Calimero

Calimero is back!

The little brave black chicken is back!

Calimero is the only black one in a family of yellow chickens. You can recognise him because of the white scratched egg-shell on his head. After he was born he never took his egg-shell off!
Calimero is the personage that children know best: good reasonable, generous, perhaps a bit naïve at times but always loyal. He lets himself be carried away by other ones enthusiasm, but his good practical sense helps him in mitigating his friends’ rashness. He is very patient but at times he also loses his temper, especially when there is a matter of injustice and he manages to show his colours with success.

The theme of the Calimero's series is one about friendship, family, community and good feelings. There are no monsters, disasters or “enemies” to fight and to defeat, except for ones represented by Piero‛s tricks, by little incomprehension, by difficulties to grow up. Danger or frightening situations that can happen in a town always turn out to be positive. Sometimes risks are only imaginary, like children’s daydreams that disappear when they wake up. They are little stories for children and parents who want to dream together.
