Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roy was the first Irish-produced children's series to blend live-action and animation this extensively, quietly paving the way for hybrid formats now common in streaming.
Creator Alan Shannon originally developed Roy as a short film concept in the late 90s, spending nearly a decade pitching what networks called 'too technically weird' for children's TV.
