What happens

Joe the Little Boom Boom (French: Joë chez les Abeilles / Joë petit boum-boum) is an animated television series first produced between 1960 and 1963 and later remade into an animated feature film in 1973 (the English title for the film was Johnny in the Valley of the Giants). It was originally broadcast in 1960 by the ORTF. In Wales, the series was dubbed and aired as part of the "Teli-Ho!" children's programming strand on TWW in Wales from the late 60s, as the first known animated series to dubbed in Welsh. The show and the film were created by Jean Image, one of the leading French animators of his time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
