I’m actually surprised so many people outside of italy know about la linea, i guess it being basically a mute cartoon allowed it to spread since you didn’t need to translate it. But still, its nice to see
According to Wikipedia it was shown in over 50 countries and won prizes outside Italy.
I loved it as a kid but somehow always thought it was originally French. Thanks for telling the original name.
Edit: Here’s a compilation (merely 4.5 hrs): https://piped.video/watch?v=ZAqy6w1itH0
The la for poating. Very interesting the intro to whose line is it anyway posted by someone else here is identical. Total inspiration or I guess rip off. Makes me wonder, can drawing style be copyrighted? 🤔🤔
Im from germany and I didn’t even knew that its from italy haha
I watched it on national TV as a kid in Iran
Ngl i thought this was a reference to the UK Whose Line
didnt it talk in muffled horn sounds
Fond childhood memories of that little dude.
I wanna say somewhere in the Attic of my memory I have seen this before, but not sure where. Only thing I can think of is the accountant in the pixar movie Soul. It’s that it? Or what’s the reference?
“La linea” by Cavandoli. You can find it on YouTube. It’s an old cartoon. Like black and white TV old.
I can’t believe no one else has suggested it, but I think it’s a reference to an early version of the opening of Whose Line is it Anyway?
Wow… totally first but looksike the animators for this intro got completely inspired they the Italian cartoon someone posted above. Actually…let me check dates on both…now.im curious who was first.
Edit ; Italian started in the 70s while “whose line…” was 88.
Maybe this music video? Bla Bla Bla
That’s where I recognize it from!
