Rumpel

Rumpel and friends.

Rumpel is the Grouch from Sesamstrasse, the German co-production of Sesame Street.

Rumpel is a green grouch with big energetic eyes and a large green nose. He lives in a barrel with his catterpillar Gustav. Rumpel hates rain when others love it, but he loves rain when others complain about it.

Rumpel was added to Sesamstrasse in 1989 as a replacement to Oscar: quite a few critics weren't fond of the American Sesame Street set. German kids did not grow up in a suburb full of trash cans. After a few years of absence, the insert scenes of Oscar returned.
