characters
Pom pom
Pom Pom is a furry mythical creature that can change its shape almost at will. For example, it can take the form of a wig, a glove, a brush or a tassel on a woman's shoe. However, it prefers to sit on a branch and let the wind swing up and down. In the German version, Hasso Billerbeck spoke the pom pom throughout .
Bows
Bow is a young girl who always wears a bow in her hair. On her daily way to school, she passes a tree, on whose branch Pom Pom is waiting for her to accompany her.
More figures
Arthur the Dumpling is a blue raven who loves chocolate more than anything. In his introductory sentence he always lists all types of chocolate that he likes ("round chocolate, square chocolate, long chocolate, short chocolate, hole chocolate, block chocolate, chocolate with nuts, chocolate with air, milk chocolate, liqueur chocolate ..."). Another secondary character is the eraser spider, a brightly striped spider that can erase everything around it with its nose like an eraser ; in addition, the clock spring back jumper, the color-sneezing hatschibumm and various other figures appear in the series.
Publications
The series was released on video in Hungary in the 1990s , and from 2001 it was also released on DVD .
In addition to the television series, István Csukás as an author and Ferenc Sajdik as an illustrator in Hungary published several books with the stories of pom pom and bows. Two radio play CDs were also released in the 2000s. The book Pompom told, translated by Clemens Prinz, was published in Germany in 2007 . In this book, the names of most of the characters have been changed compared to the cartoon series, for example, "Arthur the Dumpling" became "Arthur Knödel", the "color-sneezing Hatschibumm" became "Hatschi-Benno" and "Bows" became "Püppi" .
Others
At the chocolate festival in the Hungarian city of Szerencs in 2008, a sculpture made entirely of chocolate by Arthur the Dumpling was presented. It was created by the local sculptor Róbert Ekker and weighed 239 kilograms, making it the largest chocolate figure in the world at the time.
Themed playgrounds with motifs from Pom Pom and Vuk were created in 2010 on the Sonnenberg (Naphegy) in the Buda Mountains in the Hungarian capital Budapest . After renovation and expansion in 2014, the playgrounds were reopened in the presence of Ferenc Sajdik, the draftsman of Pom Pom.
Since 2016, the year of the 80th birthday of István Csukás, the author of the stories of Pom Pom, who was born in Kisújszállás, a stainless steel statue over four meters high has stood in the Hungarian city of Kisújszállás . It shows Pom Pom as in the opening scene of the cartoon episodes, namely sitting on the branch of a tree. The location of the sculpture in front of an elementary school is intended to be a reminder of the daily way to school from Schleifchen and Pom Pom in the individual episodes of the series.
