The exhibition presents the legendary TV puppets of the children’s programmes of the Estonian Television – several generations of Estonian children have grown up listening to their songs and watching their adventures. |
The first children’s programme aired 70 years ago and since 1957 the Estonian Television has nearly consistently produced new children’s shows. The puppets were made in cooperation with the Estonian Puppet Theatre and the same puppets could be encountered both on the TV screen and on theatre stages. The puppets whose career had taken off on television tended to keep performing from programme to programme and the biggest stars could even perform in more than one programme series. |
