The Daltons (Les Dalton in French) is a French animated series produced by Xilam based off Morris' Lucky Luke comics that aired between 2010 and 2015. It has a similar animation style to the film Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure, also made by Xilam.The show focuses on the Dalton Brothers as they repeatedly try (and fail) to escape from prison, all the while surrounded by a colourful cast of characters — most notably the blustery but surprisingly shrewd warden Melvin Peabody, the sunny and sweet-natured prison librarian Miss Betty... and of course Rintindumb, the most inept guard dog in the West.Not to be confused with the live-action film Lucky Luke and the Daltons, which often goes by just The Daltons.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite Joe's annoyance at Averell's stupidity and his apparent willingness at leaving him behind from time to time, he shows in "Daltons Vacations" that he really cares about him and still loves him in spite of it.

Canon Foreigner: Every character except the Dalton brothers, Rintindumb, Ma Dalton and Ming Lee Foo. And Ming Lee Foo has undergone a drastic design change and barely resembles his original comic counterpart.

comment
The Cameo: Lucky Luke, though he doesn't officially appear in any episodes, does make a couple of brief visual cameos, in flashbacks, dream sequences and similar. Oggy from Oggy and the Cockroaches makes a couple of cameos in a few episodes, most notably both he and the cockroaches briefly appear in Joe's dream in the episode "The Secret Passage".

comment
Those Two Guys: The two prison guards, Pete and Emmett. Besides being the main duo who go after the Daltons when they escape, they seldom play much of a role in the plots, but they occasionally play Greek Chorus or have a Seinfeldian Conversation on the sidelines while the Daltons hatch their latest scheme.

Failure Is the Only Option
 The Daltons / int_260926c3
comment
Failure Is the Only Option: The Daltons never DO manage to escape from prison (at least, never for very long). Therefore unlike the comics and the episodes featuring a certain cowboy's adventures, the whole plot almost always occurs around the prison's perimeter.

Mistaken for Santa: The Christmas Episode "The Daltons' Christmas" has the brothers build a chimney to escape while passing it as a guise for Santa Claus, but Pete and Emmett have a grudge against Santa and want revenge. At two points, they mistake Averellnote  whom Joe sent disguised as Santa to distract them and Peabodynote  who dressed up as him as per Miss Betty's request to give gifts to the prisoners for their target and go on the warpath, but the episode ends with them finally cornering the real deal on his sleigh...

Easy Amnesia: "Joe's Amnesia" deals with him knocked out of the penitentinary by famous boxer Torpedo Miffin with such force he loses his memories and mistakes his brothers, who follow suit, for his kidnappers. Averell, William and Jack try their darndest to bring him to back to normal throughout the episode, but in the end, once everyone is back in prison, the boxer himself cold-clocks Joe back to normal for touching his stuffed rabbit... upon which the Daltons' leader discovers to his horror that he was the one who foiled their escape plan!

Adaptation Personality Change
 The Daltons / int_6fbe85e6
comment
Adaptation Personality Change: William Dalton, who along with Jack served as a faire-valoir in the previous incarnation of the character, is here presented as a more intellectual person, often citing cultural knowledge he finds in books, being a consummate reader in the show. To elaborate, he has knowledge about: the Aztecs, water pressure, amnesia, dreams, etc. In a setting with seldom characters who read, it almost makes him look like a genius.

Adaptational Intelligence
 The Daltons / int_72455542
comment
Adaptational Intelligence: Rintindumb — slightly. He's still The Ditz who tends to miss the point by a mile, and a completely inept guard dog, but in this series he's better at actually understanding what people are saying to him, even when they aren't talking about food. This could apply to all the brothers as well, with the clever and imaginative plans of Joe and the others.

Animation Bump: While Season 1 is still nicely animated like other Xilam shows, there were much more animation errors and stiffer animations than Season 2, in which the overall look took a step up with some surprisingly smooth character movements.

Denser and Wackier: The general look and personalities of the Daltons and Rintindumb is the same as ever, but both they and the world around them are a lot zanier and more cartoony than in the comics... though not quite to the degree of the Go West: A Lucky Luke Adventure movie.

World of Weirdness: Where the Lucky Luke comic takes place in a mostly realistic world with only a few "impossible" aspects (such as Lucky Luke's superhuman reflexes), this cartoon revels in the fantastic, bizarre and supernatural. Curses, magical objects and Weird Science are commonplace and drive several of the episodes.

Ms. Fanservice: Lou, the female prisoner from the episode "The Lady Bandit". She's a tall, buxom, redheaded lady with Hartman Hips, who wears a midriff-baring version of the prison uniform and is consistently drawn and animated to look as sexy as possible, to the point where one shot focuses on her bouncing breasts.

Demoted to Extra: Apart from a couple of very brief cameos in flashbacks and such (with predictable reactions from Joe), Lucky Luke does not appear in the series. Justified, since he's the one who goes after the Daltons whenever they escape in the comic — since they never manage to do so here, his role would be redundant.

Dub Name Change: Rintindumb, as per usual. While his most common name in English translations is "Rin Tin Can" (with the Hanna-Barbera series naming him "Bushwack"), in modern animated appearances like this one he's usually "Rintindumb". In the original French he is of course "Rantanplan".
