Hairy scary is a French animated television series, created by Jan Rijsselberge and co-produced by Alphanim. Hairy scary is a lush 3D CGI series geared for kids 6 to 8. It is a comedy centred around two kids – a “Hairy” boy, Willow, and a “Scary” girl, Constance - and their adventures in a fantastical and sometimes confusing world of misconceptions and misunderstandings. Along with a bunch of pretty assertive schoolmates, they figure out all sorts of important things such as friendship stronger than prejudice and acceptance of difference.

[edit] Synopsis

Hairies are mostly about feelings and Scaries are mostly about thinking. Hairies are like playful dogs and Scaries are like playful cats. (Or vice versa.) None of these differences get in their way of being close neighbours. But if you really want to know Hairies and Scaries all you have to do is meet Willow and Constance. They’re two regular kids in an irregular world. Willow’s a Hairy boy and Constance is a Scary girl. Willow loves adventure and greets each day with enthusiasm. Constance loves having a plan and likes to stick to the rules. Willow is always getting himself in trouble and Constance is always getting him out of it. Which makes Junior very, very unhappy. Junior is a scheming Scary classmate who is totally enamoured with Constance. He sees Willow as a rival for her heart (even though she can’t stand him) and he works tirelessly to find ways to embarrass and thwart Willow. Naturally, he never wins. Will he ever learn?

[edit] The Heroes

WILLOW is a cheery Hairy who greets each day as the start of an adventure. He believes no problem is too big or too complex to solve. He’s the kid who stands up when everyone else sits down, goes out of his way to be nice and supportive, gives gifts to his friends to see them smile. Directions, rules and textbooks aren’t for Willow who’d rather learn by “doing”. His cheery, can-do attitude pulls him through any problem Junior throws his way.

CONSTANCE is a Scary who’s got a good head on her shoulders – even though she’s the clumsiest kid around. You can always count on her to trip, hit her head in a doorway or break something important. But, above all else, Constance is a loyal friend. You can count on her to always do the right thing.

JUNIOR is a scary Scary. He moves fast, speaks fast and thinks fast. He thinks Constance is the most beautiful Scary ever and is convinced that she has a crush on him. Every insult Constance throws at him, he takes as a compliment. He can see that Constance likes Willow and that makes Willow Junior’s number one rival.

PLUG & DOUG: Junior’s cousins and sidekicks, Plug & Doug aren’t the most astute guys to have on your side. They’re pretty much two twins with one brain. Separate them and they get lost and into trouble. But because they’re family, Junior has no choice but to rehire them and use them in his future schemes to thwart Willow.

DAFFODIL is Willow’s best friend. As worried as a grandmother, Daffodil is all about safety. “Code Red!” He’ll scream at the first sign of danger. Trouble is, he’ll often complicate things and make them more dangerous by pointing out how unsafe they are.

ERNEST is Constance’s younger brother. Unlike his sister, he’s not book smart or interested in knowing everything. Rather, he likes to know just enough to get by. He often wears big, black sunglasses to show off how cool he is. Ernest gets involved in anything he thinks would make a good deal. He joins a band, learns a language, and tries a new sport. Although he is friends with Willow and the others, he usually “works” on his own. But every “loner” needs help and company now and then.

Willow’s trusted pet Ulu, ZIG, of course can’t talk but he’s listening and helping Willow in his own Ulu way. Willow may love his pet, but most Scaries and Hairies don’t like Ulu’s because they are clumsy – always knocking things over and breaking things.

SHUSH is Constance’s best friend. She has a “no filter brain” and says what’s on her mind the moment it pops in. She sure keeps things lively, especially in touchy situations. Shush is also a fashion junky, always looking for a “new look” to keep up with the trends.

BIG KAHUNA, the School Principal. Cool, relaxed with a deep, low voice. If he lived in our world, he’d be a fan of Gerry Garcia (Grateful Dead). But in Hairy Scary, he’s a favourite of the kids. A trusted principal who also coaches the team and isn’t against having fun too.

MR. SAP is a teacher who really bends over backwards to be nice. Pathetically nice. He apologizes for everything. “Sorry about the test, kids. Sorry about the homework. Gee that makes me feel bad.” Aside from teaching, he’s also an inventor and loves to show Willow & Constance his latest inventions. Do they work? Most times, no. And the results can be dreadfully funny.

RTTZ (pronounce: R, double-T, Zed) is the Police chief and Junior’s dad. The police chief who takes his job very seriously and is a firm believer in “Crime & Punishment”. He’s number one nemesis is Rubber Bob, the thief who always gets away – but who also never manages to steal anything successfully, either! As a father, Rttz is stern with Junior if sometimes easily duped by him. Key phrase: “Crime & Punishment”.

THE PREMIER is the town mayor and Constance’s uncle. A nice, friendly fellow who loves Golf and a long vacation. You’d never mistake him for a politician. He’s more like your favourite granddad, a little befuddled but kind hearted.

PAL PITT is the town hearthrob and teed idol for all the girls at school. Actor, announcer, celebrity. Even Constance falls under his spell. Pal Pitt got his name because he makes your heart palpitate. He is young, cool and has one patch of hair on his chin that the girls swoon over. In their hearts and minds, Pal can do nothing wrong. The boys can’t say the same.

RUBBER BOB is the resident master thief, or so he thinks. Rubber Bob is intent on being the greatest thief of all time. The greatest thief in the universe! Speaking in a french accent, Rubber Bob records everything he does in his personal hand-held recorder. Referring to himself in the third person, Rubber Bob says “He is formidable!”.

BUNN (Willow’s Mom), often called Honey-Bunn by her husband, works at the Department of Education. She’s very touchy-feely and is in charge of fostering new ways to learn. She’ll often come up with odd ways of doing things. “ Let’s hold hands and hug before we begin.” Willow can’t stand it. But what’s a son to do?

Willow’s dad, BUZZ, works at the Hairy Hair Products Commission and does quality control on Hairy hair products. Buzz is also active in his son’s life. Sometimes too active. He’s always signing him and Willow up for father/son outings in the hopes of bonding with his son. Trouble is, Willow would rather hang out with his buddies. But what’s a son to do?
