Grizzy & the Lemmings (French: Grizzy et les Lemmings) is a fun French computer-animated TV series. It's made by Studio Hari with help from France Télévisions, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang.
This show is a silent comedy, meaning there's no real talking. The characters speak in funny sounds instead! It's all about a big grizzly bear named Grizzy and a group of tiny, playful lemmings. Grizzy often gets annoyed by the lemmings.
The show's cool 3D look was designed by Bertrand Gatignol for the characters and Édouard Cellura for the backgrounds. The series was first announced in 2015 and started airing around the world in 2016. It quickly became popular! New seasons have been made, with the third season, Grizzy & the Lemmings World Tour, coming out in 2021. A fourth season is planned for 2024.

What is Grizzy and the Lemmings About?
Grizzy and the Lemmings takes place in a made-up Canadian park called Nutty Hill National Forest. The story mostly happens at the forest ranger's cabin. When the ranger leaves for work, Grizzy, a grizzly bear, sneaks into the cabin. He loves to relax, watch TV, and eat snacks there.
But his peace is always ruined by a group of wild and mischievous blue-gray lemmings. These lemmings all act the same and love to cause trouble!
How Do Grizzy and the Lemmings Fight?
As Grizzy and the lemmings battle, they use all sorts of high-tech gadgets and sometimes even magic items. The lemmings want to make more mischief, and Grizzy tries to stop them. Their fights often spill out onto the nearby highway, leading to exciting chases.
Every episode ends with Grizzy and the lemmings stuck in a funny, tricky situation. But don't worry, they are always fine in the next episode! The show is a lot like classic cartoons where characters get into crazy situations but are never truly hurt. They might get hit by trucks or blown up, but they always come back for more fun.
Who are the Characters?
Main Characters
- Grizzy is a big, brown grizzly bear. He lives in the forest ranger's cabin. Grizzy is about two meters tall and wears a green locket. He loves to sleep on the sofa, watch TV, and eat salmon with chocolate spread. His favorite show is "The Secret of the Salmon." He really dislikes opera music! The lemmings are his biggest problem, as they stop him from relaxing. Grizzy is very smart and can find solutions to almost any situation. He thinks he's the boss of the forest, which is why he feels at home in the ranger's cabin, using all the cool gadgets.
- Lemmings are a group of small, blue-gray lemmings. They also live in the forest ranger's cabin. All the lemmings look, act, and think alike. There are about forty of them in their tribe. Their main goal is to have fun, which often gets them into trouble with Grizzy. Even though they are smart, they act like silly teenagers. They work together very well to make Grizzy's life difficult. They love to have loud parties and also enjoy eating chocolate spread, often stealing Grizzy's! They love watching a cartoon about a cat and a mouse, like Tom and Jerry. They can even sing lullabies to make Grizzy fall asleep. They also love to dance to music, which Grizzy hates. They cause a lot of chaos, usually aimed at Grizzy. Like Grizzy, they love technology, especially anything that makes their skateboard go faster.
Other Animals in the Forest
- She-Bear is a female grizzly bear. Grizzy tries to impress her, but she's not usually interested in him. She loves nature, like sniffing flowers and watching butterflies. Sometimes, she gets caught up in Grizzy and the lemmings' crazy adventures. She looks like Grizzy but is slimmer and has a heart-shaped spot on her belly (which changed to a pink spot in season 2). She always wears a flower in her hair. She also likes popcorn! In one episode, "Babysitting," we learn she has a bear cub daughter.
- Other creatures like moose, partridges, frogs, flies, butterflies, raccoons, spiders, bats, and even a T-rex sometimes appear. These animals are not like Grizzy or the lemmings; they act like real animals. Grizzy and the lemmings sometimes use these animals in their plans, which usually leads to funny problems for everyone!
Moose
Many moose appear in the show. The lemmings, and sometimes Grizzy, use them for rides. Moose love carrots, so the lemmings often dangle a carrot to make them run. They are usually brown and very calm.
Partridge
These birds are often used by the lemmings as a way to fly around. Grizzy also uses them sometimes. They have big eyes and brown and black feathers. Sometimes, a partridge can become giant because of Grizzy and the lemmings' actions!
Raccoon
Raccoons in the show are often seen digging through trash and eating garbage. They have twitchy noses. The lemmings' lullaby can even make them fall asleep.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
A T-rex (a Dinosaur) sometimes appears, unfrozen from ice. It's usually red and green or lime-green.
Polar Bear
A polar bear shows up in one episode. He gets too hot without ice. When he's cooled down, he acts like a playful dog and becomes friends with the lemmings.
- Forest Ranger is the human who owns the cabin. He is rarely seen, mostly just in the intro or in flashbacks. He's the only human character in the show.
World Tour also introduces new animals from different parts of the world, like a panda, a rooster, a crab, a whale, a warthog, a walrus, a mammoth, a penguin, an elephant, and a boar.
