Gofrette is a Canadian animated children's television series, based on the series of children's books by Doris Brasset and Fabienne Michot.[1] It is produced by Zoe Mae and Sub-Sequence Entertainment. Porchlight Entertainment distributed Gofrette on Qubo until 2017.
Gofrette is about a curious little cat who—along with his dog and bird best friends—lives through various adventures evoking the program's tag line: "... that busy, busy cat!" The show takes place in the fictional mayorless town of Zanimo and is based on the original books written by Doris Brasset and Fabienne Michot.[2]
Gofrette. A curious cat who makes every day in Zanimo an exciting day with his huge imagination, endless supply of hobby equipment, and a go-for-it attitude. He lives in a house with Red the Refrigerator to whom he talks and understands; with his stuffed animal, Long Ears; and with tiny, creatively active creatures he calls Gnugnuts. His uncle, Garbanzo, is an acrobat who owns and stars in El Teatro Zanimo circus. Gofrette also has a grandmother, Granny Smith, who is only mentioned and shown in photographs. He is voiced by Eleanor Noble. Gofrette's favorite exclamation is "Zowy!", sometimes with a variation such as, "Zowy zow zow!".
Fudge. A dog with big floppy ears. Fudge is sometimes reluctant to get into what he thinks of as scary or embarrassing situations, but he is usually a good sport once participating. He is a bit fussy with his ears, and a source of his reluctance to participate in things. He owns a van called the Zanimo Wagon that he also lives in. He has been friends with Gofrette since they were a puppy and a kitten. He often uses the phrase, "Wowie Zowie Gofrette." He has an older brother named Moocher, who is a mechanic and artist. He is voiced by Sonja Ball. He is also known as "Blue" in books.
Ellie Coptor. A pink bird with a propeller on her head that twirls depending on her mood. She operates a hair salon in her treehouse and plays with a quite bit in fashion and makeovers. As best friends with Gofrette and Fudge, Ellie rounds out the trio with her fun, creative, and sometimes nervous—but always strong—personality. Ellie's favorite snack is worms which grosses out Fudge. She is voiced by Lucinda Davis. She has an Aunt Edna who wrote a book (in the cartoon) called "Trapezee is for the birds".
