When Sint Nicholaas' steam boat gets stuck on the IJsselmeer on it's way to Holland, a young girl named Annabel and an old skipper called Eeltje Steur come to the rescue. When asked what kind of present Annabel would like to receive in her shoe on December 5th, she replies 'A house'.

First appeared in black and white on Dutch newspapers in the 50s and 60s, Pim & Pom is a series about the mischievous adventures of two cats. With abundant imagination and energy, these two lifelong friends turn every day into something very special! A vacuum cleaner can be a monster, a pile of newspapers can be a house, and a bathroom floor a skating rink. Through thick and thin Pim and Pom always stand by each other. A fresh, original, and endearing animation series.
