What happens

Soupe Opéra (often referred to in English as Soup Opera) is a French children's stop motion television show by French animation studio, Marlou Films. Featuring fruits and vegetables turning themselves into different creatures and objects, the name of the series is a pun on the term "Soap Opera." A total of 26 two-minute episodes were made. In France, the series aired on the France 3 channel. A small cult following developed around the show years after it aired on Australia's ABC channel during the 1990s and early 2000s.
