Gulli is a French TV channel made just for kids! It shows lots of fun cartoons, TV series, and movies. It's a "free-to-air" channel, which means you don't have to pay extra to watch it.

Gulli started in 2005 as a team-up between two big companies: Lagardère Active and France Télévisions. Later, in 2019, the M6 Group bought Gulli and the TV part of Lagardère Active.

About Gulli's Look

When Gulli was first planned, it was almost called Gulliver. This name came from a famous book character, Gulliver, who traveled to many strange lands. But in the end, they decided on the shorter, catchier name: Gulli!

Over the years, Gulli has updated its look several times. On April 8, 2010, the channel got a new design and a fresh logo. This new logo looked darker and had more depth.

In September 2013, Gulli updated its look again. Then, on August 28, 2017, Gulli changed its branding once more. This newest look brought a lot of bright colors to the channel and was very popular!
