Michel has loving parents who don’t care what he looks like and don’t adhere to conventions regarding who should bake, cook and do the chores around the house. Michel also doesn’t shy away from the kids at his school. He could easily have four eyes and be green and furry! And he is! And unlike other children, he commutes to school on the step of a dustcart and instead of candy, he swallows careless pigeons. Michel is therefore an ideal character for the youngest children to identify with, but his humorous and almost Dadaistic stories will appeal to older audiences too. Each episode focuses on ordinary human interactions and connects them with humorous nonsensical details. It puts emphasis on children’s world and its heroes who can often surprise grown-ups. This playful animated series is based on the stories by popular French children’s books author Marie-Aude Murail. (Anifilm)

English Michel is an absurdly dadaist, deadpan series that shows that being normal is nonsense, while the ideal embodiment of this principle is everyone’s favourite titular hero – a croaking, furry, little green being with four eyes, who really likes to feast on shoes and pigeons. You know, it’s for kids. ()
