Les Nouvelles Aventures de Lucky Luke (English: The New Adventures of Lucky Luke) is a French animated television series based on Lucky Luke, a Franco-Belgian comic book series created by the Belgian cartoonist, Morris. The series consists of fifty-two 30 minute episodes. It was directed by Olivier Jean-Marie and produced by Marc du Pontavice at the Xilam studios in Paris, France. The music for the series was composed by Ramon Pipin and Hervé Lavandier.
Lucky Luke is a cowboy who shoots faster than his own shadow. With the help of his faithful horse Jolly Jumper (the world's smartest horse) and sometimes also Rintindumb (the world's dumbest dog), he maintains peace and order in the Wild West. He hunts down desperadoes, keeps sharpshooters like Billy the Kid in check and constantly recaptures and returns The Daltons to prison.
Ten years after the last series of Lucky Luke episodes, Xilam has launched the production of new ones. The hope for Marc du Pontavice for this series is that it has to fill in the gap between the series already aired "which have aged" the new episodes "which have not aged". Fifty-two episodes were made with a budget of 120 million francs (just over EUR 18 million). These episodes are new stories written for the series.
Some characters are caricatures (Garcimore, Roberto Benigni, Woody Allen, ...)
The series was broadcast in France on channel France 3 in The Minikeums preview. The series was later aired on France 2, Fox Kids /Jetix, Canal J, France 5, and since 7 July 2014, on 6ter. In Belgium, the series was broadcast on The Three [8] and is currently on Kadet (Belgium). In Switzerland it was broadcast on RTS Two, and in Quebec on Télé-Québec. Unusual for a cartoon, the series has been broadcast in prime time resulting in an increase in popularity. Viewing figures were close to 4 million viewers every Sunday night.
The series was also broadcast in Germany under the name of Lucky Luke - Die neuen Abenteuer (Lucky Luke - The New Adventures).
