The show was produced by a company with a suspiciously-looking logo: a company called "SMJM". I did not understand it's meaning until a search last Monday which resulted in "Hunan Shanmao Cartoon".
If you said that it was suspiciously-looking, it's not a rip-off of Mickey Mouse's head. It's just Bobcat's head. Iris wipes have the hape of Bobcat's head appearing every few minutes. Bobcat's head can be seen on a TV screen.
And Bobcat and Kimmy is just the name given by CCTV 4's subtitle translator: the show's "official" (by Hunan Shanmao standards) name is still "Shanmao and Jimi".
The show commences with an announcer saying that this is a new season (made three years ago), "the stories just keep getting more and more exhilarating" and ends with "Bobcat and Kimmy. Fun for the whole family. Healthy and happy. We'll see you there.", which, after an intensive search, turns out to be a 108-episode series called "The Happy Family of Shanmao and Jimi" (《山猫和吉咪》之全家乐).
If anyone who works at CCTV 4's subtitling department and can read this, please confirm me that I put the names "Bobcat and Kimmy" on the net because of you.
Now let's go to the show itself. We do morning jog in the spring, we swim in the summer, we play ball games in the autumn and ski in the winter.
This show has 108 episodes, CCTV 4 airs it in groups of 4. Each episode is ca. 10 minutes long. This means that this can air for 27 days and never rerun. (You already know that Cartoon City is like that: they air one show, then they change it and old shows never rerun.)
There's something in the show that makes me laugh: not the characters but the subtitles and the sound effects. Especially the sound effects, you'll see why.
The show abusively uses HB sound effects and the like and most of those sound effects have nothing to do with the actions of the characters. What really shocked me is the fact that they were constantly using the Jetsons sound effect but I think that's over-abusive.
Has anyone else seen this show on CCTV 4 (Europe) in the past couple of weeks?
