An original animated musical series

BigPap's Chronicles

The Chronicles tell the stories.
The songs keep their emotion.

Lived events — or events that could very well have been — become animated stories. At the end of the story, the song doesn't explain: it carries on what remains.

The Chronicles

Each Chronicle is a standalone way in. It tells one story, deepens the lore, and shifts something.

Available

Cuvée du Patron

One table, one night, and a bottle kept fifty years for the right moment. A story about what gets passed on — between a father, a son, and those who were there.

BigPap's and the family on the road
Friday, August 28

BigPap's en Vacances — Prologue

The road, the family, an overloaded car, and a very personal definition of summer planning.

Available

J'ai pas eu mon café (No Coffee This Morning)

An almost ordinary morning is enough to set the tone: when daily life goes off the rails, BigPap's turns it into a story.

A campsite lunch in Fromage et Compote
Friday, September 18

Fromage et Compote (Cheese and Apple Sauce)

A summer lunch at the campsite, a culinary sacrilege, and the balance of flavours as a recipe for life.

Le grand ménage du printemps (Spring Cleaning)

In the studio, sorting cables quickly turns into sorting memories. Some archives refuse to stay quiet.

Before the Chronicles

Before the Chronicles, there was an album. Sans Permission, BigPap's first album, released 21 March 2026 — thirteen tracks written in the first person, before the world filled up.

The videos
The narrative engine

A lived story.
An emotion kept.

The song is neither an advert nor a comment added afterwards. It is the natural resolution of what the Chronicle has been through.

The lived momentA family situation, a memory, a clumsy gesture, a conversation, or an object loaded with history.
The ChronicleAnimation shifts reality, reveals the characters, and opens the door to the absurd without losing the feeling.
The songIt takes over when the story has said all it can — and keeps the emotion in circulation.
The universe

From reality to the impossible

Familiar places, details that matter, then a world that widens without ever losing its human stakes.

The grounded everyday

Family, the table, the studio, the cellar, the holidays.

Recognisable places where details matter and feeling doesn't cheat.

The cosmic absurd

Sometimes the everyday overflows.

A night opens up, an object starts to matter more than it should, and the story goes elsewhere. Reality widens — what's at stake stays deeply human.

The cast

One family.
And a few anomalies.

Drawn from real life, turned into characters. Each brings a voice, a rhythm, and their own way of derailing the plan.

The BigPap's family gathered in the living room: five characters on the sofa, two dogs and two cats.
The whole household.

The living lore

The universe continues

Objects travel across the stories, change meaning, and connect the Chronicles without making them depend on one another.

Narrative object

The Mask

What it protects, what it hides, and what it always ends up revealing.

Narrative objects

The objects that stay

A bottle kept fifty years, a cardboard mask. In the Chronicles, nothing is quite a prop.
