Trulli Tales (/truːliːɛ/), fully known as Trulli Tales: The Adventures of Trullalleri, is a flash-animated children's television series created by Maria Elena and Fiorella Congedo. The series first premiered on October 17, 2017 on Globinho in Brazil.[2] The series was produced by Fandango TV, Congedo CulturArte, Gaumont Animation, Groupe PVP, and Rai Fiction.

Set in the fictional world of Trullalleri or Trulliland (which is meant to resemble Alberobello),[1] the series revolves around four children and one teacher who learn how to cook from their Grandma Trulli's cookbook from the past. But when Copperpot tries to steal it, the four children; Ring, Zip, Stella, and Sun, must stop him with the magical power from their wands.

Characters

Main

  • Ring (voiced by Eleanor Noble) – The talented leader of the group. He is a generous and kind friend, but can also be a little self-confident and vain. He is good at cooking and is the one in the group who selects the ingredients for each recipe. His wand is a fork and also a magnet, which is able to attract objects. He has brown hair, dark eyes, dressed in red.
  • Zip (voiced by Sonja Ball) – The sportsman of the group. He is nice and funny, but sometimes he proves to be moody and impatient. He deals with mincing, blending, and cutting the ingredients selected by Ring. His wand is a kitchen whisk that can create wind. He has orange hair and green eyes and dressed in blue.
  • Stella (voiced by Sonja Ball) – The most vaporous of the group. Although at many times she is quite inattentive, distracted, careless, childish, and naive, she can be good-natured, kind, sensitive, polite, and sweet. She is talented in decorating, as shown by her ability to decorate the dishes. Her wand is a spatula that she uses to decorate the food made by her and her friends. She has brown hair, brown eyes, dressed in yellow.
  • Sun (voiced by Holly Gauthier-Frankel) – The first of the group's class. She is very determined, intelligent, and brilliant, but can be touchy and stubborn. She takes care of cooking the dishes in the group. Her wand is a spoon, which she uses to control temperatures. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and is dressed in pink.
