This takes me to such a wonderful place. I would watch pinwheel habitually and Chapi Chapo was definitely one of my favorites. The happiness that exudes from the music and twins is something I can never forget. This cartoon is what attracted me to French culture. Merci, Merci!

I was furiously digging around the Net for any mention of this show and its charming theme music. Thanks for a wonderful step back time. I'd like to say I was under 10 when it aired on Pinwheel, but ...

I think for most Americans, Pinwheel was perhaps the only way any of these Euro classics ever made their way across the ocean. "Chapi Chapo" was one of those I knew too well, but I hardly knew it's orgins until I found out in the later part of the 90's (as usual, cruising around the net and discovering it from a French cartoon site).

The two characters awfully came off reminding me of what my twin brother and sister (a year younger than me) looked when they were 5 years old. :)

We all watched those films dearly, though it's rather a shame no North American distributor hasn't bothered to see about releaseing these on DVD or air them on TV someplace. I see the French versio of Boomerang does air this along with one other fav of mine, "La Linea" (created by Osvaldo Cavandoli), which also got seen in the US, care of a syndicated children's program, "The Great Space Coaster".

Pinwheel also carried many other films that have since became obscure in later years from the UK, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Japan and elsewhere. Other favs that were seen on Pinwheel include Filmfair's "Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings" and "Paddington Bear" (stop-motion), Kratky Film Praha's "Krtek" (the little mole, created by Zdenek Miler), Zagreb Film's "Professor Balthazar", and many others. Some of these titles have found DVD releases in later years like "Bagpuss" (a stop-motion series of a plush cat that was aired on the BBC as well as seeing a viewing on Pinwheel), but more would be nice, especially in the US that tends to be rather closed-minded on most foreign productions.

I just shed a little tear of joy for Chapi Chapo. Hearing the music and seeing the clips again made me feel as if I were 5-years-old again! Life was so much simpler then, and I am happy that I was able to relive some of it with this site! Wonderful! I saw these little people on Pinwheel in the 1980s, and some of my finest memories of childhood were from that show.

I've spent the entire afternoon listening to this music. I haven't heard these songs in over 20 years and now it seems just like yesterday.

My sister and I watched Pinwheel every morning during the summers of the early 80's. I've already downloaded the songs and played them to her. I wish all this classic stuff from those days wouldn't be so hard to find. Don't they know how priceless this stuff is to those who have so many precious memories of their childhood? Sometimes nostalgia will make you buy something more than anything else!

I'm so pleased that I'm not alone after reading all the comments written above.

Oh my gosh! I was so excited when my sister called me to tell me that she had found this great information about Chapi Chapo! We religiously watched Pinwheel on Nickelodeon in the early 80s, and Chapi Chapo was our favorite! We have been singing the first part of the song for over twenty years, and couldn't quite remember the name of the little skit(we were thinking it was Chari Charo). Thanks for having this great info about the adorable little series! It makes me so happy to hear that familiar music again... :)
