The Moon magically brings Bouli the snowman and his snowman friends to life and keeps them from melting.
All the snowmen live in a picturesque village hidden in the woods. Bouli's main goal in life is to be good to others, to help them, to smile and to involve them in a variety of activities and adventures, including sea voyages, skiing, ice skating, cooking, playing music, etc.
Bouli as well as all his friends are lovable and easily identifiable characters for children: the sailor, the footballer, the tennis player, the trader, the cook, the punk, the lifeguard, the grandfather, and Bouli's two closest friends: Bouli girl whom he loves, and a big bear who sleeps, snores and eats cakes.
The series originally aired in France between 1989 and 1990.
InIreland, it was first broadcast in IrishonThe Den, a children's block on RTÉ's Network 2 channel, premiering on 2 September 1991; and was repeated on Irish-language-specific Telefís na Gaeilge's Cúlabula block in the late 1990s.
Two collections of episodes from the Irish-language dub were released on VHS in Ireland via RTÉ; Bouli agus a Chairde (Bouli and Friends), in 1990, and Bouli Arís (Bouli Again) in 1991.[2] Irish clothing company HairyBaby also created a licensed Bouli line of T-shirts and hoodies for adults, based on the Bouli agus a Chairde box art.
A French DVD box set of the series was produced in the 2000s. An English DVD release was never made.
