The Evolution of Pino (1976-present)

Image As seen in Year Notes
Sesamstraat Season 1 1976-1977 The original Pino was designed and built by Ton Hasebos. This version lasted only the first season
Sesamstraat Season 2 to 3 1977-1979 This version was created and built by Leo N. Cahn and was not as heavy as the first version. His feathers are a paler blue than the first Pino costume. In season 3, his eyes changed from blue pupils to black cartoonlike eyes.
Sesamstraat Season 4 to 5 1979 -1981 Pino gets a new, larger head.
Sesamstraat 1981-1991 Pino is redesigned for the first time by CTW and the Muppet Workshop. He loses some weight, and his white fluffy belly. His face becomes more cartoonlike.
Sesamstraat 1992-1999 A slightly updated version of Pino is made for puppeteer Renée Menschaar. Pino's head has a slightly different facial expression, without white feathers around the beak. His feathers are a richer blue and cover less of his legs.
Sesamstraat 1999-present In order to look younger, Pino has now a shorter beak, yellow feathers around his eyes, and colourful feathers on top of his head. His blue eyes are replaced by black ones after the 1999 season.
