Eryk Casemiro, the chief creative officer of Zodiak Kids Studios, talks to <\/em>TV Kids about the music-themed animated series <\/em>LoliRock.<\/em><\/p>\n

LoliRock\u00a0<\/em>follows the adventures of a teenage girl named Iris who, after joining a female band, discovers that she is an alien princess with magical powers. The show was created by David Michel and Jean-Louis Vandestoc and is distributed worldwide by Zodiak Kids. It is geared toward girls between the ages of 6 and 11.<\/p>\n

Thus far, LoliRock<\/em> comprises two 26×26-minute seasons. The series has been broadcast around the world, including by Disney Channel in territories across Europe, France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions, DeAgostini in Italy and Mediacorp in Singapore. It is also available for streaming on Netflix in the U.S., where it can be accessed with subtitles in French, English, Italian and Chinese.<\/p>\n

Music is one of the key ingredients that help LoliRock<\/em> resonate with young viewers around the globe. Eryk Casemiro, the chief creative officer of Zodiak Kids Studios, says: \u201cWe\u2019re culturally in a place of The Voice<\/em>, where, more than ever, kids are enjoying the aspirations [of others].\u201d He adds: \u201cWhen LoliRock<\/em> first hit the air, there weren\u2019t many shows like it…. I think it just sort of hits a nerve.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the challenges that come along with a show like LoliRock<\/em> is the cost and logistical difficulty of dubbing songs. \u201cWhen you say you\u2019re going to have music in a show to your sales team for distribution, their eyes roll to the back of their heads,\u201d jokes Casemiro. \u201cWhen you\u2019re going into different languages, not all dubbing actors and actresses can sing. Then you have the complication of lyric and language; there’s a certain amount of syllables they can get away with for lip-synching speech [but for a] song, you can\u2019t because it\u2019s rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a debate over whether LoliRock<\/em>\u2019s songs should be in English or French in France, with the latter ultimately chosen. \u201cWithin the community here, there\u2019s a sense that if a performer is [singing] in French, they\u2019re not an international performer, and if LoliRock <\/em>[had] international performers, then they would be singing in English,\u201d says Casemiro. \u201cBut then you didn\u2019t want to deny the kids in France the French version because the lyrics spoke to them more deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paris-based YellowsharkMusic oversees the score for LoliRock<\/em>. \u201cThey wrote songs that are super cool tracks you could totally hear somewhere else,\u201d says Casemiro, adding that it\u2019s best to never simplify music in a show just because it\u2019s geared toward children.<\/p>\n

There will hopefully be a third installment of LoliRock<\/em> at some point in the future. Until then, viewers can catch up on the first two seasons and enjoy the property\u2019s many nonlinear extensions, including merchandise as well as video content on its official YouTube channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
