Picolo is the name of a character created by Paul Buissonneau for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
In this 13-part series, Picolo spoke with characters from fairy tales (Bluebeard, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots the Cadet Rousselle, Tom Thumb, Mother Michel, etc.).
[note 4] Also as part of La Boîte à Surprise, another series of 33 episodes that focuses on the areas of France was made.
From 1968 to 1971, Picolo became a series of thirty-minute episodes covering the main themes of the Commedia dell'arte, with Pants, the Doctor, and Captain Columbine.
There was, on disc, entire directories snippets of famous classical music, stripped of all rights.
Paul Buissonneau gave free rein to his imagination to sustain his character Piccolo with small adventures accompanied by the music.
In November 2010, the City of Montreal inaugurated a mural in honor of Paul Buissonneau at the corner of Ontario Street and Beaudry.
