Characters

Main

• Yoyo - The greatest adventurer, a blue tailless coyote-looking creature. He wears a red hood shoulder piece with two dangling bells. He is joyful, brave and mischievous.
• Doc Croc (nicknamed Crocy) - A bookworm, a red/pink lizard. He wears glasses, a yellow hat and always has a yellow bag. He is kind, timid and smart. It also appears as if Doc Croc has a slight stutter in his voice.

Both characters often argue as Yoyo is brave and willing, but unwise and Doc Croc is sometimes overcautious, yet intelligent.

Recurring

• Birds - Three clothed birds appear in numerous episodes, often providing/singing advice or insight to Yoyo and Doc Croc.
• Mice - Three clothed mice appear in numerous episodes, often providing advice or insight, sometimes even help, to Yoyo and Doc Croc.

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 storyteller 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.
