'''''Charlie and Lola''''' is a British [[Flash animation|Flash-animated]] [[children's television series]] based on the popular [[Charlie and Lola|children's picture book series of the same name]] by [[Lauren Child]], produced by [[Tiger Aspect Productions]] for [[CBeebies
== Synopsis ==
Line 103:
* '''Lola Sonner''' (voiced by Maisie Cowell in Series 1, Clementine Cowell in Series 2, and Holly Callaway in Series 3) is an imaginative and quirky 4-year-old girl.<ref name="character-outlines">{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/| title=Character oulines |publisher= BBC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194253/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/10/lola_characters.shtml/|archive-date=2016-03-04}}</ref> Lola is the younger sister of Charlie and is best friends with Lotta. She is described by her brother Charlie as "small and very funny". She normally wears blue butterfly hairpins and has short blonde hair. She likes playing, is often a drama queen, and has an imaginary friend named Soren Lorenson.<ref name="charlie-and-lola-series-1">{{cite web|url=https://www.tigeraspect.co.uk/series/animation-childrens/charlie-and-lola-series-1/|title=Charlie and Lola Series 1|website=tigeraspect.co.uk|date=25 April 2013}}</ref>
* '''Marv Lowe''' (voiced by Ryan Harris) is Charlie's best friend. He has a younger brother named Morten and an older brother named Marty. Marv has a [[dachshund]] named Sizzles (wordplay on the type of dog, a "sausage dog") and a pet mouse named Squeak.
* '''Lotta''' (voiced by Morgan Gayle) is Lola's best friend, who is [[Black British people|African-British]] and has black curly hair. After meeting at school, they became friends quickly and spend a lot of time together. Lotta usually follows Lola's lead, and is in awe of Charlie, Marv, and Sizzles
* '''Soren Lorenson''' (voiced by Stanley Street) is Lola's [[imaginary friend]], rendered as monochrome and translucent. When Lola and Soren Lorenson are playing, he is rather detailed (has the look of a real person only grey and translucent). When someone interrupts them (such as Charlie), he still has detail but becomes more unknown.

== Animation style ==
The television series uses a collage style of animation which captures the style of the original books. 2D [[Flash animation]], paper cutout, fabric design, real textures, [[photomontage]], and archive footage are all employed and subsequently animated in the software applications
The series is also notable for its use of children rather than adult voice actors as well as not showing adults, both techniques pioneered by the [[List of Peanuts media#TV Specials|''Peanuts'' television specials]].
