Acquisition from Joann Sfar's Magical Society & Mediawan Kids & Family, Based on Best-Selling French Children's Book Mister Crocodile is Very Hungry from Joann Sfar

NEW YORK--JAN. 27, 2026--Nickelodeon will introduce the colorful characters and charming world of Mr. Crocodile to preschoolers with the debut of the brand-new animated series on Monday, Feb. 23, in the U.S. The series is based on the beloved French children's book Monsieur Crocodile a Beaucoup Faim (Mister Crocodile is Very Hungry) by best-selling author Joann Sfar, published by Gallimard.

Mr. Crocodile follows the toothy, lovable Mr. Crocodile, alongside his best friend Daisy, as he cheerfully navigates life with boundless enthusiasm and comical misunderstandings due to his instinctive crocodile logic. New to a diverse and lively mobile home community, Mr. Crocodile lives with Daisy, and they split their time between her Mom and her Dad's homes. Together, they turn everyday activities into zany adventures as they share an unconditional acceptance of each other's approach to life.

In the premiere episode on Monday, Feb. 23, at 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT), "Lucky Croc / Sleepover Croc," Daisy and Mr. Crocodile search for a lucky item to help them win a bike raffle. Then, Mr. Crocodile can't fall asleep at his first sleepover until the whole family pitches in to help. Mr. Crocodile will continue to premiere Monday-Thursday, at 10:30 a.m. (ET/PT) for four consecutive weeks, with encores at 5:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on the Nick Jr. channel.

Monsieur Crocodile a Beaucoup Faim is a beloved French children's book written by New York Times bestselling author Joann Sfar. Published by Gallimard, the story follows the adventures of a hungry crocodile who sets out to find something to eat, encountering unique challenges along the way. The book is a cherished favorite among children and parents alike, known for its charming illustrations and humorous narrative.
