Oggy and the Cockroaches 1999

Oggy and the Cockroaches (French: Oggy et les Cafards) is a French/Canadian animated television series created by Jean-Yves Raimbaud and produced by Gaumont Multimedia for season 1 and Xilam Animation for seasons 2–8 (in co-production with Les Productions Coquerelles for season 2). It chronicles the comedic exploits and burlesque adventures of a rotund, blue cat named Oggy, whose days are always ruined by three cockroaches – Joey, Marky, and Dee Dee respectively – who regularly cause mischief at his home. The show employs the use of silent comedy, with characters not speaking and using unintelligible gibberish vocalizations, gestures, facial expressions, sound effects and sardonic laughter to communicate. Complex sequences (presenting a scene or context) are illustrated with images, sometimes in written text, speech balloons, or pictograms. In India, however, the series is notably aired on some television channels with voice-acted dialogue in Hindi and other languages. The series premiered in September 1998 on France 3, and was licensed internationally in over 190 territories.
