Status: Partially Found
T O 3 was a French children's television program broadcast on France 3 from April 1, 2002, to August 28, 2004, and aimed primarily at children aged 9 and over. The show was presented by Theo and Luna, two virtual characters.
History
General
As a replacement for Les Minikeums, the original concept was to have two teenagers named Theo and Luna travel in a spaceship (the 3), accompanied by a crew populated by crazy creatures. Produced by the Sparx Animation Studio, the show decided to offer an aesthetic collage using various graphic styles in computer-generated images. In this program, the characters have various graphics, suitable for their character. All the voices were done before the animation by Viking Studio Production (audio post-production studio), with some actors dubbing several characters. Thus, using a lip synchronization program, the mouths of the 3D animations automatically settled on the voices, recorded beforehand.
T O 3 was created to replace Les Minikeums, the show which, according to France 3, after nine years of broadcasting, tended to vampirize the attention of children to the detriment of the programs they were supposed to promote.
Initially planned for one year, T O 3 was maintained, under the editorial direction of the channel, for two and a half years, ie a dozen hours produced before being replaced by France Truc.
T O 3 was aired on mornings at 7 a.m. and the afternoons at 4:35 p.m.
The show averaged an 18.3% audience share.
