Several other films followed, including two 15-minute shorts that are still shown regularly in Norway, Veslefrikk med Fela (Little Freddy and his Fiddle), based on a Norwegian folk tale; and Karius og Baktus, a story by Thorbjørn Egner of two little trolls—representing caries and bacterium—living in a boy's teeth.

Caprino had set up a film studio in the manor house, and Gude started working full-time on new puppets, which often had luscious proportions.

[citation needed] When making Tim og Tøffe, Caprino invented a method for controlling the puppet's movements in real time.

He then made a feature film about Peter Christen Asbjørnsen, who had travelled around Norway in the 19th century collecting traditional folk tales.

[citation needed] In 1970, Caprino and his small team of collaborators, started work on a 25-minute TV special, which eventually became The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix.

Based on a series of books by Norwegian cartoonist and author, Kjell Aukrust, it featured a group of eccentric characters all living in the small village of Pinchcliffe.

One day, the trio discover that one of Theodore's former assistants, Rudolph Gore-Slimey (Norwegian: Rudolf Blodstrupmoen), has stolen his design for a race car engine, and has become a world champion Formula One driver.

Sonny secures funding from an Arab oil sheik who happens to be vacationing in Pinchcliffe, and the trio then build a gigantic racing car, Il Tempo Gigante—a fabulous construction with two engines, radar, and its own blood bank.

[3] Except for some TV work in the late 1970s, Caprino made no more puppet films, focusing instead on creating attractions for the Hunderfossen theme park outside Lillehammer based on his folk tale movies, and making tourist films using a custom built multi camera setup of his own design that shoots 280 degrees panorama movies.

[4] Since Caprino's death, his son Remo has had moderate success developing a computer game based on Flåklypa Grand Prix.
