Lisa is a Swedish-German-Hungarian animated preschool television series created by Magnus Carlsson. It was produced by Happy Life and is aimed at younger children.
Production and telecast.
The "Lisa" series was first produced as a series of cinematically-released short films. The first short film, "Lisa får en barnvakt", premiered in June 1996 and was released as a book the following year. Two further short films, "Lisa hos tandläkaren" and "Lisa på picknick", were granted funding from the Swedish Film Institute in February 1997 and released in January 1998.
The series was aired on SVT beginning in 1999. It also aired on KIKA in Germany. In addition with English voices, it screened on Nick Jr. in the United Kingdom and HBO Family in the US, as well as distributed internationally by Fox Kids. There were also some books made based on the series. The series was narrated by Gösta Ekman.
Carlsson left Happy Life for a few years after having co-founded the studio, but Happy Life went on to produce more episodes of "Lisa" without Carlsson's involvement nor approval. Carlsson then sued his former employer for copyright infringement, a lawsuit he won in arbitration by January 2002.
