Toopy and Binoo is a Canadian children's television series broadcast by Treehouse TV, Télé Québec, and produced by Spectra Animation which has since become Echo Media.[1] The television series has currently changed to a live action television show titled Toopy and Binoo Vroom Vroom Zoom.[2]
Format
Toopy and Binoo is an animated series for preschoolers based on the popular books created by Dominique Jolin.[3] Each episode stars an anthropomorphic mouse named Toopy and his friend, a silent cat named Binoo.[4]
Creation
Toupie et Binou was the original title of the children books collection written by Dominique Jolin; the books also appeared in English translation as Washington and Deecee. Binoo then appeared in a small series of his own. Echo Media then brought them to television, both in English and French version, dubbing their English names to "Toopy and Binoo".[5]
