Rayman: The Animated Series (also known as Rayman: The TV Series, or just Rayman) is a series of animated short films created by Ubisoft in 1999, based on the Rayman series, following the success of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. It was meant to be a series of 26 episodes with a projected release during the fall of 2000,[2][3][4] but only four were completed when it was cancelled mid-series, leaving a fifth episode near to completion. The series was only broadcast in France, Germany and the Netherlands, but was released on VHS in North America, and additionally on DVD in France[5][6][7] prior to the TV airing.[8]
