Annie Brocoli
Encyclopedia
Annie Brocoli is the name of a popular children's character in Québec
. She is the creation of Annie Grenier (born in 1971 in Montreal), an actress/singer whose alter ego was inspired by her childhood experiences as well as by her own two children.
Annie Brocoli follows the exciting adventures of a young woman who travels around in a Volkswagen New Beetle
searching for fun, complete with unusual surprises and songs. It was those ingredients that won her a fan base among parents and children in French-speaking Quebec
and in France
. She also has won a legion of fans among English-speaking families.
In addition to playing Brocoli, Grenier also writes, sings and plays other characters in the series.
Grenier brought her character to life in a series of children's albums in 1999 followed by a series of videos in 2000. Her 2001 video "Annie Brocoli dans l'espace" ("Annie Brocoli in Space") was a huge success and helped expand her fan base.
But her popularity would explode on the big screen in 2003, when "Annie Brocoli dans les Fonds Marins" ("Annie Brocoli Under the Sea") was released, becoming a hit at the Québec box office. The movie consists of computer graphics produced by [Damnfx] with Grenier performing via chroma key
.
Apparently, Grenier has plans to take her character beyond French-speaking territories to other markets, including the United States
.
One of her hit songs is "Nanas Banana."
