----------

According to producer François Pétavy, the series was internationally co\-produced by Ubisoft's teams in France (pilot episode, design, storyboard, a scenario portion, layout and post\-production), Canada (animation, set modeling, characters integration and rendering), and the United States (script). Twenty\-six quarter\-hour episodes were planned (although some sources incorrectly say thirteen or mean thirteen half\-hour episodes), but after the fourth episode was completed, the show was cancelled. Although not confirmed, animator Émile Ghorayeb stated that it was cancelled due to high costs and "marketing reasons". The second episode "No Parking" was the pilot episode that debuted at [Annecy International Animated Film Festival](/wiki/Annecy_International_Animated_Film_Festival "Annecy International Animated Film Festival") in 1999\. They were aired in very few countries in [Europe](/wiki/Europe "Europe"), notably France, Germany and the Netherlands. The fifth, unfinished episode was to be called "My Fair Lac\-Mac", earning much fan speculation about the episode's content. This episode was almost done in production, but was stopped at the last minute.
