ARIOL is the hero of the series. He’d be very much like any other little boy if he weren’t blue, had tall ears and a huge pair of glasses perched on his nose. No finely chiselled profile, no cherub, no stick figure, no caricature is he, but a nine year old little donkey. He’s a bit shy but has a wonderfully vivid imagination !
Small congenial and comic slices of life for 6 to 9 year-olds that everyone in the family will enjoy !

Brief synopsis:
A Hilarious, Provocative Series
Irreverent and provocative, Fred’s Head is a comedy that follows a 16-year-old boy as he tries to find his place in today’s world. Over the course of his various adventures, numerous eccentric characters will influence him in his quest for identity: we’ll be introduced to the anachronistic best friend whose style of speech is decidedly retro
