Classic Nick Wed. – Chapi Chapo
August 21, 2013
Fans of Pinwheel are sure to remember this delightful French
stop-motion series, which was created, by Italo Bettiol and Stephano Lonati
with the wonderful music of François de Roubaix.
The name of the series is a play-on-words since the French
word for hats is "chapeaux " which reflected in the costuming of the
two lead characters. Chapi, the girl, was dressed in red and Chapo, the boy,
wore blue, both wore oversized hats.
Premiering in 1974 on R(T)F Television the show consisted of
the two main characters speaking running around a set which was a white
background with colored blocks. In each episode there was a simple problem for
the characters to solve and at the end of each 60 5-minute episodes the boy and
girl would always end with a little dance.
This charming animated short ran on both Nickelodeon's
Pinwheel in the 1980s and later on Boomerang.
Charles Level wrote the lyrics to the shows opening and
closing credits, which were a combination of nonsense words that accompanied
François de Roubaix’s delightful musical stylings.
