La Linea

La Linea by Osvaldo Cavandoli, aka CAVA, was aired on French TV when i was a kid. I still find it wonderful. Check also La Linea 01, 02, 03, 05. What i like best now is that the character is soooo Italian (especially the way it’s gesticulating.)

    I really enjoyed this anime when I was young too.
    I saw that it was on dailymotion. Be aware that dailymotion has very bad “term of use” for uploaded videos.Look in chapter 17. You’ll be surprised.

    La Linea is out on DVD, BTW, three volumes of it, available on http://www.amazon.de (and seemingly nowhere else?)

    I don’t recall where (Seasame Street?), but this sparks some great childhood memories for me too!
    Thanks for posting this!

    I always wondered where these came from. I used to watch these shorts as part of the Great Space Coaster in the States.

    In Dortmund (Germany) they show these clips all day at the subway stations, fun fun!

    La Linea seems to have entered immaculateness… Remember the video Bla bla bla from Gigi d’Agostino (italian off course) in 2003?

    viva la linea !
    I thought I’d share — my 2006 new years card (processing applet) is inspired by this great work…
    thanks *much* for posting this.
