A new animated series that takes viewers on a nostalgic journey back to the 1950s is premiering on One TV on Monday, January 27 at 4.55pm.
The 10-episode series, produced by Toontuloon Animation Studio, brings to life the stories of a young boy named Karamellu, growing up in the close-knit village of Żejtun.
Written by Charles Buttigieg (In-Nannu Karm), the series is inspired by real-life memories, vividly portraying the joys, challenges and daily rhythms of a simpler era.
Through endearing characters and rich storytelling, Karamellu tar-Raħal t’Isfel celebrates the universal themes of family, friendship and coming-of-age experiences that resonate with audiences of all ages.
“Karamellu is not just an animated series,” Buttigieg says, “it is a tribute to the warmth and simplicity of life in 1950s Żejtun − a world of wonder, community and enduring values that remain relevant today.”
With stunning animation, relatable stories and a spirit of nostalgia, the TV series is set to delight both young and old.
