Lady Lovely Locks and the Pixietails

September 12, 1987 - January 23, 1988

Lady Lovely Locks and the Pixietails is a syndicated Canadian-American animated TV series, based on the characters property of the same name created by American Greetings Corporation (creators of Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears and Popples among others) in the mid-1980s. The characters were licensed for a toyline by Mattel, and for a syndicated animated television series by DiC Animation City in 1987. However, only 20 episodes were produced in all and the show was cancelled after one season.

The series was produced by the French and Japanese animators of Rainbow Brite and Jem, among other cartoons of the '80s. The music of the series was composed by Shuki Levy and Haim Saban and supervised by Marty Wereski. The original "Lady Lovely Locks" theme song was composed by Shuki Levy and produced by the music department of Saban Productions and performed by Donna De Lory. The original full theme song can be heard on Shuki Levy's official website.

Hi-Tops released five Lady Lovely Locks videos in the '80s. More recently, the videos re-appeared on the market. They resurfaced as part of the DVD set "Girls Rule Vol. 1" which included the following cartoon series: Jem, Rainbow Brite, and Lady Lovely Locks. Several of the episodes are also available on a DVD in the "Biggest DVD Ever" series for Lady Lovely Locks. Two episodes have never been collected except on the Australian VHS edition.

The Post Production Sound Services were provided by the Animation City Editorial Services, Inc. ("ACES"). The Sound Effects were provided by Zound FX. Richard Bruce Elliott serves as an supervisor sound editor. Michael J. Cowan serves as an sound engineer. Richard S. Gannon serves as an sound effects editor.
