Have you seen this childhood show: Sandmännchen (1959-Present), Germany (German).
Commentary/Context/Memories: Probably THE most iconic and universally well known german kids’ TV show. It’s still a bedtime ritual for many families.
[Mod A: This is the longest running animated show and the show with the most episodes in history! A show running for 61 seasons (with 22,200 episodes so far!) is absolutely crazy, congratulations to them! The title in English is “Little Sandman” and it is about day-to-day life, contemporary inventions, and adventures around the country. There were two versions, an East German version and a West German version (the East German version is the one ongoing today; it survived the fall of the Berlin Wall because it was more popular). It does look like a very cute show; I find stop-motion really cool! I love all the animal friends (although from my research, I love the hedgehogs best <3)]
