The first season of
Marsupilami premiered on March 18, 2000, on
Canal J. Produced by Cactus Animation,
Marathon Production and Marsu Productions. Marathon's 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''), which is no longer in circulation because Disney lost the rights to the character at some point in 1999. In this first season, Marsupilami went on adventures alone or with his family (his wife Marsupilamie and their three young, They are a 4-year-old Bibi, Bibu and Bobo). For example, in one episode he saved a group of circus animals, got them back to the city and saved the circus from closing. In another, he had to go to the city again to save one of his young, captured by their constant enemy, the hunter Bring M. Backalive. ==Season 2 - My Friend Marsupilami (2003)==
