, the kids’ series features the antics of an animated Chaplin with his trademark bowler hat and cane set in contemporary New York. The episodes have been inspired by sketches and gags culled from some 70 short films made by Chaplin involving his trademark bowler-hatted vagabond character, who sports a toothbrush moustache, ill-fitting suit and twirling cane. The animated shorts - aimed at children aged six and above - do not have any dialogue, which makes it easy to sell the series overseas, as no translation is required
The series will premiere on France Télévisions at the end of this year and is set to launch thereafter on France 3.
International broadcasters already on board include DR Denmark, RTP Portugal and TRBF Belgium.
