Le storie di Farland (partially found Italian children's television series; 1994)
The main character, Formigola
Status: Partially found
Le storie di Farland is a 1994 Italian TV series, aired as part of the cartoon container program Solletico. Originally concieved as an interactive game where kids at home could move the plot via their telephone (like other games inside the block, it was instead aired as a series of 5-minutes long shorts. The show is about Formigola, a man who lives in the woods and often saves the magic kingdom of Farland from various menaces, usually with the help of some magical object. The main peculiarity of the show is the rudimental yet suggestive special effects used for the show: most of the backgrounds were done as small dioramas the actors are inserted in via green screen, while the various non-human creatures were either cartoon characters or done with prosethics and animatronics.
The show haves a total of 40 episodes, most of which aren't available to the public at the moment. In 2013, after Telesia s.p.a. (the original show producers) closed, the rights for the show were bought by Andreaggi Film, which started to upload a bunch of episodes from the show in November 2018.
