Koning Worst 2022,Netherlands, Directed by Mascha Halberstad
This stop motion animation film is a prequel to my next film from Netherlands. At just 22 mins, it narrates the 'Sausage king' of the years competition, where the Greetje's father, Tuitjes is up against the new butcher and his Italian competitor, Smakkarelli racing to win tho has the best sausage.. Things gets worst when Greetje is caught between the fathers competition and her love for Nol. Don't miss. It's a beautiful, cute little musical animation that will win your heart over.
Knor, 2022, Netherlands, Directed by Mascha Halberstad
The story takes place 25 years after the prequel. Grandpa Tuitjes returns to the village to get with Greetje and Nol's 9 year old daughter Babs. Babs wants a puppy for her birthday, but her father is allergic to puppies. So the grandfather gets her a piglet. Knor, with a sinister plan in mind. The relationship between Babs and Knor is threatened and the whole village comes togther to save them. Funny, peppy and touching tale of love which is made with lots of love from the film maker and the team.
Its the first ever stop motion animation to be made in Netherlands which was the opening film at the 72nd Berlin film festival in 2022 and won 3 awards, first for an animation film. On Mubi. Currently unavailable. Wait and watch or watch using other platforms.
