Hairy Scary is an animated series developed by Jan Van Rijsselberge and produced by Alphanim for France 3 and Super RTL. The storyline centers on two children—Willow, a “Hairy” boy, and Constance, a “Scary” girl—who navigate a world filled with misunderstandings and stereotypes. Together with their confident classmates, they delve into themes such as friendship, challenging biases, and embracing diversity.

Synopsis

In this universe, Hairies are guided by emotions, whereas Scaries prioritize logic. Although their approaches differ, Hairies and Scaries live side by side as neighbors. Willow, an adventurous Hairy boy, and Constance, a rule-oriented Scary girl, take the lead roles. Willow frequently finds himself in troublesome situations, with Constance stepping in to assist him—much to the annoyance of Junior, a cunning Scary classmate who is infatuated with Constance and aims to sabotage Willow. Despite Junior’s continuous attempts to humiliate Willow, he never succeeds.
