Alice Morel-Michaud has images in her head when asked to talk about her childhood spent in front of the TV. And it was the productions of our stars and our craftsmen who created him a big bank of memories …
Alice, what is the TV meeting that marked you the most?
We often talk about generation Pass-sharebut I was the generation Bagpipe! I remember sending beaks to Danielle Proulx every day through my TV. I later had the chance to work with certain actresses of the show, such as Sophie Bourgeois and Valérie Blais. Each time, I was very impressed.

What are your best TV memories associated with childhood?
I have a very precise memory of watching the show Hello, Madame Croque-Cerise While I was very small. For some episodes, they invited children to make DIY. This is when I understood that it was possible for someone my age to be “in” TV. My world has never been the same again! I took my first steps on a set a few years later …
Did you watch TV very much when you were very young?
Yes! These were precious moments with my parents and my big sister. Even now, when we find ourselves with the family, we often refer to the emissions of our childhood. We sometimes sing in chorus the theme of Ouimzie’s house or Charlotte World.

Would you say that there is a character who influenced you?
I dreamed of being Julie-Pierre, the main character of The lunch box. Obviously, I wanted good lunches like her, but especially I wanted to make a program like her! I found her so tall. She definitely inspired me to become an actress.
Is there a character for the young people you would have liked to play?
I loved the exploded universe of In a galaxy near you. I was surely far too young to understand all the jokes, but it was a program that as much as my sister and I that my father loved. I would have had a lot of fun joining the crew of the Romano Fafard for a few episodes.
What universe would you like to introduce children to?
I think that the most striking youth shows are those that mix reality and magic. The magic dog of Macaroni all garnishedfor example, added a wonderful element on the daily life of the characters. I had the immense privilege to breathe magic into young children in my turn by being part of the distribution of Kaboum. It was a huge playground for me.
In closing, what do you think of today’s youth TV?
I think our youth TV does not have all the love it deserves. It should occupy a more important place in our Quebec television universe because it serves as a first catchphrase to our culture. It was by TV that I first became interested in the art that we created here and that I developed a feeling of belonging to what we produced with us […] I would like us to give ourselves as a mission to reinvest in this crucial part of our culture.
