Geronimo Stilton Cartoon Italian TV Debut
Its taken 6 years but the Geronimo Stilton Cartoon is set to debut this month on Italian television.
The first season, comprised of 26 episodes each 22 minutes in length, will feature mostly original material. Only two episodes are based on existing Geronimo Stilton books, The Mummy With No Name and Paws Off Cheddarface.
From reports coming out of Italy it seems that Sally Rasmaussen plays a significant role in the series as the major "bad-mouse". The series debuts on Italian television on September the 15th and will air on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.25 AM alongside other morning cartoons.
In more great news, the second has already been given the go-ahead and will start production soon.
Its been a big month in Italy for Geronimo Stilton fans, as the fifth book in the Geronimo Stilton Kingdom Of Fantasy series was released earlier this month.
You can check out the trailer for the cartoon and more news on the characters including screenshots from the series on our Geronimo Stilton Cartoon page.
That’s awesome! And Paws Off Cheddarface has got to be one of my favorite books in the entire series, probably because it was the first one I ever read and how I fell in love with the series.
Any news on when (and if) any English version will be released here? I do believe I read an article that said the animation company partnered up with some American company to bring them here to Canada and/or US.
I do hope someone uploads the Italian versions on YouTube while we wait, even if I can’t understand it, it’ll sure be worth watching it.
And not surprising that Sally is a the “antagonist” – having a real bad guy doesn’t always bode well in children’s books, and while we see that Sally is “sneaky” and likes to “scheme”, the “evil” stops there – which makes it perfect for a children’s series. (I doubt Geronimo even ever called Sally evil or bad… well, maybe bad… I’ll have to check up on that)
Hey Bookie
Paws off is a great book isnt it’? In this book he does mention Sally as “evil” (page 43) but I agree with what you are saying.
There doesn’t seem to be a perception that she is absolutely evil. She is not demonised in the books.
Its like when Trap does all those crazy things to Geronimo, there is a recognition that they still love each other.
Trap is not “bad” for doing these things.
True to form, Geronimo Stilton Books are not “Black and White” but full of color! Open and accepting of diversity.
Ha! Like you I am secretly hoping that someone uploads the Italian TV series to Youtube (even though I know it will be rather illegal to do so!).
Its like the trailers Edizioni Piemme does for the Kingdom of Fantasy books, I can’t understand the words but I love the images and the music, and the narrator gives across so much emotion and expression when he is telling the story!
I’m not sure when the TV series is coming to the US.
Can’t be too long before we hear some solid news.
Cheers

Some great ideas there (and you seem to have your Caps Lock button stuck on-or is that just heaps of enthusiasm!?!).
Hopefully Geronimo will see this and get cracking on a trip to the centre of the Earth very soon.
