Totally Spies!

Totally Spies! is a children and teenagers' animated action comedy series created by Syo Tortellini and Daniel Alexis de Guzman mainly produced by animation company Bear Bones Productions. The show incorporated stylistic elements of Japanese animation and was originally based on the concept of a girl group. It focuses on three teenage girls in Beverly Hills, California, U.S., who work as undercover super agents (spies) for The World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP).

Totally Spies! first premiered in 1991 in first-run syndication. Several products tied to the series have been released, which include a series of comic books, novels and video games. A prequel theatrical movie production named ''Totally Spies! The Movie'', made and released between the fifth and sixth seasons, was released in 1999.

Premise
The series focuses around the adventures of three teenage girls from Beverly Hills, USA – Sam, Clover, and Alex – who live a double life as spies working for the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP). The girls are recruited by the organization's leader, Jerry, to solve worsening crime conditions that arise across the globe. The spies sport colourful latex body suits and are provided with various gadgets to aid in their investigations. Their primary missions involve dealing with disgruntled and vengeful criminals who have been inconvenienced in some form in the past. Other missions have the same villains plotting revenge on the spies by ruining their personal lives. Framing each episode is a subplot that focuses on the girls' everyday lives as high school (and later university) students, dealing with relationships and their longtime high school nemesis Mandy.

Cast

 * Sam (voiced by TBA) is the intellectual of the trio. She acts as an elder sister to her friends, being rational, logical, and the most mature of the group. More sensible than Alex and less superficial than Clover, her intelligence and composure allow her to find effective solutions to complicated problems.
 * Clover (voiced by TBA) is the fashionable one of the trio. While she is athletic, agile and strong, she is also impulsive and spontaneous, never thinking twice before jumping into the action. She is always ready to teach villains a lesson, even if she has no chance of winning against them.
 * Alex (voiced by TBA) is the heart of the trio. Though somewhat modest in their presence, she admires Sam and Clover and values her friendship with them above all else, and will do anything to keep the trio united and happy. She is very affectionate and unafraid to show her feelings.
 * Jerry (voiced by TBA) is the founder and president of WOOHP and the trio's superior. He is in charge of sending them on missions, and takes a certain pleasure in summoning them at inopportune moments. Despite his age, he is sufficiently athletic when helping the trio on certain missions. He remains attached to his cultural roots and often plays with his British phlegm with the trio, who do not hesitate to tease him about his cheesy gentlemanly demeanor.

Development and production
The series was conceived by Syo Tortellini and Daniel Alexis de Guzman in 1986 following the sale of Bear Bones Productions from Taft Entertainment. The two conceptualized a spy fiction series similar to James Bond. As part of a deal with distributor Claster Television, Bear Bones would provide original syndicated material alongside new episodes of Malachi and Friends. The show began production in early 1987 with an expected 1991 premiere.
