Production notes

Welcome to the world of Ludovic, a sweet and curious four-and-a-half-year-old teddy bear. Ludovic conquers young kids' hearts through his fertile imagination. With the company of his duck friend Walla, Ludovic is up on a mission: exploring the world. But when Ludovic engages in imaginative play, inanimate objects spring to life and the laws of gravity are tossed out the window! Surprises, thus, abound. There's no telling what's in store for Ludovic and Walla when the cuckoo from the cuckoo clock comes alive and tries to get away from them or when Ludovic builds a race car out of cardboard boxes for Walla and it takes off.

Based on the internationally acclaimed animation collection (Four Seasons in the Life of Ludovic, by animation master Oscar winner Co Hoedeman), Ludovic's adventures are rooted in the day-to-day experiences that a lot of children have. Our hero's interaction with his pet duck, his cousin, his friend, a flashlight that's scared of thunder or a cuckoo that doesn't want to "cuckoo" provides for quirky stories that entertain and delight young audiences.
