On the sidelines of International Women's Rights Day, Sunday March 8, France 5 is launching an animation series adapted from the work of designer Pénélope Bagieu. Like the comic strip, this new series is called Culottées , just like the women it tells, who have changed their destiny and, by extension, all of society.
In total: thirty portraits of women sketched by Pénélope Bagieu. "I like the fact that it is a 100% female project. They are producers who want to make young directors and screenwriters work," explains Europe 1 Pénélope Bagieu. "We met over coffee, and I told myself that they really understood what I wanted to say in my comic book. I felt reassured, I could give them the keys, and not anymore deal with it. "

This adaptation is also an opportunity for the artist to move from comics to cartoons. "It brings other ways of telling stories, and lots of things I could never have done in comics," she says. "The fact of giving them a voice, that of Cécile de France who makes all the characters, the fact of making them move, of having music ... these are questions that I don't ask myself when I draw. had to step back, imagine the decor, embroider beyond what I had done. "
The 30 episodes of the series, of 3 minutes 30 each, will be broadcast on France 5 and of course on all of France Télé's platforms.
