Nogalo (en|Footsy) is a Croatian animated television series created by Ivica Šegvić for Croatian Radiotelevision.[1]
The series is centered on a blue humanoid creature whose head and feet are of the same shape, making the interchangeable. The short is accompanied by music often in sync with the animation.[2]
The initial idea for the show came at an animation workshop for beginners, in front of the Kinoteka in Split, Croatia, where Ivica Šegvić eventually assembled a team to fully flesh out his idea.[1]
The first episode, "Glava za kapu", was shown at festivals in Zagreb and Chicago (1994), as well as Cannes, France, where it got a positive reception. Croatian Radiotelevision produced a total of 39 episodes, and the show was also broadcast abroad in countries like Hong Kong, Israel, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The show is animated using the traditional 2D hand-drawn technique, and each episode is roughly 3 minutes long. Notable animator Joško Marušić was employed as a supervisor.[3]
