Rick the Frog
#weetjenog
(1967-1968)
Joop Geesink has left a huge legacy in the field of drawing and puppet films. His main brainchild, Luki de Leeuw, was on television every day for more than 30 years. Since the 1940s, Geesink mainly produced advertising films with his company Dollywood. In 1966 he thought it was time for a new, funny symbol for the Netherlands because the mill, the clog and the Keukenhof had little humor. He invented and drew Rick the Frog with which he hoped to give his company Holland Souvenirs a face. Rick de Kikker was presented to the press on 27 April 1966 during the opening of a new studio complex.
Soon the frog mascot appeared on, among other things, crockery, key chains and as a cartoon character. Originally, Rick was supposed to have his own daily series with 5 minutes episodes to redeem Pipo the Clown in the summer months. Eventually, the NTR dropped out because of its commercial interests. The TROS, new in the broadcasting system and looking for a children's series, was interested, although it was not possible to broadcast the series daily. Joop Geesink believed in his creation and also had an English version of his puppet series. However, it would remain with 26 episodes and Rick the Frog was not the Dutch Mickey Mouse.
This Rick has nothing to do with the mascot of the same name from the theme park Duinrell.

Deze werd getekend door Jan van Haasteren, die tegenwoordig vooral bekend is vanwege zijn legpuzzels . Jan heeft ook voor De Toonderstudio's gewerkt, waar hij onder andere Kappie tekende. En voor Donald Duck deed hij de Boze Wolf en Kleine Hiawatha. Geesink en Toonder hebben een poosje samengewerkt, maar de één wilde vooral de tekenfilm kant op, de ander poppenanimatie.
