Introduction

“Animaux Couleurs” is the title of a television documentary series by French director Frédéric Rossif. The series consists of 13 episodes of about 13 minutes each, which were broadcast on French television in June 1974. Both the images and music of series are not original but sourced from earlier documentaries by Rossif. The music for this series was composed by Vangelis, but it seems most of it was re-used from “L’Apocalypse Des Animaux” (1973).
