Angelo Rules
Animated series about a boy outsmarting rules with friends.
Angelo Rules (originally titled *Angelo la Débrouille* in French) is an animated children’s show produced by TeamTO, Cake Entertainment, and International Rheingold Productions. It draws from the *Comment Faire Enrager...* book series by Sylvie De Mathuisieulx and Sebastien Diologent. The series debuted on January 3, 2010, in France on France 3, and centers on Angelo, a clever kid who constantly crafts schemes to handle everyday obstacles like parents, siblings, and household rules.

Angelo fancies himself a wise guy, always devising plans and strategies to escape trouble. He refuses to let anything stop him from getting what he wants and actively seeks out challenges. He isn’t discouraged by typical kid setbacks—parents, siblings, rules—and relies on two close friends: Sherwood, the logistics expert, and Lola, the enthusiastic one. Together, they form a winning trio.
