Swiss Hedgehogs at Play

I didn't make it to Germany. It's a real shame. Germany will be there, I keep telling myself, and I will go soon. Since I couldn't send you a postcard from Germany, I've dug up these postcards I picked up in Switzerland a few years ago (click to enlarge):



I'd love to know more about them, if anyone out there does. Are they from any type of animation?

Update! Anna tells me they're German, called Mecki, and that there's a trailer right here. It's amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrOe_UvL-rU&feature=related

We're off to Chicago at the end of this week. I've been working on a freelance job I can't wait to show you when I get back, and a long-term knitting project that is one conversation away from getting totally unraveled. You may all be getting hats with the results! I'll keep you posted.
