Topo Gigio (2020)

Topo Gigio is an Italian animated children's television series, produced by Topo Gigio s.r.l. and Movimenti Production for Rai Ragazzi. It airs on Rai YoYo since 2020. The series is based on the 1959 character of the same name by Maria Perego; this is the last project for the franchise she had worked on, with her husband, before her death in 2019.

Topo Gigio follows the titular witty and heartfelt mouse; everything to him is so new that a boring school project on magnets, a trip to the zoo, a simple game in the backyard or helping a friend are all incredibly exciting things. Gigio has faithful "partners in crime" beside him: his very best friend Zoe, who always helps to make things right, Bike Bob, the perfect buddy to ride with around the city of Townville, and the G-Team (Mole, Pigeon, Bunny Twins, Turtle, and Toad) — a pair of cute critters who only Gigio can understand — ready to join him everywhere in reckless and irresistible adventures!
