What colour Kössi Kenguru (Kössi the Kangaroo) really is? You'll find that out in the screenings of Pikku Kakkonen's (the Sesame Street of Finnish children's programming) classics. Nalle Luppakorva, Hinku and Vinku are also among the classic characters that now march on the silver screen. There are two screenings for kids, and one evening screening for adults.

Especially Hinku and Vinku, alongside with Kössi Kenguru, have had a lasting effect on the Finns born in the 1970's. Everybody remembers them, and they have now garnered a cult reputation among the age-group, that is soon to face middle age, and is now suffering the first bouts of nostalgia. Both shows also share some aesthetic qualities with South Park.

Kössi Kenguru in Space

Heikki Prepula's Kössi Kenguru with his very active ears is a kind and friendly kangaroo. In Kössi in Space-animation he meets Anselmi the Space Monkey, and gets the idea to go for a rocket trip in space. On that trip the two amigos meet many strange and wonderful things.

Good Manners

Bring Friends Heikki Partanen's Käytöskukka series is a true classic of children's animation, funny, educative and easy to understand. The heroes are a domestic piglet, Hinku, and a wild piglet, Vinku. The "bad guys" are the scary and gluttonous Suursyömäri and the wretched Water Goblins. This series has 13 parts, and they are all dedicated to teaching good manners. There is a moral to every story, as there usually was in the good old days, and goodness gets its reward.
