Urpo & Turpo

Urpo ja Turpo

Urpo and Turpo are two toy bears who live on a bookshelf in a child's bedroom. Each episode rebuilds the room into somewhere else out of whatever is already on the carpet: folded laundry becomes a princess's pile of mattresses, toy blocks a castle keep, a plastic saw and a tea-towel apron a hospital. Turpo, the red bear, leaps before he thinks; Urpo, in grey, is pensive, with a lively imagination. A stop-motion puppet series from Hannele Huovi's books, directed by Liisa Helminen, with Marjut Rimminen on the six 1996 episodes and Riho Unt on the 1997 episodes.
