The Tofus (French: Les Tofou) is an animated sitcom produced by SIP Animation and CinéGroupe. It is a satirical parody of the environmentalist lifestyle epitomized by its title family, which consists of Mom, Pop, Chichi, Lola, and Buba.[3] The show is set in the fictional town of Beauvillage, and lampoons many aspects of the environmental movement, including environmental organizations, animal rights, and pacifism.

Since its debut on September 6, 2004 on Teletoon in Canada,[1] the program has aired twenty-six episodes consisting of fifty-two segments over two seasons.
