Hareport is a computer-animated television series produced by France's independent TeamTO, with the support of the Centre National de la Cinématographie. It is distributed by Cake Entertainment. [2] The series was first proposed at 2006's Cartoon Forum.[2] It is also made by Filmwerken[5] and Vivi Film.[5]

The show's main characters are Fred and Ned, two hares who decide to build an international airport on their own garden after discovering that all animals can finally fly.[1]

Hareport was selected for the 2010 International Chicago Children Film Festival. [6]

Characters

  • Fred: Fred is a tall, skinny and red furred hare, He's very responsible, and is the complete opposite of his brother Ned. Fred holds the management in the airport. He and Ned frequently get into quarrels but they always realize how much it brings them closer.
  • Ned: Ned is the average lazy, partying and unmotivated brother of Fred. He runs the check-in counter but frequently takes breaks. Like Fred, they both share a love for Cookie. He also dozes off and likes to always have a fun time than work all the time.
  • Cookie: Cookie is a female pink squirrel, and is charming as well as beautiful. She is the operator of the control tower and changes her voice to that of a mature woman over the voice box. Boris is also her adoptive brother. Cookie is the desire of Ned and Fed's romantic dreams.
  • Boris: Boris is a large, friendly bear and also the adoptive brother of Cookie (whom he is very protective of). He is the clerk of the souvenir shop which sells anything to do with the airport and its staff.
  • Moppet: Moppet is the youngest of the staff and is an intern of the airport. He is very quick and very responsible in order to prove he is the best worker of the entire staff. Him being young and naive is often following Ned and Fred's orders (even if they are ridiculous). He works in various jobs of the airport, but is mostly seen as the handler of the traveler's suitcases.
  • Hughes: Hughes is an elder wolf and the oldest of the entire staff. Being old, he has bad eyesight and everything else that comes to being an old person. He runs the airport's lounge and serves various drinks to anyone who approaches the counter. He also gives advice to settle all the disputes that often come someone's way in which he unexpectedly walks into.
  • Baboon: Baboon is the airport's mechanic, and he is often seen fixing anything that is broken. In addition, he also tries to upgrade things which usually turn out for better or worse, although they usually end up hurting someone. For a short time, he was the full owner of the airport.
  • The Crow Sisters: The Crow Sisters are 3 crows lining up in different sizes, they are never seen separated and are always found together, squashed in a tight bunch. They are the cleaners of the airport and will often clean the messes Fred & Ned make, in an unpleasant tone.
  • The Beavers: The Beavers are a family of 5. The husband and father is always trying to shut down the airport because he can not stand the hares. He dislikes all the noise. The wife and mother goes along with her husband's plans or likes to hangout in the souvenir shop. They have three kids, one of which is skinny, another which looks average, and their youngest who is usually welcomed at the airport because he is usually the most innocent of the beaver family and is also a friend of Moppet. For a short time the youngest beaver child was an intern.
  • The Travelers: The travelers are the blood of the airport system, and they all come in many shapes and kinds. They are usually seen around the airport as a background prop and often come and go on the runway of airstrip.
