Concept
Each evening, the original 1964 short animated sequence appeared on screen—at 7:30 p.m. in winter and 8:00 p.m. in summer—to tell children that it was time to go to bed. Several versions were produced, first in black and white and later in color. The Telerín Family was composed of six children: Cleo, Teté, Maripí, Pelusín, Coletas, and Cuquín.
Legacy
The series was a major success among children in the 1960s. It was broadcast not only in Spain but also in Mexico, Chile, El Salvador, Venezuela, Argentina, and Uruguay. Merchandise based on the Telerín Family included sticker albums, notebooks, storybooks, clocks, handkerchiefs, and plastic dolls. A comic strip adaptation appeared in the magazines Din Dan (by Editorial Bruguera) and Anteojito by Manuel García Ferré, illustrated by Blas Sanchis.[3]
Adaptations
Film
In 1966 the characters starred in their own feature film, El mago de los sueños ("The Wizard of Dreams").[4]
Spinoff
In 2018 a new 3D-animated series titled Cleo & Cuquín premiered, a modern reboot of the original concept. It was produced by Ánima Kitchent for RTVE and later acquired by Netflix for international distribution.[5] It airs in Latin America on Discovery Kids, in Spain on Clan TV, and in Mexico on Mexiquense TV (Channel 34, part of the Sistema Mexiquense de Medios Públicos) as part of the program "Bim Bam Bum", as well as on Canal 5 and its official YouTube channel.[6][7][8]
