L'Île aux enfants was a French children's television programme broadcast from 1974 to 1982, first on ORTF and later on TF1, starring Casimir, a friendly orange dinosaur who became a national icon. Its theme song, performed by Anne Germain, opens with the line about the time of laughter and songs arriving on the island. The melody survived through reruns, compilation videos and retro television tributes, and today the chorus circulates online as a nostalgia trigger for French viewers who grew up watching the show.
