History WesternAnimation / TheTriplets

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Downplayed. The Latin American dub translated the title as "''Las Tres Mellizas''" (The Three Twins) rather than using the term "''Trillizas''" (Triplets).

'''''The Triplets''''' (original title in Catalan ''Les tres bessones'', in Spanish ''Las tres mellizas'') was a Catalan animated series created by Roser Capdevila and produced by Cromosoma and Televisió de Catalunya, also aired dubbed to Spanish for the rest of Spain on TVE.

The main characters were the titular triplets, Anna, Teresa and Helena, who get punished by The Bored Witch ("La Bruixa Avorrida"), their day sitter whenever she caught 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.

The Bored Witch would eventually get her own short-lived spinoff series, also called ''La Bruixa Avorrida''.
