André Roche received a bachelor's degree of Tourism, Hotel Administration and Culinary Arts ("BTH") from the Lycée Hôtelier Alexandre Dumas in Strasbourg.
This approach gave them a three-dimensional look that only became common decades later with the introduction of computer colorisation and the construction and use of avatars in 3D modeling programs.
In 1983, André Roche began creating small three dimensional characters to put in the chocolate eggs called "Kinder Surprise", manufactured by the Ferrero company.
He also drew the model sheets and the puzzles for the licensed series Taotao, Pumuckl, Disney's version of The Jungle Book characters, Maya the Bee, Donald Duck, the Smurfs, the Aristocats, and Mickey Mouse.
More André Roche creations followed, such as "The Crazy Crocos", "The Funny Pingos", "The Tiny Turtles", "The Drolly Dinos", "The Elephantos", "The Bingo Birds" (crows playing tennis) and the "Eco Bunnies" (skiing rabbits).
