Premiering in 2005, Toupou (also known as The Wild Child) is a charming French animated series that blends city life with free-spirited adventure. Created by Fabrice Fouquet and Stéphane Bernasconi, the show tells the story of Toupou, a fearless girl raised in the jungle who suddenly appears in a bustling city. She quickly befriends Gaspard, a thoughtful city kid who becomes her closest companion and partner in mischief.
Toupou climbs trees, swings across rooftops, and treats the urban landscape like her personal playground — turning everyday streets into daring adventures. Her wild energy and open-hearted perspective challenge the rules of the city, encouraging others to see their surroundings with curiosity rather than caution.
What sets Toupou apart is its warm tone and its gentle message: being different isn’t something to hide — it’s something to celebrate. The series balances humor, friendship, and a subtle touch of environmental awareness, making it a delightful watch for kids who dream bigger than their surroundings.
Even today, Toupou remains a fresh reminder that wonder can live anywhere — even between concrete walls.
