Based on the legendary South Louisiana artist/cartoonist/traiteur/ventriloquist/actor Ken Meaux a.k.a. The Great Boudini, the series focuses on a young, determined magician voiced by French Immersion teacher and award-winning author Kirby Jambon on his quest to become a famous TV personality. Billeaudeaux and Woolworth have created a colorful world of characters to join Boudini and his silly antics which include the skateboarding, guitar-strumming, whip smart scholar Colinda, the laid back but learned marsh engineer, T-Boy, as well as Meaux’s trusty alligator sidekick, Coco le Cocodrie. Creole Cartoon Company, as the name suggests, aims to highlight each corner of Louisiana’s French regions- from the Crescent City, through the Atchafalaya Basin, into Acadiana, up to Natchitoches, and beyond in Les Aventures de Boudini et Ses Amis. The series is a perfect educational component for French immersion students kindergarten through 8th grade, adults interested in learning Cajun French, or anyone who loves Louisiana colors and characters.
Louisiana natives Marshall Woodworth and Philippe Billeaudeaux of Creole Cartoon Company have created an animated series in collaboration with executive producer William McGrew that sees South Louisiana, it's culture, and the French language through the lens of a wacky gang of unlikely heroes who are determined protect their magical Lac Bijou against the forces of evil.
