Angela Anaconda is a Canadian animated series from 1999 to 2002.

The series is based on two short clips from the show KaBlam !, namely The First Flush of Love and Chew on That Gum . In these the animation style was slightly changed with Dutch subtitles. In the original clips Angela had no friends at all and was madly in love with Johnny Abatti, but he was in love with the school bitch Nanette Manoir.

All the characters as well as the backdrops come from the computer , even if the actors look as if they had been cut out by hand and glued together. Most of the faces are mixtures of catalog photos, computer graphics and coloring with crayons. Only Mrs. Brinks, Mr. Manoir and Miss Yamagatchi are fictitious and designed figures.
