The Shoe People (1987–1992) watch online

The Shoe People is a British animated television series which was first broadcast in the United Kingdom in April 1987 on TV-am. It went on to be broadcast in sixty-two countries around the world.

It was the first animated series from the Western world to be broadcast in the former Soviet Union in 1989 and became so popular there that it sold over twenty-five million Shoe People books.

The Shoe People was created by James Driscoll, who got the inspiration for the show from noticing that the style and appearance of people's shoes revealed things about their owners' personalities. He then wondered what stories these shoes could tell about themselves when they were new and when they had gradually worn out. The show's characters were designed by Rob Lee, an illustrator from Cardiff who had previously designed the characters for TV series such as SuperTed and Fireman Sam.

The theme song was written and sung by Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues.
