There's something charming about old language learning shows, both overt and "covert" ones like Hélène et les Garçons. I remember Muzzy in Gondoland, BBC's English language teaching cartoon from the 80s.

I wonder why language learning apps aren't more into making entertainment in the language they're proselytizing these days.

Videos are expensive to make and expensive to host. Hard for an app to make money off them.

That makes sense. These old shows probably got government funding for their language promotion mission.
