Gulli

Gulli occupies a curious middle ground in French kids TV, it's not the preschool safe zone of Tiji, nor the older-skewing Canal J. Instead, it targets the 7-12 bracket with a mix that's surprisingly eclectic. Morning blocks lean on proven imports like Pokémon and Totally Spies!, while afternoons rotate through French-produced series that don't always travel. The channel's willingness to program anime, not just Naruto but deeper cuts like Bleach, sets it apart from most European competitors. Production is clean, commercial breaks are frequent but not suffocating. What doesn't work: the live-action segments (usually game shows or low-budget presenting bits) feel cheap next to the animation. Still, for a free-to-air offering, the curation shows ambition. If you want to watch Gulli online, expect a channel that treats its audience with a bit more respect than the average kids broadcaster. The dubbing is solid, and the schedule repeats enough to be predictable but not stale. Worth a look for anyone curious about French children's programming beyond the usual Disney pipeline.
