Changes: De Freggels

Revision as of 10:08, 23 February 2006

De Freggels was the Dutch co-production for Fraggle Rock.

After being exclusively available on rental video in 1983, "De Freggels" debuted on Dutch public television in 1984. Two seasons were dubbed to Dutch, as well as the animated series. There is no new material for the Doc and Sprocket or Travelling Matt sequences.

Just like The Muppet Show and other Henson projects, Fraggle Rock was very popular in The Netherlands. There was even a Dutch Fraggle Rock Fan Club. In the 2000s, an online petition was created in order to get "De Freggels" released on DVD.

Many of the voice people from the puppet series also performed voices for the animated series. Some of the voice people have other Muppet credits. The late Frans van Dusschoten (Gobo) dubbed all of Jim Henson's voices (Ernie, Kermit) in the Sesamstraat pilot episode. Maria Lindes (Red, Ma Gorg) and Olaf Wijnants (Wembley) occasionally perform voices for Sesamstraat; Olaf does the voice of Big Bird in his few appearances.

De Freggels also airs in Belgium; the first season is still shown occasionally. In 2003, the complete series was broadcast in English for the first time.
