An extraordinarily innovative series that combines high quality animation and live action! The series "EPPUR SI MOVE" is set in a colorful animation studio where two 'human' characters act - the head animator SERGIO and FRANCESCO, his assistant - together with the cartoons: the nice chameleon LEA, the messy Indian blackbird ROSSINO, the amazing pair of twin birds LELLO and LELLA. Thanks to the 'Cartoon Gate' from the studio you can enter the magical world of fairy tales and meet the most famous protagonists. THE FIRST 13 EPISODES OF THE SERIES - THE ANIMATED CARDBOARD  The protagonists must help the wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale who, tired of playing the part of the villain, wants a different role. The only way to do this is to literally "redesign" the fairy tale by inserting a new character. A MAGICIAN is chosen who will help the wolf change his part in the story. In doing this, the protagonists will teach young viewers "how to make a cartoon", from the invention of the character and the study of his expressions to the creation of the animation and dubbing.
THE SECOND 13 EPISODES OF THE SERIES - CREATIVITY Everyone in the study is worried: the Witch has stolen the drawings that were used to conclude the tale of Sleeping Beauty! To help her meet her Prince Charming, the protagonists of the series will use the 'Cartoon Gate' to chase the Witch and retrieve the drawings. They will thus enter the world of fairy tales where they will have to solve complex puzzles with the help of creativity. THE FINAL GAME During each episode the young spectators, led by the sympathetic Francesco, will have the opportunity to make games connected to the theme addressed in the episode.
For the first part of the series, for example, the die that invents the stories and the movie reel to animate the characters and many others. For the second part of the series, a method to create faces with the letters of the alphabet, to invent animals with numbers or tell a fairy tale with road signs The television autumn of RAI 2 is enriched with a new funny, extraordinarily innovative and high quality production for kids that combines animation and live action. From September 27 to October 18 at 17,55 the first part of "AND YET IT MOVES", a series conceived and produced by SOME GROUP with RAIFICATION, the Indian company
DQ ENTERTAINMENT and the Italian MNOGO FILM. This series, the first of its kind produced in Europe, mixes cartoons and live action and its production represented a great challenge due to the technical difficulties to be overcome to obtain an excellent result, as the creators Francesco and Sergio Manfio wanted. * * * * * * *  The series is set in a colorful animation studio where the only two 'human' characters act, the two designers SERGIO and FRANCESCO (Sergio Manfio and Francesco Manfio), together with their cartoon friends: the nice chameleon LEA, the messy Indian blackbird. ROSSINO, the amazing pair of twin birds LELLO and LELLA and many others.
The wolf from Little Red Riding Hood's tale, tired of playing the part of the villain, asks the protagonists of the series to invent a different role for him. The only way to do this is to literally "redesign" the fairy tale, inserting the new character of a MAGICIAN who will transform the wolf into a frog and help him change his part in the story. (But why a frog, you ask? Because everyone knows that frogs usually have beautiful roles in fairy tales: they become princes or princesses!). To make things more exciting and unpredictable in the studio of Francesco and Sergio there is a "Cartoon Gate" which allows a direct connection with the cartoon world of the Little Red Riding Hood. Our heroes - humans and cartoons - will often leave the studio to enter the fairy tale, consequently creating a continuous series of surprises and plot variations. Eventually the wolf becomes a ma frog * * * * * * * Disassembling and reconstructing the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood allows Francesco to explain episode by episode to young viewers "how to make a cartoon": from the invention of the character and the study of his expressions to the creation of the storyboard, from the tricks to learn how to create a background (i.e. a background) for your cartoon up to animation and dubbing. During each episode, the children, led by the friendly Francesco, will also have the opportunity to create games related to the theme addressed. In the first episodes, for example, they will be able to build the dice that invents the stories, a flip book, a cinematic to animate the characters and many other fun "optical toys". <Previous |
