The Red and the Blue

The Red and the Blue (Il Rosso e il Blu) was an Italian stop motion animated television series for children. It has two clay animated characters, antagonistic shapeshifters, one colored red, the other blue. It is by Misseri Studios. The show sets the two characters in an undifferentiated white plane in which they interact. They are able to assume various forms at will, for example in one episode The Blue becomes a boat while The Red becomes an island, later the Blue becomes a suitcase while The Red partially converts his body into a chest-of-drawers, filling the suitcase with red 'clothes'. Misseri's website describes the situation as: Two blocks of clay. The Red is big and passionate; he like driving fast cars, eating... enjoying all the pleasures of life. The blue is small, smart and cunning, and he's there just to bother the red.

Il Rosso e il Blu è una serie stop motion italiana per bambini prodotta nel 1976 da Francesco Misseri tramite il suo Misseri Studios, con musiche di Piero Barbetti. I protagonisti sono due blocchi di argilla, mutaforma antagonisti, uno di colore rosso e l’altro blu. Il Rosso è grande e passionale: gli piacciono le macchine veloci, i piaceri della tavola… assaporando tutti i piaceri della vita. Il Blu è piccolo, furbo e astuto, con l’unico scopo di infastidire il Rosso. I due personaggi comunicano in una forma prelinguale che trasmette le emozioni senza usare alcun linguaggio particolare, rendendo questa serie universale.
