Calimero-5.jpg

The titular character.

Status: Partially Found

Calimero (カリメロ Karimero?) is an Italian/Japanese cartoon about an anthropomorphized chicken named Calimero; the only black chicken in a family of yellow chickens. Calimero wears half of his egg shell 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 in some shorts and episodes, but many of them are lost. Some of these are known to have aired in the UK (primarily Scotland) and Australia.

English Dubbed Shorts

Some of the Italian shorts from the early 1970s (beginning in 1970) did receive English dubs, though these are hard to find online . A compilation of 13 shorts in English ripped from a laserdisc has been uploaded to YouTube,[1] and a Vimeo channel simply called 'Calimero' that 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 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. So far, there are 40 total segments found out of the 78 shorts known to exist.[2]

There were at least two rare releases in the UK of these shorts on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc. One was simply titled "Calimero", and the other was "Calimero and the Wonderful Summer". They each contain 13 shorts, including some not currently available in English as well as some that are not currently available at all. Their listings can be found here (though they are not available for sale):

English Dub of 1972 Anime Series

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 on 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).
