Simsala Grimm (1999–2010) is a German television series, consisting of stories based on fairy tales by Grimm Brothers, Hans Christian Andersen and other notable authors.

Characters

• Yoyo - The greatest adventurer, a blue tailless coyote. He is joyful, brave and mischievous. He wears a red hood shoulder piece with bells.
• Doc Croc - A bookworm, a kind and smart red/pink lizard. He wears glasses, a yellow hat and always has a yellow bag. Both characters often argue as Yoyo is brave and willing, but unwise and Doc Croc is sometimes overcautious, yet intelligent.
• Birds - Three clothed birds appear in numerous episodes, often providing advice and/or insight to Yoyo and Doc Croc.
• Mice - Three clothed mice appear in numerous episodes, often providing advice and/or insight to Yoyo and Doc Croc, sometimes even help.

Episode list

In each episode of this series, one of the famous classical fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm is told in the magical land of Simsala. The local characters Doc Croc and Yoyo move between the story-teller and the episode cast, which they tend to help or at least inspire. Each episode begins with Doc Croc and Yoyo as toys on a shelf brought to life by a magical book with the Brothers Grimm in the hardcover.
