'''''Calimero''''' (カリメロ ''Karimero''<sup>?</sup>) is a cartoon about a little black chicken with a half-eggshell hat.


'''''Calimero''''' (カリメロ ''Karimero''<sup>?</sup>) is an Italian/Japanese cartoon about a charming, but hapless anthropomorphized cartoon chicken; the only black one in a family of yellow chickens. He wears half of his egg shell still on his head. Calimero originally appeared on the Italian television show ''Carosello'' on July 14, 1962, and soon became a popular icon in Italy.
''Calimero'' has had multiple adaptations in Italy, France, and Japan, but none of these were ever licensed to be aired in the US. English dubs do exist however, and some are known to have aired in the UK (primarily Scotland) and Australia, as well as in Portugal with English subtitles<ref>[https://museu.rtp.pt/coleccao-tv-radio/conteudos-televisao/216/calimero Clip of ''Calimero'' from online museum of programming from RTP (Rádio e Televisão de Portugal).] Retrieved 24 Jun '20</ref>. Some of the Italian shorts from 1970-72 received English dubs, though these are hard to find online.


The character has had multiple animated adaptations in Italy, France, and Japan, but none of these was ever licensed to be aired in the US. However, English dubs do exist of some shorts and episodes, though many are lost. Some of these have been rumoured to have aired in Europe (primarily Scotland) and Australia.

A compilation of 13 shorts in English ripped from a laserdisc has been uploaded to YouTube (later mirrored to Archive.org after a copyright claim),<ref>[https://archive.org/details/calimero-13-cartoon-stories-english The compilation of the 13 ''Calimero'' shorts, ripped from a laserdisc.] Retrieved 09 Feb '22</ref> and a Vimeo channel simply called 'Calimero' that uploaded 12 shorts in English, French, and Italian<ref>[https://vimeo.com/user36578745/collections ''Calimero'' channel on Vimeo with playlists of shorts in English, French, and Italian.] Retrieved 24 Jun '20</ref> (though one of the "English" shorts ("Christmas's Letter") is actually a re-upload of the French dub, and the uploader did not respond when contacted about the real English version, so it's still lost).  
In addition, some of the Croatian, Dutch, and Macedonian dubs of some missing English shorts have been uploaded to YouTube. The Macedonian dub is a voice-over, and the English track can be partially heard under it. Two shorts in Turkish have also been found, and file transfers have been uploaded to three other shorts without the original sound. Another English dubbed short, "Calimero and a Wonderful Summer", has also been found and transferred from a film reel.
So far, there are 37 total 5-minute shorts found out of the 78 shorts known to exist.<ref>[http://animeguides.free.fr/series/calimero70/listing.htm A French guide listing the 78 known shorts.] Retrieved 04 Nov '16</ref>


==English dubbed shorts==
There were also at least two rare releases in the UK of these shorts on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc.<ref>[http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/39159/790-105-1/Calimero The Laserdisc Database page on ''Calimero''.] Retrieved 04 Nov '16</ref> One was simply titled "Calimero", and the other was "Calimero and the Wonderful Summer".<ref>[http://www.pre-cert.co.uk/display.php?vId=UK06004 A listing for the episode "Calimero and the Wonderful Summer" on VHS and Betamax.] Retrieved 04 Nov '16</ref> They each contain 13 shorts, including some not currently available in English as well as some that are not currently available at all. There are also some shorts that were released on 8mm and Super 8 film reels which can be bought. However, some of these reels are silent.
Some of the Italian shorts from the early 70s did receive English dubs, though these are hard to find. However, a Vimeo channel simply called 'Calimero' uploaded 12 shorts in English, French, and Italian (though one of the "English" shorts (Christmas's Letter) is actually a re-upload of the French dub, and the uploader did not respond when contacted about the real English version, so that one is still lost). In addition, Croatian dubs over some of the missing English shorts have been found on YouTube, as well as some dubbed in Dutch and Macedonian. The Macedonian dub is a voice-over, and the English track can be partially heard under it. A recording from a film of one other short has also been found without any sound, and two shorts in Turkish. So far there are 31 total segments found.

==English dub of 1972 anime series==
Apparently, an English dub was made of the 1972 Japanese anime adaptation of Calimero. The dub seems to be fairly recent, judging by the high quality of the English language track compared to the old animation. Only one episode of this dub has surfaced online, courtesy of the Vimeo channel of a video company called DVDlab. Interestingly, the episode uses the opening and ending from the French dub and seems to be based off of that dub rather than straight off the Japanese version. When contacted in November 2016, DVDlab replied by saying that they only had the one episode because it was an attempted restoring/remastering on their part, but they could provide contact information for the official distributor of the series. No more info on the dub has arisen as of yet, and it is currently unknown how many episodes were actually dubbed in English (out of the 47 originally made).

Calimero-5.jpg

The titular character.

Status: Partially Found

Calimero (カリメロ Karimero?) is a cartoon about a little black chicken with a half-eggshell hat.

Calimero has had multiple adaptations in Italy, France, and Japan, but none of these were ever licensed to be aired in the US. English dubs do exist however, and some are known to have aired in the UK (primarily Scotland) and Australia, as well as in Portugal with English subtitles[1]. Some of the Italian shorts from 1970-72 received English dubs, though these are hard to find online.

Availability

A compilation of 13 shorts in English ripped from a laserdisc has been uploaded to YouTube (later mirrored to Archive.org after a copyright claim),[2] and a Vimeo channel simply called 'Calimero' that uploaded 12 shorts in English, French, and Italian[3] (though one of the "English" shorts ("Christmas's Letter") is actually a re-upload of the French dub, and the uploader did not respond when contacted about the real English version, so it's still lost). In addition, some of the Croatian, Dutch, and Macedonian dubs of some missing English shorts have been uploaded to YouTube. The Macedonian dub is a voice-over, and the English track can be partially heard under it. Two shorts in Turkish have also been found, and file transfers have been uploaded to three other shorts without the original sound. Another English dubbed short, "Calimero and a Wonderful Summer", has also been found and transferred from a film reel. So far, there are 37 total 5-minute shorts found out of the 78 shorts known to exist.[4]

There were also at least two rare releases in the UK of these shorts on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc.[5] One was simply titled "Calimero", and the other was "Calimero and the Wonderful Summer".[6] They each contain 13 shorts, including some not currently available in English as well as some that are not currently available at all. There are also some shorts that were released on 8mm and Super 8 film reels which can be bought. However, some of these reels are silent.
