# Snowsnaps

Snowsnaps (French: Les Mini-Tuques, "The Mini Toques") is a Canadian animated television series. It is a preschool-aimed spinoff of the 2015 film Snowtime! (La Guerre des Tuques 3D), itself an animated remake of the 1984 live-action The Dog Who Stopped the War (La Guerre des Tuques) movie. Produced by Carpediem Film & TV in collaboration with the animation studio Singing Frog and broadcaster Corus Entertainment, the series premiered September 1, 2018 in Canada on Télétoon, La Chaîne Disney and Treehouse TV.

## Plot

For Violet, Tomas, Sami and Kiki, every aspect of life is all about fun and games! There is nothing they like more than playing outside, especially in the snow on a winter’s day. Aged six, no task is too small to turn it into a game, no feat is off-limits to try as they seamlessly jump into role-playing to follow their wild imagination! Come meet these four friends who love to laugh and have fun!

## Characters

* Violet (voiced by Satine Scarlett Montaz) is the game master. She is a free thinker who refuses to follow the herd, has tons of wit and tenacity, and a tendency to be self-indulgent – a little Scoundrel. Her games and her behaviour are never mean or cruel, but if she gets into trouble it is due more to her youthful enthusiasm than any malicious intent. She is easily distracted by the sparkles or whatever is pink!
* Tomas (voiced by Brandon Lising) is open-faced and controlled by his heart of gold. Like all Innocents, he is generous and open-minded. He sees both sides of any disagreement. A natural peacemaker with an intense sense of fairness, he cannot stand conflict. Terry the penguin is his favourite toy, what's yours?
* Sami (voiced by Kimia Esfahani) is a smarty pants know-it-all who actually doesn't know it all, but he is still full of voluble explanations – the weirder and more unpredictable the better. He's likely to say or do anything; he loves playing the Fool. His favourite treats are Brussels sprouts and broccoli!
* Kiki (voiced by Ella Rose Coderre) is a daredevil. She's all about movement and physicality. When in doubt, she acts; thinking is for after. She is compelled to triumph even if she does not have the skills. She'll keep on trying until she can make it happen. A soldier who'll take on any mission! One thing is certain, we can always count on Kiki to play!
