I have one question, where I can find some source of this? ''"Although it was planned to be a full 13-episode series that was meant to be aired on TV worldwide the following year, the series was cancelled and only four episodes were produced, presumably due to poor writing and lack of funds despite being funded by the government of Quebec, Canada"''

The thing about government funding came from an old magazine from back in 1999, the other part was said by a lighting director who has a deviantART account - http://comments.deviantart.com/1/75184119/637852257

== Number of episodes ==

A number of secondary sources, such as ''[[L'Histoire de Rayman]]'' (page 152), [https://web.archive.org/web/20090816172410/https://www.destructoid.com/from-the-console-to-the-tv-station-part-5-144112.phtml Destructoid] and [https://www.jeuxvideo.com/dossiers/00018309/la-serie-rayman-rayman-la-serie-animee-016.htm Jeuxvideo.com], mention plans for the series to span across 13 episodes, and not 26, just like this article has stated since [https://raymanpc.com/wiki/script-en/index.php?title=Rayman:_The_Animated_Series&diff=1799&oldid=1798 June 5 2008] and until RayCarrot changed it a few days ago. However, they also contain various other elements from this article, and since they were written after this information was added to RayWiki, I think this is (yet) another case of [https://raymanpc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=26296 citogenesis]. Every primary source and any other source that predates the writing of this article cites 26 episodes, so we will be sticking to this figure for now, but please come forward if we're missing anything. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|class=sprite|link=User:Hunchman801]] 17:01, 2 March 2024 (CET)

My understanding was that there were 13 sets of paired episodes (similar to how shows like SpongeBob did it), making for 26 in total. [[User:Ribshark|Ribshark]] ([[User talk:Ribshark|talk]]) 18:37, 2 March 2024 (CET)
