Flapacha, Où Es-Tu? (2011)
A very charming and creative animated series
Floopaloo, Where Are You? premiered here in 2012, but it always looked too childish for me. I only gave it a chance in 2016, when I was 19 years old, and immediately loved it.
All of the characters are so likable. It is refreshing seeing a group of seven work together so well. The plots are so creative. The children are on a summer camp next to a forest where the "Floopaloo" lives. This is a mysterious creature you don't get to see. The children try to keep everything Floopaloo-related hidden from the adults.
For instance, there is an episode where the Floopaloo gives Matt a ball and chain (like a criminal), and every time he lies, the ball gets bigger and bigger, but they have to keep it from the adults, so they have to lie about it.
In another episode, the children find a blue sticky ball that helps one of the characters to become less clumsy, but the Floopaloo uses that ball to "glue" everything in the forest. So everything in the forest starts breaking: the trees, the ground, the animals...
The Floopaloo has got a computer where all of his magic is stored. In one episode, the children press a wrong button and everything in the forest starts disappearing.
The list goes on. Every episode is a surprise. The characters have clashing personalities, but always manage to work together time and time again. In the second season, it can sometimes get humorous. You won't be laughing every time, but do expect to be charmed.
9/10

Hubert & Takako (2012)
One of the most humorous cartoons I have ever seen
I saw this cartoon for the first time in 2014, when I was 17 years old. I have seen a lot of cartoons, but until this day, I find Hubert & Takako one of the funniest cartoons ever made.
The cartoons stars the pig Hubert and the fly Takako who live together in a house. Most of the humor is based on one or both of the main characters exaggerating about ordinary things. The duo easily gets hyped or stressed about something. Hubert has got a crush on Jennifer, the local check-out girl, and Takako can't resist the muscled Eros, who delivers pizza and is also a pool lifeguard. Hubert and Takako seem to be the only talking animals in the city, so they stick together like inseparable friends.
The art style is something I have never seen before. The noses of humans are placed in an odd way. Many things are carefully coloured outside the lines. The crown of trees are just random shapes of one color with a few twigs. Lots of different colours are used. All of this gives the series a special summer-like atmosphere.
I have heard the series getting compared with "Ren & Stimpy". I can see where that idea comes from. That series also focuses a lot on exaggerating. However, Hubert & Takako will never show any "gruesome gross-ups" and the series never gets disturbing in the slightest.
