Encyclopedia
The Red and the Blue was an Italian stop motion
animated television series for children. It has two characters, antagonistic shapeshifters, one colored red, the other blue. It is by Misseri Studios.
The show sets the two characters in a undifferentiated white plane in which they interact. They are able to assume various forms at will, for example in one episode The Blue becomes a boat while The Red becomes an island, later the Blue becomes a suitcase while The Red partially converts his body into a chest-of-drawers, filling the suitcase with red 'clothes'.
Misseri's website describes the situation as:
The characters communicate in a prelingual form that conveys emotions without using any particular language. This avoided the need for translation or subtitles.
Francesco Misseri describes the language "non-verbal" and "onomatopoeic" on the website and in a comment on YouTube

The series was written and directed by Francesco Misseri with music by Piero Barbetti. In Australia it was first broadcast on the ABC
