The Triplets (original title in Catalan Les tres bessones, in Spanish Las tres mellizas) is a Catalan animated series created by Roser Capdevila and produced by Cromosoma and Televisió de Catalunya. Its original run lasted from 1996 to 2003.The main characters are the titular triplets, Anna, Teresa and Helena, who get punished by The Bored Witch ("La Bruixa Avorrida"), their day sitter whenever she catches them making mischief. Her method of punishment is to send them into a popular tale where they would have to help the protagonists to get out of it and learn their lesson.Due to the success of The Triplets, the Bored Witch got her own short-lived spinoff series called La Bruixa Avorrida or The Bored Witch. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: The Bored Witch is horrified when she sees Pinocchio and several other children turned into donkeys and kidnapped, and genuinely hopes the girls would save them (she only intervenes personally at the very end, though). The Bored Witch often teams up with other villains to prevent the Triplets progress, but even she despises the idea of working with an evil toymaker who wants to force Santa into delivering violent toys. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Little Mermaid episode maintains the bittersweet ending of the original book with the titular mermaid deciding to spare the prince's life at the last moment, giving up her only chance to return to the sea and regain her mermaid form, choosing to die instead. However, her sacrifice earns her a place in the afterlife as the daughters of the air carry her to heaven, where she becomes a bright star. | |

Unishment: The girls consider the Bored Witch punishments as these, as while they ultimately learn an aesop, it allows them to visit the worlds of fairytales and interact with the characters of said stories. Sometimes they even provoke the Bored Witch by misbehaving on purpose so she can have an excuse to punish them. In the finale episode, the witch discovers the girls purposely planning to get in trouble in order to draw her attention and decides to not punish them anymore. | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
The Triplets / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: Technically she's the villain of the show, but the Bored Witch's level of antagonism to the Triplets varies heavily Depending on the Writer. The official purpose of her punishments to the triplets is to make them learn their lessons, and accordingly, she sometimes worries whenever the girls are under too much danger, and always keeps her word of bringing them back when the tale reaches its ending. On the other hand, she doesn't play fair and instead actively hinders the Triplets, not being above teaming up with the Villain of the Week from time to time to do so, and sometimes comes up with evil schemes that would have very deadly results for the Triplets if successful. Averted in her spin-off, however, where she is straight-up good. | |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The Spanish dub title is a literal translation from its original Catalan language. "Les Tres Bessones" translates to "Las Tres Mellizas" (The Three Twins) which refers to two set of twins rather than one set of triplets. In fact, there is a simple spanish word for triplets: "Trillizas". | |
