Pirates: Adventures in Art (French: Pirates : Chercheurs d'art) is a Canadian CGI-animated children's television series which aired on CBC Television in Canada from December 18, 2010 to October 15, 2011.[1] The show, produced by DHX Media,[2] was creative-produced and executive-story edited by Jed MacKay, produced by Katrina Walsh and directed by William Gordon.
The show tells the story of four pirates: captain Leo, Fresco the gecko, Skelly the skeleton and Princess Cleo, who sail the seas in search of art, always dodging the evil, art-hating queen Conformia. Along the way, Princess Cleo of her former palace home, who has a knack for artwork, joins the trio and aids them in their quests. The show's theme song was performed by Canadian band Great Big Sea. 44 episodes were produced.
In Latin America, the show launched on February 27, 2012 on Discovery Kids and Boomerang in Spanish as Los piratas y sus aventuras coloridas and in Portuguese as Os piratas e suas aventuras coloridas (Brazil). It also aired in Israel on Israeli Educational Television with the title of הרפתקאות הפיראטים - מסעות בעולם האומנות and reduced as הרפתקאות הפיראטים, in Portugal on Canal Panda with the title of Os piratas e as suas aventuras coloridas, in Germany on Super RTL with the title of Cleo und die Kunstpiraten and in Spain on SerieStation with the title of Piratas: Los aventureros del Arte.
