Lí Ban is an Irish anime-inspired animated series[1] produced by Claire Handley and Jude Petticrew. Heavily inspired by the story of Lí Ban, the series follows the titular 12 year-old character and her dog Con as they mysteriously transform into a mermaid and a sea otter. As they explore the deep sea in search for answers, they encounter gods, monsters, giants, and wily humans. The series debuted on both TG4 and Cúla4[2] on October 15, 2024, it is available for streaming on Cúla4's website[3] and is distributed internationally by Aardman[4].

A Welsh language dub of the series was broadcast in on S4C.[5]

The series was made with funding support from Coimisiún na Meán and Northern Ireland Screen’s Screen Fund and Irish Language Broadcast Fund[6].
