Ratz (Nelvana/Xilam collaboration)

Ratz is a 2003 French-Canadian animated television series created by Richard Zielenkiewicz and Stéphane Melchior-Durand. The show stars two rats, Rapido and Razmo, aboard the S.S. Wanderer, a cheese ship without an (apparent) actual destination. The focus of the series is on the adventures of the two rats, including guarding the cheese, interacting with other stowaways and various ill-fated encounters with the crew. The rats themselves live in the hull of the ship in a lavish two-bedroom apartment.
While being targeted at young children in France, the series has gained a small cult following of older ages in Canada, due to its original late-night airing time slot. The French version features the voices of the comedy duo Éric et Ramzy, while the English version features the voices of Christian Potenza as Rapido and Scott McCord as Razmo. Unlike most animated programs designed for a younger audience, Ratz has (except for the episode "The Genie") no moral resolve at the end of each episode.
Produced by Xilam and Nelvana, the series debuted on March 7, 2003 on Teletoon in Canada before premiering on France 3 in France on September 21, 2003. It has also been broadcast on various other channels overseas, such as Animania HD in the United States, Cartoon Network in Latin America, and Toon Disney in the United Kingdom.
