Code Lyoko
Code Lyoko
is a French
animated series featuring both conventional animation and computer-generated imagery
, produced by Antefilms during the first season and MoonScoop during the second, in association with the France 3
television network and Canal J. Code Lyoko is about a group of four boarding school
students enrolled at Kadic Junior High School, named Jeremie, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi. The students try to help a virtual girl named Aelita leave the virtual world of Lyoko (found inside a supercomputer housed in the basement of an abandoned factory near their school), and enter the real world.
A megalomaniac digital entity named Xana, bent on world domination, has taken over the supercomputer in charge of Lyoko. If the group is able to get Aelita to the activated tower(s) out of the more than forty scattered about four of Lyoko's five regions, she can neutralize Xana's attack on the real world; then the supercomputer can reverse time
to just before the attack, leaving no one except the group to remember any of the events that transpired. To complicate the situation, they must do this while ensuring that their classmates and teachers are not killed (because going back in time cannot bring back those killed by Xana), and deal with the various personality clashes they have with them at the same time.
