La Pimpa

Pimpa, a white female dog with red dots all over her body, who lives with her owner/father figure Armando, a plump moustached man who treats her like a daughter. Every day Pimpa goes through new adventures wheter it's in her house's surroundings or all over the world, or even in space, meeting old friends and making newers.

Directed by Francesco Tullio Altan, La Pimpa leans on a strong ensemble — Giorgio Scaramuzzino, Francesca Vettori, Jasmine Laurenti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1983.
