Stop Motion animation of "good night" children's stories, featuring a little sand man.
Had different versions on both sides of the
Iron Curtain that divided Germany. The
Eastern one continues to air as was featured in the movie
Good Bye, Lenin!. (It was also
an astonishing hit with Swedish children in the 1970s. A lot of middle-aged people are still able to hum its
theme music
.)
Still runs on the
German kids' channel, KI.KA. (Kinderkanal). This channel is
jokingly suspected a GDR propaganda channel and East-German espionage x-mitter to this very day (also because it tends to show a
Russian, Czech, GDR, Bulgarian, Polish, etc.
Fairy Tale adaption from the 60s, 70s and 80s on each Sunday.)
