Gooseberries Expedition is an American animated series produced by Klasky Csupo for Nickelodeon . It is about the adventures of a fictional wildlife filmmaker - family called Gooseberry, focusing especially on the youngest daughter of the family, Eliza who can talk to animals. It first aired in America in October 1998. It was Nickelodeon's first animated series to tell half-hour stories. The German word gooseberry is not a translation by Thornberry , but the translator's own creation .
Several well-known actors have guest roles as the talking animal on the series, including Bruce Willis and Hector Elizondo . The series was nominated for an Emmy in 2001.
Plot and characters
Heinrich (originally Nigel ) and Marianne Stachelbeere travel around the world in their multifunctional motorhome to shoot wildlife documentaries, with Heinrich acting as the speaker and Marianne as the camerawoman . They are accompanied by their three children. The older daughter Debbie is a typical teenager who longs for the city life and hates nothing more than animals and nature. The younger daughter, the adventurous Eliza , a girl with red pigtails, freckles , braces and strong glasses, on the other hand, is enthusiastic about nature, especially when, after meeting an African medicine man , she discovers that she can talk to animals, whatever but must keep it a secret from her family. Gooseberries' stepson, Donnie , is a wild boy who was raised by orangutans before he came into the care of Heinrich and Marianne. He can only utter excited, incomprehensible babbling. The last fellow traveler is Darwin , a chimpanzee and best friend of Eliza. He has gotten used to human life well, likes cheese chips and is not a fan of excitement.
In every episode, Eliza Gooseberry encounters a species that she has to help. Often it is an endangered species that it has to protect from poachers or other animals, or it is animals from a region where water and food are scarce, or it is a young that has lost its mother. Sometimes, however, it is also Eliza who creates problems through her intervention. Most of the time, during the episode, she puts herself in a dangerous position from which she can hardly save herself, often with the help of the extremely anxious and comfortable chimpanzee Darwin. Constant side stories are also her quarrel with the teenage sister Debbie and the accidents that happen to Heinrich Gooseberry while filming.
