Oggy Oggy

Oggy Oggy is a French preschool computer-animated television series created by Jean Cayrol and Cédric Guarneri, and produced by Xilam with the participation of France Télévisions. It is a spin-off prequel to Oggy and the Cockroaches, based on the character by Jean-Yves Raimbaud and billed as the first French Netflix Original, in terms of animated series. The series follows the adventures of Oggy Oggy, a kitten version of Oggy who is free from the mayhem of the cockroaches, Joey, Dee Dee, and Marky. It was released on August 24, 2021.

Plot

The series follows the wild childhood of Oggy Oggy, who is Oggy when he was a kitten, freed from the mayhem of the cockroaches (because in this series, Joey, Dee Dee, and Marky don’t actually appear), who goes on heartfelt adventures with his friends (Mallow and Sporty) in a world where everything's made out of kids' toys.

Characters

Unlike the original series, Oggy Oggy takes place in a town where cats happily reside (though mischievous cats can show up at times). Peculiarly enough, Jack and Olivia (who are both cats) are absent in Oggy Oggy, but are seen (with the show's 2D art style) on a framed photo in "Santa's Christmas". The cockroaches, Bob, and other characters are completely absent in Oggy Oggy.

• Oggy Oggy - The titular character, he is an optimistic and fun-loving kitten. He is Oggy when he was a kitten, before he ever met the cockroaches. Oggy Oggy is the only character who communicates with sound effects of a cat, rather than being voiced. Like his Oggy and the Cockroaches counterpart, he has a light blue body, black dotted eyes, red nose, white stomach and feet.
• Mallow - Oggy Oggy's best friend. He is a kitten with yellow glasses, light green polo, black overalls, and white shoes with grey laces.
• Sporty - Oggy Oggy's other best friend. She is a kitten with white sports visor, dark green polo, white shorts and shoes with two stripes on each side.

Other characters in Oggy Oggy's hometown include:

• Grandma - Implied to be Oggy Oggy's grandma, as seen in "Eyes on the Prize". Unlike the original (where she resembled Oggy), she is a cat with a peach body, gray hair and always wears opaque glasses.
• Wild Cat - The odd one out, in tune with nature.
• Santa Paws - A cat who shows up in the series' Christmas specials, based on Santa Claus (although his stature is small, like the rest of the cats). He has Santa's red and white outfit and light yellow fur.
• The Farmer
• The Shepherd
• Flocks of sheep - Kept in small pens. They have the same cat faces as the rest of the townsfolk.
• Police Cat
