Cococinel
 The main character is a ladybird who has a magic four-leaf clover with incredible powers, it made her strong and thanks of this Cococinel defends her forest city called Cocoland from terrible threats. Also some times, aided by her friends, she teaches about ecology and the environment.[1] This series is sorely forgotten and its toys and home video releases are completely out of print and ultra rare and impossible to find, plus most episodes are not available anywhere and never even had a video release.
Oscarabus, the beetle bus, takes a lively group to school every morning, including Ben-Yes and Ben-No, the funny twins; Cocoblue, the absent-minded poet; Cocomauve, the perpetual complainer; and, of course, Cococinel, the magical heroine of Cocoland, always ready to help her friends solve their problems. Everything would be perfect if Cocoland wasn't constantly threatened by envious predators. Fortunately, Cococinel uses her four-leaf clover powers to maintain the balance in their small community. In Season 2, the series progresses significantly with the introduction of a beloved character: Babicinel, Cococinel’s sister. They live together in the Clover House. Babicinel also possesses a magical amulet, a magical heart. Like her sister, Babicinel is tasked with saving the world while juggling her mission with everyday life. However, being very romantic, she often falls in love easily, making her everyday moments as interesting as her action-packed ones. This also greatly increases the dramatic situations. New characters such as Levallois, the envious and egocentric bee; Bambee, the clumsy bee; Mayor Bumblebee, an authoritarian and grumpy figure; Cocograss, the gossipy and mocking ladybug; and Cocofleur, a traumatized ladybug who heals with Babicinel’s help, also join the series. Episodes in Season 1 are five minutes long, while Season 2 episodes are eleven minutes long. Special episodes last 21 minutes. The animated series "Cococinel" is a classic that combines magic, bravery, and the essence of ladybugs, tiny creatures known for their protective role and good fortune. Cococinel follows the adventures of a ladybug heroine who gains magical powers by finding a four-leaf clover. This detail is not coincidental; ladybugs are widely considered symbols of good luck in various cultures. By integrating this natural characteristic into the narrative, the creators infused Cococinel with powerful and charming symbolism. Cococinel (known as Cococinel in the original version, closely resembling the French word for ladybug, "Coccinelle") is known as the lucky bug, thanks to her magical four-leaf clover that grants her special powers. Besides being symbols of good luck, ladybugs combat harmful insects in real life, protecting gardens and crops. This natural trait of ladybugs is reflected in Cococinel's character, who fights against evil forces and protects her home, embodying both a defensive and protective nature. This duality of defense and protection is central to her character, making Cococinel a heroic figure both on-screen and in symbolism. Babicinel, Cococinel’s sister and also a protagonist of the series, adds another layer of symbolism. With her magical heart and romantic inclinations, Babicinel represents love. In some cultures, ladybugs are also considered guides for lovers. Babicinel, the love bug, embodies this belief, using her magical heart not only to fight evil but also to guide and protect others' hearts. Choosing ladybugs as protagonists in "Cococinel" and "Babicinel" is deeply rooted in the positive symbolism these insects represent: luck, love, and protection. Through their magical adventures, these characters not only entertain but also convey values and beliefs about the importance of caring for and protecting nature, echoing the true nature of ladybugs in our gardens and hearts. Cococinel had an entire line of toys and plushies that are now extremely rare to find. This collection was primarily focused on plushies with rubber faces, but it also included figures, books, and other merchandise. All these products were produced by Jemini, a Toy French brand.

She balances her mission with a common life with her core group of friends in Cocoland, which is the name of the village where she lives, throughout her adventures. She knows how to familiarize children with the life of Nature and show them that protecting it is an absolute priority today. Oscarabus, the beetle bus, takes a jovial gang to school every morning, including, among others, Ben-Yes and Ben-No: the funny twins, Cocoblue: the absent-minded poet, Cocomauve: the eternal complainer, and, of course, Cococinel, always ready to help her friends solve their little problems. Everything would be fine if Cocoland were not regularly threatened by envious and jealous predators. Fortunately, Cococinel watches over and, thanks to the powers of her magical clover, preserves the balance of the small community.
