The Wombles is an animated series for children transmitted in 1997 and 1998, based on the 1973 series created by Elisabeth Beresford. The Wombles had remained popular with children into the 1980s.[1] After FilmFair was acquired by the Canadian company Cinar Films in 1996, a new series of episodes was made, with three new Womble characters. The series is a co-production with Cinar and United Film & Television Productions/HTV Wales, in association with FilmFair Limited and ITV.[2] 52 episodes were produced.[3]
