Production notes

Premiered on October 26, 2009 on France 3's Toowam programming bloc; release dates for individual episodes are for Channel 7 Australia or ZigZap Network in Poland.

Each 26-minute episode consists of two cartoons.

Created in 2D digital animation between Paris, Annecy and Sydney.

Twelve-year-old Sally holds an unflinching admiration for her brilliant detective father, Harry Bollywood. So it's no surprise that she's determined to follow in his footsteps and become an ace investigator. It's genetic!

With the help of her friend Dowee, Sally sets up a sub-department in her father's detective agency -- "Sally Bollywood Investigation" (SBI) -- open only on weekends and vacations. And just to avoid competition with her father's business, Sally's agency provides services exclusively to kids. Homework gone missing? Close friends or pets mysteriously vanished? Arguments or alibis needed to settle disputes? "Sally Bollywood Investigation" can save the day! Results guaranteed within 24 hours! Payments in sweets or candy eagerly accepted!

Sally Bollywood has a strong cross-media presence. Four novels have been published by Nathan and a stationery range has been released by Ercé, which was followed in September 2010 by a comic strip from Jungle, DVDs from France Télévisions Distribution, and a luggage and textile range from Sahinler. The video of Nâdiya, who performs the title music for the series, has been multibroadcast on the France 3 TV channel, and Sony Music has released it on CD.
