Gaspard and Lisa is an animated entertainment series aimed at pre-school children. The series is based on the books written by Anne Gutman and illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. The series was made as a co-production between Chorion and animation company Impossible TV.

Gaspard and Lisa engage in various adventures and activities. Though they try to do good deeds, their behavior sometimes causes disturbance to other people, especially Mr. Huget (pronounced hoo-zhay). They say, "Uh-oh, catastrophe!" when they learn that they have created a problem, but "Yes, triumph!" when they fix the problem.

This is a list of the characters in Gaspard and Lisa.^[2] In order:

• Gaspard (voiced by Connor Fitzgerald in the UK and Peter Harris in the US) is an anthropomorphic black dog who is the protagonist of the series. He wears a blue scarf and lives in a high rise apartment. Like children his age, he attends a school that appears to be the same one attended by Lisa. Gaspard originated from a town outside Paris, as he and his family moved to Paris a few years later. When he entered the Parisian school, it was there he met Lisa. He is also the newest member in his school. During his early days in class, he was a shy fellow whom the children laugh at because he brought a large bag with a lot of props. Though a judo practitioner, Gaspard has a slight fear of chickens. Thankfully, Lisa made him look special in front of them and he got over his shyness.
• Lisa (voiced by Kisholi Perera-Merry in the UK and Charlotte Cohen in the US) is an anthropomorphic white dog who is Gaspard's best friend. She wears a red scarf and lives in the Pompidou Centre.^[3] Wherever Gaspard goes, Lisa is often with him, even on Gaspard's visits to his grandmother. She also likes to sing and dance, especially when it comes to cheering up Gaspard whenever he gets glum. Whenever she sobs, she sniffs, but sheds no tears.^[4][5]

• Charles (voiced by Robert Naylor) is Gaspard's older brother. He is a chess enthusiast and always wears headphones around his neck. Though he acts like a snob to Gaspard and Lisa sometimes, he also shows some acts of kindness.
• Gaspard's Dad (voiced by Simon Greenall) wears a blue and green striped tie. He works as a newspaper columnist and even as a competitive cyclist.^[6][7] He has an allergy to cats.^[8][9]
• Gaspard's Mom (voiced by Teresa Gallagher^[10]) is a housewife and wears a purple pearl necklace.
  • Gallagher also voices Mamie Mathilde, Gaspard's paternal grandmother who lives in a blue house far from the city of Paris, and Lisa's Maman, whose appearance is exactly the same as Gaspard's Mom except the skin colour is the same as that of Lisa.

• Victoria (voiced by Bessie Cursons^[11]) is Lisa's older sister. Both she and Charles share the distinction of being occasionally snobbish to Gaspard and Lisa, although Charles is slightly nicer. She also seems to resent Lisa when she pushed her little sister's books off the shelf or scatter the puzzle Lisa made. Her only compliment to Lisa occurred when Lisa learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels.
• Lila (voiced by Taylor Barber) is Lisa's baby sister. She wears a purple onesie. A full-length episode of the series tells the story of when Lila was born and how Lisa was jealous at first but then began to love her sister.
• Lisa's Papa (voiced by Tim Whitnall) wears a gray jacket.
• Lisa's Grandfather (voiced by Paul Soles) has a very deep voice and wears a brown vest. He is a bit of a magician, enjoys biscuits and also has a wife whom he has been married to for four decades.

• Mlle Baladi (named as Mrs. Davis in the US) (voiced by Linda Ballantyne) is Gaspard and Lisa's teacher. She travels on a yellow bicycle.
• Monsieur Huget (voiced by Derek McGrath) is an old man who happens to live in the same apartment Gaspard lives. He is often the brunt of trouble caused by Gaspard and Lisa's naivete.
• Bastian (voiced by Dallas Jokic in episodes 1-26 and Drew Adkins from episode 27 onwards) is one of Gaspard and Lisa's classmates.
• Adrian (voiced by Tyler Stevenson in episodes 1-26, Gage Munroe in episodes 27-44 and Drew Davis from episode 45 onwards) is a French boy of African heritage who is another one of Gaspard and Lisa's classmates.
• Erica (voiced by Isabel DeCarteret) is the only known girl at the school.
• Victoria (voiced by Samantha Weinstein) is one of Victoria's two friends and the only one named. She gave a kitten to Lisa who in turn gave it to Monsieur Huget.
• Madame Perrault (voiced by Katie Griffin) is Mlle Baladi/Mrs. Davis's colleague who has a passion for art.
• Monsieur Delphy (voiced by Richard Ian Cox) is a man in his early-20s and the owner of a pet store.
• Madame Merosh (voiced by Julie Lemieux) is an old woman and the baker.

• John-Claude is Mlle Baladi/Mrs. Davis' pet beagle who sometimes takes Mlle Baladi/Mrs. Davis to her outings.
• Prince is Mamie Mathilde's pet dog. it's unknown if his breed is a Labrador Retriever or a Golden Retriever.
