The first season of Marsupilami premiered on 18 March 2000, on Canal J. Produced by Cactus Animation, Marathon Production, and Marsu Productions. This series is far more faithful to the original Marsupilami comic series than the previous Marsupilami animated works made by Disney (featured in the 1992 series Disney's Raw Toonage and its spin-off). In this first season, Marsupilami went on adventures alone or with his family (his wife Marsupilamie and their 3 young children, Bibi, Bibu, and Bobo).
