Boris

“Boris” is a French animated series aimed at preschool children, based on the books by Mathis. The series revolves around Boris, a three-year-old boy bear characterized by his vivid imagination and adventurous spirit. Boris engages in various adventures with his toys, to whom he gives life and voice through his imagination. These toys become his companions in facing joys, worries, fears, and little problems. Boris often projects his own feelings onto them, such as pretending to protect them from the dark while he himself is afraid, or shifting the blame onto them to avoid consequences. Despite his mischief, the toys often help Boris learn important lessons, support him, or playfully mock him, providing a balance to his antics.

The series is appreciated for its charming portrayal of childhood imagination and the way it addresses the emotional world of young children through the lens of playful adventures and interactions with toys.
