Story

Topo Gigio was the lead character of a children’s puppet show on Italian television in the early 1960s. The character, created in 1958 by artist Maria Perego and her husband, debuted on Italian television in 1959.

Topo Gigio was very popular in Italy for many years—not only on TV, but also in children’s magazines, such as the classical Corriere dei Piccoli, animated cartoons, merchandising and movies. In 1963, the character’s popularity spread to the world after being featured on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States.

In 2020, an animated cartoon series was launched. “Topo Gigio” brings you the daily adventures of a cute little mouse who lives in the world of humans. Everything is so new to this witty and sincere fellow that a boring school magnet project, a trip to the zoo, a simple backyard game, or helping out a friend all become incredibly exciting!

Gigio has loyal “partners in crime” by his side: best friend Zoe who always helps him sort things out, Bike Bob , the perfect companion to ride around town with and the “ G-Team ” (Mole, Pigeon, Bunny Twins, Turtle, Toad) always ready to join him anywhere in swashbuckling and irresistible adventures!
And, at the end of the day, it’s time for a simple request: “Say goodnight and… scramble me with cuddles! ”

“Topo Gigio” is a collection of compelling stories with a cast of delightful characters reminiscent of today’s children make “Topo Gigio” a wonderful viewing experience, bringing exciting memories to all the children of the world.

Who are the main characters of Topo Gigio?


Topo Gigio: Mouse Gigio defines the concept of uniqueness. People on the street might look at him and wonder wether he's a child or a mouse... But his friends appreciate him for his enthusiasm and fresh outlook on life. Because Gigio can see everything from another perspective and manages to involve everyone in his crazy adventures. Everything is new for Gigio ! He is among the most naïve characters on the planet… and yet, he is extremely confident : when he has an idea, it can be 100% wrong, but that will never discourage him! Gigio is a lovely charmer, he can melt your heart by playing his guitar and humming a ballad for you. But underneath the surface, what he really needs is to be cuddled and kissed!
Zoe: Zoe is 9 years old and is the perfect counterweight to Topo Gigio's free spirit. Where Gigio is spontaneous and carefree, Zoe is reliable and confident. She has a list of rules on "how to do things correctly". Her life was totally under control until the arrival of Topo Gigio (although much less fun!). Zoe is curious and loves new things, especially when it's related to science. She wants to be the best at everything and she loves to prove how smart she is. However, her need for perfection sometimes makes her exaggerate things. Zoe deeply loves Gigio. They complement each other. She's a good teacher, he's a fun-loving friend who helps her get out of her books. Her passions are: Gigio, science, school… and Bike Bob!
Bike Bob: Bob is 10 years old and rides his bike around town 24/7. Zoe, Gigio and Bob are best friends. Bob is a “ why not ” guy. He is quite gullible, like Gigio. He thinks he can talk to ghosts or aliens… he also thinks the school principal is a robot. He is also an inventor, who always has a brand new invention to help his friends in their daily adventures. He is the one who "rigged" Zoe's remote controlled helicopter and transformed it into Gigio's GCopter, and invented the GBus. Unfortunately, most of the time things won't work out!
G-Team: They are Gigio's best animal friends, they are a team consisting of a pigeon, a turtle, two bunnies, a mole and a toad. Gigio always encourages them to go on missions with him – even if it's a bad idea. He calls them with the Gigio Watch, which summons them by emitting ultrasounds. They are all comedic characters and they always make one and ruin all the plans. They speak languages ​​incomprehensible to animals that only Gigio understands – he is their interpreter for all forms of communication with the human world. At least, when it works… They're headquartered in Zoe's old treehouse, hidden from her parents!
Emilia: Nicknamed Emy for all her friends, she is Zoe's best friend. She is quite shy but she's a great singer. We would all like Gigio and Emy to sing together! She has a kitten, Meowie, who becomes friends with Gigio.
Twyla: she's a true fashionista. The undisputed trend is her mantra. Gigio is always enthusiastic about the “new chic fashion items” that she always wears! She is often competitive with Zoe, but she is also one of her best friends. She loves her "cute" and extremely scary dog: Dogzilla.
Tatum: he's he school bully. Everyone is afraid of him, even Gigio! He has a grandmother that he loves, but she has no idea that he is a bully and is always counting on her beloved grandson! But despite his flaws, Tatum is still accepted by the friend group.
Jo: He's the know-it-all kind of guy and loves science just like Zoe. Actually he… has a crush on Zoe! At school he always offers her an extremely healthy and organic lunch that her mother prepares for him, hoping to bring him closer to her fantasy.
Laura: Zoe's mother is a hardworking and well-prepared scientist, but at home she is a sweet and caring.
Gregory: Zoe's father is emotional and sensitive, which helps because he is a professional magazine photographer.
