'''''Code Lyoko''''' ({{IPA|fr|kɔd ljɔko}}; stylized as '''''CODE: LYOKO''''' in season 1 and in all caps in seasons 2–4) is a French [[Anime-influenced animation|anime-influenced]] [[animated series]] created by [[Thomas Romain]] and Tania Palumbo and produced by [[Antefilms Production]] (season 1) and [[MoonScoop]] (seasons 2–4) for [[Cartoon Network]],<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ball|first1=Ryan|title=Cartoon Network takes crack at Code Lyoko|url= https://www.animationmagazine.net/2004/03/cartoon-network-takes-crack-at-code-lyoko/|website=Animation Magazine|publisher=Animation Magazine|access-date=2 January 2025|date=9 March 2004|archive-date=26 November 2024|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20241126202852/https://www.animationmagazine.net/2004/03/cartoon-network-takes-crack-at-code-lyoko/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[France 3]] and [[Canal J]], with the participation of Conseil Général de la Charente, Pôle Image Magelis, Région Poitou-Charentes and Wallimage. The series centers around a group of teenagers who travel to the virtual world of Lyoko to battle against a hostile [[artificial intelligence]] known as X.A.N.A., which activates Towers on Lyoko to attack the real world. The scenes in the real world employ traditional animation with hand-painted backgrounds, while the scenes in Lyoko are presented in [[computer-generated imagery|3D CGI animation]].<ref name="R">{{cite web|title="Code Lyoko" arrive sur Netflix: l'histoire secrète de la série culte|url=https://www.bfmtv.com/people/l-histoire-mouvementee-de-code-lyoko-racontees-par-son-co-createur-thomas-romain_AN-202010010067.html|language=fr|website=BFMTV|date=2020-01-10}}</ref> The series began its first 97-episode run on September 3, 2003, on France's [[France 3]], and ended on November 10, 2007 and on [[Cartoon Network]] in the United States on April 19, 2004 and ended in 2008 after its final seven episodes aired online at Cartoon Network video.

A follow-up series, ''[[Code Lyoko: Evolution]]'', began airing at the end of 2012. This "sequel" to the series featured live-action sequences for scenes taking place in the real world instead of its traditional 2D animation from the original series but retained the iconic CGI for scenes taking place in Lyoko, now with an updated artstyle. The show only consisted of one season of 26 episodes with the final episode airing in late 2013, leaving off on a cliffhanger with no second season or other sequel series planned due to MoonScoop’s filing for bankruptcy shortly after in 2014.
