About Charlie and Lola

The Charlie and Lola series of books have been adapted by Tiger Aspect into an animated cartoon television series, using a collage style of animation which accurately captures the style of the original books. 2D cel animation, paper cutout, fabric design, real textures, photomontage, and archive footage are all employed and subsequently animated in a software application called CelAction.[1] The cartoons are also notable for their use of children's voices, rather than adult voice actors, a technique pioneered by the Peanuts television specials. Both the books and the cartoon also mirror Peanuts' technique of never showing adults.

The first television series of 26 episodes (11 minutes each) was commissioned by Michael Carrington at the BBC and first broadcast on November 7, 2005.[2] The second series of 26 episodes (again, 11 minutes each) started broadcasting on CBeebies on October 2, 2006 (with the morning broadcast also being shown on BBC Two) a third series followed. In the television series, Charlie is seven and Lola is four, and goes to school (her teacher is called Mrs. Hansen). In episodes of both the first and second series, Charlie celebrates his birthday (in "It's a Secret..." and "This Is Actually My Party"), although this doesn't seem to affect his age in other episodes.
