History
France Truc was launched on August 30, 2004, after the previous show T O 3 was not broadcast yesterday until the announcement. The first program began with The Three Little Sisters.
With this assertive and original visual identity, France 3 hopes to capitalize on its recent successes in animated series such as Scooby Doo, Winx Club, Marsupilami, Titeuf, and Mon Kanar, the news magazine. To these values will be added new episodes of Hilltop Hospital, the return of Astro Boy, Dragon Hunters, etc., and a French novelty, Les Gnoufs, an animated series that should constitute the small back-to-school event for children.
Lore Bargès and Alex Taylor left the show after Alexandra David replaced Truque's voice in the second season.
In 2005, Julien Borde joined France Télévisions to head the youth programs unit of France 3.
France Truc did not manage to have much success. After being unveiled for almost a year and a quarter, Toowam was officially unveiled on July 1, 2006. This show will be the last after the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids episode in the afternoon lineup.
Broadcasting
The show aired at 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekday mornings and weekends, from Monday to Friday.
Idents
The idents, however, contrast dramatically with the old. Leaving aside the realistic but not very dynamic 3D effect, "France TRUC" creates a flatter but less static visual. With a few acidulous colors, the "split-screen" (split screen), tight close-ups, rhythm, and speed are privileged. "It's a pop aesthetic inherited from manga and Japanese comics" explains a designer, who adds: "In another style, 'The Powerpuff Girls' already drew on the same inspiration.
