Lasting seven minutes, 30 seconds each, the 14 new episodes will be available from August 24, on the public broadcaster’s Coucou platform. As for television, it will present them in September, which will coincide with the implementation of its new programming. They will then be available for viewing on Saturdays and Sundays at 7:50 a.m.
“I’m happy because it’s the ideal place for Biscuit and Cassonade, which are aimed at preschoolers. It must be said that the first season on the web produced results that surprised everyone, while constituting a major validation of the work accomplished. Ratings were high. In its niche, it has become a Télé-Québec favorite,” reveals Caroline Munger.
Remember that the initial season included 21 episodes where she played the role of guardian of the charming characters from her imagination. After having lived in books and school animations, these then took on a new dimension, since they are embodied by the puppeteers Michel Ledoux and Sylvie Comtois.
Back in a new studio, they gave the reply to a colleague who was more comfortable in front of the camera. “Not being an actress, I had to tame a whole process over the course of the first season. I was also involved in a lot of departments, which left me less time to concentrate on my game, analyzes Caroline Munger. This time, however, I am satisfied. »
As a bonus, she had more fun on the set, especially when Michel Ledoux multiplied the jokes during the breaks. It should be noted that he and Sylvie Comtois are nestled under the island where Caroline carries out activities with Biscuit and Cassonade. Some are similar to do-it-yourself or free play, while others take the form of symbolic games.
“Basically, it’s pretending. Imagine stories where we play roles, describes the Saguenéenne. As for my goal, it remains the same, which is to nurture children’s creativity in a calm environment, with endearing characters. The target audience is between three and six years old, but the series also arouses the curiosity of those who are a little younger or older. »
It should be noted that seven episodes will be shot at the end of October, with a view to broadcast in 2024. Like the first of the season, they will be directed by Hélèna Girard following having undergone a rigorous content analysis. . Among the people taking part in this exercise, we notice a recruit whose name is familiar. This is the author Natasha Kanapé-Fontaine, Indigenous content advisor.
“The materials used are found in all homes so that the games are accessible”, specifies Caroline Munger who, in parallel with the creation of the programs, remains present in the schools of the province. This is how during the 2022-2023 school year, she gave nearly 200 shows which mobilized 488 classes, which will happen once more in the fall.
“The difference is that thanks to the series, the reservations had been completed quickly, marvels the mother of Biscuit and Cassonade. However, in the context of these visits, it is above all a question of my books, with the further objective of inspiring young people. When they create a workshop like that of my character, whether it’s for sewing or preparing a production, it becomes magical. »
